Tracy Anderson is the trainer of Madonna and Gwyneth Paltrow

Tracy Anderson's unique method and unparalleled results have caugt the attention of countless women, including Gwyneth Paltrow and Madonna, who have been woking exclusively with Tracy for nearly two years. She is currently traveling the world with Maddona during her Sticky and Sweet Tour and is constantly developing new moves, routines, and techniques to ensure that her method stays fresh.

At this time, Tracy has a studio in Los Angeles and hopes to open more locations both nationally and internationally (beginning in New York City). Clients at her studio have access to her Hybrid Body Reformer and new band system.

In order to bring the Tracy Anderson Method to the masses, Tracy has released DVD's that feature her signature workouts. In 2007, she released Tracy Anderson's Dance Aerobics. In September 2008, she will be releasing three new workouts: the Dance Cardio DVD, the Mat Workout DVD, and the Post-Pregnancy Workout DVD.

At 5'0", with a dad like Danny DeVito, Tracy often felt that her body was genetically doomed to a lifetime of bulkiness. This fear hit home at age 18 when she went to New York City to become a dancer. In New York, she experienced a large weight gain and heard time and time again "beautiful technique, wonderful performance, just fix that body
And you have a serious career ahead of you." The question was how? None of the conventional forms of fitness seemed to work for her.

Tracy began searching for any way to get the type of body she wanted but felt she wasn't genetically predetermined to have. Inspired by visionary dancers, she began to experiment and create her own workout methods, leading to a complete transformation of her own body. This emotional journey stuck with her and it became her life's work. After she achieved her own a thin, healthy body that she was proud of, she began to wonder if she could do this for others.

Tracy set out testing women of all different shapes, sizes, problem areas, and weakness to find out if it is possible to take a woman from any genetic background and transform her body. Her studies began with detailed research including work with physicians to biopsy muscles. Soon after, she developed a computer software program to help her reach the muscular design goals she created for each client. "I found out that everyone is really like a snowflake, and we can't group body types to get results that hit a home run," says Tracy.

After ten yeats of extensive research based on these principles, Tracy designed the Hybrid Body Reformer (HBR), the only machine with an infinite moving pulley system that targets the muscles from many different angles and allows for an infinite number of different moves. Her work, a hybrid of movement, has been designed to actually reengineer the muscular structure. She has created more than 2,800 moves for the Cirque du Soleil-type moves, so even if you can't dance, you can have the same body as a dancer.

Tracy's philosophy is "If you want a runner's butt, then run. If you want a dancer's body, dance. If you want to fight age skin elasticity issues and problem areas, you have to design your muscular structure to help you accomplish that. Your muscles are manipulative and your body will react to what you put in it and how you use it."

According to Tracy, most gym programs over-work major muscle groups: "Anytime you are doing the same movement over and over you are building and bulking your muscles. It is very important to change your rotations and hit your muscles form different angles so that you are strengthening your accessory muscles and not overusing your large muscle groups."

When the accessory muscles are properly developed, they pull in the larger muscles, creating a tinier body structure. Because the muscles are smart and adapt quickly, constantly changing their workout routine keeps them shifting and responding; therefore, you become stronger without bulking.

In addition to the HBR, Tracy has also developed several other never-before-seen techniques to strengthen the accessory muscles, including a band system, which consists of eight elastic bands, each with varying amount of resistance. One type of band system involves bands that are connected to the ceiling and the other type involves bands that are connected to the floor. Tracy has choreographed carefully sequenced routines for clients to perform while using the bands. The system can be used as a toning method and it can also serve as an apparatus for cardiovascular workouts. When combined with Tracy's other routines, the band system creates a suction effect on the muscles, which pull the skin and create a smooth skin tone. The system is highly effective and is available for clients to use at Tracy Anderson Studios in Los Angeles.
