Which class should I take for my Intro Class?

Any class that fits your schedule can be your Studio Physique Intro Class. The Megaformer Total Body class is highly recommended for your first session. Everyone works at their own pace. Highly skilled trainers give detailed instructions and assist every class participant with form and alignment. Trainers also offer modifications for people concerned about chronic pain or injuries. First-timers often train alongside members who have taken more than 200 classes and everyone experiences an effective workout.

Should I take a Private Session before joining a Group Class?

If you are recovering from injuries or have physical limitations, we recommend a Private Lagree Fitness session or a series of sessions prior to joining a group class. Working privately with a Studio Physique Trainer gives you extra attention to find the best modifications, ideal alignment and effective form for every exercise. Many SP Members interested in fine-tuning their Lagree Fitness training also opt for Private Sessions to enhance their experience and optimize individualized results.

What do I need to bring to class?

Grip socks are required on the Megaformers. Studio Physique offers a variety of grip socks for sale. Intro Class participants will receive $5 off a pair of socks their first class. Participants in the Cycle-Lagree VersaClimber classes wear workout shoes on the VersaClimbers for the first half of class, then switch to grip socks for the Lagree Fitness portion of the workout on the Megaformers. Comfortable, form-fitting workout clothes are recommended that allow bending and a full range of motion for arms, legs, back and stomach. Towels and water are recommended but not required. Water bottles and water are sold at Studio Physique. A free water bottle filling station is also available. Oh, and bring that great attitude and the willingness to sweat and shake and work hard and be ready to have FUN!

Should I eat before my workout?

Eating a light meal or snack 30 minutes to an hour before you workout at Studio Physique is recommended. Exercising on an empty stomach or while fasting can result in nausea or dizziness. Eating a well-balanced, nutritious meal or high protein snack after your workout is also recommended for optimal muscle recovery. Staying well-hydrated before, during and after your workout is encouraged as well.

What time should I arrive for class?

Please plan to check into Studio Physique 15 minutes prior to the start of your Intro Class. Your first visit to SP, trainers go through a mandatory equipment orientation. Please plan to continue to arrive 5 minutes prior to the start of classes to ensure proper equipment set-up and access to the facility.

How often should I take a class?

3 or more classes per week are recommended at Studio Physique for the best results. Many SP Members do take 4, 5 even 6 or 7 classes/week. They love the low impact workout and feel energized after classes. We encourage everyone to listen to their bodies and factor in recovery time to build strong, lean muscle.

What is the best deal for me?

The best value for the money is the Studio Physique Unlimited Membership. If you plan to take 2 classes a week or more, go with the Unlimited Monthly Membership. If you will be taking 1 class each week, the 5 classes/month. If you’re someone who travels often, the various Class Packages might be your best option. Studio Physique also offers 1 Week and 2 Week Unlimited Memberships ideal for people visiting the St. Petersburg or Tampa Bay area. SP always offers new member specials!

October Favorites: Fitness + Lifestyle

Our October Favorites

Can you believe October is virtually over?! It’s almost Thanksgiving sooo basically Merry Christmas. Ah! This year is flying by. This month has been full of favorites and we thought we would share some of them with you!

Favorite Lagree Move:

This was a tough choice, but this month we are LOVING Spider Kicks even more than usual. As the weather gets chillier we’re trading our shorts for yoga pants. Nothing goes better with a pair of yoga pants than a toned, firm Lagree booty! Spider kick isolates those glutes and activates the hamstrings, giving your legs a long, lean makeover.

Favorite Drink:

Pumpkin Latte’s were sooo two years ago. It’s time to move on! This month we’re crazy for an updated version of a healthy pumpkin spice smoothie. Packed full of protein, perfect for after a workout. Click HERE for the recipe.

Favorite Local Business:

This month we had the pleasure of working with Light of the Moon Photography, based right here in St Petersburg Florida. They specialize in THE most gorgeous wedding photos. If you want to check out some of the amazing work they did for us at Studio Physique, involving an awesome Megaformer photoshoot check out our Instagram @studiophysiquesp.

Favorite Piece of Clothing:

We can’t get enough of the cute new ToeSox shipment in super bright, fun colors. Also- check out our adorable new tank tops!

Favorite Book:

We’ve recently read “Choose Wonder over Worry” by Amber Rae and we are reading it over again- that’s how good it was! It’s an inspirational read with humor and unique insight. Our favorite quote straight from the book is “I chose wonder over worry and my entire perspective shifted. The needing to know? The thinking I should have it figured out by now? It faded away. I grabbed the hand of the unknown and danced into the sunlight, eyes open and passion ablaze.”
