Colombian pop star Shakira’s music video for her early hit masterfully showcases her toned and sleek body. A great woman behind this great woman helped her achieve this fabulous fitness. In her studio based in the US state of Connecticut, Kaiser is very much the star of the show.

She still trains Shakira, who has been her loyal client for 14 years, along with singer-songwriter Alicia Keys, actress and talk-show host Kelly Ripa and other celebrities. Thousands of other clients join her sought-after training programme in person and online. Her Instagram account, @theannakaiser, has more than 288,000 followers.



The mother of two is bouncing with positive energy when I arrive at the Manhattan studio for a chat ahead of her class. She rolls a yoga ball across for me to sit on in the wooden-floored studio, which is full of sunlight and flecked with light reflected from disco balls hanging from the ceiling. Those balls are a feature here; and mirror Kaiser’s infectious sense of fun.

“It was always my goal to deliver everything you need in one place, for mind, body and spirit, while fusing the fun and celebratory spirit of dance with the efficiency of training,” says Kaiser, who was a professional dancer and choreographer for 20 years before setting up Anna Kaiser Studio. Kaiser’s approach is “taking the guesswork out of weekly workouts” by offering a one-stop shop, everything one needs for a well-rounded workout over the course of the week. It’s not just for celebrit.
