What is the Lagree Method?

Developed by fitness visionary Sebastian Lagree, the Lagree Method combines the best elements of Pilates, strength training, and cardio into one efficient, transformative workout.

Performed on the patented Megaformer machine, each class targets all major muscle groups through slow, controlled movements that maximize time under tension. The result? A workout that builds strength, improves flexibility, and elevates your cardiovascular fitness simultaneously.

Unlike traditional workouts that rely on momentum, Lagree forces your muscles to work through every inch of movement. This slow tempo is what makes the method both challenging and uniquely effective.

Core Principles

The Science of Slow

Every element of the Lagree Method is designed with purpose. These four principles work together to create a uniquely effective workout.

01

Slow Tempo

Movements are performed at a controlled 4-count pace, eliminating momentum and maximizing muscle engagement throughout each exercise.

02

Constant Tension

You never fully rest between movements. This continuous load creates deep muscle fatigue that builds endurance and strength simultaneously.

03

Core Integration

Every exercise requires core engagement. Your midsection works constantly, building functional strength that supports everything you do.

04

Mind-Body Focus

The precision required keeps you present and focused. This is moving meditation as much as it is physical training.
