Drew Barrymore Reveals Her Secret Weapon Behind Her 9kg Weight Loss

Her before and after photo is amazing! - by Chelsea Tromans
  • 19 Feb 2020

Drew Barrymore has to work hard to stay in shape. "Everyone is different, and I have the genetic makeup of the Pillsbury Doughboy," she jokingly told Women’s Health last year.

"I have to fight so hard to be in shape or be in a smaller size or lower weight, and people don't talk about the fact that when you have kids, everything goes out but it doesn't always come back in. You never get your 'old' body back, you're working with a new body."

Well, it looks like Drew has found a formula that works for her "new body" because she has shed 9kg and looks amazing. 

And we now know what (or should we say, who) her secret weapon is. Her personal trainer, Marnie Alton.

Drew shared a heartfelt shout out to her friend and trainer on Instagram. “This woman is my long time teacher and dear important friend. She has helped me. Healed me. Encouraged me to keep going when I felt like being strong was an insurmountable task.”

#WELLNESSWEEK @marniealton @mbodybymarniealton This woman is my long time teacher and dear important friend. She has helped me. Healed me. Encouraged me to keep going when I felt like being strong was an insurmountable task. We have known each other for about 15 years and when I told her I wanted to transform my body for #SANTACLARITADIET she helped me. Every spring, when I would start training to become #SHEILAHAMMOND Marnie was the one who got me there. I lost 20 pounds and trained like a mother. She also is the most amazing person. She is poetry in a human being. The best heart. Her priorities are in the right place. She is humorous and so so so knowledgeable about our bodies. I love her. Inside and out. Her classes are always booked up and we all love to run to her for her spirit and leadership for all things healthy. We hope the people in the wellness world are actually healthy in their hearts and minds. It's not all about being terminators! It's about how to find yourself. How to be your best self. But we need guidance and we hope our teachers are smart and wise and sane! Marnie is one of the greats. Period. And if your looking for a life change or to find your consistent tribe, she is where I found mine.

Drew posted a series of photos and videos of herself working out with Alton, showing an impressive before and after photo of her dramatic weight loss.

“We have known each other for about 15 years and when I told her I wanted to transform my body for #SANTACLARITADIET she helped me. Every spring, when I would start training to become #SHEILAHAMMOND Marnie was the one who got me there.”

“I lost 20 pounds and trained like a mother,” Drew confessed.

The Instagram photos show that a lot of Drew’s workouts are done at home with Alton by her side, spurring her on. However, she also attends Marnie’s barre classes in her LA studio.

“Her classes are always booked up and we all love to run to her for her spirit and leadership for all things healthy,” shared Drew.

“Marnie is one of the greats. Period. And if your looking for a life change or to find your consistent tribe, she is where I found mine.”
