Today, Brazilian-born model Adriana Lima turns 43. And the mother of three does it all—she was a Victoria’s Secret Angel for more than a decade, a high fashion runway darling, FIFA ambassador, and, quite recently, gloriously pregnant on the Cannes red carpet. She’s also one of the many super-strong women trained by fitness badass Kirk Meyers (he also trains Taylor Swift, Jasmine Tookes, and Romee Strijd, to name a few), the founder of Dogpound Gym.
Lima and Myers have traveled and trained around the world together—think Shanghai, Paris, Cannes, Miami, NYC, LA, and Mexico. “She’s a badass and all of the other supermodels look up to her for inspiration,” Myers tells Vogue of Lima’s incredible drive. “She is known amongst the Super Models as to have the hardest workouts and all of the other Victoria’s Secret Angels and models speak super highly of her and admire her.”

On Instagram, Myers has shared videos of Lima (who is a global brand partner at Dogpound and invested in the gym) completing hellish-looking “battle ropes,” boxing, jumping rope, and more. He credits the model’s spirit as something that keeps even the most intense workouts light. “You would never realize she was famous if you didn’t know it. She’s super down-to-earth and kind, has the biggest heart, and perhaps most importantly is an amazing mother and human being.”
