THE METHOD

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 created for group training. In addition, 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.

CONTROLLED REPS PERFORMED AT SLOW PACES DEMAND MORE FROM THE BODY

The famous Lagree-count, which consists of no less than eight seconds, does not allow for participants to utilize momentum while moving through each exercise. Instead, participants must use muscle groups in a slow, controlled fashion, which demands more metabolic work per unit of time. This extended amount of time that muscles are placed under tension produces rapid results for participants.

BALANCE IS JUST AS IMPORTANT AS FLEXIBILITY

The Lagree Method places a large emphasis on balance as a fundamental for achieving real results in a quick amount of time. Focusing on balance allows for participants to avoid and prevent injuries. This quality, unique to Lagree Fitness, has helped many avid Lagree Fitness goers heal from chronic back injuries and other issues. Through years of research, Sebastien Lagree has found that balance training has proven to be more effective than strength training.

THE LAGREE METHOD BORROWS THE BODYBUILDING SUPERSET FOR EFFECTIVENESS

As a fitness guru fascinated by and passionate about bodybuilding, Sebastien Lagree has borrowed the superset method and made it part of what makes The Lagree Method considerably different than Pilates. By utilizing the superset method, Lagree Fitness goers move through shorter classes, heightened intensity levels, and a safer way to take their muscles to failure without the spotter that is typically needed in traditional bodybuilding.

THE LAGREE METHOD DOES NOT EXCLUDE CARDIO

Circuit training is a large part of what makes The Lagree Method critically different than Pilates. Lagree Fitness participants are required to move from one movement to the next with minimal rest time between. This keeps the participant’s heart rate up and demands cardiovascular growth—which, of course, results in more calories burned.
Pilates is not meant to be a cardio workout, so typically a participant’s heartrate will remain under 90 BPM. On the other hand, The Lagree Method ensures users will hit the anaerobic threshold and a heart rate over 145/150 BPM when performed correctly.

LAGREE FITNESS PUSHES YOUR BODY OUT OF ITS COMFORT ZONE FOR AMPLE RESULTS

The Lagree Method places quite a large emphasis on overloading the different muscle groups as a means of attaining rapid results. During this process, the muscles are forced to grow beyond their current state, increasing the amount of resistance, time, and intensity a participant can handle. Added movements, slowed movements, and minimal recovery periods help participants achieve results faster than any other workout method.
