What Is the Lagree Method?
Lagree Fitness is a high-intensity, low-impact workout method created by fitness professional Sebastien Lagree. The method focuses on strength, muscular endurance, core work, + cardiovascular conditioning while limiting impact on the joints.
Unlike traditional workouts that rely on fast repetitions or momentum, Lagree emphasizes very slow, controlled movements. One of the method’s core concepts is time under tension, which keeps muscles working continuously throughout an exercise.

The Megaformer uses spring resistance and a moving carriage to create resistance throughout each movement. While the equipment can look similar to a Pilates reformer at first glance, Lagree Fitness notes that the Lagree Method and Megaformer are distinct from traditional Pilates.
