Lagree Master Trainer Certification: Path, Cost, and Requirements
Lagree Master Trainer certification is the advanced path for instructors who want to certify others. Here is the cost and what counts.
Lagree Master Trainer certification is the advanced instructor path for people who want to do more than teach classes. At the Master Trainer level, the role shifts toward educating other instructors, protecting method standards, and supporting studio growth. The important part: not every workshop, mentorship, or local studio training counts. Lagree's official pages separate Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 certification, and Lagree Academy warns instructors to confirm whether a course is recognized before booking. > **Key Takeaways** > - [Lagree Master Trainer certification is Level 3](#lagree-master-trainer-certification-path) > - [Lagree lists Level 3 at $4,900](#lagree-master-trainer-certification-cost) > - [Level 3 is listed as in-person at Lagree Fitness HQ](#level-3-master-level-certification-requirements) > - [Only recognized Lagree Fitness seminars count toward the official path](#what-counts-as-official-lagree-training) > - [Most instructors should master teaching first, then pursue advanced certification](#who-should-pursue-master-trainer-certification) ## Lagree Master Trainer Certification Path Lagree Fitness describes a three-level certification ladder. Level 1 is the basic Lagree teaching certificate. Level 2 is advanced training through individual courses. Level 3 is the Master Level Certification, which Lagree says gives the instructor the ability to certify others in the Lagree Method. That makes Master Trainer certification a serious career step, not a badge to collect after a few classes. A realistic path usually looks like this: 1. Take official Level 1 Lagree certification. 2. Teach consistently and refine cueing, sequencing, timing, and corrections. 3. Add Level 2 advanced training in form, teaching, cueing, sequencing, and movement categories. 4. Confirm which courses are officially recognized by Lagree Fitness. 5. Apply for or attend Level 3 Master Level Certification when you have the experience and approval path to use it. If you are just starting, read our [Lagree instructor career guide](/blog/how-to-become-a-lagree-instructor-certification-cost-and-career-path) first. If you already teach, compare the Master Trainer path with [Lagree instructor jobs](/blog/lagree-instructor-jobs-where-to-find-open-roles-and-what-studios-look-for) and [Lagree instructor salary](/blog/lagree-instructor-salary-pay-per-class-hourly-rates-and-what-affects-earnings). ## Lagree Master Trainer Certification Cost Lagree Fitness lists these certification prices on its official certification page: | Certification level | Official listed price | Format shown by Lagree | |---|---:|---| | Level 1 Certificate | $2,900 | In-person or virtual training | | Level 2 Certificate | $290 per Level 2 course | In-person or virtual training | | Level 3 Certificate | $4,900 | In-person, official through Lagree HQ | The Level 3 price is the Master Trainer headline, but the real investment is larger than one fee. Most instructors should also account for Level 1 cost, multiple Level 2 courses, travel, lodging, missed teaching time, class practice, and time spent mentoring or assisting. For studio owners, the cost may be worth it if the business needs an internal education lead who can support auditions, onboarding, quality control, and future training events. For a part-time instructor, it only makes sense if it unlocks real teaching, leadership, or education opportunities. ## Level 3 Master Level Certification Requirements Lagree's current certification page describes Level 3 Master Level Certification as in-person at Lagree Fitness HQ with Sebastien Lagree. It lists a Saturday six-hour training session and Sunday six-hour training session, each from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM, with a price of $4,900. Lagree also states that completing Level 3 makes you a Master Trainer and gives you the ability to certify others in the Lagree Method. That is why preparation matters. A strong candidate should already be comfortable with: - Lagree method principles and class structure - Safe spring-load decisions and modifications - Precise cueing under time pressure - Form corrections without derailing class flow - Sequencing that matches the method, not random hard moves - Coaching new instructors without turning every correction into a lecture - Representing official Lagree standards clearly If your foundation is shaky, more advanced initials will not fix it. Spend more time teaching, reviewing form, and taking recognized advanced courses first. ## What Counts as Official Lagree Training Lagree Academy's certification page is blunt on this point. Only training seminars offered through Lagree Fitness and taught by a Certified Master Teacher Trainer are recognized by Lagree Fitness. Lagree Academy also says many studios offer their own continuing education classes, but those courses do not grant access to the Lagree database and do not count toward earning a Master Teacher Trainer Certificate. The page tells students they can contact info@lagreefitness.com to confirm whether a course is recognized. That matters for anyone spending thousands of dollars on education. Before booking a course, verify: - Is the training offered through Lagree Fitness or Lagree Academy? - Is the educator a Certified Master Teacher Trainer? - Does the course grant database access or official recognition? - Does it count toward the Master Teacher Trainer path? - Is it Level 1, Level 2, Level 3, or just local continuing education? Local mentorship can still be useful. It just should not be confused with official certification credit. ## Who Should Pursue Master Trainer Certification? Master Trainer certification makes the most sense for three groups. First, career instructors who want to become educators, not just high-performing teachers. Second, studio owners who need stronger internal training, standards, and launch support. Third, regional leaders who may help develop instructor pipelines across multiple locations. It is probably not the right first move if you are still deciding whether you like teaching, still building class confidence, or hoping the credential alone will create demand. | Candidate type | Better next step | |---|---| | New Lagree fan | Take more classes and learn the method first | | New instructor | Complete Level 1 and teach consistently | | Working instructor | Add Level 2 courses around form, cueing, and sequencing | | Lead instructor | Explore Level 3 if you are already mentoring others | | Studio owner | Use Master Trainer education to protect class quality and hiring | For studio owners planning a launch, pair training decisions with [Lagree studio software](/blog/lagree-studio-software-scheduling-payments-apps-reports) and [Lagree studio business plan](/blog/lagree-studio-business-plan) research. Certification is one part of the machine, not the whole business. ## How to Verify a Lagree Master Trainer Course Before Paying Do not rely on a pretty landing page. Verify the training directly. Use this checklist: 1. Find the course on Lagree Fitness or Lagree Academy. 2. Confirm the educator's Master Teacher Trainer status. 3. Confirm the level of the course. 4. Ask whether it grants database access or official credit. 5. Ask whether it counts toward Master Teacher Trainer certification. 6. Save written confirmation before paying a deposit. Then use [Lagree Near Me](/) to compare nearby studios, trainer quality, and local demand before investing in the next credential. ## Lagree Master Trainer Certification FAQs ### How much is Lagree Master Trainer certification?
