Move Super Slow,
but work Really hard.

In a Lagree class, controlled movements are performed slowly—forcing muscles to stay contracted throughout the entire range of motion. Lagree Fitness exercises are intense enough to stimulate strengthening of the muscles, while remaining low impact and increasing metabolic and heart rate.

+ PLATFORMS
The solid surfaces at each end of the machine provide support and grounding. You’ll use them to stabilize during exercises like lunges, planks, and holds.

+ CARRIAGE
This is the moving part of the machine - where most of the intensity happens. Because it shifts with your movement, it challenges your balance and activates your core and stabilizing muscles.

+ SPRINGS
These control how much resistance you're working against. Lighter springs help you focus on control and endurance, while heavier springs dial up the strength and power.

+ HIGH HANDLEBARS
Use these for extra support and better alignment during movements like lunges or heavy pushes and pulls. They also help target specific core and oblique muscles.

+ CABLES / HANDLES
These add both resistance and range to movements, especially for arms, legs, and obliques — helping build functional strength and balance.

+ BUNGEE
A go-to for controlled tension and lighter resistance. Ideal for glute, hamstring, and core exercises that require stability and muscle engagement without heavy load.
