The Lagree Method is a fitness method that combines tried and proven bodybuilding training techniques with low-impact qualities to achieve rapid results. While Pilates is based on breathing, concentration, control, centering, flow postural alignment, and precision, Lagree Fitness is fundamentally based on strength training with endurance and core. Here are some key differences between Lagree and Pilates:
-
Equipment: While Pilates is typically performed on a machine called the Reformer, Lagree is performed on the Megaformer, which has a much broader range of motion and allows for more exercises.
-
Intensity: Lagree is a high-intensity workout that garners rapid results if youre willing to put in the work, while Pilates lacks intensity.
-
Transitions: With Pilates, you typically take small breaks between each set of exercises. With the Lagree Method, you move quickly into the different sets that make up a class, even though the moves themselves are performed slowly and with good muscle control.
-
Movements: Lagree classes are based on slow controlled movements to help work multiple muscle groups at once, whereas Pilates tends to focus on faster movements.
-
Benefits: While Pilates offers some great health benefits, including core strength and stability, improved posture and balance, prevention and treatment of back pain, and flexibility, Lagree workouts offer all of those benefits and more.
It's important to note that while Lagree Fitness possesses derivatives of Pilates, it isn't Pilates at all.
