In her nearly 14 years in the fitness industry, celebrity trainer Kirsty Godso<\/a> has worked with a wide range of clients \u2013 most recently Hailey Bieber, Olivia Rodrigo, Kaia Gerber and Charli XCX, to name a few.<\/p>\n

Over that time, she\u2019s also watched the fitness industry shift and evolve, becoming increasingly shaped by data, rising intensity and social media chatter. But amid all the noise, Godso has maintained a very different mindset when it comes to training.<\/p>\n

\u2018To me, a quieter, more intuitive approach is really at the heart of how I train my clients and myself,\u2019 she tells Women\u2019s Health. \u2018In an industry that always has a new training trend and a lot of outside noise, I always focus on putting the personal in personal training. It\u2019s about focusing on the specific needs of each client and not getting distracted by the latest and greatest things that the algorithm is serving you.\u2019<\/p>\n

In fact, the concept of intuitive training is at the heart of her recent Set the Pace<\/a> campaign with Vuori<\/a>, an activewear brand she collaborates with. The campaign centres on the idea that movement is something to feel rather than something to prove.<\/p>\n

These days, the 37-year-old trainer also listens to her body far more than she did in her 20s, paying attention to what feels good and what doesn\u2019t.<\/p>\n

\u2018For me, strength training<\/a> is authentic to me. It\u2019s what feels nurturing, fun, challenging and supportive to my body,\u2019 she says, adding that she always asks her clients what kind of movement they enjoy and makes sure it\u2019s built into their weekly routines.<\/p>\n

\u2018You likely won\u2019t love every workout in your schedule if you\u2019re following a proper training plan, but having those workouts that feel really in line with your needs and authenticity will get you through the hard stuff, too.\u2019<\/p>\n

While her training approach may be intuitive, it\u2019s also highly functional<\/a> \u2013 with a focus on stability, mobility and overall strength.<\/p>\n

Here, Godso shares five go-to strength exercises that all of her celebrity clients do \u2013 and love.<\/p>\n

5 full-body strength moves Kirsty Godso swears by1. Hip thrusts<\/p>\n

(Demonstrated in the second video clip above)<\/p>\n

\u2018I absolutely love hip thrusts<\/a> in many versions. They\u2019re an amazing exercise when done properly and are an essential glute strength movement.<\/p>\n

\u2018I use a lot of different variations such as barbell hip thrusts, single-leg hip thrusts, single-leg elevated hip thrusts, dual-leg elevated hip thrusts. It\u2019s a movement I coach and personally do multiple times a week so I like to mix up the variations to keep hitting the glutes a little differently.\u2019<\/p>\n
