The word “celebrity trainer” often conjures images of intense, intimidating workout sessions with a strict and unrelenting coach. But when it comes to Kirsty Godso, known for sculpting the bodies of Hollywood’s elite, the reality is quite different. Godso’s approach to fitness is empowering, energizing, and, most importantly, fun. And at the recent A Day in the Life at Vuori event, she gave attendees a taste of her unique workout style and shared the secret to achieving a strong and confident body. So, what’s the key to her success? According to Godso, it’s all about channeling your inner Lara Croft.
At the Vuori event, held in partnership with Nordstrom, Godso led a high-intensity, full-body workout inspired by Lara Croft, the iconic archaeologist and adventurer from the Tomb Raider franchise. And for Godso, the connection between fitness and Croft’s character is clear. “I think we all have a little bit of Lara Croft in us,” she said in an interview with ET. “We all have that inner strength and determination to push through challenges and achieve our goals.”
But how exactly do you channel your inner Croft in your workout style? Godso has some valuable tips. “For me, it’s about embracing your strength and power as a woman,” she explained. “Lara Croft is a fierce, independent, and confident woman, and that’s exactly how I want my clients to feel during their workouts.”
One way to embody Croft’s spirit is through your choice of workout clothes. Godso, who is also a Nike Master Trainer, believes that what you wear can have a significant impact on your workout. “I want my clients to feel strong and fearless, and that starts with what they put on their bodies,” she said. “For me, it’s all about high-performance and functional activewear that makes you feel confident and ready to conquer any challenge.”
At the Vuori event, Godso sported pieces from Vuori’s latest collection, which she describes as “perfect for a modern-day Lara Croft.” The brand is known for its versatile and stylish activewear, designed to inspire people to move, sweat, and feel their best. “I love that Vuori’s clothes are not just for the gym, but they can also be worn for everyday activities,” Godso shared. “It’s all about feeling comfortable and confident, whether you’re working out or running errands.”
Besides the right clothes, Godso also emphasizes the importance of a well-rounded workout routine. “It’s not just about aesthetics; it’s about feeling strong and capable in your body,” she said. “That’s why I incorporate functional movements and a mix of cardio and strength training in my workouts. It’s about building a strong and powerful body from the inside out.”
And for those who struggle to find the motivation to work out, Godso has some practical advice. “Don’t think of it as just exercise; think of it as taking care of yourself,” she said. “Your body is your temple, and you should treat it with love and respect. Find a workout that you enjoy and that makes you feel good, and stick with it.”
As for Godso’s own fitness routine, she believes in a balance of discipline and indulgence. “I follow an 80/20 rule,” she revealed. “80% of the time, I eat clean and train hard, but the other 20% of the time, I allow myself to indulge in my favorite treats. It’s all about balance.”
But most importantly, Godso stresses the significance of having a positive mindset when it comes to fitness. “Your mindset is everything,” she said. “Believe in yourself and your abilities, and don’t let anyone tell you that you can’t achieve your goals. With determination and hard work, anything is possible.”
As the event came to a close, Godso thanked the attendees for joining her in channeling their inner Lara Croft through the workout. “You all crushed it, and I hope you leave feeling empowered and strong,” she said. And for those who missed the event, Godso’s message is clear: it’s time to unleash your inner Lara Croft and conquer your fitness goals with confidence and strength.
