Jennifer Aniston is 'always hard working' when it comes to her fitness routine
Jennifer Aniston is "always hard working" when it comes to her fitness routine. The 56-year-old actress often posts social media updates showcasing her workouts, and now her personal trainer Dani Coleman has revealed the Hollywood star's preferred way of moving through the Pvolve method. She told E! News: "She really trains in all three of our signature formats: Strength Sculpt, Progressive Weight Training class and Sculpt and Burn. "So, your strength, your mobility, as well as your cardiovascular health—she trains in it all, Keeping her practice has been truly incredible to witness firsthand. "Anything that can challenge Jen's core is probably like one of my favourite things to try to do with her. Because she's so strong and so finding new ways to challenge her with the Pvolve method has been so fun as a trainer. "I haven't given her anything yet that she said 'no' to. I'd say she is always hard working, always keeping me laughing with her humor, and it's a lot of fun. It's really a dream come true." Jennifer - who shot to fame alongside Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, Matt LeBlanc, David Schwimmer, and the late Matthew Perry in the classic 1990s sitcom 'Friends' - previously revealed she would be keen for her former co-stars to take up the method that combines low-impact functional fitness with resistance-based equipment. She told 'Entertainment Tonight': "It's like I found a precious stone of some sort. It's just changed my whole outlook on working out. It's something I look forward to. I'm still trying to get Courteney to take a class with me, but I'm working on her. Lisa's working so often [that] I can barely get her in Los Angeles." But the 'Morning Show' star insisted that her new exercise regime is not a "fad" and claimed that it goes back to the age-old principle of "calories in and calories out". She said: "Fads are what they are - they're just fads. They come and they go, and it's not very science-based or backed by much. When I was in my 20s, was there a grapefruit diet for a second there? Sure. I remember doing that. I also remember doing Nutrisystem... Things like that just aren't sustainable. "Calories in, calories out. You put good, healthy vegetables, organic foods in your body, your body is gonna thrive on it. Put crap in your body, and your body's gonna show that. "Your body is just a reflection of everything that you do. It's about maintaining a balance. "Eighty percent straight as an arrow, doing all that we're supposed to do, and then give yourself 20 percent of fun. "That's like, let's go out with the girls and get Mexican food, margaritas. Let's have a pizza party. Let's barbeque burgers and fries, hot dogs, by the pool. It's indulging and enjoying yourself and maybe saying, 'I'm not gonna work out today

One of Oprah's favorite things prepares for Chapter 11 bankruptcy
The U.S. has had an obesity problem for decades, with the prevalence of obesity hitting 40.3% amongst American adults in 2023, according to the Centers for Disease Control. Over the years there have been lots of successful programs that help people lose and manage their weight, but some of these companies have struggled in recent years. Don't miss the move: Subscribe to TheStreet's free daily newsletter Jenny Craig closed its physical locations after 40 years in the weight-management business and filed for bankruptcy in 2023. Management cited weight-loss drugs and competition from meal-delivery services like Hello Fresh and Hungry Root. The company was revived by one of its competitors, Nutrisystem, and now sells its programs only online. Related: Iconic retail brand closing stores nationwide for good (locations revealed) However, Nutrisystem's owner, Wellful Inc. is having financial problems of its own, as reported by Bloomberg in December and may also be facing bankruptcy since it is unable to pay its debt. The one thing these companies all have in common is the surging popularity of weight-loss drugs like Ozempic and Mounjaro. The demand for programs that focus on lifestyle changes as a means to weight loss have taken a hit in recent years. But in 2023, for the first time in years rates fell, and some experts believe the drop was partly due to the increasing use of semaglutide or tirzepatide (aka GLP-1 or GIP), medications. Ozempic is the most prescribed, but there are nearly a dozen brand-name medications that all function the same way: Wegovy, Saxenda, Zepbound, Adipex, Qsymia, Xenical, Alli, Contrave, and Suprenza.

Related: Ozempic, diet drugs hit a huge government roadblock Around one in eight American adults (about 12%) have reported using a GLP-1 drug, with 6% currently using them, according to a KFF Health Tracking Poll. These drugs are very expensive: without insurance, they can cost over $1,000 a month. WW International - also known as Weight Watchers - stock traded as high as $100 in 2018 but has faced a series of headwinds. First, the company was affected by revenue declines in both its digital subscriptions and in-person workshop memberships. The company's attempts to pivot to telehealth and even offer weight-loss drugs as part of its program have not been successful. As of April 9, 2025 the stock is trading at 0.18, a one-day drop of 62%. Then, last year, Oprah Winfrey who had been a huge advocate for the brand, crediting it with her own weight loss, left the company's board. She had joined in 2015 and owned a 10% stake in the company. "I look forward to continuing to advise and collaborate with WeightWatchers ... in elevating the conversation around recognizing obesity as a chronic condition, working to reduce stigma, and advocating for health equity," Winfrey said in a statement at the time of her departure. Like so many other Americans, Winfrey credited the use of an unnamed weight-loss drug for her own weight loss. She told People, "The fact that there's a medically approved prescription for managing weight and staying healthier, in my lifetime, feels like relief, like redemption, like a gift, and not something to hide behind and once again be ridiculed for." The company is reportedly negotiating with lenders and bondholders to restructure and, according to a Wall Street Journal report, is preparing to file for bankruptcy although it has not said anything publicly.

Melissa Joan Hart on Her 40-Lb Weight Loss: ‘I Make Exercise a Social Event'
Melissa Joan Hart has been in the spotlight for decades, getting her start in hit 90s TV shows like Sabrina the Teenage Witch and Clarissa Explains It All. But beyond the screen, the actress, now 48, has been open about her struggles with weight gain, especially after having children. Through a combination of portion-controlled eating, fitness routines and lifestyle changes, she successfully lost 40 pounds.. Here's what Melissa Joan Hart has shared about maintaining her weight loss and how she found body confidence. Like many moms, Hart struggled to fit back into her pre-pregnancy clothes after welcoming her third son, Tucker, in 2012. During pregnancy, she said she gained 60 pounds and was determined to shed the weight. Here's what helped her shed pounds and keep it off. Initially, Hart lost 30 pounds on her own before turning to Nutrisystem for additional support. Her sister-in-law, Sally Wilkerson, recommended the meal-delivery program after using it in her own weight loss journey. After joining Nutrisystem, Hart dropped another 40 pounds over two years and became a spokesperson for the brand. '[I'm] slimmer now than before the baby!' she gushed to Us Weekly in 2014. 'Programs like Nutrisystem can be effective for short-term weight loss because they simplify meal planning and portion control while emphasizing high-protein/lower-calorie meals,' explains Jennifer Habashy, NMD, MS, assistant medical director at Claya. However, she emphasizes it isn't a requirement to lose weight. 'People don't necessarily need an overly-structured program to see results, but they do need a solid understanding of balanced nutrition and mindful eating.' Hart's success with Nutrisystem came from its portion-controlled meals, which allowed her to eat her favorite foods without guilt. 'They do healthy versions of the foods you like,' she told Us Weekly. Some of her go-to meals included a 270-calorie ricotta cheese-stuffed pasta and tortilla soup with rice, beans and corn. She also indulged in sweet treats like an almond-coconut bar reminiscent of her favorite Mounds bar and an occasional red velvet whoopie pie. Hart emphasizes that diet plays a much bigger role in maintaining weight loss than exercise. 'You can't out-train bad nutrition. I love that saying,' she said to People in 2020, adding that 80 percent of her success comes from what she eats. In the same interview, Hart shared that her daily meals typically included Nutrisystem shakes for breakfast, salads for lunch and lean proteins like chicken or beef with vegetables for dinner. Hart credits her weight loss success in part to making exercise quality time with friends and family. 'I make it a social event. I chitchat with friends on walks or run with my husband,' Hart told Us Weekly. She and her husband, musician Mark Wilkerson, also work out together regularly. 'Since he's such an avid workout guy, I wanted to have him train me to see how my body could shift and change,' Hart explained to People. Together, the couple dedicate an hour, three times a week, to strength training. Hart also attends cardio classes like spinning twice a week to keep her energy levels up. 'This is a good way to join together and spend time—just the two of us—away from the kids,' Wilkerson has said about their shared fitness commitment. For Hart, she found her motivation through others. 'If I've signed up for a class or I promised someone I'd be there, it just helps motivate me,' she added to People. 'Working out with a partner enhances motivation, accountability and consistency,' explains Steven Dick, co-founder of The Fitness Group. 'Research has established that individuals working out in pairs push themselves harder, resulting in improved outcomes in the long run.' Beyond the physical transformation, Hart has been vocal about how weight loss improved her confidence and overall well-being. In a 2015 interview with E! News, she described feeling more capable of keeping up with her active lifestyle. 'It just made me happier,' she said. 'It made me feel physically and emotionally lighter to be able to do the things I wanna do, to be able to wear the clothes I wanna wear, to be able to feel sexy around my husband again. I'm very proud of myself.' As someone who grew up in the entertainment industry, Hart has faced the pressure to look a certain way. In past interviews, she's spoken about the unrealistic expectations placed on actors, especially as they age. Hart recalled numerous occasions where she was told by agents she had to lose weight if she wanted to succeed. 'That's the hard part about the business,' she told Us Weekly in 2019. 'As you get older, it gets harder—and then you have babies! Nobody wants to see you age or see your body change.' Despite these pressures, Hart maintains a positive body image and encourages others to focus on how they feel rather than external opinions. 'I have a really good body image. But I definitely have things I wish I could change and things I get down on myself about,' she admitted. 'But I try to put that in perspective.' After her success with Nutrisystem, Hart turned to SlimFast, another weight loss program, to help her stay on track. As a busy mom of three, she appreciates the convenience of having quick and nutritious meal replacements available. 'If my kids are eating something I don't want, like pizza or burgers, I can have a shake, and it's satisfying,' she explained to Us Weekly. 'It gets me through the night without any cravings, and I feel so much better the next day.' For Hart, maintaining a healthy lifestyle isn't about perfection; it's about feeling healthy from the inside out. 'Staying in shape and staying fit is so important in my life just because of all the things I want to do,' she said to E! News. Whether it's working out with her husband, indulging in a treat now and then or finding practical solutions that fit her hectic schedule, she's found a system that works for her and keeps her feeling her best.
