Kirk Myers

Kirk Myers is the founder and CEO of Dogpound, an in-demand personal training gym with locations in New York City and Los Angeles. Known for its high-profile clientele and unique training approach, Dogpound has become a staple in the fitness industry.

Myers' journey into the world of fitness began after a personal health scare in his early twenties. Diagnosed with congestive heart failure and weighing over 300 pounds, he decided to make a dramatic lifestyle change. Myers' transformation was nothing short of remarkable, shedding over 130 pounds through dedicated exercise and a healthy diet.

His passion for fitness led Myers to become a personal trainer, where his inspirational story and effective training methods quickly garnered attention. In 2015, he founded Dogpound in New York City, creating a space that combined intense, tailored workouts with a sense of community and motivation. The gym's success was fueled by word-of-mouth from satisfied clients, many of whom are celebrities, athletes, and high-profile individuals, and expanded to Los Angeles. He has worked as a personal trainer for celebrity clients, including Taylor Swift, Justin Bieber, Adam Levine, Hugh Jackman, Gerard Butler, and many Victoria's Secret models. Myers' focus on personalized training and a holistic approach to health continues to inspire others, driven by his personal transformation story and unwavering commitment to helping clients achieve their best physical selves.

Myers is deeply committed to charitable endeavors, using his platform to give back to the community. He co-founded The Great Youth Movement, an organization that collaborates with local non-profits to create engaging activities and events aimed at raising awareness and funds for initiatives that empower youth.
