Hailey Bieber gave a rare look at what she has been doing in the gym after welcoming Jack Blues Bieber in 2024, posting a July 17 Instagram Stories clip of herself lifting heavy weights in workout gear and a waist trainer. In a second image, she showed her defined abs in a matching black sports bra and full-length pants.
The post lands now because Bieber, 29, has been talking more openly about how her fitness routine changed after becoming a mother. She had already said on April 30 that Pilates felt a little over, and the new video makes clear that her focus has shifted toward heavier lifting and recovery work rather than the softer, reform-style training many people once associated with her.
Bieber has not described a formal schedule for the routine, but she did make the pattern plain: since having her son, it has been a lot of weights. She also said she still relies on lymphatic drainage massages, calling them underrated and saying she is obsessed with anything related to them. That matters because the technique is meant to help drain excess fluid and reduce swelling, which fits the way postpartum recovery often gets discussed in public, especially when the person speaking is someone as closely watched as Bieber.
What makes the shift more interesting is that she is not dismissing Pilates entirely. She said she loves it and still does, but added that it has become a bit of a fad and that it can be hard to find teachers who care about form. In other words, the problem is not the exercise itself. It is the way it is taught, sold and turned into a lifestyle shorthand. That is a more pointed criticism than a simple workout preference, and it helps explain why she now sounds more convinced by strength training than by the studio version of Pilates that made her such an obvious fit for the trend.
She also spoke like someone who has settled into a practical routine rather than a polished fitness brand. She called herself a coffee girl, joked that a matcha from Japan can spoil everything else, and kept returning to the same recovery tools she says she trusts. The unanswered question is not whether Bieber has changed her workouts; the July 17 post shows that she has. It is how long she plans to keep building this heavier, postpartum routine in public, and whether the next glimpse will look any different.
