Lakers new head trainer Gunnar Peterson has huge expectations for Ingram, speaks for the first time

The Los Angeles Lakers have made one thing clear since the decision to hand the keys to Magic Johnson was made: Everything is changing. That includes their approach to fitness and health, something both Magic and new general manager Rob Pelinka have stressed throughout their conversations with media in recent months.

That ultimately led to the resignation of head trainer Tim DiFrancesco, joining the numerous pieces of the Jim Buss-Mitch Kupchak era that faded into the past. Fast forward ahead to last week, and the Lakers replaced DiFrancesco by bringing in celebrity and athlete trainer Gunnar Peterson.

As these things seem to go nowadays, TMZ Sports landed an exclusive interview with Gunnar, who had yet to speak since being announced as part of the new Lakers regime.
