<\/div>\nIt\u2019s no coincidence that actors preparing for physically demanding roles, elite athletes competing at the top level, and high-performing professionals balancing relentless schedules turn to experienced personal trainers for help. At this level, training goes far beyond basic fitness routines and had to work with the pressures that come with demanding careers. <\/p>\n
The best personal trainers often have key principles applied to their training that helps their clients get fit \u2013 and keep coming back. From Los Angeles<\/a> to London<\/a>, these ones are most in-demand.<\/p>\n Jenny Pacey<\/strong><\/p>\n\n <\/p><\/a>\n A post shared by Jenny Pacey (@jennypacey)<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n Few trainers straddle Hollywood spectacle and elite athletic performance quite like Jenny Pacey.<\/a> A Loughborough University sports science graduate, former GB international long jumper, and Olympic-level bobsledder, Pacey uses the \u201cthe programming and periodization principles employed by elite athletes,\u201d she says. \u201cMy personal training technique is highly individualized.\u201d<\/p>\n Her client list reads like a film credits roll. She trained Kristen Wiig for nine months for Wonder Woman 1984<\/em>, developing strength and sprint mechanics to transform her into Cheetah. She also coached the film\u2019s Amazon warriors and has recently worked with Rosamund Pike across two productions.<\/p>\n But her philosophy extends beyond aesthetics. \u201cIt\u2019s crucial to understand that while muscle adaptation occurs quickly, tendon and ligament adaptation takes longer,\u201d she explains, outlining her structured macro-, meso- and micro-cycle programming. Her aim? \u201cTo help clients feel like the best version of themselves. We focus on training thoughts just as much as we do on training muscles.\u201d<\/p>\n Aimee Victoria Long<\/strong><\/p>\n\n <\/p><\/a>\n A post shared by Aimee Victoria Long | Pilates PT (@aimeevictorialong)<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n In London\u2019s upper echelons of wellness, Aimee Victoria Long<\/a> has built a reputation for results-driven training: \u201cI\u2019m a fairly laid-back trainer who understands the importance of balance,\u201d she explains, but beneath that calm exterior is discipline.<\/p>\n Long combines Pilates, strength and conditioning, mobility, and cardio because, as she puts it, \u201creal results come from a well-rounded approach. Nothing is one-size-fits-all; everything is built around the person in front of me.\u201d<\/p>\n Training clients multiple times per week allows her to understand far more than just their squat depth. \u201cThat connection is what allows me to truly tailor everything \u2013 and really make them enjoy the sessions even if they can be brutal at times.\u201d<\/p>\n Her perspective on luxury training is direct: \u201cPaying a high price tag doesn\u2019t guarantee results. Consistency, effort, and accountability matter far more.\u201d<\/p>\n\n Emily Schofield<\/strong><\/p>\n As gym manager of the Los Angeles outposts of Ultimate Performance<\/a>, Emily Schofield is used to working with high performers. The brand\u2019s client roster has included Glen Powell, Jonathan Bailey, Olivia Colman, Lily Collins, and Dave Bautista, to name a few \u2013 but for Schofield, profile is secondary to precision. \u201cThe clue is in the title,\u201d she says. \u201cPersonal training should be completely personal.\u201d<\/p>\n Her approach is deliberately hands-on and exacting. \u201cA good personal trainer should be present for every rep their client performs. My role is to understand exactly what\u2019s happening in someone\u2019s body \u2013 and their head \u2013 in real time.\u201d<\/p>\n That attention doesn\u2019t stop when the session ends. \u201cI\u2019m in contact with my clients 24\/7\u2026 helping them navigate travel, social events, demanding schedules.\u201d She believes that results are built in the margins \u2013 the meals between meetings, the workouts squeezed into long-haul schedules.<\/p>\n And while red carpet transformations may grab headlines, her proudest achievements are less visible: long-term health shifts, including supporting a client into remission from type 2 diabetes.<\/p>\n Schofield\u2019s hot take is refreshingly straightforward. \u201cLosing body fat is not rocket science. The \u2018magic\u2019 is not about novelty. It\u2019s about execution and consistency.\u201d<\/p>\n Tom Brown<\/strong><\/p>\n\n <\/p><\/a>\n A post shared by Tom Brown (@tombrownfitness)<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\nBest personal trainers around the world<\/h2>\n
