Gigi Hadid’s workout needs to be fun.
I’ll tell you right now that Hadid is not a fan of typical gym sessions and running on a treadmill.
That being said, you can replicate the training of the supermodel quite easily.
Gigi Hadid is a big advocate against body shaming, and says she’s been trying to gain weight, but her super active lifestyle, on top of her training that keeps her nice and toned, makes it difficult.
Hadid is of course first a foremost a model, having made it to the Models.com Top 50 Models as early as 2014, but she’s also much more than that.
Hadid is an influencer with over 51 million followers on her Instagram, and also appearing on things other than just the top magazines in the world; such as film, television and even music videos.
Gigi Hadid Stats:
Height: 5’10
Weight: (approximate) 121 lbs.
Age: 24 years old
Gigi Hadid is actually really tall.
At 5’10 she’s actually one of the tallest women we’ve seen at SHJ.
Normally the average height we see for women is around 5’4-5’6 with ladies such as Jennifer Aniston, Margot Robbie, Olivia Munn, Alicia Vikander, Sophia Bush, Tatiana Maslany, Evangeline Lilly, and a ton of others.
But then there is also that taller range, and among the tallest (even taller than the 5’7-5’8), are ladies like Gwendoline Christie, Gal Gadot, and a few others – with Phoebe Tonkin, Gabrielle Union, Brie Larson, Nina Dobrev, Daisy Ridley, and so many more coming in around that 5’7-5’8 range.
And, let’s not forget the shorter ladies of SHJ like Ariana Grande, Scarlett Johansson, Mila Kunis, Emilia Clarke, Lucy Hale, Julianne Hough and a good handful of others.
But, either way, don’t worry.
I write these routines for anyone and everyone.

Gigi Hadid Diet and Nutrition
Gigi Hadid loves burgers.
And after that sentence I’m pretty sure you know exactly where I’m going with this…
Hadid does have dietary restrictions she follows most of the time, but she also believes in indulging as well.
When we took at The Top Diets Among ALL Celebrities recently there was an overwhelming amount that felt the same way.
Hadid is actually even known for famously saying:
“Eat clean to stay fit, have a burger to stay sane”.
But Hadid doesn’t only love burgers, she also has other go-to choices as well.
“I love acai bowls,” she says. “We always took them to the beach growing up, so I guess it’s a little piece of home.”
And Shape.com shares some more information for us about Hadid’s pre and post workout meals:
How she fuels for her workouts: Gigi says her go-to snacks for before a workout are chips and guac or carrots and hummus. Afterwards? “A big meal.”
Although Harpers Bazaar (with some help from Women’s Health) also weighs in with some more awesome information for us about Hadid’s outlook on nutrition here:
A self-confessed fitness addict, Hadid knows the power of switching up workout routines, with her trainer Rob Piela telling Women’s Health: “No one wants to be doing the same thing over and over, and they like to be challenged. So we shake things up depending on how [she’s] feeling. Consistency is key.”
And they continue with a ton more helpful information as well (with more help from outside sources):
The supermodel told Harper’s BAZAAR US that she loves scrambled eggs and toast as it’s an “easy go-to”. She also said “My boyfriend, being British, got me into breakfast beans, so that’s what I’ve been eating lately”. Her favourite salad is an arugula salad, which involves plenty of rocket and Parmesan cheese, and her favourite snacks are “salami, chips, hummus, carrots and fruit”, according to SELF. Plenty of models have openly discussed omitting caffeine for their health and wellbeing, but Hadid has long stated her dependence on coffee to get through the day—something we can definitely relate to.
Though, in order to keep from overwhelming you with awesome information, I did actually break it up a bit.
Here’s the rest of what they share:
As much as Hadid loves comfort foods, the supermodel often needs to whip herself into shape for a job, and it’s been reported that she drinks smoothies to help shred any excess weight.Though plenty of models’ diets involve some method of fasting, Hadid has been open about the fact that starving yourself is never a viable option—for your health, or for your sanity.Speaking to SELF in 2016, Hadid said “If I don’t have milk and bread and eggs, then I can’t deal.”
“It depends on the goals of the person, really. If someone is looking to build lean muscle, they would take in some sugar afterwards to get the glycogen levels up and protein to help rebuild the muscle. A smoothie is pretty ideal because it’s an engineered perfect balance of food. Carbs, fat, protein, and sugar – the nutritional content of smoothies is great. I personally like to eat, though, so would much rather have quinoa, salmon, and salad.”
We see a lot of celebs opt for a sustainable approach like this.
That’s why our Academy Nutrition Classes (Monks, Minimalists, SuperHumans, Vikings, Spartans, Hunter Gatherers, Greek Gods, Samurais) revolve around helping you find the specific diet that is right FOR YOU.
Of course, there are a lot of reasons to HAVE the strict guidelines.
We’ve seen a lot of celebs opt for specific restrictions.
For example: Dwayne Johnson and Kevin Hart incorporate 80/20 dieting with big weekly cheat meals, Hugh Jackman, Benedict Cumberbatch and Terry Crews utilize intermittent fasting(something I use daily as well), Mustafa Shakir and Madelaine Petsch are vegans, Brandon Routh and Frank Grillo opt for paleo, and tons of others utilize their own variations as well.
And, that’s just to name a few celebs from each, by the way.
You can check out our Nutrition Pillars for more information and articles on all of the above and more.

Gigi Hadid Workout Routine Research
Gigi Hadid’s workout routine is pretty straight forward.
Of course, like many celebrities we’ve seen, she does switch it up, but for the most part she has (like her diet) her go-to options.
Without a doubt, across the board from all the sources I was able to find, we know Gigi Hadid’s favorite workout is boxing.
To start I want to share something from Bravo TV about Hadid’s love for boxing (and why):
“I grew up playing volleyball and riding horses, so it was weird to move to NYC and just have to go to the gym and lift weights and run. I was so bored!” she says. “I started boxing and it became my new sport. It’s an amazing cardio and strength workout and I feel like I want to go to the gym whenever I can and get better.”
Although Hadid does give us an alternative as well:
“If boxing isn’t your thing, [you] can swap it out for another cardio activity. I’ve always liked jump rope—it’s great for legs—or running [if you prefer]. You just want to keep your heart rate up the entire time”.
In an interview with Hadid’s trainer and India TV News we also get a ton of additional information that will help us put together a routine that is not strictly cardio based.
There we find out four of Hadid’s favorite movements are:
- Donkey Kicks
- Bicycle Crunches
- Bicep Curls
- Tricep Extensions
So expect to see all four of these in some of the alternative training methods we create to go along with Hadid’s love for boxing and cardio-driven workouts.
Another way Hadid loves to train is what her trainer shared with Shape, which we’re told is:
“three minutes of [non-stop] boxing, and then one minute of doing a lot of different leg-focused strength-training moves”.
Just another alternative to add to the list!
Self also says:
Alongside boxing, Hadid focuses on strength and muscle training, including up building her core muscles.
And to finish off we’ll have one last quote from Hadid’s personal trainer:
“She first came to me just to keep fit… I remember, it was about three and a half years ago. It was a fun session and we got along right away. She’s super nice and easygoing, and she’s really into boxing. I think her first post after the training session was “I just found my new addiction” or something along those lines. For us, it instantly took off as boxing a lot, which we incorporate all these other exercises with. We don’t just box for an hour straight. We would box, then do some donkey kicks, then box and do some bands, then box again and do some bicycle kicks. She’s a tremendous athlete.”
Boxing, bands, circuits, cardio, donkey kicks, and some strength movements.
Got all that?
It’s okay if you don’t…I do!

Obviously your best move is going to be to hit the gym and work with a trainer one on one, a sparring partner or even a trainer/coach to guide you threw bag work, shadowboxing, and/or other techniques; even if it’s just to burn calories and have fun.
That being said, I do have some other options for you here on the site.
