Gemma Collins has been working hard – and now she’s finally happy with her body
She’s working hard and staying motivated
‘She’s at last able to think of something other than Arg’
Working out in the grounds of her Essex palace, Gemma Collins has gone full-on fitness influencer in the last few weeks. The GC has been showing fans “the realities of getting a gorgeous feeling about yourself” by sharing her current intense workout regime. She even showed off her impressive weight loss, lifting up her top and telling her followers, “A few weeks ago, I would not have been pulling up my top”.
A source close to the 40 year old tells heat she has never been happier after going through a rough time recently when her beloved dad was hospitalised with COVID, as well as ongoing issues with on/off boyfriend James “Arg” Argent, 33. “Gemma is feeling in such a great place with her diet and fitness routine right now, and is pushing herself even harder to finally get the body she wants,” we’re told. “After getting really down in lockdown with her father’s ill health and her relationship with Arg being so difficult, it helped that she was finally able to take control of something. She’s done loads of different diets and fitness regimes over the years, but the difference this time around is that Gem really has been putting the grind into her workouts and not making any excuses. She’ll start workouts at 6am and do different types of circuit training, which she will repeat up to six times a day – and she’s being very strict about sticking to a healthy diet.”
Gemma – who’s lost around 3st – is now helping to motivate her fans into starting their own fitness journeys. She recently shared on Instagram, “STAY FOCUSED! And don’t let ANYTHING STOP YOU! Today I cut off 20 mins of time in my training. When I first started, I never thought I would be cutting my routine and speeding it up by twenty mins! Feeling good.”
However, our source reveals that some of her friends are concerned she’s going “too fast and too hard”, but the GC is just shrugging it off.
We’re told. “Gem has said she is finally getting the body she wants and is well on her way to her goal of losing another 3st. She says she’s not done yet and wants her bikini body back from her early 20s in time for the summer, giving her a few more months to achieve it all.”
And it seems the reality star is particularly enjoying how much of a distraction the exercise is providing. “Since seeing her results after throwing herself into her routine, Gem has said she’s at last been able to think of something other than Arg,” our source says. “There’s so much she gets upset about not having in her life – the perfect man, her own family, the perfect body – but now she feels she’s actually doing something about it.” n
