Fitness and sports modeling requirements

Real training is the job. This is the one category where what you do each week moves the fit.

What matters most

Consistent training, visible in how you move and photograph. Height matters less than on runway boards.

What agencies and rules actually say

  1. 01
    Wilhelmina NY's Sports+Fitness women's roster spans 5'2"–5'11½", with most between 5'8" and 5'10".[9]
  2. 02
    The same roster lists waists from 23" to 31" (typically 24–28") and hips from 31" to 44" (typically 33–39").[9]
  3. 03
    Wilhelmina's Sports+Fitness division is US-only; its offices are New York, Miami, Los Angeles and London.[10]
  4. 04
    The health baseline we build on is HHS's: 150–300 minutes a week of moderate activity plus muscle strengthening on 2 or more days.[52]
  5. 05
    In our rubric, training days per week carry 35% of the fitness score: the factor rises from 1 day and is fully in range from 4.[63]
  6. 06
    4 verified agencies in our directory have a board we map to fitness / sports: BMG Models, Donna Baldwin Agency, Otto Models and TCM Models & Talent.

Worth knowing

We could not verify men's fitness-roster heights, so the men's fitness height range in our rubric is our own estimate, labelled as such.[63]

  • Ford asks for a "clean face with absolutely no makeup", hair pulled back and a form-fitting outfit.[12]

05Questions

Asked, answered.

Do I need to lose weight for fitness modeling?
No, and we never score or coach weight loss. Fitness rosters span a wide range of waist and hip measurements. What moves this category is training consistency.
