Pilates Instructor and Teacher for 30 years

Tracy Anderson was first certified in the Pilates Method in 1993 by one of the original elders, Romana Kryzanoska. Romana was a student of Joseph and Clara Pilates at their Eight Avenue studio in New York after injuring her ankle dancing at the School of American Ballet. After the passing of Joseph and Clara, Romana would later run The Pilates Studio and helped initiate the first certification program within the Pilates community. This is where Tracy Anderson fell in love with the gift of the Classical Pilates Method, as she worked under the guidance of Romana to rehabilitate her own shattered foot and start her career as an instructor.

Tracy Anderson has taught and initiated Pilates programs from upstate New York, Chicago, and Austin, Texas. She has assisted in national Pilates training seminars, featured in two commercials, and was filmed in a documentary for Romana Kryzanowska. She is well known for getting her clients to feel the science of the exercise through her hands-on approach and creative queuing.

Her favorite accomplishment is inspiring seven of her past clients to get certified as instructors. In 1998, she was asked to become a teacher trainer under the guidance of Juanita Lopez and Romana Kryzanowska but decided it was not the time to pursue that dream as she had a newborn daughter on her hands. Now at the age of 53, having raised three children and experienced 30 years of learning, teaching, and practicing the Pilates Method, she continues her practice and education on a weekly and yearly basis.
