For more than a decade, Victoria Beckham has praised world-renowned “trainer to the stars” Tracy Anderson for her thin figure.
But The Mail on Sunday can reveal that she’s traded the fitness guru for beefy British judo champion from London’s East End, Bobby Rich, who visits her home every day to put her to the test.
Ms. Beckham has also stopped her daily 6km runs in favor of lifting free weights and resistance training – the kind of exercise she used to avoid for fear of becoming too muscular.
Every weekday morning, Mr Rich arrives at the Beckhams’ £25 million mansion in Holland Park, west London, and puts the former Spice Girl through a grueling workout at their state-of-the-art gym.
Sometimes husband David joins in when he is not working on board.

Bobby Rich said that even when Ms. Beckham is abroad, they still train online
Mr. Rich focuses on joint health, which is especially important now that Mrs. Beckham is in her late forties.
Last week, a day before she turned 49, Ms. Beckham posted photos of her impressive physique as she trained her triceps on a bench. She has also recently shown herself lifting heavy weights.
Mr Rich said of Ms Beckham’s regimen: ‘She’s with me at the gym five days a week – and even when she’s travelling, there are no excuses as we move to online sessions. She puts down work.
“I treat the year like a season and go through different blocks of training, identifying peaks and recovery phases to get the most out of the incredible effort Victoria puts in every session, mentally and physically.”
He added that the workout involves using her own body weight, resistance bands and ankle weights.

A friend of Mrs Beckham’s said: ‘In addition to her gym work, Victoria eats impeccably.
“She takes such good care of herself and that’s important to her, especially now that she’s approaching fifty. She enjoys working with Bobby and sometimes with David.”
The 42-year-old Rich previously trained director Guy Ritchie, boxer David Haye and singer Ellie Goulding.
American reality star Kim Kardashian has also recently taken up strength training, following a shift in women’s fitness trends towards building strength.
