Tracy Anderson launches a luxe line of workout leggings for Edition01
Anderson's legging models include celeb devotees, from Jenni Konner, writer and executive producer of HBO's "Girls" (far left) and Sally Pressman of "Army Wives" (second from left)
Today, dance-cardio guru (and branding genius) Tracy Anderson adds “fashion designer” to her resume. The celeb fitness trainer joins the roster of designers from Zac Posen and Thakoon, whose limited-edition luxe pieces are exclusively sold on Edition01.
Don’t expect Maxi dresses for summer. Anderson’s collection is devoted to workout leggings—and they’re not one-size-fits-all.
Each pair is designed to support the four body types that the celebrity trainer’s Metamorphosis program identifies and targets with specific workouts.
For example, if you’re Glutecentric, according to Anderson’s program, the leggings give additional support and compression to the glutes, hips, and butt during the workout. The Hipcentric tights have a hidden double layer to hold in outer thighs, while the Abcentric pair have a strong band to hold in the lower stomach and a slightly higher rise. Finally, the Omnicentric have elastic mesh paneling at the thigh, waist, and knee.
“The leggings are designed for your body type,” explains Anderson on Edition01, “and as you work on your problem areas through the workouts, the legging will help with the rest.”
Hopefully your wallet’s in good shape to help with the fittingly luxurious price: Each pair is $125. —Sharon Feiereisen

I know this is a little after the fact, it’s September and the post was written in June, but I wanted to comment on the tights anyways. I bought all of the styles, figuring I’d keep one pair and return the others, I just wanted to find out how they all fit. After waiting for about two months to get them, as they were on pre-sale, I can’t tell you how disappointed I was… in everything. The quality of the fabric is terrible (see through), the construction is awful (every stitched cracked when I pulled the tights on), the style lines are ridiculous – why is there stitching going right across the knee caps of the hip centric pant? the “strong band” of the abcentric pant is incredibly scratchy and way too big for the size small tights I ordered. The band didn’t hug me in, it sort of hung there… the legs on the pants, however, were so tight i could barely walk. The “strategically placed seams” on the glutecentric pant looked like I had panty lines, and the mesh also made it hard to walk. I’d never leave the house in any of these tights. Needless to say, I returned all of the pants. I would like to know two things 1. Has anyone else tried these and liked/hated them and 2. Did anyone at Tracy Anderson or Edition01 tried theses on or looked at them… b/c maybe they should reevaluate selling the product.
