Singer-songwriter Britney Spears recently called out a fitness trainer who told her to get into shape, to look like a younger version of herself. Spears said in an Instagram post that she spent looking for a trainer for two months. Upon finding the trainer, wrote Britney, she felt body shamed by her comments regarding her body. 

Britney Spears, 41, wrote in the Instagram post that on her first meeting, the female fitness trainer pinched her stomach and legs in order to point out her chubbiness. Spears added that the trainer also told her that she needed to get her ‘younger body back.’ The …Baby One More Time singer revealed that she cried afterwards, and didn’t hire the trainer. She further said that she achieved her ideal physique all by herself and worked out for 45 minutes, three times a week.
