Naomi has never been a gym person. "I work out. But not [at] a regular type of gym—no machines. I can't go to a regular gym. That makes me nervous,” she once revealed to E! News.
3. A Trainer Helps Her Be Accountable
Naomi never enjoyed exercise until she started working out with her trainer, Joe Holder. "I've never liked working out before I started working out with Joe," she explained in her Youtube series, #BeingNaomi. "I don't like everything he makes me do, but it's not about liking it. It's about attacking the body in different parts and conditioning." She even shares videos of their sessions on her IGTV channel.
4. She Loves Jump Roping

Her trainer told British Vogue that Naomi loves her jump rope. "I like the ones that get my heart rate up, but I understand the importance of the ones that are more slow and burning and conditioning and tightening,” the model said when asked about her favorite types of workouts. Holder maintains that her usual jump rope circuit involves five sets of skipping for 60 seconds.
5. She Also Does Pilates
Naomi revealed to Today that Pilates is one of her go-to workouts. "Stretching is important," she said. “I danced for many years, so Pilates is something that elongates you and keeps you toned." It's also the perfect form of active recovery to help her body bounce back between sweat sessions.
