From Bleacher Report, 2015

Peterson is arguably the most renowned personal trainer in L.A. In addition to working with hundreds of different athletes (including Carmelo Anthony, Roy Hibbert, Kevin Love, Rajon Rondo and John Wall), he consults with A-list celebrities and actors to prepare them for movie roles.

He wakes up every weekday morning at 3:45 a.m. to begin his workouts before his first client arrives at around 6 a.m. His first NBA player was Kurt Rambis in 1994, and since then he's added Lakers, Clippers and dozens of other All-Star-signed framed jerseys from his clients all around his gym walls, even on the ceiling. His specialization is basketball-specific exercises that mimic movements on the court.

Hibbert started working with Peterson during this year's All-Star Weekend, and he was so impressed that he bought a house just two blocks from the trainer's gym entering the summer before he was traded to the Lakers.

"He was my first NBA guy in this summer, and he never missed a workout," Peterson said. "He dropped a ton of body fat, he got stronger, his movement improved—his head is right."


Another Showtime connection. Do we go forward by going backwards? I hope so.


so all you got from the post is showtime connection and nothing else?

SMH


Did I say that? Use a little common sense for once.


Would be nice if you could do the same for 100% of ur posts

I know it's hard but try it

I think that is what the medical staff is there for. And it will be the UCLA medical people.


I think you're right. Like I said, they better not screw up ala 2004 with Malone.

That was a screw up. No way around it.

If Kevin Love is any example of his work... we're in good shape (hehe) there is a good side by side on his Instagram which I will post below but it sure shows a lot of K Love skin... don't say I didn't warn you.

Didn't look at the image, but if he was involved with Love getting into the best shape of life on the Cavs, then that's a great sign.


Looks like very much a legit NBA trainer. Says something about our quick take/celeb obsessed society that the first wave of reporting was all about the celeb clients.

I agree, medical practices have advanced so much since then and with their new facility, it seems the Lakers aren't afraid to spend money for the best.

seems questionable on the surface....there is a difference between being a personal trainer and team strength and conditioning guy....they when you consider the amount of anabolics that clients like Stallone uses while being his trainer....just does not feel right.

    Kevin Durant
    Carmelo Anthony
    Roy Hibbert
    Rajon Rondo
    John Wall
    Kurt Rambis

at first I was trying to figure why your response was so rude....then I read though your handful of posts on LG and realized it really does not matter.

His Wikipedia says 9.5%, someone should edit that before Magic sees it.
