January 19, 201114 yr Author Tracy is not convinced by Madonna's Gyms Madonna's former trainer Tracy Anderson is not happy with Madonna opening her own gyms. Britain's magazine Star quotes Tracy saying: "I knew she was going to be doing it, I could put my name on a gym and put them all over the world if I wanted to, but that would be irresponsible to what I do. I think we all know when a celebrity is going to do something that is in an industry that they''re not in, they''re just doing an endorsement and that''s fine. But I think that you wouldn''t want to go to a man who plays a doctor on TV to get prescribed something, would you?" As a background story Madonna had Anderson as her trainer for 3 years and they parted ways in 2009. Source: Star magazine

Both the Moscow and St. Petersburg location will be in partnership with Irina Razumova, founder of the well-known Russian chain Planet Fitness. “We are honored to collaborate with Madonna and her team in designing and developing a beautiful facility like no other in the world,” stated Razumova. NeV’s Mastrov, his partner Jim Rowley, along with Madonna and Guy Oseary are also exploring options of building additional Hard Candy locations in Italy, United Kingdom, Canada, France, Australia, Argentina, and Brazil, for facilities that will offer a unique member experience. Hard Candy Fitness Centers will include state of the art equipment, exclusive curriculum along with Mind Body Studio, The Great Wall, Sculpting, barre3, a Bike Studio, Capoeira, the newest trends in Yoga, a Juice Bar/Café and lavish locker rooms. “The early success of the first Hard Candy Fitness Center in Mexico City - where Madonna taught a dance class to members at the opening - has inspired us all to create similar facilities and seek out local partnerships around the globe which embody Madonna’s workout philosophy. St. Petersburg and other locations of Hard Candy Fitness will be a place where members will enjoy their workout experience in a beautiful environment in each city,” commented Mastrov. Due to tremendous interest and the many inquiries NeV has received from all over the world about Hard Candy Fitness Centers, fans have been asked to voice their choice for the next location by going to www.madonna.com/hardcandyfitness and vote on the interactive map for your dream location.
