Kevin James – 80Lbs – Training Like An MMA Fighter

Kevin James gained fame as a larger-than-life, both physically and in personality, courier driver in “The King of Queens.” While his size was noticeable, it suited his role, so he left it alone. Then he landed the role in “Here Comes The Boom,” and he needed to lose weight.

He enlisted the services of MMA trainer Ryan Parsons. He wanted Parsons to train him like any other fighter. He put Kevin on a balanced eating plan and had him doing hour-long workouts that included running up and down stairs and training as a boxer, among other things. James lost 80 pounds. In 2021 he starred in the series “The Crew.”
