Lagree Core

Where? 5000 Rue Jean-Talon Ouest, Montreal, Quebec H4P 1W9 #160

Type of Class: Megaformer Pilates

Description: I would describe Lagree as “Reformer Pilates on steroids”. It uses the same core principles (moving carriage and fixed platform that challenge you with added-resistance using springs), but they add in blasts of cardio and use moves that will have you feeling the burn and shake (during the workout, and sometimes for days after…YES).

Length of class: 50 minutes

Price: $32 + tax to drop-in. Class packs available. Subscribe to their e-mail list for promos!

Commitment issues? First session free and class packs with no expiration! Also, first-timers could try it out with a $99 two week unlimited pass!

Good for beginners? I would suggest trying this class out if you are someone who works out pretty regularly.

Available on MINDBODY App? Yes!

Privacy Scale: Small-Sized Group Class (Anywhere from 4-15 people. They also offer private and semi-private sessions if group classes aren’t your thing!

Atmosphere / Language: Warm and welcoming. Classes are usually held in English, but are sometimes bilingual depending on participants.

Snacks or Smoothie Bar on-site? No, but they do sell Kombucha and protein bars as well as Just Pressed juices on weekends.

Fun/Music? You go less for the fun, and more for the immediate results. Music varies by trainer.

Showers, Amenities, & Cleanliness: 3 showers – very clean and equipped with the necessities. The studio and locker rooms are always spotless.

Additional Notes: This is currently my favourite workout in Montreal – probably because it is the most challenging I’ve done in a long time. When you stay consistent, you could really feel yourself improving and getting stronger and it is the BEST feeling! Also, grip socks are super useful and if you don’t have, no worries, they sell them at the studio!
