A celebrity fitness studio by Tracy Anderson, backed by Gwyneth Paltrow and often visited by her A-list pals such as Madonna, is making its neighbors at the luxury Tribeca building angry over the gym's loud noise and non-stop vibrations, according to a lawsuit.
The board at 408 Greenwich Street is suing the Tracy Anderson Studio in the Manhattan Supreme Court for creating such loud noise and disruptions.
"The classes include 'high-intensity choreography' and unique training tools such as poles, hoops and resistance bands that hang from the ceiling," said the lawsuit. The sound system used in the studio arouses residents in the building as early as 5:45 a.m., Page Six news also reported.
Producer Scarpinito, who resides on the fourth-floor, is the most affected by the loud noise because he lives directly above the third floor where the studio is located.
"The noise and vibrations ... interfere with Mr. Scarpinito's ability to work during the day and cause him to feel physically ill, anxious, frustrated, irritable and angry," said the lawsuit.
The board says that Tracy Anderson and business partner Paltrow have "flatly refused" to tone it down. The studio has a 10-year contract lease that runs through 2018.
The suit asks for an injunction forcing the studio to end the loud noise and disruptions.
According to the New York Daily News celebrity personal trainer Tracy Anderson, whose clients include Gwyneth Paltrow, Kim Kardashian, Kelly Ripa, Jennifer Lopez, and Lena Dunham, makes loud noises of music seven days a week starting at 6 a.m. The owners at 408 Greenwich Street filed a lawsuit Tuesday in the Manhattan Supreme Court.
"The disturbances are so powerful that they reach all the way from the studio, located on the third floor, to the ninth floor," said the lawyer of the building, Eric Sherman, in the court papers.
The court papers say that the loud music used in classes at the Anderson studio accompany "high intensity choreography" classes that involved continuous jumping and the use of training tools such as hoops, poles and resistance bands.
