## What Is Lagree?

Lagree is a workout method performed on a Megaformer machine. It combines strength, cardio, and core training using time under tension—muscles stay engaged throughout each exercise.

## Key Points

The workout emphasizes slow movements (4-second counts) and constant muscle engagement. You'll shake—that's normal and means you're working at the right intensity.

Classes are small (8-12 people), and instructors provide modifications for every exercise.

## Getting Started

- Arrive 10 min early for your first class
- Wear fitted clothes and grip socks
- Expect to be sore 24-48 hours later
- Start with 2-3 classes per week
