Personal Trainer Tracy Anderson Talks About Her Famous Client Madonna

Madonna’s personal trainer Tracy Anderson tells The Mirror she doesn’t get bossed around by the famously toned Material Girl as people would believe. “She’s the most docile, sweet, quiet little student,” Tracy revealed. “She’ll follow everything I want. Madonna never slacks off. She’s like a gym nerd.”

As for criticism that Madonna is too old for such a muscular physique, Anderson doesn’t buy it. “As her trainer, what matters is that I like how she looks – and I do. I challenge anybody to see Madonna in person and not want her body. What she’s achieved is not unnatural. If your body looks old at 50, it’s only because you’re not making the effort. Madonna will keep her physique forever because she’ll always keep up my program.”
