Stella's Gym
Courtney Cox, Shakira, Gisele Bündchen and of course Gwyneth Paltrow. They all do the quite unconventional Tracy Anderson Method. The method involves exercises that look like nothing you'll ever see in a normal gym and promotes lots of reps with no weights or just tiny ones. According to Tracy, that's how you target the small muscles, which she calls "accessory muscles." Activate those with her "strategic sequencing" and she promises everybody the physique of a teeny tiny dancer.
In 2008, when Tracy Anderson just started making a name for herself in the international fitness industry by being the personal trainer of Gwyneth Paltrow, Stella McCartney and Madonna, Adidas invited me to attend the Adidas by Stella McCartney show at the London Fashion Week and to interview Tracy Anderson as their new Adidas by Stella McCartney personal trainer.
The show turned out not to be a regular runway show, but an energetic, sport performance presentation at ‘Stella’s Gym’. Trampolines, treadmills, jump ropes, tennis and a workout with Tracy's body band system.

Tracy's body band system is quite interesting, but how accessible is it to the average person? Are there others that are teaching this method or is she the only one? If I could, I would love to try it out! Perhaps learn some new techniques to incorporate in my own training.
