But even during the in season, things were on: “Taylor trained during the entire tour. We would average two times a week. In-season training was more about maintenance, and so it was more like stability, mobility, biomechanics.” Myers worked with Amin Javid, DC, an L.A.-based chiropractic physician, to implement recovery techniques. “If you’ve seen the show, you know how intense it is physically. Imagine doing that three, four days in a row and then you finally have a few off days and you’re still showing up to gym. That’s Taylor.”
How to Get Fit Like Taylor Swift
If you’re in New York or Los Angeles, you can get a Dogpound membership to help you reach your goals and literally train like Taylor. Her time spent in the gym was all “strength and conditioning”—while Swift did cardio on her own. “One thing that’s important to focus on when you’re working on your core strength is actually breathing,” Myers advises. “I know it’s outside the box, but fully breathing through workouts helps strengthen your core.”
“Taylor is the most resilient person I have ever met,” Myers adds. “It’s super-inspiring to see her consistently overcome obstacles and become better and stronger in the end. This also translates into her training and throughout her workouts. I give her a difficult exercise or challenging workout, not only is she able to complete and push through it—but she also perseveres, moving forward into the next exercise. This ultimately makes her stronger, better, and faster.”
On How He and Taylor Met
“It’s not really that exciting of a story,” Myers says humbly. “We met through friends, though I can’t say what friend.” And yes, he was already a fan. Some of his favorite songs include “Shake It Off,” “22” and “If I Were a Man.” “I’ve never intentionally played her music while we are training, but I love it, so yes at times it’s come on the playlist.”
Kirk Myers’s Other Celebrity Clients
Hugh Jackman may have been Myers’s first celebrity client, but he certainly wasn’t his last. Dogpound regular Fabien Baron actually designed the gym’s logo; models Adriana Lima, Jasmine Tookes, Kaia Gerber, and Karlie Kloss all have trained with him; as well as Tom Holland, Jacob Elordi, Patrick Schwarzenegger, and Eva Longoria.
