Now that Sam Asghari is adjusting to life as a single man after his divorce from Britney Spears earlier this year, it looks like he’s been using some of his newfound free time to hit the gym. As a personal trainer, fitness has always been important to Sam, but as he revealed in a new interview this week, he’s lost 40 pounds since the breakup. As Sam tells it, his outer transformation came at the same time as his inner transformation.
Sam showed off his new look to Page Six.

In new photos obtained by the news outlet, it’s clear to see that Sam is looking a lot different these days — something he says is the result of being able to focus fully on himself over the past several months.
“So, in the past five months I’ve had a little transformation which was losing about a good 35 to 40 pounds,” he said.
It seems he thinks others are taking notice of his new look already.
“Sometimes when you are in a situation that you don’t get to necessarily focus on yourself, it could be challenging for you to notice [the changes] but everybody else does,” he said.
For Sam, the changes haven’t just been physical.
He’s been using his free time to be productive.

He also emphasized just how important he believes self-love is — for him and for everyone.
“Being by yourself and alone is a really good opportunity to focus on yourself,” he said. According to him, it’s not about “a revenge body, but a self-love sort of thing.”

Those who keep up with Sam on Instagram already know that he’s been hard at work, hitting the gym. He often shares videos or photos from his workouts, which means his nearly three million followers have had a front-row seat to his transformation in real time.
Even in the midst of all of these changes, Sam isn’t planning to date just yet.

After his seven-year relationship with Britney, it sounds like Sam is content to be single for a while.
“I’m focusing on work at the moment. I definitely won’t be joining any dating apps anytime soon. That’s for sure,” he told Page Six.
