Leighton Meester’s Personal trainer:
Justin Felahi is Meester’s personal trainer. There are of course a few things you might find weird. First, the two don’t go to the gym. Second, they don’t count the reps or sets of the exercises that they do. Third, since she is very busy shooting Gossip Girl, she doesn’t get much time to relax. So most of their sessions last around 5-10 minutes.
