IT'S NOT PILATES, IT'S LAGREE
High-intensity, low impact training
The Lagree method has arrived in Florence, and we are the first to bring it to the city and to Tuscany. It is a high-intensity, low-impact workout that combines strength, endurance, cardio, balance and flexibility in a single session. Each Lagree class lasts approximately 45–50 minutes and is designed to challenge the body without placing excessive stress on the joints.
Created by Sébastien Lagree, the method works the muscles to deep fatigue while also improving cardiovascular endurance, using loads and resistance comparable to weight training but with a completely different, more joint-friendly approach.
Megaformer: the heart of the Lagree method
Lagree is performed on an exclusive machine, the Megaformer: a piece of equipment featuring a moving carriage, springs, straps and resistance bands that provide variable and progressive resistance. This combination makes it possible to adapt each exercise to the individual’s fitness level and goals, from beginners taking their first class to more experienced athletes.
Slow movements, constant tension
Exercises are performed at a very slow pace to keep the muscles under constant tension. Slowing down means minimising recovery time, increasing the actual intensity of the workout while, at the same time, protecting the joints.
Low impact, high intensity.
The Megaformer allows you to burn a significant number of calories and strengthen your muscles without placing excessive stress on the back and knees. No jumping, no excessive strain: just an intense workout that is also kind to the body.
The benefits of Lagree
For the body
- Deep muscle toning: working the slow-twitch muscle fibres helps define the muscles without adding bulk.
- Joint protection: controlled movements and no jumping minimise impact on the knees, back and ankles.
- Prolonged calorie burn: the intensity boosts the metabolism, helping the body continue to burn calories even after the class.
- A stronger core: every exercise requires constant activation of the abdominal and stabilising muscles.
For health and mind
- Strength and flexibility combined: the method stretches the muscles while strengthening them, improving overall flexibility.
- Cardiovascular endurance: quick transitions between exercises help keep the heart rate elevated.
- Improved posture: symmetrical movements help balance strength on both sides of the body and reduce muscular imbalances.
- Mental focus: controlling slow movements requires full concentration, providing a natural way to relieve stress.
