MYMODE Content

The length of the workout varies per mode. 

  • Genesis, the beginner mode, is 30 minutes.
  • Refresh, the intermediate mode, is 45 minutes.
  • Primal and Peak, the two advanced modes, are 60 minutes.

MYMODE is a new level of movement. While Tracy strongly believes in the power of the mat class, MYMODE expands the potential of your practice. With four planes of movement and a new universe of content, this program creates space for next-level results like nothing else. It’s a new evolution of the tried and true Tracy Anderson Method.

Your MYCOACH will be able to inform you on how to integrate the content based on your personal needs. You will still have access to all MYMODE content and the Online Studio to receive the ultimate results.

Yes. Founding members will enjoy group Zoom sessions with Tracy twice a month. During these meetings, she will walk you through the program, break down her content and research, and celebrate the collective MYMODE journey.

There are very few programs or sections of programs that are just on all fours. The MYMODE was created to be used in all of its levels. For mat work, the Online Studio classes will continue to be available and uploaded as per usual.


MYMODE MYCOACH

Great question. Though your coach will not be training you during the workout, they will be there to answer your questions and help guide you through navigating the content. They will also help you track results, and provide a tutorial of the MYMODE apparatus and content. The coaches will be available every day for any and all questions, concerns, and thoughts.

Yes–this is custom coaching. The coach will address individual needs in both one-on-one settings and community meetings.

Yes. It’s important to us that you benefit from the knowledge, trust, and growth that you get from consistent coaching.

Yes. A quick disclaimer: your coach is not a nutritionist, and will therefore not be able to provide detailed dietary recommendations based on your body. That being said, your coach will be there to help you reach your goals, and give healthy tips based on the Method and recipes from Tracy Anderson Magazine.


The MYMODE Apparatus

Breakdown: The staff alone is 3lbs. MYMODE also includes 5lb plates, the ankle weights provided are between 2-2.5lbs and the hand weights provided are approximately 4lbs. With everything inside, the box weighs 65lbs.Dimensions: 26.5 x 14 x 12 inches.

The staff is 64-1/2″ long and 1-1/2″ in diameter, 3-1/4 lb. It unscrews into three pieces to fit into the box. The ball ends un-screw and can be swapped with the “weight adapter” end, which allows you to attach one or two 5 lb weight plates.

The wood on the staff, anchor, hand weights, and the outsides of the box are coated in food grade mineral oil for protection. This is commonly known as “butcher block oil” and is used on wood countertops, butcher blocks, and rolling pins. 

Clean with a damp cloth when you feel you need to, and re-apply oil about once a year, or more often if you feel it is drying out. Wipe on a liberal amount, let it soak in for 20 minutes, then wipe away excess. For more detailed instructions, check out this informational guide and 6 tips on maintaining wooden materials.


MYMODE Subscription

Your account will be credited to cover the cost of an Online Studio subscription for 1 year.

If you are an Online Studio or Online Studio + TA LIVE subscriber, you will receive a credit in your account equivalent to one year of your subscription.

There are no separate MYMODE prices. All clients pay the same price.
