FAQ.
about Lagree & our classes
What is Lagree?
Lagree is a high-intensity, low-impact training method combining strength, muscular endurance, stability and core work in one full-body workout. Slow, controlled movements and continuous resistance keep your muscles under tension throughout the class – and yes, you’ll probably shake.
What equipment do you use at core club.?
We train on 16 MegaPro machines, the latest generation of equipment developed specifically for the Lagree Method.
Do I need any previous Lagree experience?
Our Intermediate Classes follow a consistent routine for two weeks, giving you time to learn the movements, refine your form and progress from class to class. Intense Classes feature more challenging exercises and variations and are individually programmed by our instructors.
What’s the difference between Intermediate and Intense?
While the MegaPro may look similar to a Pilates Reformer at first glance, Lagree and Pilates are two very different methods. Lagree has a stronger focus on muscular strength and endurance, continuous tension and intensity, using equipment (Megaformers) specifically developed for the Lagree Method.
How long is a Lagree class?
Our regular Lagree classes are 50 minutes.
Can I combine Lagree with running, cycling or other training?
Absolutely. Lagree works particularly well alongside other forms of training by challenging strength, muscular endurance, core stability and control.
Do you offer Personal Training?
Yes. Our 50-minute Personal Training sessions are available 1:1 or 1:2 and are individually programmed around your experience, needs and focus. You can also choose the instructor you’d like to train with.
Can I train at core club. if I have an injury or physical limitations?
Many exercises can be adjusted to individual needs, and our instructors can offer modifications during class. If you’re currently injured, in pain or have been advised to limit movement, please check with your doctor or physiotherapist before booking and let us know before class.

Which class should I book for my first time?
Our Intermediate Class is the best place to start. You’ll learn the fundamentals of Lagree while still getting the full workout – and as you become more familiar with the movements, there’s always room to add intensity.
What should I know before my first class?
Please arrive 10–15 minutes early so we can show you around and introduce you to the MegaPro before class starts. No previous Lagree experience is required – we’ll guide you through everything you need to know.
Do I need Grip Socks?
Yes. Grip Socks are required for all Lagree classes for better grip and stability on the MegaPro, as well as for hygiene. You can bring your own or purchase a pair at the studio.
How early should I arrive?
No. Resistance, range of motion and exercises can be adjusted, allowing you to work at your own level. Our Intermediate Class is designed to be a great starting point while still challenging more experienced clients.
