Victoria Beckham Joins Exclusive Gym To Beat Shrinking Geri Halliwell
Tuesday, 28 August 2007
Victoria Beckham has joined an exclusive celebrity gym in Los Angeles to whip her into shape for the Spice Girls tour later this year. Despite saying she never works out, Posh has become a member of LA's The Sports Club, and signed up to Candlelight Stretch classes accompanied by a live string quartet. Her ultimate plan is to tone up ahead of the Spice Girls' fierce 25-date world tour, and her fellow Spice Geri Halliwell.
The mother-of-three wants to be in better shape than the rest of the Spice Girls and has even hired a new demanding personal trainer. Victoria, 33, even tried to find out what type of workouts Geri Halliwell does with her personal trainer in London every day. A friend says:
The girls have always been deeply competitive, especially Vic and Geri. So when she heard Geri has been working out like mad to get back into shape Victoria marched herself into the nearest exclusive gym and signed herself up. She hates working out and would rather fill her day with playing with the kids or shopping but Vic realizes she has a bit of work to do before fitting into her skintight catsuits and her little black dresses again."
Posh admitted last week:
I really don't like the gym, in fact I can't stand it. Maybe it's the whole getting sweaty thing but it's just not me. I tried cycling in Spain but maybe my bum's too small as it just wasn't comfortable. I want to get fit, though, so I'm exploring some different options. I like what I've heard about Pilates, just sitting in a room, stretching and breathing. Sounds much more civilized."
Sources say Victoria is having a one-on-one session with her personal trainer before they create an intense workout schedule for her to follow so she can achieve her ideal toned body.
