“They needed to look like warriors, because they were fighting men most of the time,” Mclain tells SMag in an exclusive Zoom interview before her first client of the day in Los Angeles.“In real life, diet is normally 80% while training is 20%, but for this it was 100% diet and 100% training. We only had three months to prepare for the film, which is a very short time to get someone in good shape, so DNA played a major role. There was no one diet that could fit all,” she says.

Mclain has 20 years’ experience in the fitness industry and hails from the Czech Republic. She started out at as a dancer until she had a hip injury and was forced to retire.“Growing up I did track, field, and long-distance running. I loved to move — stopping wasn’t an option,” she says. “I decided to become a personal trainer and certified enough to be able to fix my injury. I love shifting people’s lives towards a healthier lifestyle, the way I did mine.

After she added Mbedu to her camp in Los Angeles, in a ripple effect the rest of the main cast — Lashana Lynch, Sheila Atim, and Adrienne Warren — also joined. “I am very visual, so I wanted them to imagine they were fighting someone while carrying the weights.”

If you need a gardner, handyman or cleaner, please consider me 🙏. You can even use me as a servant boy doing any odd jobs 🙏. Just as long as I feed my family. My children have been sleeping hungry for almost a week now and I feel helpless as a father💔 Has Metrorail not paid their electricity bill yet? Is Razzmatazz hiding behind not paying, or is he MIA?
