You can credit Tom Cruises Valkyrie trainer for Jeff Bezos buff body

Fitness guru Wes Okerson has also worked with Gerard Butler and Katie Holmes, and was on the reality show “Strong.”

Buff Jeff Bezos has turned to Tom Cruise’s former trainer to help fine-tune his physique, Page Six has 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, reportedly, is fitness guru Wesley Okerson, whose clients have also included Cruise and his ex-wife Katie Holmes, as well as Gerard Butler, Sacha Baron Cohen and Isla Fisher.

“Wes is amazing, he’s one of the hardest working guys. If you train with him, you will look legit,” a source familiar 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 herself has paid tribute to Okerson’s hard work. Posting a photo of her and Bezos paddling a canoe on Instagram last month, which he ‘liked’, she wrote: “Good Job Wes!”

Okerson was a trainer on the Netflix reality competition “Strong,” originally on NBC and hosted by former volleyball pro Gabrielle Reece, which put teams of women through fitness challenges. He’s also been part of the Hyrox World 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.

He spent more than six months in Berlin with Cruise as the star filmed “Valkyrie,” and then went on to train Cruise’s then-wife, Holmes, for the New York City Marathon. Okerson and Holmes were even seen crossing the finish line together in November 2007.

“Accustomed to working with actors who have very little time, [Okerson] knows how to get quick results,” according to a bio.

He reportedly employs the L.I.T. Method, a “low-impact, high-resistance” program that incorporates rowing machines and resistance bands.

Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez — After Sanchez, seen here with Bezos, posted a comment about being grateful for the people in her life, Okerson responded with flexed-arm emojis.

Bezos’ reps were unavailable for comment.

Bezos and Sanchez spent the holidays with family including his brother Mark Bezos, and her oldest son, Nikko Gonzales, and sister Elena.

Wes Okerson trained Katie Holmes for the New York City Marathon.

Posting photos from the trip on Instagram, Sanchez wrote: “I am so grateful for all the love that surrounds me everyday. My partner, family and friends. I love you all so much and I am thankful for your love and support. Bring it on 2022” — to which Okerson responded with two flexed-arms emojis.
