FAQs

Lagree is a low-impact, high-intensity workout method designed to build strength, muscular endurance, stability, and core control through slow, controlled movement and continuous time under tension.

Classes are performed on a Megaformer, a specialized resistance-based machine that uses a moving carriage, springs, straps, and multiple platforms to create hundreds of exercise variations. The machine allows you to work your entire body with constant resistance while keeping the workout low-impact on the joints.

Unlike traditional strength training, Lagree focuses on moving slowly and staying under tension for longer periods of time, which creates the signature “shake” and deep muscle fatigue the method is known for.

Think strength training, core work, and endurance — all in one full-body workout on the Megaformer.

If you are brand new to Lagree and want a little extra time to learn the Megaformer, Mega Foundations is a great place to start.

You do not have to take Foundations first. You are also welcome to begin with Mega Burn or Scupt Fusion (not on the machines).

If it is your first Megaformer class, please arrive 10 minutes early so your instructor can introduce you to the machine and review the basics before class begins.

No. Mega Foundations is not required before taking Mega Burn.

Mega Foundations is a slower-paced class with extra guidance on Megaformer setup, form, transitions, and foundational Lagree movements. It is ideal for first-timers, anyone who feels a little nervous about starting Lagree, or anyone who wants additional time to refine technique.

If Foundations does not fit your schedule, you are still welcome to start with Mega Burn.

For your first Megaformer class, please arrive 10 minutes early so your instructor can introduce you to the Megaformer and help you get set up.

For most clients, 3–6 classes per week can work well depending on your goals, experience, and how you feel between sessions.

We recommend listening to your body, allowing enough recovery between higher-intensity sessions, and mixing class formats throughout the week.
