Adele's Former Personal Trainer Weighs In On Viral Debate Over Her Slim Figure!

Adele’s former personal trainer is speaking out about her weight loss journey a day after she broke the internet with her trimmed down figure.

As we reported, the Rolling in the Deep singer stunned her Instagram followers on Wednesday by sharing a pic of her skinny bod. Seeing as it was the first real glimpse we’ve seen of the star’s “100 pound” weight loss journey, many fans were taken aback — and some even shamed the 32-year-old for losing what they felt was too much weight! Not to mention the discussions it brought up about fatphobia and how many would feel seeing a woman get that kind of attention for her new figure.

Now, Pete Geracimo (above, insert), Adele‘s former London-based personal trainer, has weighed in on the subject.

In a heartfelt Instagram post, Pete defended the Grammy winner and slammed those who questioned “the genuineness of her amazing weight loss,” writing:

“It’s disheartening to read negative commentary and fat-phobic accusations questioning the genuineness of her amazing weight loss. In my personal experience of working with her through many highs and lows, she always marched to the beat of her own drum on her own terms. She never undermined her God-given talent by reducing herself to expose her flesh or be the over the top sexy vixen to sell albums. She let her voice do the talking, or should I say singing! She never once pretended to be something that she wasn’t. What you saw was what you got. And we all LOVED it!”

He went on to say that his fitness journey with Adele was “never about getting super skinny,” but rather “about getting her healthy.” Eventually, he said, the singer started to enjoy their training and organically (sorry) made better food choices, causing her to lose “considerable weight.”

He wrote:

“When Adele and I started our journey together, it was never about getting super skinny. It was about getting her healthy. Especially post pregnancy and post surgery. When 25 dropped and the tour announced, we had to get ready for a 13 month gruelling schedule. In that time, she warmed to training and made better food choices. As a result, she lost considerable weight and people took notice. Her body transformation was splashed across every media outlet. The attention it generated was mind-blowing.”

The trainer added that because of the changes in Adele’s personal life, like her split from ex-husband Simon Konecki in 2019, the starlet simply became more motivated to be the “best possible version” of herself, which led to a “metamorphosis” that Pete insists was for nobody other than Adele and her son Angelo.

(We just want to note here that we think Adele has always been the best version of herself, no matter the size, but we are all for her feeling her best at whatever healthy spot that might be! This is her life!!)

He shared:

“Since she moved to LA, it’s been well documented that she underwent some tough personal changes. It’s only natural that with change comes a new sense of self and wanting to be your best possible version. She embraced better eating habits and committed to her fitness and ‘is sweating’! I could not be prouder or happier for her! This metamorphosis is not for album sales, publicity or to be a role model. She is doing it for herself and for Angelo… My hope is that people appreciate the hard work that Adele has done to improve herself for the benefit to her and her family only. She did not lose the weight to make others feel bad about themselves. This personal transformation has nothing to do with me or you. It’s about Adele and how she wants to live her life. She has not changed from the Adele we grew up with and have loved. There is just a little less of her to go around. Just think, now that she is more fit and more fabulous, she might tour again! WIN-WIN!!!!”

Sounds like she really did work her butt off!
