Katrina Kaif training at the gym
Fitness trainer Shailendra Singh tells mid-day of his clientele, "I train Shahid [Kapoor], Sidharth [Malhotra] and Aditya [Roy Kapur]. While Shahid loves weight training and mobility work, Sidharth and Aditya are fans of functional routines and agility drills. Since Aditya is a football player, he needs to be light, agile and fast. So, we work on his routine accordingly."
Bipasha Basu training at the gym
The trio is often spotted at the gym poking fun, or admiring, albeit playfully, co-member Ranveer Singh's big biceps. The Padmaavat actor hits the gym with his long-time trainer Lloyd Stevens.

Apart from Bipasha Basu and Karan Singh Grover, and fitness buffs Tiger Shroff and Disha Patani, Singh says Reset is also frequented by newbies Janhvi Kapoor and Ishaan Khatter, who often train together.
"Everyone comes separately, but they are usually seen here between 1 pm and 5 pm." The celebrity hub has also seen Katrina Kaif, Fatima Sana Shaikh, Mandana Karimi and Nidhhi Agerwal.
Activating beast mode!
Finding support from the likes of Hrithik Roshan, Mustafa Ahmed trains his clients at a venue located in the heart of Bandra. Akro has seen the Roshan family — including the actor's mother Pinky, and composer-uncle Rajesh Roshan's daughter Pashmina — work on upping their fitness levels.
