It’s not pilates, its Lagree
The Lagree method is fundamentally different than pilates.
While the differences are vast, it should be noted that Pilates was originally created as a one-on-one method, whereas the Lagree Method was designed for group training.
Pilates was created for wellness and with an intent to heal, which is why Pilates is often used as a form of physical rehabilitation. In contrast, Lagree Fitness was created to strengthen, tighten, and tone the muscles quickly and safely, which is why the method is often referred to as “Pilates on Steroids,” “Pilates on Growth Hormones,” or, as referred to in a show titled Working Women, “Pilates for important people.” While these references are funny, they could not be further from the truth. Let’s get into the specifics.
SLOW AND CONTROLLED MOVEMENTS
Lagree emphasizes slow, controlled movements to maximize time under tension, targeting muscles deeply and efficiently. The Megaformer provides a system of resistance and counter-resistance that places muscles under constant, continuous tension while working them to failure.
