Get a Body Like Heidi, Anne, and Liv! – Exclusive Interview With Celebrity Trainer David Kirsch

Mention the name David Kirsch to, well, just about anyone and you’ll almost immediately garner a response similar to, “oh I just love him”, or “he’s amazing”, or “what I wouldn’t give to train with him!”.  For some reason, people just love this guy!  After having the opportunity to meet with David this past week, I now understand why.  He is by far one of the kindest, most genuine people I’ve ever met.  He embodies a healthy lifestyle and has such a passion for helping others to do the same.

David’s client list reads like a who’s who in Hollywood and includes celebrities like Heidi Klum, Anne Hathaway, Liv Tyler, and many others!  We were fortunate enough to interview David and he was more than willing to share his method for training and even his favorite moves (that he says will get you in shape fast!).  I say if they’re good enough for Heidi, they’re good enough for me!

David, how long have you been a personal trainer?
I have been a personal trainer for over 20 years

Who was your first celebrity client?
My first celebrity client was Ivana Trump, but my first big celebrity client was Heidi Klum

Tell us a little about your training methods and how they’re different from other trainers.
My training philosophy has always centered on the importance of Mind – Body training.  I have perfected body sculpting with my signature moves that make muscles long, lean and sexy.

We know you train average, “normal” people as well as your celebrity clients.  Do you use a different approach or technique with celebrity clients?
My approach applies to celebrities and non-celebrities alike.

What do you see as the biggest obstacle for people who want to lose weight and live healthier?
The biggest obstacle to people that want to live healthier lives and lose weight is often their own fear of success.  People often hide behind their weight and self sabotage their wellness program.  It is important to set realistic goals and map out an intelligent eating and training regimen to avoid failure.

Who has been your most amazing celeb client transformation?
I would have to say working with Heidi Klum after the birth of her second baby, Henry, has been one of the more exciting transformations for me.

We know your gorgeous client Heidi Klum is now expecting her fourth child, do you have any tips for new mothers who want to lose their pregnancy weight?
The biggest tip I have for pregnant women is to make sure they maintain a healthy lifestyle – exercise and nutrition – while they are pregnant.  Once they have given birth, it is important to start moving your body as soon as you have your doctor’s permission.  If you are new to exercise, start with walking and as you get stronger, you can add light weight exercises such as squats, pushups and crunches

What are your clients’ biggest concerns when they start training with you?
The biggest concern my clients have when they start training with me is whether they are going to be able to compete the entire hour of training.  Once we start, they are motivated and inspired to push through to places they didn’t think they could.

What’s your favorite new fitness or health product?
My favorite new health product is one of my new products called Muscle Restore.  They are all natural orange flavored branched chain amino acids that help build lean muscle and energize your workout.

What’s the one “must-have move” for shaping up fast (and making us all look like Heidi! ) ?
Any one of my signature moves – Sumo Lunge, Platypus Walk or Crab Crawl are great for toning and sculpting quickly.
