Why Celebrities (and Our Clients) Swear by the Lagree Method

Why Meghan Markle Still Swears by Lagree Fitness

Meghan Markle has tried just about every kind of workout — from yoga to running to Pilates — but one method keeps her coming back: Lagree Fitness.

The Duchess of Sussex once called it “the best thing for your body,” and years later, her favorite workout is still trending among celebrities, athletes, and everyday people who want long, lean, strong results. This style of training is also why so many models love Lagree — it builds the same long, lean strength you see in our Victoria’s Secret Model Workout.

At Studio Physique in St. Petersburg, we’ve seen firsthand why Meghan (and so many others) are obsessed with this method — it delivers visible change fast, and it feels amazing to do.

“There are so many workouts that you try out once and never go back to; this is the complete opposite. You keep coming back for several reasons: first off, your body changes immediately…give it two classes and you will see a difference; second, the instructors are inspiring in every way; lastly, the people in class are cool, unpretentious, and motivating.” -Meghan Markle

One thing Meghan loves about Lagree is how quickly you can feel the work. The slow, steady pace makes your core, glutes, and stabilizers fire right away, and you walk out feeling stronger after every class. Most people notice they sit taller, move easier, and feel more balanced after just a few sessions.

Lagree also fits easily into a busy schedule, which is why so many parents and professionals stick with it. You don’t need hours of cardio or weights to feel toned and energized. Fifty minutes on the Megaformer gives you everything at once — strength, endurance, and a deep mind-body focus that makes the rest of your day feel easier.

What surprises most beginners is how gentle Lagree feels on the joints while still being incredibly challenging. The slow pace protects your body, but the constant tension keeps every muscle working. It’s one of the few workouts that feels tough and safe at the same time — and that’s why people stay consistent.

The Workout Behind Meghan’s Strength and Poise

When Meghan was preparing for her wedding to Prince Harry, she wanted something that would keep her body sculpted, balanced, and strong — without adding bulk.

Her trainer introduced her to Lagree Fitness on the Megaformer, and she was instantly hooked.

“You keep coming back for several reasons: first off, your body changes immediately…give it two classes and you will see a difference,” Meghan told Women’s Health.

Lagree’s slow, controlled movements combine strength, endurance, flexibility, and cardio — giving you a complete full-body workout in under an hour.

Why It Works

Sebastien Lagree, creator of the Lagree Fitness Method, designed the Megaformer to build long, lean muscles through constant resistance and time under tension. Each move targets multiple muscle groups at once while protecting your joints. These slow, controlled moves often create the Lagree Shake, which is a sign your muscles are getting stronger.

Depending on your pace and effort, you can burn 500–900 calories per class, while improving core strength and posture.

Because it’s low-impact and scalable, it works for everyone — from first-timers to elite athletes.

That’s why it’s often called “the workout that fits every body.”

Entertainment Tonight dives into Megan obsession with Lagree a little further:

Why do you think Meghan, a self-proclaimed yogi and Pilates lover, prefers this specific method over the others?

“People love this method because it truly is a one-stop shop! It is the perfect workout, especially for busy people, because you get everything you need for the day, fitness-wise, in one class. You are getting cardio as well as toning through strength training and flexibility and agility through stretching. In just under an hour, you work nearly every muscle in your body, plus you calm your mind with all of the Pilates breathing you employ throughout the class.”

Whether you’re a duchess, a parent, or a professional balancing a busy schedule, Lagree’s efficiency makes it perfect for modern life.
