Gigi Hadid’s Workout Routine
Like Gigi, I've found that unconventional workouts can be incredibly effective. While many of my clients initially lean towards traditional gym workouts, I often introduce them to boxing, just as Gigi prefers.
It's a fantastic way to build stamina and strength, and it adds an element of fun that keeps the routine engaging.
Of course, some days, she just wants to focus on her entire body, so she switches the boxing ring for some cardio activity, such as running, jumping the rope, or combining different exercises.
Mondays: Boxing or Alternative Cardio
On Mondays, Gigi goes for a 40-minute boxing session or opts for an alternative cardio exercise, like the jumping rope.
Tuesdays: Full Body Training
Tuesdays are for working the entire body by doing different exercises.
Warm-Up:
To warm up her body, Hadid focuses on 20–30 minutes of varied cardio exercises, such as treadmill, biking, boxing, rower, elliptical, etc. Then, she moves on to circuit training.
Circuit One:
- Jump ropes — three sets, 20 reps
- Kettlebell swings — three sets, 15 reps

Fridays: Boxing for the Win
Once again, Gigi is doing her favorite — boxing
Rest Days on Saturday and Sunday: Still Active
Even though the weekend is for resting, Gigi is still active. She typically goes for a light jog or power walk.
Her Workout Principles
The model is incredibly disciplined and works out regularly with her trainer, former pro fighter Rob Piela.
She used to be pretty muscular because she played volleyball and horseback riding for years, so she had to slenderize her legs.
Piela recommended jumping rope as a great, simple exercise that anyone can use to get lean legs.
Gigi’s trainer also pushes her to do a minute of core strengthening for every three minutes of sparring.
Still, boxing is what she loves.
"I need to have a sport that wakes me up and get better at, and boxing does that for me. When you’re boxing, you get so into it mentally that you kinda forget what’s going on. You forget you’re working out."
- Gigi Hadid, American Model
Although boxing is one of Gigi's favorite workouts, she likes to mix things up and try new workouts. She's strict, though, and does her routine even when traveling.
Gigi Hadid’s Diet Plan
Gigi's approach to dieting resonates with my own philosophy. I always advise my clients to maintain a balance – eating clean most of the time while allowing room for occasional indulgences.
This approach, focusing on lean proteins and minimizing carbs, is not only effective but also sustainable in the long term.
She has a salad that she adores and consumes every day — arugula salad, which includes lots of rocket and parmesan cheese, but she also loves snacking on chips and salami, hummus and carrots, and fruit.
The supermodel told Harper's Bazaar that it's easy to keep a healthy diet in New York City. Her typical daily menu looks something like this:
- Breakfast: Two scrambled eggs, a cup of coffee, and vitamins or breakfast beans
- Morning snack: Kodiak Cakes Power Cake pancake
- Lunch: Arugula salad, protein shake
- Snack: Grasshopper Pie ice cream or strawberries
- Dinner: Wheat bagel
Hadid Often Consumes:

Diet and Nutrition Principles
Hadid has Hashimoto's disease, which is one of many reasons she eats clean. People with this condition have an underactive thyroid gland, and their immune system often attacks the thyroid.
However, eliminating dairy, gluten, and soy from their diet helps significantly.
Despite that, Hadid loves eating out with her friends. She also drinks a lot of water — up to a gallon every day.
