WHAT IS LAGREE FITNESS / PILATES PLUS?

Simply put, Lagree Fitness is a combination of weight training and Pilates set to high-energy music. Lagree Fitness utilizes the best of both: the strengthening and toning benefits of weight training and the lengthening and postural enhancing benefits of Pilates in a circuit training sequence. Pilates Plus keeps the heart rate up and burns extra calories. The routines incorporate “old school” exercises such as pushups and lunges; however, the support of the Proformer™ eliminates the pressure on joints and the spine.

I HAVE NEVER DONE PILATES. CAN I DO THE CLASSES OR SHOULD I TAKE PRIVATE SESSIONS FIRST?

It depends on your fitness level, but if you’re new to the Proformer or the Megaformer, it will be challenging regardless. The workout is intense and the transitions between exercises are quick, but the routine is kept simple to make sure everyone is using good form. If it is your first time with us, you must arrive 10 minutes early to get familiar with the surroundings and allow the trainer to get you acquainted with the Proformer. However, if you have chronic back pain, painful joints, a physical problem with which you are concerned, or a severe medical condition, please consult with our trainers before you sign up for your first class. It may be required that you take a private session first to assess your fitness level.

HOW DO I BOOK A CLASS?

Click Book Classes. Then either 1) click on the Sign Up/Wait List bubble next to the class time you desire or 2) click on the Retail tab in the upper right corner. Follow the prompts! It’s simple! You must make a purchase before you are able to book a class.

I PUT MYSELF ON THE WAIT LIST– HOW DOES IT WORK?

If a spot opens up more than 24 hours before class, you will automatically be added to that class and sent a confirmation email. BUT DO NOT DEPEND ON THAT EMAIL, as there are always spam problems, junk mail issues, and email server hiccups and crashes. Please log in and check your schedule to make sure you are enrolled – this is your responsibility!

This procedure protects you from being added to a class that you may no longer be able to attend, avoiding possible Late Cancel/No Show fees.

If you Reserve/Wait List yourself for more than one class in a day, or more than is ultimately allowed by your current package, you are responsible for the purchase of and any cancellation penalties for all classes that you reserve and get bumped into from the Wait Lists.

HOW DO I MAKE CHANGES TO MY RESERVATIONS?

Simple! Sign into your account, click on the “My Info” tab, then click “My Schedule”, and choose whatever action you’d like. To remove yourself from a Wait List, click on “Wait List” near the upper right of the page.
