What is Lagree?

Lagree, also known as the Lagree Method or simply The Method, was created by fitness expert Sebastien Lagree. It is a comprehensive workout method found in over 500 fitness studios globally, featuring patented exercise techniques and a range of equipment, all centered around resistance training. The Lagree Method, a high-intensity, low-impact regimen, strengthens the body by integrating bodybuilding principles like Time Under Tension to maintain intensity throughout the workout. Many Lagree movements engage 600 muscles simultaneously, offering efficient and effective conditioning, rehabilitation and active recovery workouts.

Sebastien Lagree identified a gap in the fitness industry in 1998 and developed The Lagree Method to provide a low-risk, high-intensity workout. This method has evolved to include various machines like the Proformer, Megaformer, MiniPro, and Micro, reflecting Lagree Fitness' commitment to innovation. Sebastian is the inventor of the only piece of fitness machinery to hold 150 patents and has created an entire exercise methodology dedicated to supporting the Lagree Method. By utilizing springs and incorporating resistance training, athletes experience controlled movements and increased muscle stimulation.

Lagree integrates bodybuilding superset methods which distinguish it from Pilates.

This approach leads to an intense workout without the need for a spotter, while promoting muscle failure safely. The ability to have variable resistance that is gentle on joints and allows for precise movements, without compromising form, set The Method apart within the fitness industry. Unlike traditional weights, the tension from springs can be adjusted by changing body placement, ensuring effective workouts tailored to individual needs. Lagree is centered around circuit training, ensuring continuous movement, elevating the heart rate, and facilitating calorie burn and fat burn, unlike traditional Pilates. While Pilates focuses on breathing, concentration, and alignment, Lagree prioritizes elements such as form, range of motion, tempo, and tension for effective workouts. The method's slow pace and controlled movements promote progressive overloading, intensifying workouts for optimal results.
