   Cheryl Cole is now reportedly working with Tracy Anderson to get in the best shape possible

Singer and television personality Cheryl Cole is anything but out of shape, but no one can blame her for wanting to look her best, especially now that she’s set out to conquer the US with her position as judge on the US version of X Factor.

Reports claim that Cole went on the infamous baby food diet long before the official announcement regarding X Factor was even made, also in preparation for the day she’d come to the US.

A new report cited by the Daily Mail suggests that the star has also reached out to one of the most popular celebrity personal trainers out there for a little push in the right direction: Tracy Anderson.

Having worked with the biggest stars out there, Anderson is definitely the woman for the job if you want to get in shape – and this was precisely what Cheryl thought when she was introduced to her.

“The new US X Factor judge hit the gym just 24 hours after landing in Los Angeles, with personal trainer-to-the-stars Tracy Anderson,” says the Mail.

“The exercise guru, who has worked with A-listers including Madonna, Gwyneth Paltrow, Nicole Richie and Jennifer Aniston, put Cheryl through a very tough first workout,” adds the publication.

Apparently, the two met through common friend and Cheryl’s rumored boyfriend Derek Hough of Dancing With the Stars, and it was Derek who suggested to Tracy that he take Cheryl as a client.

Cheryl had previously expressed a desire to get with the program and hire someone to help her get in the best shape possible.

“Cheryl works out anyway but she knows that LA celebrities have a completely different health and fitness ethos,” a source says, as per the Mail.

“A few weeks back, Cheryl arranged to take lessons with Tracy after Derek Hough introduced them,” says the spy.

“She wants to make sure she’s fighting fit and ready for the US X Factor – and the American audiences – and she wanted the best in the business for it,” the insider adds.

Having been in front of the cameras for so long (Cole comes off a long stay as judge on the British version of X Factor), the star definitely knows a lot about how important it is to look her best.
