Lagree Fitness is one of the most effective full-body workouts, yet many misconceptions exist about its difficulty, benefits, and purpose. Some believe it’s just another Pilates class, while others think it’s too easy, only for women, or not effective for muscle building.

At Inspire Seattle, we’re here to set the record straight! Let’s break down and debunk the most common Lagree Fitness myths so you can see why this workout is truly game-changing.

Myth 1: Lagree is Just Like Pilates

• Lagree uses the Megaformer, a larger and more dynamic machine than the Pilates Reformer.
• Lagree is high-intensity, while traditional Pilates is lower intensity.
• Lagree workouts focus on slow, controlled movements under tension, leading to greater muscle endurance and definition.

Myth 2: Lagree is Only for Women

• Many professional athletes (including men) use Lagree for cross-training.
• The Megaformer challenges even the strongest individuals through time-under-tension training.
• Lagree helps build lean muscle, core strength, and endurance—benefits that are essential for both men and women.

Myth 3: Lagree Doesn’t Build Muscle

• The Megaformer adds resistance through springs, targeting both large and small muscle groups.
• Slow, controlled movements create constant tension, stimulating muscle growth.
• Lagree effectively tones and defines muscles without adding unnecessary bulk.

Myth 4: Lagree Workouts Aren’t Challenging Enough

• Lagree challenges your muscles differently than traditional workouts.
• You’ll feel the burn within seconds, and muscle shaking is common due to the slow, controlled movements.
• Even advanced athletes find Lagree to be one of the toughest, most effective workouts they’ve tried.
