Mischa Barton is planning to get back into shape.

The actress — who was recently released from hospital after being placed under involuntary psychiatric hold — is currently in New York City to shoot the TV show A Beautiful Life.

And when she’s not busy filming, Mischa has been hitting the downtown Equinox gym and has even hired a trainer.

“Mischa is really focused on getting into shape,” a source told People mag.

“Mischa has been doing a lot of conditioning with weights as well as cardio on the treadmill, and some kickboxing.

“She’s been very consistent and she seems focused.”

“She has big self-esteem issues,” a source said last month. “She hates her legs. She isn’t comfortable with her body. It’s been a big source of stress and self-hate.”
