Lagree is a high-intensity, low-impact workout on a machine called the Megaformer. Classes last 40–50 minutes and involve slow, controlled movements that keep muscles under constant tension. ## What to Wear to Lagree Class ### Bottoms **Leggings** are the best choice. They stay in place and don't catch on the machine. Avoid loose shorts or pants — they bunch up and can snag on springs or handles. High-waisted leggings work well because you'll be in plank and lunge positions often. Make sure they're not see-through (do a squat test at home). ### Tops **Fitted tank tops or sports bras** are ideal. The tighter the better — loose fabric catches on the machine's moving parts. Avoid oversized T-shirts or baggy tanks. They ride up during exercises and get in the way. ### Socks **Grip socks are required** at most Lagree studios. These have rubber dots on the bottom to prevent slipping. Studios usually sell them for $10–$15 if you forget yours. Regular socks don't work — you'll slide on the carriage. Barefoot isn't allowed for hygiene reasons. ### What NOT to Wear - Loose clothing (shorts, baggy shirts) - Shoes (you work in socks only) - Jewelry (rings, bracelets, long necklaces — they catch on cables) - Anything with zippers or hardware that could damage the machine ## What to Bring - **Water bottle** — You'll sweat. Bring water. - **Towel** — Most studios provide them, but bring your own if you prefer - **Hair tie** — Long hair needs to be tied back - **Deodorant** — Optional but considerate ## Do Studios Have Dress Codes? Most Lagree studios have guidelines: - Form-fitting clothes required - Grip socks required - No shoes on the equipment - No jewelry that could damage the machine If you show up in loose clothing, they'll probably let you take class but suggest you dress differently next time. ## What About First-Timers? Wear what you'd wear to any fitness class, but make it fitted. If you don't have grip socks, you can buy them at the studio. Don't stress about having the perfect outfit — just avoid anything loose or baggy. ## Frequently Asked Questions **Do I need to buy special clothes for Lagree?** No. Standard workout leggings and a fitted tank work fine. The only specialty item is grip socks, which you can buy at the studio. **Can I wear shorts to Lagree?** Technically yes, but fitted bike shorts work better than loose running shorts. Leggings are preferred because you'll be sliding on the carriage and shorts can ride up. **Are grip socks really necessary?** Yes. Regular socks are too slippery, and barefoot isn't allowed. Grip socks keep you stable on the carriage and platforms. **What if I forget grip socks?** Most studios sell them for $10–$15. Some studios let you borrow a pair for your first class. **Can I wear a sports bra without a shirt?** Yes, if you're comfortable. Many people do. Just make sure it's supportive — you'll be moving in all directions. **Should I bring a towel?** Studios usually provide towels, but bringing your own is fine. You'll sweat, so you'll want one nearby.
