The power couple, who frequently share snippets of their active lifestyles on social media, have revealed details of their workouts together, which includes “a bit of Bobby Brown” for added motivation.
A Beckham Bond Forged in Iron: The Power of Couple’s Workouts
In a recent interview with Men’s Health, David Beckham revealed that he and Victoria train together with Bobby Rich, a personal trainer and former Team GB judoka, five to six times a week. “I’ve been trying to get Victoria to work out with Bob for years, and she finally agreed,” Beckham stated. “We now do five days a week, sometimes six, together.”
The former Spice Girl, 50, and football star, 49, apparently “give each other grief” throughout their sessions, but Beckham credits Victoria’s workout ethic for keeping him motivated. “I stay motivated because my wife keeps me motivated,” he confessed.
From Cardio Queen to Weightlifting Warrior
It was in 2023 that Victoria embraced weightlifting, after realizing that her previous routines were no longer yielding significant results. Victoria was initially hesitant about weight training but has since embraced it. “I’ve always been a bit scared of weights, but it turns out I love them,” she told Grazia. “I’ve even got those special gloves to wear! It’s good to switch things up and keep your body guessing. I’ve got so much more muscle tone now.”
Now, Victoria and David engage in full-body strength training sessions with Bobby, incorporating compound exercises such as deadlifts, squats, and bench presses.
Inside the Beckham’s Fitness Routine
Victoria’s fitness journey has evolved over the years. She previously incorporated a mix of cardio and bodyweight exercises into her routine.
The Beckham’s Typical Workout
While specific details can vary, a typical Beckham workout might include:
- Warm-up: Often involves cardio, such as running on the treadmill or using the VersaClimber. Victoria typically starts each session with half an hour on the StairMaster or the VersaClimber.
- Strength Training: Full-body sessions incorporating compound exercises like deadlifts, squats, and bench presses. Weight training helps with building lean muscle, boosting metabolic health and increasing bone density.
- Core Work: Planks and other core-strengthening exercises are often included.
- Flexibility and Mobility: Yoga and stretching remain important for mobility training.
Before working out with Bobby Rich, Victoria would start each workout with a 45-minute run on the treadmill, followed by an hour of full-body muscular endurance exercises like barre. She also frequented SoulCycle classes and practiced Yoga.
Victoria Beckham’s Diet: Fact vs. Fiction
Victoria Beckham’s diet has been a topic of much discussion, with some claiming she has eaten the same meal for 25 years. While she admits to being disciplined, Victoria has clarified that her eating habits are more balanced than some reports suggest.
What Victoria Beckham Actually Eats
In an interview with Net-A-Porter, Victoria stated that she is flexible with food, especially when dining out with David. However, she also emphasized the importance of healthy eating for her skin and energy levels. Her diet includes:
- Fresh Fish: A staple in her diet.
- Fresh Vegetables and Salads: Emphasized for their nutritional benefits.
- Seeds and Nuts: Sources of healthy fats and nutrients.
- Healthy Fats: Fish, avocado, and nuts.
Victoria has mentioned avoiding dairy, oils, butter, and sauces. She also replaces wheat with cassava flour. While some reports suggest she eats grilled fish and steamed vegetables every day, Victoria has stated that her diet is more varied than that. She eats “lots of healthy fat: fish, avocado, nuts, that sort of thing,”
The Importance of a Balanced Lifestyle
Victoria emphasizes that her disciplined approach extends beyond diet and exercise. “I eat, the way that I work out and the way I work. That’s just who I am,” she stated. She also believes in moderation, stating that she simply intends to “have a nice time” and that she wouldn’t be going so far as to give up her favorite wine.

Adding a personal touch to their workouts, David revealed that their playlist can get “romantic.” “This morning, we were very romantic, we had a little bit of Bobby Brown. Quite a romantic workout this morning,” he shared. This playful glimpse into their shared fitness routine highlights the fun and connection they find in working out together.
