If you've ever paid a visit to celebrity trainer Tracy Anderson's workout space in Studio City, you know it's not like other gyms. The trainers are all, in Anderson's words, teeny-tiny, there are colorful elastic bands hanging from the ceiling and when you inquire about membership, you find that there's a wait list. That's why we were surprised to see that year-long open memberships to the fitness facility are up for grabs right now on Gilt City. The fee, normally a whopping $8,700, has been cut to a still-kind-of-bonkers $7,395.

Celebrities like Gwyneth Paltrow and Nicole Richie swear by Anderson, and other stars such as Lindsey Price, Neil Patrick Harris and Ashley Greene are often photographed exiting the studio sweaty-faced. Paltrow actually goes as far as to say that Anderson completely reshaped her body, turning her "saggy" and "square" behind into something more rounded and lifted. Now you can get a sense of the price tag for that overhaul.
