Buff Jeff Bezos turned to Tom Cruise’s former trainer for help with his physique, Page Six learned.

The Amazon founder, 57, has been showing off his shirtless silhouette during a December 2021 vacation with bikini-clad girlfriend Lauren Sanchez, 52 — looking equally fit — in St. Barts.

The man behind the muscles is reportedly Wesley Okerson, a fitness guru whose clients include Cruise and Katie Holmes.

“Wes’s work ethic is unmatched. He will make you look legitimate if you train with him,” a source familiarized with Okerson’s work told The Post.

The celebrity trainer also happens to be in St. Barts for the 2021 holidays as well, with his wife, fitness trainer Lindsay Bushman, according to their Instagram accounts.

Jeff Bezos — Bezos and girlfriend Lauren Sanchez have created a media storm, showing off their fit physiques in St. Barts.

Sanchez has also paid tribute to Okerson.

Sanchez herself has paid tribute to Okerson’s hard work by posting a photo of her with Bezos paddling a kayak on Instagram last month. He ‘liked it’.

Okerson is a trainer on Netflix’s reality show “Strong,” which was originally broadcast on NBC. It was hosted by Gabrielle Reece (ex-volleyball pro) and featured teams of women who were challenged to complete fitness challenges. He has also been a part of the Hyrox International Series of Fitness.

Wes Okerson — Okerson regularly posts Instagram shots of himself working out in various locales.

According to Okeson’s bio, he got a Bachelor of Sciences degree in Kinesiology from the University of Maryland in 2001 and then moved to Los Angeles, where he set up his own fitness business and started working with Cruise full-time in 2007.

Sanchez posted photos from the trip to Instagram and wrote: “I’m so grateful for all of the love that surrounds my every day. My family, friends, and partner. I love you all so very much and I am grateful for your support and love. Bring it on 2022” — to which Okerson responded with two flexed-arms emojis.
