Brendan Rodgers' former personal trainer has revealed the ex-Celtic manager's remarkable body transformation, sharing before and after photographs that show a noticeably leaner physique and defined abdominal muscles.
The fitness overhaul took place in 2023, during a three-month period of training that concluded in early December of that year. Rodgers, now 53, was in his second spell as Celtic manager at the time, having returned to Parkhead in the summer of 2023.
Trainer Praises Rodgers' Commitment
Personal trainer Matt Hall took to Instagram to share the images and praise the manager's dedication. Hall said: "I had the pleasure of coaching Brendan Rodgers as he approached his 50th birthday."
"Despite the demands of managing at the highest level of professional football, Brendan made his own health and fitness a priority," Hall added. "His mindset and discipline throughout the process were impressive and played a huge part in achieving his goal of reaching 50 in the best shape of his life."
Balancing Training with Management
Hall had previously shared details of their partnership in a post from 2023, revealing they worked together for three months leading up to early December. The sessions took place while Rodgers balanced his training with the pressures of managing Celtic.
The transformation came as Rodgers prepared to celebrate his 50th birthday. The before and after images show a striking difference, with Rodgers appearing considerably leaner in the later photograph, sporting a toned physique and clearly defined six-pack.
Rodgers' Career Moves
Rodgers has since left Celtic for a second time, departing the club in October 2025 before taking up his current role with Saudi Arabian side Al-Qadsiah in December.
