11:34 AM PT — We’ve gotten some much-needed clarification on what exactly is happening at the gym Taylor Swift frequents whenever she drops in for a workout — and while it’s not nearly as dramatic as it was made out to be … she does, in fact, get special treatment when she’s there.
A rep for Dogpound tells TMZ … “Dogpound is a by-appointment establishment. 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. We respect the privacy of our clients.” On the issue of who these people outside were, they wouldn’t say.
Lucky for us, we found the answer another way … sources familiar with this gym tell us that several of the folks pictured in workout attire are actually Dogpound employees — whom, we’re told, do have to get out when Taylor swings by to get some exercise.
