The Method
NOT PILATES. NOT YOGA. SOMETHING DIFFERENT.
WHAT IS IT
Lagree is a high-intensity, low-impact workout performed in our studio on Microformer Pro machines. It combines elements of pilates, strength training and cardio into one slow, controlled, relentless session.

The MACHINE
The Lagree Microformer Pro uses spring resistance and a sliding carriage to create constant tension throughout each movement, targeting slow-twitch muscle fibres for tone, strength and endurance.
Lagree Fitness Microformer Pro
Why it works
THe science behind the shake.
Lagree was designed by Sebastien Lagree to combine the safest elements of pilates with the effectiveness of strength training. The result: a workout that is simultaneously cardio, strength and flexibility, in 45 minutes flat.
01
time under tension
Slow, controlled movements keep muscles under load for longer. The key driver of strength and tone.
02
Zero impact
Spring resistance replaces gravity. Joints are protected while muscles are fully challenged. Safe for all ages.
03
Full body, every time
No muscle group is spared. Each class works the core, legs, glutes, arms and back in sequence.
What you'll gain
REAL RESULTS. REALLy FAST.
Strength + tone
Build lean muscle and definition without the bulk. The machine sculpts without adding size.
Cardio fitness
Your heart rate stays elevated throughout. Burn calories during and after class with lasting metabolic effect.
Flexibility + Posture
Each session lengthens as it strengthens. Expect better posture, less tension and greater range of movement.
GOOD TO KNOW.
-
Absolutely. All of our classes are open to every level. Your instructor will guide you through the machine and modify exercises to suit your body.
-
Lagree uses a different and more complex machine than a standard reformer with a focus on slow, sustained tension and elevated heart rate. It is more intense than traditional pilates.
-
Grip socks are required (available to purchase at the studio). Wear fitted, comfortable workout clothing. Bring water, you will need it.
-
Most members see best results with 2–3 sessions per week. Because of the intensity, your body needs recovery time between sessions, which is built into the method.
-
The Microformer is the official Lagree Fitness machine designed to deliver the same high-intensity, low-impact workout as the Megaformer in a more compact format. It uses spring resistance, slow and controlled movements, and constant muscle engagement to build strength, improve endurance, and challenge your core. All while being gentle on your joints.
-
Both the Megaformer and the Microformer are official Lagree Fitness machines and follow the same Lagree Method. They use the same principles of slow, controlled movement, constant tension, and spring resistance to create a full-body workout.
The main difference is the size and design. The Megaformer is larger and offers additional carriage travel and exercise variations, making it common in larger studios. The Microformer is more compact, making it ideal for boutique studios while still delivering the signature Lagree experience.
The workout principles, muscle engagement, and intensity remain the same.
-
We chose the Microformer because we are a boutique studio we have a maximum of 4 people per class. We provide the authentic Lagree workout while creating a more intimate and personalized studio experience.
The Microformer allows us to:
Deliver the same full-body Lagree workout with low impact and high intensity.
Offer close instructor attention to help you perfect your form.
Accommodate all fitness levels, from complete beginners to experienced athletes.
Provide a premium workout in a comfortable, welcoming studio environment.
The focus isn't on the size of the machine, it's on the quality of the workout. Every class is designed to leave you stronger, more balanced, and challenged in the best possible way.
-
No. The Microformer is every bit as challenging as the Megaformer. Lagree is based on time under tension, slow movement, and muscular endurance, not on the size of the machine. Your instructor can adjust the resistance and exercise variations to match your fitness level, ensuring every workout is both safe and effective.
-
Absolutely! The Microformer is suitable for all ages, body types, and fitness levels. Every exercise can be modified or progressed based on your individual needs, making it an excellent choice whether it's your first workout or you're an experienced athlete.
