Kevin Hart's Six-Day Barbell Routine
Kevin Hart works out six days a week for 90 minutes per session, focusing on barbell movements to maximize muscle gain and maintain strength at age 46. His trainer Ross Everline shared that Hart's motivation is to stay cover-ready for Men's Health and remain fit well into his later years.
- Hart's trainer, Ron "Boss" Everline, is a former NFL prospect who emphasizes a "Just Train" philosophy, focusing on consistency, mental toughness, and discipline. Their workouts often become competitive to keep the sessions engaging at a high level. - His weekly training schedule consists of lower body on Monday, chest on Wednesday, and back on Thursday, followed by two full-body days on Friday and Saturday, with Sunday reserved for active recovery. In addition to barbell work, the routine incorporates high-intensity interval training (HIIT) and sprint work, with Everline and Hart doing repeated 100-200 meter sprints on the track. - In September 2019, Hart suffered three spinal fractures in a serious car accident that required surgery to fuse his vertebrae. Doctors credited his high level of physical fitness prior to the crash with helping him avoid permanent paralysis, and he returned to working out just over two months later after intensive physical therapy. - He is the co-founder of the nutritional wellness company VitaHustle and serves as the Creative Director for the at-home rowing machine brand Hydrow. Hart's home gym also includes a Peloton bike. - In early 2026, Hart became an equity partner, executive partner for brand growth, and franchisee of the fitness company Burn Boot Camp, with plans to open his own location in California. - While his diet is generally structured around lean proteins like baked chicken, brown rice, and vegetables, Hart has also invested heavily in plant-based options. He incorporates Beyond Meat into his diet and launched his own plant-based, fast-food restaurant called Hart House. - Hart's investment in fitness extends to community-based startups; his venture capital firm, HartBeat Ventures, was part of a $12 million funding round for Sweatpals, a social platform for finding and hosting fitness events.
