Sanne Vloet on the Victoria's Secret Runway and How to Feel Your Best

The Victoria's Secret Fashion Show Is Back. And So Is Sanne.

If you have been anywhere near the internet recently, you already know. The Victoria's Secret Fashion Show is returning, and the fashion and wellness worlds are paying attention in the way they only do when something genuinely iconic comes back into the cultural conversation.

For us at Soul Sync Body, this moment is a little more personal than most.

Our founder, Sanne Vloet, has walked the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show three times. She knows what it takes to stand under those lights, in front of that audience, at the peak of one of the most demanding events in the industry. She has done the work, lived the preparation, and come out the other side with a perspective on what it actually means to feel strong, confident, and truly well in your body that very few people in the world have.

And she built Soul Sync Body from that perspective.

So in the true fashion of fashion, we thought this was the perfect moment to talk about exactly that: what the model approach to wellness actually looks like behind the scenes, what Sanne took from her runway years into the creation of Soul Sync Body, and a few of the habits and practices that keep a woman feeling her absolute best — runway or not.

What the Victoria's Secret Runway Actually Demands

There is a version of the model story that is about restriction, extremity, and an impossible standard. Sanne has spoken about this directly, and it is one of the reasons Soul Sync Body exists the way it does.

Walking the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, requires a level of physical and mental preparation that most people do not see. The cameras capture thirty seconds of a woman walking with precision, energy, and total confidence. What they do not capture is the consistency, the discipline, and the genuine self-knowledge it takes to get there.

But here is what Sanne has always been clear about: the goal was never to be the smallest person in the room. It was to be the strongest, most energised, most capable version of herself. The kind of body that performs, endures, recovers, and carries itself with confidence — not the kind of body produced by deprivation.

"Strength training changed my approach to movement. My programs are designed to create results that go beyond the physical. I want to give you all the tools you need to feel empowered. You'll build strength, challenge yourself, and walk away from every workout feeling stronger, happier, and more confident, both physically and mentally."

— Sanne Vloet, Founder of Soul Sync Body

That philosophy is the direct throughline from the runway to Soul Sync Body. The same approach that allowed Sanne to perform at the highest level of her industry is the foundation of every program, every recipe, and every mindfulness practice inside the app. It was never about looking a certain way. It was always about feeling genuinely, sustainably, powerfully well.

What Sanne Brought From the Runway Into Soul Sync Body

When you have spent years in an industry that scrutinizes the body at close range and demands it perform at a high level consistently, you learn things about what actually works. Not the trends or the quick fixes, but the habits and practices that hold up across seasons, across schedules, and across the inevitable difficult weeks.

These are the things Sanne brought into Soul Sync Body:

That Movement Should Feel Like Something You Want to Do

One of the clearest lessons from years in the industry is that punishing exercise does not produce lasting results. It produces burnout, injury, and a complicated relationship with your body. The movement that Sanne has always returned to — Pilates, mindful strength training, breath-led practice — is the kind that leaves you feeling better after than before. That is not a coincidence. It is a design principle.

Every workout inside Soul Sync Body is built around this idea. The goal is never to destroy you. It is to make you feel stronger, more capable, and more at ease in your body with every session.

That What You Eat Should Fuel You, Not Punish You

The model industry has a complicated relationship with food, and Sanne has been vocal about choosing a different path. The nourishment approach inside Soul Sync Body is built around real food, adequate protein, whole ingredients, and the understanding that a body that is genuinely fed performs, recovers, and looks better than one that is not.

There is nothing in the Soul Sync Body nutrition library that is about restriction. It is about giving the body what it needs, making it delicious, and building the kind of relationship with food that is sustainable across a lifetime.

That the Mind Is As Important As the Body

Confidence is not a physical attribute. It is a state of mind that is deeply connected to how you move, how you sleep, how you manage stress, and how you talk to yourself. Sanne understood this from her years on set and on the runway, where the women who carried themselves with the most presence were not always the ones who fit a particular measurement. They were the ones who had done their internal work as thoroughly as their physical work.

This is why mindfulness is a genuine pillar of Soul Sync Body rather than an afterthought. The meditation, breathwork, and recovery practices inside the app are not extras. They are central to the result.

Model Tips: Runway-Ready Habits for Every Woman

These are not secrets. They are habits. The kind that models, athletes, and women who consistently feel their best have in common, regardless of their industry or their starting point. None of them require a specific body type or a personal trainer on call. They just require consistency.

Tip 01

Stand Like You Mean It

Posture is one of the most underestimated elements of how a woman carries herself and how confident she appears to others and to herself. Models are trained from early in their careers to understand that presence begins before you speak, before you move, before anyone sees your face. It begins in how you hold your spine.

The habit: roll your shoulders back and down, lift the crown of your head toward the ceiling, and breathe into your ribcage rather than into your shoulders. Do this once an hour when you remember. Over time it becomes the way your body defaults to standing.

The underlying work: core and back strength. A body that can effortlessly hold good posture is a body with strong stabilizing muscles. Pilates builds exactly this, specifically and deliberately, from the inside out.

Try this: Before you walk into any room today, take one breath, roll your shoulders back, and lift tall. Notice how it changes the way you feel before you have said a word.

Tip 02

Hydrate Like Your Skin Depends on It (Because It Does)

Every model will tell you this and it is not a cliche: consistent, adequate hydration is one of the most visible things you can do for how you look and feel. Skin that is well-hydrated has a different quality to it — a plumpness and clarity that no product quite replicates. Energy levels, cognitive function, and physical performance all drop noticeably with even mild dehydration.

The habit: start every morning with a large glass of water before anything else. Keep a water bottle visible throughout the day. Herbal teas count. Sparkling water counts. Coconut water counts. The goal is consistent intake across the day rather than catching up in the evening.

Before a big event, models pay particular attention to hydration in the 48 hours prior. Well-hydrated skin photographs differently, moves differently, and radiates differently to skin that has been running on coffee and forgotten water glasses.

The rule of thumb: if you are thinking about whether you have had enough water today, you probably have not. Drink a glass now.

Tip 03

Move Every Day, Even When It Is Just a Little

The consistency of daily movement is what separates the results that last from the ones that do not. Not intensity. Not duration. Consistency.

Models do not train to exhaustion before a show. They move consistently and intelligently over the weeks and months before it, so that by the time the show arrives they are at the peak of a long build rather than the end of a short sprint. This is the approach that produces a body that performs under pressure rather than collapsing under it.

The habit: commit to something every day, even on the days when that something is a 15-minute Pilates session, a walk, or ten minutes of stretching before bed. The minimum version of the habit matters as much as the full version, because it keeps the thread unbroken.

The reframe: You are not deciding whether to work out today. You are deciding what version of movement fits today. There is always a version that fits.

Tip 04

Eat to Glow, Not to Shrink

The most consistent thing you notice in women who look genuinely well is that they eat. Properly. Regularly. With enjoyment. There is a quality to a well-nourished body that no amount of restriction can produce — a brightness in the skin, an energy in the eyes, a way of moving through the world that feels effortless and alive. That quality comes from being genuinely fed.

Protein builds and maintains the muscle that gives the body its shape and its resilience. Healthy fats support skin quality, hormonal health, and the kind of sustained energy that keeps you present and engaged through a long day. Colorful vegetables provide the antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals that determine how your skin, hair, and nails actually look.

The habit: at every meal, ask whether you have protein, color, and healthy fat on your plate. Not as a rigid rule but as a gentle prompt toward the kind of variety that keeps the body genuinely nourished.

The shift: Stop asking what you can take off your plate. Start asking what you can add to it that your body will actually use.

Tip 05

Sleep Is the Most Underrated Beauty Treatment

This is not a wellness cliche. Sleep is when the body produces growth hormone, repairs muscle tissue, regulates cortisol, processes the emotional load of the day, and resets every system that determines how you look and feel when you wake up. No skincare routine, no supplement, and no workout can replicate what a consistent eight hours does for the face, the body, and the mind.

Models know this. The preparation for a major show includes serious sleep discipline. Not because there is a rule about it but because the difference between a well-rested face and a depleted one is visible from twenty meters away under studio lighting, and everyone in the room can see it.

The habit: treat your bedtime with the same commitment you give your morning routine. Wind down intentionally, put screens away earlier than feels comfortable, and protect that sleep window like the performance investment it is.

Worth knowing: Cortisol, elevated by poor sleep and chronic stress, is one of the primary drivers of skin aging, weight retention around the midsection, and energy depletion. Sleep is genuinely medicine.

Tip 06

Work on the Internal Narrative, Not Just the External One

The women who walk into a room and own it are not always the ones who look a particular way. They are the ones who have a settled, grounded relationship with themselves. They have done enough internal work, through therapy, journaling, meditation, genuine self-reflection, to not be constantly at war with how they look or who they are.

This is not easy and it does not happen overnight. But it is the most powerful and the most lasting confidence work available. No workout, no diet, and no skincare routine produces the quality of presence that genuine self-acceptance does.

The habit: five minutes of journaling, breathwork, or guided meditation each morning before the day begins. Not to fix anything. Just to check in, breathe, and remind yourself of who you are before the world starts telling you who to be.

Start here: Try a free Soul Sync Body meditation as your morning anchor this week. Even five minutes changes the tone of everything that follows.

The Real "Model Secret": It Is a System, Not a Shortcut

If you look at those six tips, you will notice something. None of them are revolutionary. None of them require anything you do not already have access to. What they require is consistency, and a system that supports that consistency rather than leaving it entirely to willpower.

This is the thing that models who sustain their careers and their health over years understand that most people in the industry do not talk about publicly: the results do not come from one perfect week or one extreme protocol. They come from a system of habits that becomes the default way of living. Movement every day. Food that nourishes. Sleep that restores. A mind that is managed as carefully as the body.

Soul Sync Body is that system, built for every woman, not just models.

It brings together the Pilates and strength workouts that build the kind of body that moves with ease and confidence. The nutrition library and meal plans that make eating well feel effortless rather than effortful. The guided meditations and breathwork that develop the internal groundedness that radiates outward. And the community that makes all of it more consistent and more enjoyable than doing it alone.

This is what Sanne built from everything she learned on the runway. Start your Soul Sync Body membership and access the workouts, nourishment, mindfulness, and community that make feeling this good your new normal.

On the Show, on the Runway, and in Real Life

The Victoria's Secret Fashion Show has always been about more than lingerie and wings. At its best, it is a celebration of women who have worked extraordinarily hard to feel extraordinary in their bodies, presented in the most spectacular way imaginable.

Sanne has stood on that runway three times. She knows what the moment feels like, what it costs, and what it means. And she knows that the feeling it produces, that complete, whole-body confidence and ease, is not exclusive to women walking in fashion shows.

It is available to any woman who builds the right habits, the right practices, and the right support around her. Not because she looks a certain way. Because she feels a certain way. From the inside out.

That is what Soul Sync Body is for. And with the show back in the cultural conversation, there is no better time to start building toward that feeling for yourself.

Explore what is inside the app: Movement, Nourishment, and Connection. And try something free today: a workout, a recipe, or a meditation. Your runway-ready routine starts with one session.

Final Thoughts: The Show Is One Night. The Habits Are for Life.

The Victoria's Secret Fashion Show is a moment. An extraordinary, spectacular, once-in-a-season moment. But the confidence, strength, and ease that you see on that runway on the night are the result of months of consistent, grounded, sustainable habits that happen in ordinary kitchens and living rooms and gym floors, long before the lights come on.

That is the real story. And it is a story that belongs to every woman who is willing to build those habits for herself, not for a runway or a camera or anyone else's approval, but because she deserves to feel that good in her body every single day.

Sanne built Soul Sync Body for exactly that reason. Welcome.
