How Kevin Hart stays ripped at 46: tips from his personal trainer

At 4:30 a.m. youll find Kevin Hart in the gym. While best known as a comedian and actor, he trains like a serious athlete: six days a week, about an hour and a half a day. He began the work more than a decade ago with a goal to land fitness covers, and with trainer Ron "Boss" Everline he made the cover of Men's Health in 2015, again in 2020, and appeared in plenty of other magazines.

Everlines approach emphasizes full-body work for speed and power — squats, cleans, presses, lunges — with a weekly split that hits legs on Monday, chest on Wednesday, shoulders and back on Thursday, and full-body sessions on Friday and Saturday, plus an active recovery day.

The focus has shifted from maximal loading to mobility, stretching, and quality reps; as Everline puts it, "Muscle is a foundational principle" and "Lifting super heavy, it's not necessary for growth. It's really time under tension." Warming up now plays a larger role than it did in their twenties.
