Tracy Anderson isn’t sweating claims of ‘chaos’ at her Hamptons workout studios
“A Business Insider report claims says there’s a catty class war brewing at Tracy Anderson’s Water Mill and Sag Harbor studios between members — who pay a $900 monthly fee — and non-members. As noted in the BI article, the $900-a-month membership is a “status symbol akin to owning a waterfront home in Southampton or nabbing an invite to the billionaire Michael Rubin’s annual White Party.”
The article says that in one skirmish, a member demanded that a regular weights class be “changed” into a dance class and that the gym complied, despite the protests of non-members who started a petition to have it switched back.
Meanwhile, it claims those who don’t cough up a $5,500 annual “mat fee” — which allows customers to reserve a spot in class — risk getting “screamed at” if they accidentally pick a reserved place.”
“You can’t just work out; you can’t just enjoy it,” a former Hamptons trainer told BI. “There’s always drama.”
But it seems Anderson isn’t letting the kerfuffle harsh her endorphin high. Her spokesman Steven Beltrani tells Page Six, “This has been our smoothest and most successful summer in the Hamptons as we’ve continued to grow and elevate our client experiences.”
He added, “The consistent high demand year-over-year is both humbling and greatly appreciated by all of us at Tracy Anderson.”
