Lauren Sanchez’s fitness and diet secrets: How she’s staying strong and toned before marrying Jeff Bezos

At 55, Lauren Sanchez is living a remarkable chapter of her life — from flying to space to preparing for her wedding with Jeff Bezos, the world’s fourth-richest man. Despite her demanding schedule as a journalist, author, and philanthropist, Sanchez has prioritized health and fitness, maintaining a toned and youthful physique through disciplined workouts and mindful nutrition.

Lauren’s Workout Routine
Sanchez trains with celebrity fitness coach Wes Okerson, who also works with Bezos. Her fitness plan blends strength training and Pilates — a mix that targets full-body toning and flexibility.

She recently shared her “upper body pressing day” workout on Instagram, which includes:


Incline Dumbbell Press: 3 sets of 12 reps

Barbell Bench Press: 3 sets of 12 reps

Band-Assisted Dips on Parallette Bars: 12 reps

Push-Ups (not shown): 15 reps

45-minute Zone 1-2 Hike

In an interview with Self magazine, Sanchez said, “Pilates changed my body. I used to run marathons and I was never as fit and toned as I am now.” She credits trainer Saul Choza for her transformation, adding, “My a* has lifted.”* Her sessions alternate between mat and reformer Pilates.

Toned Arms at 55
One of Sanchez’s most talked-about features is her sculpted arms — firm, strong, and free from signs of aging. She frequently posts snippets of her gym sessions, including a 20-minute workout she squeezed in before school drop-off, proving that consistency matters more than duration.

Her arm-focused exercises include:

Dumbbell Press

Barbell Bench Press

Parallette Bar Dips

Cable Pull-Downs

She complements these with full-body movements like Nordic hamstring curls, step-up knee drives, thrusters, and bench step-overs to maintain overall strength and agility.

Inside Her Diet
Sanchez follows a clean, protein-rich diet. Her go-to breakfast includes egg whites, sliced avocado, and coffee, a combination that fuels energy, supports muscle recovery, and promotes heart health.
