Personal Trainer
She appeared in Victoria’s Secret Fashion 2014. To prepare for the show physically, she underwent a 4-day boxing camp in Tulum. Romee took the help from New York City’s Aerospace gym owner and trainer Michael Olajide, Jr.
She works out daily without missing a single day. But, there is one thing, she doesn’t like, and that is Romee does not like to exercise all by herself. So, she goes to classes every day. She goes to SLT, Aerospace gym, does Ballet Beautiful and Pilates.
But due to her modeling career, she does not get to stay at one place for long. She is traveling most of the times. So, Romee does her workout in her hotel gym, if possible. For instance, she would do 30 minutes of cardio (running) followed by 15 minutes of rope skipping, followed by 15 minutes of ab exercises.
If she is free in the evening, she also gets to tune into Mary Helen Bowers’s 7:30 p.m. Ballet Beautiful Live virtual fitness classes via her computer.
She keeps herself hydrated by drinking lots of water. She listens to songs while working out to motivate and push her to exercise more.
Regarding diet, she eats healthy stuff. That doesn’t mean, she does not get cravings. She gets, but Romee feels better and full of energy if she eats healthy stuff. Before a fashion show, she strictly doesn’t indulge in junk food.
She keeps changing her eating plan. Romee eats stuff like almond butter, fresh fruits, yogurt, and seeds on a typical day.
Refueling the body after a workout session is a must. And, Romee knows that. Hence, she eats an apple, some nuts, smoothie, or juice.
Her afternoon meal and evening meals are mostly cooked by her such as baked chicken or fish with lots of veggies and spices.
In 2011, Strijd signed with the DNA Model Management agency. On March 17. 2017 she announced via her Instagram that she is now represented by IMG Models Management. She has appeared in editorials for British, German, Spanish, and Dutch Vogue, French and Dutch Elle, Spanish Harper’s Bazaar, Dutch Marie Claire, and French Madame Figaro.
She has walked for Alexander McQueen, Badgley Mischka, Balmain, Burberry, Calvin Klein, Celine, Christopher Kane, DKNY, Donna Karan, EDUN, Giambattista Valli, Hussein Chalayan, Isabel Marant, Jil Sander, Jill Stuart, Kenzo, Loewe, Louis Vuitton, Marchesa, Michael Kors, Nina Ricci, Peter Som, Phillip Lim, Prabal Gurung, Prada, Rag & Bone, Rochas, Roland Mouret, Vera Wang, Victoria’s Secret.
She has appeared in campaigns for Carolina Herrera, Alexander McQueen, Donna Karan, Stradivarius, Giuseppe Zanotti, H&M, and Marchesa.
In 2014, she was chosen to be one of the newcomers at the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show. In 2015, she became a Victoria’s Secret Angel. In March 2017 she announced that she was now represented by IMG Models.
