We are working for the longevity of performers’ careers through education and action.

Our story

Our founder Hannah Tanner has been working in the fitness industry in New York since 2019. Her experience as a professional dancer paired with her knowledge of exercise led her to see that many dancers have gaps in their training. That’s where The Artist Athlete Collective comes in. Here dancers can focus on strength in a way that compliments and adds to their lives as dancers and doesn’t disrupt or take away from all the incredible work they are already doing. Hannah decided on in person classes to replicate the experience in the studio. Performers are often surrounded by peers and are receiving real time feedback from teachers. T.A.A.C. is meant to replicate this so dancers can feel as confident in the gym setting as they do in the dance studio.

Strength & Conditioning Format

Our current format is strength and conditioning. Everything from bodyweight to barbell work is involved. The goal is to experience a workout that challenges and strengthens the areas that aren’t typically focused on in a dance class but are still very much involved. This is the space to learn about form and weightlifting and most importantly learn more about your own body and how to better care for it. Class is 45 minutes with extra time to cool down post workout.

Class Times

Class times will be more of a pop-up style schedule to adapt to performers schedules for the time being. You can find our current time offerings here on our registration page.

Testimonials

  • "I worked with Hannah twice in my life. First, in person at a gym in NYC, and second during the pandemic through Zoom. My goals were relatively the same both times -- gain strength, feel fitter, and just better about my body and choices. I had always been wary of working with a trainer, as I am someone who easily fixates on goals and is hard on myself if I miss a day. Hannah is warm, encouraging, and deeply invested in her clients. It felt more like being with a friend for an hour and getting through the tough parts of the workout than actual "work". Hannah made me smile and believe in myself. I am proud of how far I've come and continue to use what I've learned from her now on my own. I would recommend Hannah to anyone -- any age or body -- that wants to believe in themselves and feel good. Hannah made me feel like my own champion, and I've grateful for her."

  • “Hannah was able to provide me with exactly what I needed. With great, affordable prices I received a program and support that I needed when I was feeling very unmotivated. She really listened to what I felt I needed and what I liked to do and tailored my program specifically to that. I use the warmups and some of the exercises I learned from Hannah daily and especially for my pre-show warm-ups! She truly helped shape the way I train and the way I can look at my body with grace and understanding. Hannah is such a fantastic coach, I can't recommend her enough!!!”

  • “I say this with confidence that the training with Hannah changed my life. Within just a few weeks of regular sessions, I already started feeling and becoming stronger, healthier and maintaining a higher energy level throughout the days. I always wanted to do weight training but was hesitant in trying. With Hannah's personalized program, now I feel confident in achieving the goals with weights and growing stronger. It still blows my mind, after 1.5 years of training with Hannah, how I am continuously benefiting from this expertly coordinated personalized program in the comfort of my own home!”

  • "Hannah is awesome. Runs a great strength class. Super upbeat and positive and always provides modifications for folks like me that need low impact. I love that she talks about longevity and health as we age - as a middle-aged woman I am primarily weight training to build bone density for the coming decades."

  • "I wanted to give a special shout out to Hannah Tanner. She's been the best combo of infectious energy, excellent class management, checks with the class about injuries and disabilities, and is very careful to walk around a lot and help with modifications and/or fixing form."
