LOS ANGELES (AP) - A celebrity trainer known for getting the Kardashian clan into shape is going to work for the Los Angeles Lakers.
Gunnar Peterson is the Lakers’ new director of strength and endurance training, the team announced Wednesday.
Peterson has been a favorite trainer among entertainers and athletes for many years while running a well-regarded private gym in Beverly Hills. His client list has included Sylvester Stallone, Halle Berry, Ben Affleck, Jennifer Lopez, Sofia Vergara and Pete Sampras, along with most of the Kardashian family.
Peterson will develop a strength and conditioning program for the Lakers, general manager Rob Pelinka says.
The 16-time NBA champion franchise has replaced several key members of its internal staff since Magic Johnson and Pelinka assumed control of basketball operations earlier this year.
