Early life and career

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]
