Jennifer Garner looked strong and energized as she made time for another workout on Saturday.
The 13 Going on 30 actress, 54, was spotted leaving a gym in Los Angeles, briefly stopping outside to catch her breath in the warm California sunshine.
Garner kept her gym look simple and practical, wearing black leggings with a matching black tank top. She tied a beige sweatshirt around her waist and finished the outfit with dark sunglasses to shield her eyes from the glare.
The Hollywood star has long been committed to a consistent fitness routine, though her workouts are not limited to sessions at the gym.
Garner is known for mixing up her exercise regimen with dance cardio, plyometrics, boxing and Peloton cycling, a varied approach that helps her maintain strength, stamina and agility.
Her focus on fitness comes during a particularly busy stretch. With five projects in the works and a new Peacock series, The Five-Star Weekend, to promote, Garner — who was dragged into the Daveigh Chase drama after backing Melissa Gilbert’s controversial post — appears to be keeping her energy levels high.

The actress’ gym visit follows her unexpected remarks about Ben Affleck’s parenting skills
Garner’s gym outing comes on the heels of her surprising comments about Ben Affleck’s parenting skills.
The actress has three children with the 53-year-old Oscar-winning actor: Violet, 20, Fin, 17, and Samuel, 14.
Speaking to Entertainment Weekly, Garner described Affleck as an ‘incredible co-parent’ as she reflected on balancing family life with a career in Hollywood more than a decade after the couple’s separation.
Garner said their children are now old enough to spend extended periods with their father, allowing her greater flexibility to take on work commitments while maintaining what she described as a strong co-parenting relationship.
‘But my kids are a little bigger. Their dad has become this incredible co-parent,’ she told the outlet.
‘When (my kids) were younger, I wouldn’t have done a couple of weeks away without taking them with me. Now they’re in high school. You can’t really do that anymore.
‘But they can stay with their dad. He’s wonderful. He takes care of them. He’s a great partner in that way. And that’s very freeing.’
Garner made the remarks while discussing ‘the minutiae of raising a family and working,’ telling Entertainment Weekly that motherhood inevitably became the priority during the years when her children were younger.

Is Jennifer Garner right to praise Ben Affleck as a co-parent despite their messy split?
She said she ‘absolutely’ became absorbed in raising her family, but explained that the children’s increasing independence has changed the way she approaches work.
She and Affleck were married from 2005 until their separation in 2015, with their divorce finalized in 2018. The former couple have continued to appear together publicly with their children since their split.
Affleck, meanwhile, has remained in the headlines following the end of his marriage to Jennifer Lopez in 2024, with both actors repeatedly speaking positively about their blended families.
Garner has been actively traveling and making television appearances to talk about The Five-Star Weekend, which co-stars Chloe Sevigny.
It also reunites her with her Catch and Release love interest Timothy Olyphant.
Affleck, meanwhile, has continued to balance acting, directing and producing following projects including Air, The Accountant franchise and his long-running partnership with Artists Equity.
Garner’s recent comments are the latest in a series of public shoutouts to her ex-husband since their divorce.
The pair have frequently been photographed attending family occasions together and have continued to spend time with their children during holidays and milestone celebrations.

On Father’s Day this year, Garner shared previously unseen photographs of Affleck with their children alongside a tribute to her late father, William Garner.
She wrote: ‘My sisters and I loved to spoil our dad; he never wanted for fresh baked cookies or a bowl of ice cream.
‘I see the way my kids dote on their dad and I’m happy for them. To love and be loved by a great dad is a gift.
‘Happy Father’s Day to all of the dads and to the kids of dads, too.’
