Tracy Anderson on the makeup, books — and yes, even wine — she swears by

Swimsuit season is nigh, but never fear: Tracy Anderson is here to make you sweat. The celebrity fitness pioneer and creator of the “Tracy Anderson Method” — whose devotees include Gwyneth Paltrow, Jennifer Lopez, Victoria Beckham, as well as acolytes in 50 countries — is back in the Hamptons with several new offerings. Her airy Water Mill and East Hampton studios will unveil an intermediate “FundamenTAl” class, while those who prefer to feel the burn at home can try the online “PER4MANCE Program,” designed to balance body, mind and soul. On June 8, Anderson will co-host the annual School’s Out benefit in the Hamptons, which supports the Hetrick-Martin Institute and LGBTQ youth. Here, Anderson shares the pieces that keep her moving.

“While I am a regular Goop shopper, Gwyneth actually sent me this sweater for my birthday this year. Of course, she has the best taste, and it’s proven in the fact that I wear this sweater at least twice every week. With jeans or sweats or a pencil skirt, it knows no boundaries, and I love it!”

G. Label “Jennifer” cashmere sweater, $595 at Goop.

“Sometimes I even stream myself. When I’m not teaching or traveling, I still need to get my workouts in. And believe it or not, my head doesn’t always want to create. I love to stream along with all of the other incredible champions around the world. Feeling plugged in to people showing up in 50 countries is such a great feeling.”

Online studio classes, $90 per month at Tracy Anderson.

“I drink, but I only drink wine. This pinot noir is always stocked at my house. It’s priced super friendly for the taste and never a headache. It’s kind of like when you say to someone that you love their outfit, and they say they got it at Zara.”
