Let me introduce to you to the world of Lagree fitness and Megaformer. I’m sure at this point some of you are rolling your eyes, thinking that this is another “trend” in the fitness industry. Think again. This workout is here to stay and will become a welcoming, transforming and life changing (big call, I know) addition to your workout routine.
Exclusive to LAfit in Subiaco and Highgate, this cruel to be kind workout is in a league of its own. It’s hard to describe a Lagree workout on the MEGAFORMER machine, but if you think of a combination of Yoga and Pilates (on steroids) then you’re close.
A workout on the MEGAFORMER is like a one stop shop for all your fitness needs. It not only increases your strength, stability, flexibility and cardiovascular fitness, but it will tone all of those wobbly places that have been bugging you for years. You know, all those hard to tackle areas of the body.
If you’re more of a runner, HIIT lover or just looking for something new and challenging, than you might want to consider throwing a MEGAFORMER class into the mix.
Lagree workouts are low impact, with slow and controlled movements. Say good-bye to quick reps or racing through the workout – trust me, the instructors will stop you in your tracks. The class is all about keeping it slow.
But, don’t be fooled, these slow movements are challenging and you will be dripping in sweat in seconds. These workouts are tough and not for the faint hearted. You can expect to shake, burn and maybe even let out a little cry at the end of the class.
The small class size is an added advantage as it allows the trainers sufficient time to ensure that each client is executing good technique. Good technique not only will maximise your results quickly and safely, but it also prevents injury.
The best part? The seriously fun tunes. They are always pumping away and helping you stay motivated, along with the encouraging instructors. The instructors might just be some of the best instructors in Perth. The class caters for all levels in the class, so it’s easy to join a class.
This boutique studio and unique workout is well worth a shot and if you aren’t dripping in sweat by the end of the class, then you didn’t work hard enough. So, be brave, be bold and book your class now!
