- Опубликовано: 27 май 2024
- If you want to learn exactly how Glen Powell built his incredible physique for Top Gun: Maverick, one man has all the answers.
When Glen needed to transform his body in just seven weeks for Tom Cruise's blockbuster Top Gun sequel, he came to see Nick Mitchell.
Nick is widely regarded as the world's leading personal trainer. He is the CEO and founder of Ultimate Performance - a global personal training business with a track record of 25,000+ jaw-dropping body transformations with everyday clients.
If anyone could get Glen in big-screen shape for the role of a lifetime in a matter of weeks, it was Nick and his Ultimate Performance team.
The mission was simple. Glen needed to get lean, look muscular and carve out show-stopping abs for a shirtless American football montage that pays homage to the iconic Volleyball scene in the 1986 original.
This edge-of-the-seat thriller is a blockbuster like no other that more than matches the exhilarating 1986 original - it needs to be watched on the big screen.
Glen didn't have months to get in shape. He didn't have the luxury of training seven days a week. And he didn't have a legion of chefs prepping every meal.
Nick created a smart and targeted training program using the same principles we use with thousands of our time-pressed executive clients.
Here Nick shares the 'secrets' to Glen's training and diet that absolutely anyone can use to get in shape.
Achieving results like Glen Powell is possible when you have expert support in your corner.

I have never seen a more honest trainer for a Hollywood actor ever. I'd love to see more of this honesty in Hollywood.
He won't last long.
Very refreshing.
Yep. Fitness bodies in movies and on IG are unrealistic and for a specific moment in time.
Seriously though, this is a perfect example of an actor NOT taking steroids. Well done Glen 👏
Absolute class interview....not the same old script, we spent 4 hours a day in the gym ..lived on protein shakes, chicken and broccoli to put on an insane amount of muscle in a ridiculously short period of time all without steroids we are told.....the whole cast looked good and natural...what most of us strive for...Great performance from Glen in the movie..
Most honest and accurate breakdown of an actor’s training and nutrition that I’ve ever seen. So refreshing. Would love to see more transparency like this in Hollywood. A lot of people watch these movies and aspire to achieve similar body composition’s to the actor’s portrayed on screen. Interviews like this do a lot of good in setting realistic expectations and putting an end to the mass of misinformation and smoke and mirrors of the fitness industry.
He didn't talk about secret sauce so there's that but we are on good track here
One of the few celebrity trainers that actually speaks honestly and shows how passionate he is about this
4:26 I loved that he actually talked about this. That shot of him flexing was to specifically show off his physique, so they worked out the chest and traps and he learned how to flex them in such a way to really show the muscles and vascularity. It's not talked about enough but almost any movie that requires an actor to get in shape will have some big scene where the character shows off there body. And of course a tan, good lighting and 6k cameras help the overall look as well.
Trainers rarely get the credit they deserve for the work they put in for these actors to get in shape. This was incredible, insightful, and honest. Thank you
Love this… “we didn’t use a balanced program, we didn’t have a balanced goal.”
Finally a celebrity trainer that isn’t redundant and stereotypical. Intelligent info here
Glen looks very ripped in the beach football scene --- great job, Nick!
2:31
You can't create massive muscles in that amount of time
*Chris Hemsworth has entered the chat clutching his Tren*
Fantastically refreshing to see such a no b*llshit, transparent approach to hollywood training Nick!
Exactly
Exactly, most videos showing celebrities working out are pure bullshit. Finally something real, and also he looks natural , no steroids
This was really insightful. He put the work in and didn’t look cartoonish like he cheated with roids. I believe he was natural and worked for it.
even if you use roids you still need to work your ass off.
No chance.
Definitely natural his physique is not really that special
@@woodenfishes he put on a shit ton of muscle and vascularity in a short amount of time. Definitely not natural.
@@yellomate-tv2pc Nah. Dude has a good frame and was obviously in shape already. And he was like 29. Totally achievable without roids.
This was the most realistic conversation about training celebs for a movie.👍
He's so underrated. He deserves more.
It's admirable to hear him talk about perfecting what is, a relatively, small portion of the movie. Small, yet memorable. You remember the beach scene and you remember Glen looking athletic and cool as fuck. There's something to be said about mastering your craft to such a degree that you give everything for what could be considered a brief moment.
I think that's really the best part about this movie. You really get the sense that every detail of the movie was finely combed through and perfected. The editing, the camera work, the acting, the superb aerial shots. It's just a well made movie.
Good for Bagman, hope many of who worked with Tom learned something valuable for their future careers in the cinema
Bagman, HAHHAHHAHAHAHHAA.... indeed
LOL @ Bagman
I love hows hes like "ya we just practiced flexing in the mirror" like well, thats relateble so me and glenn are the same
As top gun does real damn stunts. The training is as well. One of the most honest videos I have ever seen. I love how the trainer breaks this down.
This is how a professional works. Systematic training.
Came here expecting “Chicken, broccoli, rice.” Leaving with respect for the trainer and Glenn. Well done!
I could listen to Nick talk for hours. Super inspiring and motivational!
Nick is the man. Such an efficient and honest trainer, one of the best celebrity trainers I’ve ever heard talk. He clearly took his time to answer each question and to give out good training information to us gym bros. Glen also killed it both in the gym and in the movie.
Glen Powell looked awesome(natural; not cartoonish) in Top Gun. Hope to see him in more movies, however, I hope he doesn’t get a role in Marvel/DC or any types of comic book based hero roles.
He deserves better. Marvel and DC are so corny
This was by far the best training interview I've ever heard. Smart, honest, no BS. Love this. Thank you for this.
This guy seems next level.
Glen has soo much natural charisma! Swoooon
This is one of the rare interviews that are satisfying!
Really honest and insightful video, fantastic. People saying “it was for one scene”. Did you watch the movie? He looked very defined and muscular in that naval uniform too.
He’s doing it out of passion for the original movie. I hope you have this passion for something that inspires work.
Imagine training this hard then only a minute of scene where they show them all shirtless
But it was still all worth it. I was drooling lol
barely a minute. each guy got couple of seconds of shots n most of it was covered with shadows lol
but yeah sides of My mouth went opposite of directions when that scene came up😅 I still watch that part up online. it cures my depression for some minute
I can't believe how candid this is. Thanks for posting!
Nick knows his stuff!
Learnt so much by just listening to this guy
Amazing to see a trainer that makes sense. Rather than “Yeah Ryan Reynolds put on 30lbs of muscle in 3 months 🙄” 😂
Love the speech nick! You’re so motivating in every word. Thx
Amazing transformation with Glen! Looking forward to seeing more of these transformations with Ultimate Performance.
What a great trainer. I like his style of thinking it through on what is best on each person; a deeper consideration on the art of creating a beautiful body that has been hidden from use and knowing how to develop/bring forth a person's body by a creator, like an artist, who understands muscles/nutrition that will matche the person. Great interview. Love his passion of his art.
Fantastic Nick...
I look forward to hearing more from this professional trainer he is dropping knowledge
Very admirable and honest insight. Holy hell, this trainer loves his profession and it shows. Subscribed immediately!
I remember first seeing him as the comic relief on Scream Queens. The guy definitely has charisma though, and a bright future ahead.
fantastic interview, very insightful
This guy knows what he is talking about.
Great video Nick
Amazing! Epic team
I had a stomach sleeve last year. I lost 80 pounds and started working out at the end of December with a 3 day total body workout and make sure Iget over 10000 steps daily. I eat a lot better and have a ton of protein. I can't believe how good I look now and have gotten pretty ripped. Before surgery, I always thought I was eating right when I worked out but I wasn't.
You can't out train a bad diet. I wish I had known years ago diet is 95% or it.
This was Phenomenal - Kudos Brother and Kudos to Nick Michell & To Glen Powell and as well Kudos to All of you involved !!! You All rock ! Stay Positive , Stay Productive ,Stay Safe Always
Excellent
Good to see such a honest open interview , great detail , fellow brit too 👍
Damn!!! All that training for one scene in a movie. Dedicated
Yup Nick! My uncles Gary and Sean work in one of your England gyms
Such fantastic work from Nick & Glen!
Hard work pays off!
Have a lot of respect for Glenn after seeing this but I HATED his character in the movie I thought it was too cliche from the original movie as the lone jock pilot. But he did his bit and hats off to him!
Fascinating..
Awesome trainer!
Amazing Nick and Team!!
Dude got ripped for literally one scene
and it wasn't even under good lighting😅 lots of shadows and golden hours
The next big leading man. The world better watch out.
Damn this guy knows his shit
Damn what a beast lol. Love this man
Wow this man was so truthful
This guy and Mark Twight are the most straight-forward no-BS Hollywood trainers
What a guy 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Waiting for Derek’s scientific dismantling of the supplements section of this video
Quite rich from a guy pimping Turk which has no supporting scientific research.
I like how they make the fighter pilots so damn ripped in the movie but they don’t even look like they could fight 1 on 1 with the enemy face to face.
Love you
Very insightful and informative type of breakdown video and that's rare, probably the first too. 16:25 - 16:33 Just wondering why Glen Powell can't have whey protein?
He doesnt eat dairy
Good for him! Cows milk is horrible
@@MsTriangle disagree.
@@bhillis99 well you always can disagree with science if you want to portray a certain image...
@@MsTriangle omg here comes the vegan terrorist...
7 weeks prep for a volleyball scene lol!
Football, but yeah, essentially
@@naughtysauce4323 Ah it's football is it? I havent watched it yet and had assumed it was another volleyball scene
@@johnnyhung944 Sorry if that was a spoiler. But yea, American style football with a bunch of shirtless dudes lol.
This guy should play as BJ Blazkowicz in live action Wolfenstein.
He needs to be Wolverine
OK but what exercises Did he do and what food did he Eat?
They have a couple of books on diet and program design but it’s the intensity of the PTs and the work ethic that is the magic.
You can read more here: ultimateperformance.com/glen-powell-personal-training/
I had to update the video to 1.25 speed to have him talk normally lol
Let's get Glen Powell for Oliver Queen.
Nah. Hal Jordan
@@jasonflute3470 I dig that.
I hope that he achieved that goal natural...!
I am not mistaken that Glen is natty becoz of this interview
I wouldn’t want to have my personal trainer slap me like that! No way!
yeah looked a lil homoerotic.. lol
He Bascially said your not gonna look like Thor unless your on roids
Tren hard, eat clen, anavar give up!
“Slap me.”
All of this training for what was a 3 minute shirtless football montage
In Hollywood you have an image to sell.
With the original film all the guys were super lean and cut for that volleyball scene, it’s an iconic moment in pop culture and 80s nostalgia so these new actors had some big shoes to film.
@@ericsimon4517 Not criticizing it, just had to point it out. But yeah, standards these days require more mass.
@@naughtysauce4323 I get what you're saying though. Nick Cage said it best in one of his interviews regarding his abs in Ghost Rider, "I'll never work that hard again b/c no one even believed it was real" LOL
@@ericsimon4517 I think they crushed it. Never saw the first one but that scene to me gave off a beauty/badass moment. Like "this is the peak of humanity flying these planes" even tho it was just a movie
And that exercise & diet probably chiseled his face as well! So it was worth it
It’s about PED’s Creatine and makeup
All talk and no actual footage of the exercises, cmon man!
Hi Richard, we have a whole video full of footage here: ruclips.net/video/spCDfMvYl0k/видео.html
@@UltimatePerformance Thanks, thats very gracious
they trained? i thought they did 200 pushups every day after getting their asses handed over to them by tom.....ws that just in the movie?
I love Tom, but at 56, he was probably on trt and or hgh. As well as cool sculpting.
Eat clen, Tren hard, anavar give up
To summarize this clip. 👆
Hmmm estro support? 😂😂 to make him look more sharp yeah right
HgH . . . ??? I am sure these actors pumping that crap in their systems!
You know the human body produces HGH naturally right
The top stars have the money and time to safely deal with that stuff. This dude doesn''t. And he didn't look ridiculous like Hugh Jackman or Chris Evans. I'd bet money it was all natural.
i HATE that they don't focus on legs just because of the money shot muscles....at the end of the day when they're not shooting, they look really weird. Stop skipping leg days bruh. Think at least in terms for the costume department. Stronger and fuller legs will fill out pants and jeans a lot better!!!
Since when did fighter pilots have ripped physiques?
Is Hollywood well I never met a fight I suggest the regular Joe have flat stomach slightly build that's it, yea your comment made laugh
They do huge amounts of pull ups and stuff
It's the military bro...
Top Gun Hollywood fighter pilots do
Since it’s a movie
so why did all the pilots have to look ripped? since when does pilots look like that? it's solely bcuz of that one volleyball scene and God bless my eyes for it, I ain't complaining it makes my depression a bit better lol but let's be real tho.
and yea they do get benefits to build their bodies, PT's, meal preps by pro's, dietitian etc the studio is literally paying them to look a certain way! so stop the bullshit..
It's not just because of the volleyball scene it's because soldiers and pilots and marines are known for roiding so that's why there so big
"...the studio is literally paying them to look a certain way!" You answered your first question. The studios simply have an image to sell.
It’s a movie.
@@TJSmith-jb4og the first one wasn't really a question. It was a rhetorical one...
This was the most realistic conversation about training celebs for a movie.👍
