Serena Williams has undergone quite the dramatic transformation over the last few years, and now she’s proved that she’s unafraid to show it.

The tennis pro has been transparent about reaching some weight loss goals after giving birth to her second daughter, and recently wowed her social media followers by posting new gym selfies that showed off her toned abs. She noted in her caption that she was still spending time working out, and her caption didn’t come long after she made a comment in a magazine interview that she was “obsessed” with her fitness regimen and exercise. Read more about her transformation and latest gym snaps below.

Serena Williams Posts New Gym Selfies On Instagram

The mom-of-two may not be playing as much tennis as she used to these days, but that doesn't mean she's not still working on her strength and stamina. After stepping out in lavish outfits for fashionable events like the Met Gala, Serena's been continuing to work on her health and, subsequently, her appearance.

 

Earlier this week, she posted a carousel of five mirror selfies she took at the gym. The athlete was wearing all-black workout gear, consisting of a sports bra and black leggings, which allowed her to flaunt her super impressive abs. Serena's six-pack poked through as she posed with her hand on her hip and her hair tied back.

 

"Working out and working on my angles," she captioned the post.

 

This isn't the first time the famous tennis player has flaunted her recent weight loss, but it's a rare moment where she puts her toned torso on display so that fans and followers can see just how far she's come and how strong she's gotten.

Fans React To Serena's Transformation After She Admitted She's Been 'Obsessed' With Exercise

Since the birth of her second daughter, Adira, in August 2023, the 43-year-old opened up about wanting to lose excess baby weight and get in better shape. One of her main goals was to fit into a stylish denim skirt that she had purchased while pregnant, and would update her Instagram followers on her progress.

 

Then, she began answering questions about her fitness and weight loss progression in interviews. At the end of 2024, she told People about how much she had been working out and improving her diet, noting that it had been taking up a lot of her time.

 

"I've gotten obsessed, more obsessed with diet and exercise, I think, than when I was playing tennis," she told the publication.

 

"I always try to eat healthy," she added. "I'm all about a healthy lifestyle."

 

She's come quite a long way since then, reportedly losing around 35 pounds and getting stronger than ever. After she shared her latest gym pictures, fans and followers flooded the comments section with words of praise, with some even writing that they didn't recognize it. One follower wrote that Serena was "shredded," as another noted that she was "always preparing for summer."

 

"You look great!" commented a fan, as another said they respected her "for putting in all the effort."

 

"You've trained and look ab fab," added a follower.

 

One Instagram user said that she "doesn't even look like Serena anymore." Although she hasn't responded to any comments about her looking unrecognizable, the tennis legend certainly seems happier than ever and is ready to show off her new bod.
