Frequently Asked Questions
What is Lagree Fitness?
Lagree is a workout method that blends strength training and Pilates-style movement in a high-intensity, low-impact format, typically performed on a Megaformer.
I have never done Lagree. Should I do a private lesson first?
It depends on your fitness level. Many new students do fine in class (especially intro classes). If you have chronic back pain, painful joints, or a serious medical condition, a private session may be recommended first.
How do I schedule a private session?
Contact the studio by email and they can help you schedule your first private session. Private sessions are typically scheduled during non-class hours.
Do I need to arrive early for my first class?
Yes. New students should arrive about 10 minutes early to ask questions and complete any needed paperwork. If you arrive late for your first class, you may be asked to reschedule.
What should I bring to class?
Bring a positive attitude, a towel, and a water bottle. Grip socks are required. Wear comfortable clothes and avoid jewelry, strong perfumes, and using your phone during class.
How often should I practice?
A common recommendation is 3–4 times per week to allow recovery. Some people go more often, but too many sessions can reduce recovery and results—listen to your body.
What is the cancellation or reschedule policy?
Changes generally require at least 12 hours notice. Late cancels/reschedules can result in a fee (for unlimited members) or a lost class (for package holders).
How do I contact Inspire Seattle?
Email is typically the best way to reach the studio.
How does the waitlist work?
If you are added from the waitlist, you should receive an email notification (typically at least 12 hours before class). Make sure email notifications are enabled in your profile, and ensure you have classes available in your package.
Do you have intro offers or pricing options?
