Celebrity IOU: Cindy Crawford stuns longtime personal trainer Sarah Hagaman with interior renovation

Cindy Crawford surprised her personal trainer Sarah Hagaman with an interior makeover on Monday’s episode of Celebrity IOU on HGTV

The Meaningful Beauty brand owner, 56, said she wanted to give back to her personal trainer Sarah and her husband Rick Hagaman, who have helped her through the years.

“I moved to Malibu, I think, 17 years ago and my coach that I had for a long time, she broke up with me,” Cindy said. ‘I was looking for a new coach and Sarah was recommended to me. Cue 17 years later, we are so dependent on each other to share. I mean, we’re each other’s therapist now.

Sarah said she started coaching Cindy for only half an hour, but later increased to an hour and met with her three times a week.

“This friendship evolved in such an organic and nice way,” Cindy said in a confessional.

“We were through a lot of big moments together and probably the biggest moment was when I found out Rick was diagnosed with cancer,” Sarah said.

“I lost a brother to cancer when I was a kid, so I have some experience,” Cindy said. “But I can’t imagine as a young mother, suddenly you’re scared for her life, you’re scared for your kids.”

Sarah said that Rick’s diagnosis would leave him unable to have children, so they had two weeks to try for another baby, and luckily they were successful.

Cindy said that Sarah has been talking about buying a house since she’s known her. She also shared that Sarah and Rick were looking forward to hosting sobriety meetings at her new house.

The supermodel walked through the home with twin brothers Drew and Jonathan Scott and suggested that the home’s layout should be reinvented with an open-concept layout.

“I know how much your life revolves around the kitchen living room,” Cindy said. “And also, because Sarah and Rick are so involved in their recovery community, they also host gatherings at her house.”

Cindy helped with the demolition of the house by using a sledgehammer to smash a countertop.

She told the brothers they had less than six weeks to do their ‘super remodel’ of the house their friends had just bought, but couldn’t afford to renovate it due to medical bills.

“It’s definitely more physically challenging than most modeling jobs,” Cindy said. But I liked it more than I thought I would.

Cindy also encouraged them to use arches in the design of the new space. Cindy also helped them choose the colors for the cabinets and flooring and helped them lay the floors down when they arrived.

“Arches add an architectural element to your home,” Cindy said. “I think it ties the whole space together really well.”

“Cindy is a rock star, there’s no other way to say it,” Drew said. “She’s doing everything she has to to make this home perfect for Sarah and I love that.”

Drew was amazed at how much Cindy was spending on renovating Sarah’s house.

“She literally went all in on it here,” Drew said. She did the construction, the demolition. She did all the different aspects of this design and was able to make it as a gift to someone she loves.’

Cindy urged them to make it special for her friend who meant so much to her.

“I really want it to be that moment where she feels like she might move on,” Cindy said.

“Cindy literally rolled up her sleeves,” Jonathan said. ‘She made it happen from the floors to the ceiling. Whatever, she was practical.

Cindy called Sarah the day of the reveal and told her that she was in her neighborhood and wanted to see her new house.

“I’d love to,” Sarah said.

Cindy said she was excited waiting for her friend to show up.

“She’s going to walk into a house that doesn’t look anything like the house she bought,” Cindy said.

“This is going to blow her mind,” Drew said.

Sarah was stunned when she entered.

‘What is hapening here?’ Sarah screamed.

Sarah immediately hugged Cindy. Cindy told her that Rick let her in the day after they closed the deal on the house.

“I really wanted to do something special for you,” Cindy said. ‘I needed some help, so I got a little magical elf to help me.’

Sarah was surprised again when the Property Brothers showed up.

“It’s really overwhelming,” Sarah said. ‘These things don’t normally happen in life.’

Sarah said that upon entering she felt like she had been transported to another land.

“Not just owning a home, but having a home with style and elegance and character and just a cool factor,” said Sarah. “It seemed crazy that this was happening.”

Sarah especially loved the bows.

“That’s amazing,” Sarah said. ‘Wow!’

Sarah also loved the natural color palette.

‘Cindy, I can’t believe you did this,’ Sarah said. “It’s going to change my family’s life on a daily basis.”

“I just want you to enjoy it,” Cindy said.

Cindy made a carrot cake, but then Sarah made them do five burpees before eating the cake.

“I’m so glad that it will have a space that feels like it reflects what’s inside,” Cindy said.

“Thank you,” Sarah said.
