What it's like to work out at a gym where models and celebs pay up to $1,000 an hour to get fit. via CNBCMakeIt
When personal trainer Kirk Myers moved to New York City in 2010 at age 32, he was starting from scratch.
He even landed Hugh Jackman."It was a referral through two clients I was training," says Myers."They knew his bodyguard. ... And so they introduced me and I trained them one time and they liked it, so then they kept booking sessions."His client base got so big that local gyms started kicking him out. Myers realized he needed to open his own place.
Today, The Dogpound serves about 300 clients. It's a star-studded list: Members include Victoria's Secret models, celebrities like Ryan Seacrest and professional athletes like Conor Dwyer. You have to know an existing client to join — and to get off the 100-person wait list.Since Myers caters his training sessions to the individual client, no workout is the exact same.
A 60-minute private session costs $200 but, if you're working out with Myers, it'll cost you five times that amount. While Myers charges up to $1,000, here are the standard rates and packages for 60-minute sessions at The Dogpound.Semi-private sessions: $125 per personI can't leave The Dogpound without getting in a workout with the celebrity trainer. I tell Myers that I'm a runner and mostly do cardio, but I want to incorporate more strength training into my routine. I also tell him not to hold back.
