What may constitute a bad week for celebrity personal trainer Tracy Anderson started out with dismissal as Madonna's personal trainer and then getting slapped with a lawsuit by an ex-lover, saying she PT conned him out of $1M bucks.

The ex-boyfriend Glynn Barber claims that after a one-year love stint with Anderson, he was manipulated into investing a fortune into her fitness regime.

Barber seemed to be under the agreement that funds would be repaid but when Anderson didn't flip a penny or offer to dice up the proftis, Barber had to file for bankruptcy and is ravaging Anderson's reputation in the media.

On top of dispelling the lies about Anderson as being a reputable personal trainer, her ex says the celeb fitness gal lied about being a Power Ranger and appearing on Broadway.

Spilling the beans to New York's PageSix, Barber claimed Anderson is a magical manipulator.

“She used her female charms to manipulate me to invest $1 million in her company," he confessed.

“I was an easy target. She told me she was a Power Ranger. She told me she was in the musical Cats for four years. She said her ex-husband, Eric, played for the Knicks…" Barber said in a rumble.

Not to mention, Barber's claims to be a little upset over not getting credit for Madonna's exercise equipment.

"I made Madonna’s fitness equipment for $13,000 and Tracy sold it to her for $26,000. She made a fortune from using Madonna’s name.”

While Anderson continues to deny all claims in court papers. Not to mention, she's also busy brushing off rumors that claim she was fired by Madonna, insisting the conclusion to the relationship was "mutual".

After standing up Madonna on two occasions to travel with the Holiday hitmaker, falling in love with her charity president and getting sued by her ex-boy toy, Tracy Anderson has more to workout than just her fit body.
