Tracy Anderson (born March 3, 1975)[1] is an American fitness entrepreneur and author. She is best known for her Tracy Anderson Method and for having various celebrity clients.[2][3][4]
The daughter of dance instructor Diana Ephlin,[5] Anderson trained in dance from an early age in Noblesville, Indiana. She initially hoped to become a professional dancer in New York City. After a 40 lb. weight gain during her first year in New York City, Anderson switched her focus to weight loss/fitness training as a career. Anderson has gym locations in Los Angeles, New York City, The Hamptons, Spain and London and has a DVD collection for at-home training. In 2015, Tracy Anderson launched an online fitness program called TA Video Streaming. Each week, subscribers receive new workouts filmed in real-time at one of her studios. The online streaming workouts are divided into beginner (sTArt), intermediate (fundamenTAl) and advanced (atTAin). [citation needed]
She issued a pregnancy workout DVD collection aimed at women in the pre-and-postnatal periods.[6]
Critical reviews
In an April 2015 article in The Washington Post, personal trainer Kat Whitfield asserts that Anderson's methods "certainly don’t follow exercise physiology principles."[7]
