Elliot Page Shows Off Impressive Physique After Revealing He Is ‘Hooked’ on Boxing

Elliot Page is giving fans a look at the results of his latest fitness obsession. The 39-year-old actor recently shared shirtless photos and training clips from the boxing gym, revealing a noticeably more muscular physique and defined abs after dedicating himself to the sport.

But for Page, boxing appears to be about much more than physical transformation. The Umbrella Academy star described training as an “essential part” of his life and praised his coach for approaching the sport from both a technical and psychological perspective. His enthusiasm was clear enough that he jokingly warned anyone interested in trying boxing that they might become just as “hooked” as he has.

Page Reveals the Results of His Boxing Training

Page shared his fitness update on Instagram on June 29, posting a shirtless photograph alongside his New York-based boxing coach, Nolan Hanson. Additional videos showed the actor putting his skills into practice during training sessions.

The photograph quickly attracted attention because of Page’s defined midsection and increasingly athletic appearance. However, his caption focused less on aesthetics and more on what he has learned through boxing.

Page called Hanson a “brilliant teacher” and praised his ability to explain complicated movements while also understanding boxing strategy.

He was particularly complimentary about his trainer’s attention to the psychological side of the sport, suggesting that the appeal of boxing extends beyond simply getting a strenuous workout.

Boxing Has Become an ‘Essential’ Part of His Life

Page made clear that his sessions are no longer an occasional fitness experiment.

“Training with Nolan has become an essential part of my life,” he wrote, before recommending the coach to people in New York City looking to learn boxing.

Then came Page’s playful warning: anyone signing up might find themselves becoming as hooked on the sport as he is.

The accompanying training footage offered some insight into that enthusiasm, showing Page practicing boxing movements and combinations rather than simply posing after a conventional gym workout.

His Relationship With Fitness Has Changed Over the Years

Page’s current passion is especially interesting considering how differently he once described exercise.

In a 2022 interview discussed by Men’s Health, Page explained that working out had previously felt uncomfortable. Walking and hiking had been his primary forms of exercise, but his relationship with fitness eventually changed dramatically.

At the time, he spoke enthusiastically about becoming stronger and feeling more engaged and present while exercising.

Several years later, boxing appears to have provided another way of building on that relationship with physical activity.

Rather than discussing training solely in terms of appearance, Page has repeatedly emphasized how exercise makes him feel, which helps explain why his latest boxing routine has become such an important part of his everyday life.

Fans Were Impressed by Page’s Transformation

Unsurprisingly, Page’s latest photographs attracted plenty of attention online.

Fans and fellow entertainers responded enthusiastically to the actor’s muscular appearance and boxing progress. Coverage of the post noted that commenters praised everything from his abs to his commitment to training.

Page’s girlfriend, comedian and actress Julia Shiplett, also reacted to the Instagram update with a kiss emoji. The pair first became publicly linked in 2025 and later made their red-carpet debut together during Milan Fashion Week.

Page Has Found Ways to Exercise While Traveling

A busy acting career can make maintaining a consistent fitness schedule challenging, but Page has apparently found ways around that problem.

He has previously discussed using virtual-reality workouts while traveling, allowing him to continue exercising even when conventional training facilities may not be readily available. Reports surrounding his latest transformation noted that Page has described VR fitness as a useful addition to his routine.

His boxing sessions, however, appear to have become the centerpiece of his current approach.

The sport combines conditioning, coordination, strength and technique, while Page’s comments suggest that learning and mastering its mental side is equally important to him.

Page Continues a Busy Acting Career

The fitness update comes during another active period in Page’s career.

After becoming widely known through movies including Juno and Inception and later starring as Viktor Hargreeves in Netflix’s The Umbrella Academy, Page reunited professionally with Christopher Nolan for The Odyssey.

That reunion carries particular significance because Nolan previously directed Page in 2010’s Inception.

Still, Page hasn’t publicly framed his boxing solely as preparation for a particular role. His own comments make the motivation sound far more personal: training has simply become something he genuinely enjoys.

Boxing Looks Like More Than a Temporary Workout

Celebrity physical transformations frequently arrive alongside new movie roles, but Page’s description of boxing suggests this particular routine could stick around.

His latest photos may have attracted attention because of his defined physique, yet Page himself emphasized his coach, the technical challenge of boxing and the mental elements involved in learning the sport.

For an actor who once admitted that traditional workouts didn’t feel right for him, becoming so enthusiastic about training represents a notable change.

Now Page isn’t merely exercising more. He has found a sport he says has become an essential part of his life and judging by his warning to prospective boxers, he doesn’t expect the obsession to disappear anytime soon.
