Jennifer Aniston will not have to give up her boxing workouts with LA-based trainer Leyon Azubuike as she films a TV series with Reese Witherspoon set in New York.
The currently untitled Apple show about morning TV — partly based on Brian Stelter’s book “Top of the Morning” — starts filming in October, but despite speculation to the contrary, Aniston will not be moving east.
“They will probably do a few days of exterior shots in NY,” a spokesman for the actress told me, “but the majority of the show will be shot in LA.”
Aniston, 49, recently raved to InStyle about her workouts with Azubuike, 31 — a former sparring partner of Canadian World Boxing Council heavyweight champion Bermane Stiverne.
“Boxing is a great way to get aggression out,” said Aniston, whose two ex-husbands are Brad Pitt and Justin Theroux. “You . . . have little fantasy moments imagining who you’re punching.”
Azubuike, who also trains Jake Gyllenhaal and supermodel Adriana Lima, has been training Aniston at her midcentury mansion in Bel Air to spare her from gawkers at his two Gloveworx gyms.
The fitness guru is single and isn’t dating anyone, his business manager Bryan Laverdure said. “He’s concentrating on expanding his business.”
