What is Lagree?
At Tide & Tone, we are dedicated to offering a dynamic and results-driven workout experience that transforms both body and mind. Specializing in the Lagree Method, our classes focus on high-intensity, low-impact movements designed to strengthen, tone, and improve endurance.
Lagree is not your typical Pilates—it’s a cutting-edge fitness method performed on a Megaformer machine, combining elements of strength training, cardio, and flexibility in each session. Our mission is to empower you to achieve sustainable results through intentional movement, whether you're new to fitness or an experienced enthusiast.
THE EQUIPMENT
The MegaPro machine from Lagree is an advanced piece of fitness equipment designed specifically for Lagree workouts, offering a full-body workout that emphasizes core strength, muscle endurance, and low-impact movements. Here’s a detailed description of its key features:
1. Carriage and Platform: The central carriage, where much of the workout takes place, glides smoothly along a set of rails. It can be adjusted for different resistance levels, allowing users to challenge themselves in various exercises. The platform at each end of the machine provides sturdy support for exercises like lunges, planks, and core movements.
2. Resistance Springs: One of the defining features of the MegaPro is its spring-loaded resistance system. These color-coded springs provide variable levels of resistance, creating a low-impact but high-intensity workout. This adjustable tension makes it suitable for users of all fitness levels, from beginners to advanced athletes.
3. Handles, Straps, and Pulleys: The machine comes equipped with multiple handles, straps, and pulley systems that allow users to perform a wide range of exercises. These accessories can be used for upper body, lower body (such as foot straps), and core movements, creating a versatile workout experience.
4. Adjustability: The MegaPro is designed to be highly adjustable, with options to modify the carriage, footbars, and handles to fit each user’s body and ensure proper alignment during exercises. This adjustability ensures a personalized and effective workout every time.
5. Smooth Transitions: With its focus on slow, controlled movements, the machine enables users to move seamlessly between exercises without disrupting their flow, which is a core principle of the Lagree method (more time under tension meaning a more effective workout).
