Fitness Guru in Hometown Hot Water

An Indiana Pilates instructor has her clients stretching their hands out, trying to get money ---after running off to Hollywood to handle clients like Madonna and Gwyneth.

The Indianapolis Star reports that fitness-guru-to-the-stars Tracy Anderson left many of her Fishers Crossing, Indiana, clients high and dry when she left the town for Hollywood. Clueless clients reported showing up for class this past May to find a note posted on the studio door announcing that the space was closed for equipment maintenance and repairs, but the studio never re-opened. And, says the paper, the workout wunderkind left town without refunding clients for pre-paid classes.

Anderson's lawyer, Jack Hittle, says that his clientis offering to pay her former customers 75 percent of the amount of their claims, but many are still falling off their stair climbers in anger.

This is not the first time that Pilates princess has been in legal trouble. In 2005, she was ordered to pay $450,000 to past landlords. Anderson filed bankruptcy to avoid paying their judgment. Last year a former student of Anderson's filed a $100,000 lawsuit against her and that legal action is still pending.

And the fitness diva's failure to pay up in a previous lawsuit resulted her being jailed briefly in December of last year.

Anderson is currently the target of an investigation by the consumer protection division of the Indiana attorney general's office.

The difference between the "Hollywood" version of this woman and the mugshot is amazing. Just another tacky, ugly bitch. God, is this woman ugly!

Speaking of dumb blondes...so why is it that we can't post to that fabulous Kimmie Stewart series? Is it because the comments that have been posted thus far were largely negative and McDonald's is dying of embarrassment? Or is it because they're so freakin' BORING that people have all fallen asleep?

She will take those Celebrity's for all she can get, She didn't move fast enough. which brings to question her work out regimes.

The not so flexable con artist is nickle & dimeing her way to jail.

Fishers Client:  1667 days ago

Thanks to TMZ for reporting on this. I was offered a settlement only 60%of what I was owed, not 75% and was told that I should receive the check in three business days. It has now been one week and no check...

Dd, here's my reply to your comment -

12. Why is it, these stupid girls, who have everything going for them, F-up? Just throw everything away, over idiotic-moves.

The only thing women have going for them is deception. She was an "artist" from the start. She felt she deserved a better life without working and opened a shop with the intention of commtting fraud..."equipment maintenance and repair." Her 5 seconds are over.
Bankruptcy stays on your record for 7-10, $100,000 and she will probably has a felony(s) on her record shortly. She's a James Dean...Trick Yitch!!

But do not fear, the bills always come due and lies will only make the journey longer in the end. It's nice to see justice being done in this country...keep the stories coming TMZ :-)
