Travis Kelce trainer makes pitch for Taylor Swift to join workouts

Travis Kelce is expected back in Boca Raton this offseason for an eight-week workout stint with his longtime training guru, Andrew Spruill.

But this time there could be a wrinkle. Spruill, a 2012 Florida Atlantic graduate who majored in exercise science, hopes Kelceā€™s girlfriend can be part of some sessions

Spruill, who grew up in Kansas, has been connected with Kelce since training him in Boca Raton for the 2013 NFL Combine. Kelce, the 34-year-old superstar tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs, has spent seven of his 11 NFL offseasons renting a house for two months in Boca to work with Spruill.

ā€œAccording to him, heā€™s coming back,ā€™ā€™ Spruill said. ā€œI went up for two games to go see him. I trust heā€™ll be back, especially if he wants to keep playing at the age he is. He needs to get in the gym and make sure heā€™s ready.ā€™ā€™

Spruill met Kelceā€™s girlfriend, Taylor Swift, after both games this season at a post-game party. They chatted, but Spruill has yet to offer his services to the singing icon. The 39-year-old Spruill, who once served in the Air Force based in Germany, feels he can help Swift maintain her performance stamina.

At FAU, after the Air Force stint, Spruill interned at XPE Sports, which worked solely with college players prepping for the draft combine.

Spruill stuck with XPE after graduation. He estimates working with about 500 combine participants. Kelce, who attended Cincinnati, stuck with Spruill once his NFL career started with the Chiefs.

ā€œThe whole Kansas connection was coincidental,ā€™ā€™ Spruill said. ā€œWe were lucky to establish a good relationship a
