Halle Berry has always been dedicated to health and fitness and, at age 59, she is looking better than ever.

Earlier this week, the actress shared a jaw-dropping bikini-clad snap of herself while on vacation celebrating her birthday back in August, captioning it: ‘This is 59.’

In the photo, which was shared to social media, Berry donned a metallic-gold bikini as she posed near the crystal-clear Bora Bora water, showing off her toned physique.

She paired her vacation look with a checkered black and white headscarf, a stack of necklaces, and aviator sunglasses.

Social media users were quick to celebrate her incredible physique and were agog at her youthful appearance.

‘I need your trainer to move in with me,’ declared one fan.

‘The fountain of youth is somewhere near you,’ another added.

‘Where can I sell my soul to look like this at 59,’ laughed someone else.

Another exclaimed: ’59 where?? She’s aging like she found the cheat code.’

The award-winning actress’ enviable body is a result of hard work and discipline – with the star following a sugarless diet and training most days of the week.

Below, FEMAIL takes a look at the Oscar-winner’s grueling exercise and diet regimes that keep her looking toned.

Halle Berry has embraced strength training

The actress focuses on a mix of strength training, boxing, and bodyweight exercises, revealing in March that she’s pulled back on the cardio to focus on lifting weights.

‘I used to do a lot of cardio,’ she told author and menopause advocate Tamsen Fadal.

The X-Men star explained that she is now focusing on building muscle mass as she enters menopause.

‘I never used to lift weights before,’ she revealed. ‘I only did my own body weight and cardio like cycling and running.’

Although the mom-of-two admitted she does find it ‘boring,’ she knows it’s what her body needs right now.

‘It’s necessary for this stage of life, really just heavier weights than I’ve ever lifted, and I do it probably two days a week at least,’ she shared in the interview.

The star has worked with her personal trainer since 2016

Berry has worked out with personal trainer Barry Lee Thomas for almost a decade – often sharing glimpses of her grueling workouts to social media.

In 2023, Halle shared a video of a ‘simple dumbbell workout’ to Instagram, which consists of six exercises that she completes across six to eight reps.

She started with frog squats and skipping with a jump rope to warm up, before moving into the fast – but furious – workout.

The workout consists of:

• Deep squat with weights, transitioning into a dumbbell press
• V-ups with a dumbbell overhead press
• Jumping jacks and a burpee
• Jump squat and a  dumbbell overhead press
• V tucks + dumbbell overhead press
• Jump squat + dumbbell front raise

According to Thomas, Berry’s dedication is a large part of what has kept her trim figure over the years.

‘She’s one of those special individuals who, even if she has one to two hours of sleep, she’ll get work done,’ he told Us Weekly in October 2018.

He added that no matter which exercise she does, her goal is always ‘make sure we get a really good sweat.’

Berry’s fitness goals have changed as she has aged

In 2020, Berry opened up about how her fitness regime has changed as she’s gotten older.

‘Back in my 20s (and 30s), though, I mostly worked out in order to look a certain way,’ she wrote in Women’s Health, adding: ‘I was young and appearance was a big part of my early acting career.’

Berry, who was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes in her 20s, said she began to see ‘fitness as a way to care for my health and my body’ after her diagnosis, rather than about body image.

She follows a sugar-free diet

In 2024, Berry opened up about following a sugarless diet.

‘Sugar is the enemy,’ she declared. ‘You couldn’t put anything sweet in front of me right now and pay me to eat it. I’m just not interested.’

The fitness guru also swears by a keto diet, particularly to help manage her diabetes.

‘I wanted to get off of insulin, so I decided to say goodbye to processed carbs and sugar like baked goods and white bread — and it has seriously paid off,’ she told Women’s Health in 2020.

‘For more than 15 years, eating this way has helped me manage my diabetes, but it’s also given me a ton of energy and helped me maintain my weight and stay in shape.’

The actress focuses on mental wellness

As well as keeping physically fit, Berry also understands the importance of being mentally healthy.

The Catwoman actress believes in meditation, which she has practiced for almost 20 years.

‘I’ve always found peace, healing, and solace in meditation — and that’s especially true (and important) right now when we’re amidst so much unrest and it’s so easy to operate out of fear to keep connected to her true self,’ she explained in an article published in Women’s Health.

She also undergoes acupuncture to help regulate her ‘out-of-whack hormones’ – which she thinks are due to perimenopause.
