Who is Taylor Swift’s personal trainer Kirk Myers? The Dogpound founder said ‘some people will probably throw up’ if they trained like her, and he also helps Hugh Jackman and Kaia Gerber get fit
Now her fitness instructor is revealing the secrets behind her most intense workouts. In an interview with Vogue, Kirk Myers, the man who trains the pop superstar, said, “some people would probably throw up or have to lay down on the floor if they trained like her.”
“It’s tailored,” he recently told Vogue. “We approached her training for the Eras Tour with the mindset like a professional athlete. There was an ‘off-season’ when she wasn’t touring and ‘in-season’ when she was.”
Swift, like many pop singers who go on tour, has to train vigorously to get to the condition she’s in today. Here’s what we know about her supportive trainer:

He went through a drastic transformation
According to his profile on the gym’s website, he was born and raised in Kansas City and struggled with obesity and heart failure at an early age, prompting him to overcome his obstacles and inspire others.
He once shared a collage of his transformation on Instagram, comparing how he looked when he was 16 years old and weighing 136kg to now. “Back then I was surrounded by people who were super supportive and positive and within 2 years I lost 130 + lbs and overcame both my heart disease and weight challenges” he wrote in his caption. “Today I am the luckiest person on the planet.”
He’s collaborated with luxury fashion brands
Thanks to his high profile, Myers has even worked with high fashion brands such as Balmain, creating a pair of training shoes with the label in 2021. He discussed the collaboration in an interview with The House Magazine in 2022.

We all need some down time of course, and Myers has his own version of a good R&R sesh. In his interview with The House Magazine, he shared how he likes to unwind with some spa time. “I would probably go to a spa/hotel right in the heart of NYC for a staycation/weekend,” he told the magazine. “I love massages, sauna, manicures, pedicures, meditation, and just getting to relax in a quiet space.”
