Deadpool & Wolverine is shaping up to be one of the hottest movies of the year, and one of its actors has a connection to Peloton.
Actress Jennifer Garner played the role of Elektra in the film, and recently shared the intense workout regimen she adopted to prepare for the role – crediting the Peloton platform and instructor Becs Gentry as one of her workout coaches.
Garner posted to Instagram with the caption:
I remember the moment @slevydirect and @vancityreynolds had the idea for Elektra Natchios to show up in @deadpoolmovie 3— we were on the set of The Adam Project and they gave each other this look they have that can communicate an idea, 20 pages of dialogue, nuclear codes— there is a crazy artistic kismet between those two.
Other than trying to convince my kids’ preschool buddies that I was secretly a ninja, I hadn’t picked up Elektra’s sais since 2004; I was fit, but not @marvel fit. 🥷🏻👵🏼
She then went on to thank some people who helped her – including a shoutout to Peloton’s Becs Gentry.
As this impossible dream became reality, my bestie and OG stunt double @shaunaduggins and I amped up our training, led by @bethjnicely at @thelimitfit: 1x/day, plus whatever homework she assigned for a second workout. Boxing 3x/ week with @flvcothefuture from @matchroomxchurchillgym. And lots and lots of @onepeloton’s @becsgentry. 💃🏻🏋🏻♀️🥊🏃🏻♀️🏊🏻♀️ We had #SuperHeroSummer over here, twirling sais in the backyard and laughing at our sore old bodies.
The post included a video montage of Garner’s workout regimen, which included HIIT cardio, strength, swimming, running, boxing, rowing, and more. Both a Peloton Tread+ and a Peloton Bike are visible in what is presumably Garner’s home gym.
The caption indicates that Garner took classes with Becs – potentially on the Tread, Row, strength, and outdoor content – as part of her training for the role of Elektra. It doesn’t seem like Becs provided personal training, but rather, Garner took the classes live & on-demand just like any other Peloton member would.
Not only is Garner a Peloton member; Chelsea Jackson Roberts is her yoga instructor, and the two have previously participated in Instagram Live events together.
Hugh Jackman, who plays Wolverine in the Marvel movies, has also shared in the past he was a Peloton member. In 2018, when sharing his Peloton PR on social media, he accidentally shared his leaderboard name as well in a post he made.
