About CDM Lagree
What is Lagree?
The Lagree Fitness Training MethodTM is an elite fitness program developed by fitness visionary, Sebastien Lagree. One of the main things to remember is it's not pilates, it's Lagree! Lagree FitnessTM is taught exclusively on the Megaformer and is the only workout that effectively combines strength, endurance, cardio, balance, core, and flexibility training. The key term here is effective.
The method focuses on five key elements to reach effective muscle stimulation: Resistance, Range of Motion, Angle, Tempo and Duration. Tension is kept constant and continuous. Movements are performed slow and controlled with quick transitions between sets keeping the heart rate elevated.

The Machine
What is Lagree?
Meet the Megaformer
The Lagree Megaformer machines are specifically built for the high-intensity, low-impact method. The machines are constructed to provide effective resistance and range of motion exercises. There is a rolling carriage between two platforms, one on each end. A system of springs and pulleys use your own body weight to create resistance, making it safe on your back and joints.
The Megaformer attacks each muscle in a very concentrated manner to sculpt strong, lean and powerful bodies. CDM Lagree is excited to feature the latest Megaformer – the Mega Pro.
The Science
What is Lagree?
Slow down and feel the burn
LAGREE FITNESS™ is taught at an extremely slow and steady speed. The intention of the eliminate any momentum that may reduce the effectiveness of the movement. A series of slow, deliberate movements engage the resistance of the machine. By reducing speed, intensity and heartrate is increased. These movements activate the slow-twitch muscle fibers which increases your muscles stamina and oxygen-carrying capacity, allowing you to burn more calories long after your workout is complete.
LAGREE FITNESS™ is the only workout that EFFECTIVELY combines Strength, Endurance, Cardio, Balance, Core and Flexibility training not only in one session but in each and every move. The key term here is effective. Lagree Fitness™ is intense on the muscles, but low-impact and safe on the joints, spine, and connective tissues.
