Gym Gossip: Details on Tracy Anderson and Gwyneth’s Gym

Last January when asked if you would want to join Gwyneth’s gym she was planning to open with her trainer Tracy Anderson , most of you were not swayed by the celebrity affiliation. Well, the inner workings of the gym have been revealed, and for starters it is not a gym - it’s a studio. Let’s start with the cost of joining the gym studio. The initiation fee ranges from $790 for a six-month membership to $1,500 for a full year. The monthly fees are $900 a month. For that hefty price, you can choose from 85 classes offered weekly , featuring cardio dance aerobics, which Gwyneth described by saying , “It’s fun because it’s not like you’re running mindlessly on a treadmill.” And running is something Tracy thinks you should never do, since she believes running creates too much bulk on your backside, and “a bulked-up bottom is not a pretty one.” But I digress. To see what else you get for $900, read more. Unfortunately, Anderson will not be taking on clients at the Tribeca studio. She splits her training time between the two stars that made her famous, business partner Gwyneth and Madonna, whom Tracy and staff refer to as M. However, members will receive personalized attention from her staff. Every member receives a customized program every 10 days, which is good since it is recommended that you work out at for at least 30 minutes, but preferably 60 minutes, six days a week. Whatever you do, don’t supplement Tracy’s work with yoga. Tracy wants your undivided attention, and has forbidden her star clients to practice yoga. If you cannot make it to the Tracy Anderson Studio, you can try her method with a free mini webisode . Since the gym is out of my budget, I think I am gonna head out for a run. What about you?
