Frequently asked questions
Is Lagree the same as Pilates?
No. Lagree is a distinct fitness methodology inspired by Pilates principles but designed for high-intensity resistance training. Traditional Pilates focuses on alignment, core stability, and controlled movement at lower intensity. Lagree elevates the heart rate, builds muscular endurance, and delivers a cardiovascular workout while remaining low-impact.
What is slow-pulse in Lagree?
Slow-pulse refers to the tempo of Lagree movements — slow, controlled repetitions that keep the muscle under continuous tension for 30-60 seconds or more. This time-under-tension approach is central to the method effectiveness and differentiates it from faster, momentum-based exercise.
What software works best for Lagree studios?
Lagree studios need software that handles slow-pulse class scheduling, Megaformer spot maps, capacity caps per machine, waitlist promotion at the machine level, and support for multiple class formats (Fit, Pulse, Power, Strength). ClassFlow is built with Lagree-specific scheduling and programming capabilities.
