How does a professional dancer, who got her first gig aboard a Royal Caribbean cruise ship to über exotic ports like Mozambique, wind up as the body double for Angelina Jolie in Lara Croft: Tomb Raider?
Meet Tracie Hendricks, a self-professed “risk taker” with an edgy sense of style and seriously killer biceps. Her class at Crunch, called “The Ride,” is sensory, sweaty and an opportunity for quality self-reflection–with the studio lit only by a sparkly disco ball overhead.
Why she’s different: She brings her contemporary dance background to cycling, with fluid movements and enviable posture on and off the bike. She exclusively trained billionaire and one-time heir to Harrods retail empire Dodi Fayed and then-girlfriend model Kelly Fisher at a private home on the Champs-Élysées. She was at the Ritz Paris for Gianni Versace’s final runway show in 1997.
Labels she loves: Balenciaga, Lanvin and Maison Martin Margiela (clearly, a high fashion girl, at heart). Tracie is also the head of retail for Robin’s Jean, bringing her rock ‘n roll chic sensibility to the biker-inspired denim brand on Grand Street in Soho.
Fitness motto: “Live it, love it, own it. It’s yours.”
