Is Lagree the same thing as Pilates? Lagree FAQ

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

+ IS LAGREE THE SAME THING AS PILATES?

No. Although they may look the same on the outside, they have completely different principles. Pilates focuses on breathing, concentration, control, centering, and postural alignment. While Lagree focuses on some of these principles as well, the method is based on 5 core elements; form, range of motion, resistance, duration, and tempo. In Lagree we move at a faster pace, stressing a high-intensity workout with little impact, aiming to keep your heart-rate up throughout the duration of class.

+ IT’S MY FIRST CLASS WHAT DO I NEED TO KNOW?

Arrive 15 minutes prior to the start time of your scheduled class so that our instructors can introduce the machine to you, go over any questions you may have and sign a waiver. Please understand that if you show up after class has started for your first class we will not allow you to join class. This is for your own safety and the safety of the other members in class.

We recommend you bring:

A water bottle to stay hydrated (we have some available for purchase in the studio)
Grip socks (these are required, no exceptions) Don’t have any? We have some available for purchase at the studio.
