Endurance.
Strength.
Control.
Slow, heavy strength training on the Mega Pro. Low-impact, coached every rep, no experience needed.
To elevate all your activities.
Slow reps under constant tension, springs instead of impact. It carries over to whatever you love to do.
Build the glutes, quads and hips that hold your stride together in the last miles. No impact, save your joints for the race.
Slow negatives and constant tension: the time under tension a physique is built on, with springs instead of a barbell on your joints.
Side squats, lateral lunges and loaded rotation train the balance and braking behind every split step.
Core and hip strength that holds your posture through the swing.
Strength endurance for sleds, lunges and wall balls, without more pounding in a high-impact week.
The hamstrings, glutes, core and back that hours in the saddle leave behind.
Coached every second.
Every 45-minute group class. Every machine. Springs set, form checked, pace called.
“As a former military member and active athlete I’ve been a part of multiple workout programs: CrossFit, mini sprints, and strength/running programs. Lagree takes it to another level.”
“I love the Lagree method because it challenges your body in ways traditional workouts don’t. Body by Lagree Society offers an incredible opportunity to build strength, improve control, and challenge your limits.”
Before you ask
Slow, heavy strength training on a machine called the Mega Pro. It borrows from bodybuilding: slow reps and constant tension, which is what builds muscle. There's no jumping, no bouncing, and no free weights to drop on your feet. Springs do the loading and your joints stay out of it, so it's intense and low-impact at the same time.
Yes, and being fit won't spare you. The slow tempo takes momentum away, so strong people shake too. Every move scales, so you set the intensity. Hard on your muscles, easy on your knees and back.
Yes. It's low-impact, so it won't beat up your joints the way another run or another heavy day would. Two or three classes a week as your strength day is a good start. Expect sore legs the first week, and keep it away from your hardest sessions until you know how you recover.
Time under tension, single-leg and lateral work, and the stabilizers a barbell lets you skip, with springs instead of plates so your joints get a lighter day. It adds to heavy lifting; it doesn't replace it.
Yes. There's almost no rest between moves, so your heart rate climbs early and stays up for the whole class. You're working your heart and lungs and building muscular endurance at the same time, without the pounding of a run.
Often, yes, since it's low-impact. Check with your doctor or physical therapist first, then tell your trainer before class so they can give you options for every move.
They're separate methods. Lagree is built on the Mega Pro, with heavier spring loads, slow continuous reps and almost no rest, so it trains much closer to strength work.
No. Most people in class started exactly where you are. Every exercise has a beginner version, and the trainer will set you up before class.
