Lagree Fitness class at Studio Physique using Megaformer machines

The Workout!

 

How the Lagree Method Works (and Why It Delivers Results)

 

The Lagree Fitness™

Lagree Fitness™ has a reputation — and it’s earned.

You might love it. You might love to hate it. But one thing is guaranteed: you’ll feel stronger, more challenged, and more accomplished every time you step off the Megaformer.

Expect 50 minutes of muscle-quivering, calorie-burning, low-impact intensity that works your entire body. You’ll sweat. You’ll shake. And you’ll leave knowing you gave it everything.

This is the Lagree workout — and it’s unlike anything else.

What Makes Lagree Different?

Lagree Fitness™ blends the best elements of strength training, cardio, endurance, balance, and flexibility into one seamless workout.

The foundation is slow, controlled movement performed under constant resistance. That time under tension keeps your muscles engaged from start to finish, while fast transitions between exercises maintain an elevated heart rate.

The result?
A full-body workout that builds lean muscle, boosts endurance, and burns fat — all without stressing your joints or spine.

Many Studio Physique members also combine Lagree with VersaClimber cardio classes for additional endurance and conditioning.

The Megaformer™: The Heart of the Workout

At the center of every Lagree class is the Megaformer™, a state-of-the-art resistance machine created by Sebastien Lagree.

Unlike traditional gym equipment, the Megaformer challenges both large and small stabilizing muscles at the same time. This allows you to train harder, smarter, and safer — regardless of your fitness level.

Every lunge, plank, and press targets muscles you didn’t even know you had. And because the machine offers endless exercise variations, no two workouts are ever the same.

If you’re curious what this feels like in practice, you can explore our Lagree classes here.

Low Impact. High Intensity. Real Results.

Lagree is designed to be low impact but incredibly intense. If you’re wondering why low-impact workouts are so effective, learn how they help build strength, improve endurance, and protect your joints. There’s no jumping, no pounding, and no unnecessary strain — just deep muscle activation and full-body engagement.

This makes Lagree ideal for:

  • Beginners who want guidance and safety

  • Athletes looking to level up performance

  • Anyone who wants strength without bulk

  • Anyone protecting their joints while still training hard

Our certified instructors guide you through every movement, cue proper form, and help you get the most out of each exercise.

Why You Feel “The Shake”

That shaking you feel during class isn’t weakness — it’s effectiveness.

When your muscles start to tremble, your slow-twitch stabilizing fibers are working at maximum capacity. This is where real toning, tightening, and sculpting happens.

Lagree keeps those fibers engaged longer than traditional workouts, which is why results show up faster — and last longer.

The Results You Can Expect

With consistent practice, Lagree helps you:

  • Burn up to 500–800 calories per session

  • Build long, lean muscle

  • Improve endurance and posture

  • Increase core strength and stability

  • Reduce injury risk through controlled movement

You’ll leave class drenched in sweat, mentally focused, and ready to come back for more.
