Bollywood celebrities are admired for their well-toned bodies and disciplined fitness regimens, but maintaining such a lifestyle comes at a hefty price.
In a recent interview with Lallantop Cinema, celebrity fitness coach Yogesh Bhateja, who has trained stars like Sonu Sood, Tamannaah Bhatia, and Kangana Ranaut, revealed how much Bollywood A-listers spend monthly on fitness and addressed concerns about the use of weight loss drugs and steroids in the industry.
When asked about the monthly expenditure of Bollywood stars on fitness, Bhateja revealed that costs vary but typically range between $2,400 and $6,000 per month. “There is no limit. It can be anywhere between $2,400 and $6,000 per month, including their diet,” he said, highlighting the extravagant investments celebrities make in personal trainers, nutritionists, and gym memberships.
Diet plays a crucial role in fitness routines, and many celebrities consume superfoods like blueberries, avocados, and organic proteins, which further add to the overall cost. Bhateja explained that while these foods are beneficial, they are not essential for the average person. He suggested affordable substitutes such as pomegranates and eggs, which offer similar nutritional value.
Apart from specialized diets, celebrity trainers charge hefty fees. Bhateja estimated that an average celebrity fitness trainer earns around $36-$60 per session, depending on their experience, client base, and training methods.
High-end fitness studios and gyms, known for their state-of-the-art equipment, privacy, and luxury services, also contribute to the overall cost. Many Bollywood stars opt for one-on-one training sessions, customized workout programs, and even at-home gym setups to maintain their routine despite hectic schedules.

With increasing pressure to maintain a certain physique, some celebrities turn to extreme methods for rapid transformations. Bhateja addressed the use of Ozempic for weight loss and the role of steroids in bodybuilding, warning against their harmful effects.
“Losing a lot of weight or building muscle within weeks is not possible naturally. So, if a celebrity and their trainer are using external help, they know the consequences, and there will be ill effects on their health,” he cautioned.
While Bollywood celebrities invest thousands of dollars each month in fitness, Bhateja reassured that staying fit does not require excessive spending for the average person. Instead, he emphasized consistent workouts, balanced diets, and smart nutrition choices as the key to long-term fitness success.
