What Has Viola Davis' Trainer Said In The Past?

While we don't know the exact number the Widows actress has recently lost, we do know that she likely worked very hard to achieve it based on what her trainer previously said about working out with her.

Gabriela Mclain, who has been working with the Woman King actress for many years, previously praised her "dedication" and "consistency" on Instagram, writing: "She doesn't complain, she always pushes to the limits, she's extremely humble and disciplined. It's always such a treat to train Viola. She is a perfect example of how hard work pays off."

Mclain detailed some of the exercises the pair did together, and explained to PopSugar in 2020 that they love doing full-body exercises three days a week. "Mondays, we usually do a cardio kickboxing-style workout. Focusing on her punches and kicks. Wednesdays, we work on strength, heavy weights, medicine balls, lots of legs, upper body, and always core," she explained, adding that they also did resistance bands, ankle weights, and kicks to "build strong and fast legs" on Fridays.
