Performance coach Pierre Vuala helps his clients to improve their physical health and fitness. His B3 fitness app uses weight training, resistance training, and strength conditioning in line with his B3 training motto: to work (b)etter, look (b)etter, and feel (b)etter.
To look better, Vuala loves this Cuts shirt, which is the brand’s long sleeve version of their best-selling crew curve-hem T-shirt. It comes in five staple, and six seasonal, colors. It’s designed to be the only shirt you need — perfect for working out, date nights, and even everyday wear.
Trainer and pre- and postnatal specialist Hannah Bower helps her clients develop a sustainable, enjoyable, and practical relationship with fitness, so it’s no surprise that her entrepreneurial spirit led her to create Twenty2Nutrition.

Ron “Boss” Everline’s personal motto is “train your mind and your body will follow,” a mantra he uses to train his celebrity clients like Kevin Hart and his app followers alike.

World-class fitness coach Melissa Alcantara knows a thing or two about kicking off a new fitness journey. What started as a personal journey of losing 40 pounds in 60 days led to training for bodybuilding competitions and, ultimately, becoming Kim Kardashian West’s personal trainer.

Model, trainer, and nutrition coach Allegra Paris shares programs designed to sculpt and tone in her AP Fitness app. When her workouts leave her feeling sore, she swears by the Theragun, and also says it’s great to have on hand before or even during a workout.
All of my clients have bought one and it’s changed their lives just like it changed mine! Pre, post, and even during a workout, the Theragun uses percussive therapy to do what normal stretching can’t — it loosens up tight muscles, increases blood flow, and immediately relieves soreness. I’m obsessed; I even recommend it over professional massages," Paris says.
The Theragun PRO is ideal for muscle recovery, and is designed to reach 60% deeper into muscle than the average massager for better therapeutic results.

The self propelled mechanism in the Assault treadmill helps correct my form each time I run on it," Levesque says.

World-renowned health and wellness expert Magnus Lygdback trains some of Hollywood’s most elite stars, including Gal Gadot and James McAvoy, so it’s no wonder he enjoys a good cup of coffee to kick off his mornings.
I am loving my coffee machine from Son of a Barista! Not only is the quality fantastic (and I've tried it all), but [the company is] fair-trade and recyclable. They source their coffee from the best coffee growers around the world, and it definitely shows,” Lygdback says.
The starter kit includes an espresso machine, plus 150 pods of a mix of coffees and green tea. Plus, Son of a Barista offers drink tips for new customers to use as inspiration for better morning cups of joe.
