The singer is accompanied by Kirk Myers about 10 years ago and the professional praised his client's work ethic and willingness to persist, regardless of how “challenging” her sessions were.
“It's really difficult, some people would probably vomit or have to lie down on the floor if they trained like her…”, the professional told Vogue.
“Taylor is the most resilient person I have ever met. It's super inspiring to see her consistently overcome obstacles and become better and stronger,” she continued.
“This is also reflected in your training and throughout your exercises. Give her a difficult exercise or a challenging workout, not only can she complete and overcome it, but she also perseveres, moving on to the next exercise. This, in the end, makes you stronger, better and faster,” he added.
Kirk – who has also worked with stars such as Hugh Jackman, Tom Holland, Kaia Gerber and Karlie Kloss – helped Taylor prepare for her acclaimed tour, 'The Eras Tour', as if she were a “professional athlete”, with sessions of two hours, six times a week, during breaks from his concerts.
“It’s personalized. We approached her training for the Eras tour with the mindset of a professional athlete. There was an 'off-season stage,' for when she wasn't on tour, and an 'in-season stage,' for when she was,” he said.
“When she's not on tour, we're in the gym up to six days a week, sometimes for up to two hours a day,” he continued.
“Taylor trained throughout the tour. We trained on average twice a week. The training [durante a turnê] it was more about maintenance, so it was more focused on stability, mobility, biomechanics”, he concluded.
The personal worked with Amin Javid, a chiropractic doctor, to implement recovery techniques for the 34-year-old singer.
“If you've seen the show, you know how physically intense it is. Imagine doing this three, four days in a row and then finally having a few days off and still showing up at the gym. Taylor is like that,” he said.
