Paltrow to launch global gym business

Actress Gwyneth Paltrow is teaming up with her personal trainer to launch a worldwide chain of gyms.

'The Shakespeare in Love' star has previously produced and directed an exercise video for Tracy Anderson - who also trains Madonna - and Paltrow appears in promotional material for Anderson's gyms in Los Angeles and New York.

Now the business-minded duo are teaming up once more to build a chain of gyms across Europe, Asia and Australia.

A source told the Mail on Sunday: "Tracy and Gwyneth are out to make some serious money. She (Gwyneth) is convinced the studios will be a huge success."
