Angel Reese isn’t just working out this offseason—she’s working the narrative. The Chicago Sky star, known for her electrifying rookie campaign, has been splitting her time between punishing workouts and keeping the Miami nightlife on notice. And let’s be honest, Reese seems to be excelling at both.
On Sunday, her trainer, the ever-hyped David Alexander, took to Instagram to showcase her offseason progress. His caption, “HER!,” sent a clear message: Reese is in beast mode. The video featured the Rookie of the Year runner-up grinding through workouts that would make your average gym bro cry into their protein shakes. Naturally, Reese chimed in with her own brand of humor, commenting, “Let’s do itttt” and following up with a crying emoji that screamed, this hurts, but make it worth it.
Alexander, no stranger to training A-listers, has worked with everyone from PGA Tour golfer Gary Woodland to Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins. So yeah, when he says “HER,” you listen.
But Reese isn’t all sweat and no sparkle. Just days before she was putting in work at the gym, she was spotted at a Miami club alongside none other than Cardi B. The duo lit up the night, proving Reese isn’t afraid to let loose even as she gears up for a pivotal second season. Remember, this is the same Angel Reese who made a cameo in Cardi’s 2023 hit music video, Put It on Da Floor Again. Reese clearly knows how to keep the balance between buckets and beats.
Rookie Year Recap: Breaking Records, Breaking Ankles
Reese’s rookie season wasn’t just good—it was record-shattering. She grabbed the WNBA single-season rebounding record and racked up a mind-boggling 15 consecutive double-doubles, a feat that had statisticians scrambling for adjectives.
