RFK Jr.’s unusual workout gear causes ‘spectacle’ at swanky NYC Equinox

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. seems to be taking a page out of the Lenny Kravitz book of workout gear!

The health nut politico has been spotted working out at the luxe Equinox Hudson Yards in “tight jeans and hiking boots,” looking like a “construction worker,” a source told Page Six.

“He works out really hard, lifting weights and he does the treadmill. He wears tight jeans,” a fit source said.

Kennedy’s unusual exercise garb apparently caused quite the stir at the workout mecca — particularly amongst younger gymgoers who didn’t recognize the political scion.

“Some people didn’t know who he was, and were like, ‘Who’s that older guy?’” said an insider. “He looked like a construction worker in tight jeans and a T-shirt,” they said.

Kennedy, 70, recently arrived to the Manhattan gym flanked by three security guards.

We’re told members at the club were entertained, and chuckling, at the sight of him running on the treadmill in his hiking boots.

The sighting was reminiscent of Kravitz — the rock icon who was spotted strength training at the same location last year — working out in a tracksuit paired with sunglasses and black motorcycle boots.

The Post previously ran pics of a ripped Kennedy working out at Gold’s Gym in Venice, Calif. — which he’d posted to X — showing him shirtless and in jeans and a belt as he quite literally flipped out with a pal.

Kennedy quipped that he was “practicing for my confirmation hearing.”

President-elect Donald Trump has tapped Kennedy to lead the Department of Health and Human Services, which is subject to Senate approval.

The fit septuagenarian was also recently embroiled in an alleged “sexting” dalliance with former New York magazine political reporter Olivia Nuzzi, 31, which he has denied.

Nuzzi wrote a profile on the former presidential candidate — who endorsed Donald Trump after dropping his own bid — that was published in 2023.

Via his rep, however, the son of Sen. Robert F. Kennedy — who is married to Cheryl Hines — denied the romance and told The Post he’d only met Nuzzi “once in his life for an interview she requested.”
