Fueling your body with the right nutrition can significantly enhance your Lagree Fitness performance, endurance, and recovery. Whether you’re new to Lagree or a seasoned enthusiast, optimizing your pre- and post-workout meals will help you build strength, recover faster, and prevent fatigue.
At Inspire Seattle, we believe that fitness and nutrition go hand in hand. Here are some expert nutrition tips to help you get the most out of your Lagree workouts.
#1 Balance Your Macronutrients
- Protein: Supports muscle repair and growth. Ideal sources: lean meats, eggs, tofu, legumes, and protein shakes.
- Carbohydrates: Provide energy for endurance and strength. Ideal sources: quinoa, brown rice, whole grains, fruits, and vegetables.
- Healthy Fats: Help with joint health and recovery. Ideal sources: avocados, nuts, seeds, and olive oil.
#2 Pre-Workout Nutrition: Fuel for Energy
- Best Time to Eat: 30-90 minutes before your workout.
- What to Eat: A mix of carbs and protein to sustain energy. Example: banana with almond butter, Greek yogurt with granola, or a smoothie with protein and fruit.
- What to Avoid: Heavy, high-fat, or sugary foods that can cause sluggishness.
#3 Post-Workout Nutrition: Optimize Recovery
- Best Time to Eat: Within 30-60 minutes post-workout.
- What to Eat: A protein-rich meal with healthy carbs. Example: grilled chicken with quinoa and spinach, or a protein smoothie with berries and almond milk.
- What to Avoid: Processed sugars or skipping meals, as this hinders recovery.
#4 Stay Hydrated for Peak Performance
- Before Lagree: Drink 16-20 ounces of water an hour before class.
- During Lagree: Sip small amounts of water throughout your workout.
- After Lagree: Replenish with electrolytes if needed (especially after an intense session)
#5 Mindful Eating for Better Performance
- Eat whole, unprocessed foods for sustained energy.
- Listen to your body—eat when hungry, stop when full.
- Avoid crash diets or excessive calorie restriction, as these can weaken performance and increase injury risk.

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?
Yes. The studio offers intro specials and ongoing packages/memberships. Check the Pricing/Plans page for current options.
