A Los Angeles gym slammed reports that superstar couple Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce left members outside after taking over the place for a private workout.
The Dogpound in West Hollywood hit back on Wednesday about the “narrative” following headlines that the 34-year-old singer and Kansas City Chiefs star had reportedly shut down the Los Angeles gym, leaving clients outside for a length of time during their training sessions.
“Dogpound is a by-appointment establishment,” the statement to TMZ read. “We value members’ experience and have never had anyone wait outside for 2 hours.”
“The narrative running in the media does not accurately reflect circumstances,” the statement added. “We respect the privacy of our clients.”
The statement came after an eyewitness told the Daily Mail that on Sunday, members of the Dogpound gym were seen waiting “outside for two hours until” Swift and Kelce completed their workouts.

Photos later surfaced on TMZ and in other outlets showing the outside of the gym with a bunch of people standing outside on the curb, looking on their phones, and just waiting around.
TMZ noted that sources familiar with the gym said the people seen wearing workout clothes standing outside the gym were in fact employees who have to leave the when Swift comes by to workout. It added that this is standard operating procedures for the “Blank Space” hitmaker, whose workouts last an hour.
Dogpound later issued a statement to Page Six specifically mentioning the Daily Mail article.

“The Daily Mail article does not accurately reflect the circumstances that day,” the statement read. “We respect the privacy of our clients and have no other comments to share.”
The “Love Story” hitmaker and NFL star recently got back from a vacation to the Bahamas. Photos have surfaced online showing the two holding hands, kissing in the water, and just enjoying themselves as Swift is currently on a break from her worldwide “The Eras Tour” until May, when the European leg of the tour starts.
“It was a much-needed break for both of them,” a source recently told People of their trip. “They very much enjoyed it. They are so happy together.”
Kelce and Swift have been spotted together all over L.A. recently as the two have been spending time together while the Chiefs star gets to have some fun in the offseason.
The “Shake It Off” hitmaker and Kansas City tight end have been linked together since last summer.
It was previously believed the two had their first date after she attended his game on September 24. However, Swift later made it clear their relationship started weeks before and they were a couple by the time she went to his first game, as previously reported.
