What We’ve Learnt From Jennifer Aniston’s At-Home Pvolve Workout

Jennifer Aniston is no stranger to an on-trend wellness routine. In fact, if you've followed her journey as closely as we have, you'll know that she has dabbled with 16:8 intermittent fasting, pilates and her infamous 15-15-15 method (a 15-minute spin, elliptical exercises and finally a run). Her latest fitness obsession - Pvolve.

Two years ago, Jen was, by her own admission, overdoing it. She was facing burn-out from a combination of a jam-packed shooting schedule, rigorous workouts, and a back injury. Enter functional fitness programme Pvolve. Jen was introduced to it by a friend. It's already a go-to for A-listers like Kate Bosworth and Venus Williams. Like many of us during the pandemic, in 2021 Jennifer began streaming the workouts at home, starting off as a Pvolve member.

Last year Jen wrote, 'I’m officially part of the @pvolve fam 🖤 SO proud to support our female founder and the beyond talented trainers. This is one of my favorite workouts…and I’m so grateful for the team and excited for what’s to come 💪🏼.'

Fast forward to today and she is still with the company, supporting founder Rachel Katzma. But what does the programme entail? We've got the lowdown below.

What Is Pvolve?

The Pvolve method sits at the intersection between low-impact exercise, functional fitness and resistance training. It's a science-first approach that mimics everyday movement and works with the body’s natural biomechanics to train muscles in a sustainable way.

How Does Pvolve Work?

The brand offers two methods, Signature and Total Transformation. The former takes a stripped back approach and includes three pieces of equipment that all help to lift, tone, and strengthen the entire body. The latter is the Jen A way and includes the brand's entire 13-piece gym set - it's the ultimate Pvolve experience, which also features holistic post-workout training, too.

Once equipment is in hand, Pvolve’s on-demand library and live virtual classes are available to stream at your disposal, putting you in touch with a roster of highly credentialed trainers that help to sculpt, strengthen, and restore your body.

Dani Coleman, the director of training and head trainer at Pvolve, who pt's Jennifer Anniston told Page Six in a interview, 'we focus really on that total 360 core strength, again, to keep your body upright and moving long term. [There are] some cardiovascular pushes in between and some light plyometric work.'

She added: 'The formats in our workouts are kind of a hybrid of all of our signature formats, between strength and sculpt, sculpt and burn and progressive weight training.'

The celebrity trainer explained, they also incorporate weight lifting to help build muscle mass and bone density, with a particular focus on promoting longevity in her body.

For most sessions, Aniston loves to reach for the P.band ($45) which is a resistance band that works the upper body and core.

Experts at Pvolve say, 'Because the method integrates all ranges of motion – side-to side, front-to-back, and rotational – it activates major and surrounding muscle groups to enhance the physique, while improving strength, mobility, and stability. As a Pvolve member, you’ll get access to 1000s of on-demand videos, curated series, and live virtual classes to cater your routine to your individual needs.'

Who Is Pvolve For?

If sustainable fitness, mobility, stability and the mind-muscle connection is everything you look for in a workout, Pvolve is for you. Created by a woman, it's also tailored to women thanks to a core understanding of women's physiology and a consciousness towards menstrual cycles, pelvic floor and pre/post-natal needs.

Recognising that our muscle mass naturally begins to decline in our 30s, the workout is based on functional resistance training to help enhance strength - key to improving health at every stage.

Even if you have the busiest of schedules like Jennifer's you can still make Pvolve work for you. Coleman said, 'Her time is so precious,' the fitness trainer said. 'She comes in, and we kind of get right to work. She sets her phone aside, and it’s really just about her in the moments we’re working together.'

The brand explains, 'Pvolve’s method is for everyone. Whether you’re new to working out or an athlete, if you’re in your 20s or your 60s, Pvolve’s functional fitness method is designed to work for you, building your body up without breaking it down.'

Is Pvolve Available In The UK?

While the brand is USA-based, it is also available in the UK, subject to duty and tax fees. However, the brand's website indicates that any orders over £135 will not incur any duty. Thanks to classes being primarily virtual, you can access the method from anywhere.
