What is a Sculpt + Burn class? [+]

What does "Down", "Up" and "360" mean? [+]
A "Down", "Up" and "360" are for the 20 minute Mega portion of the Sculpt + Burn class. A "Down" class means we are focusing on lower body, core and obliques. A "Up" class means we are focusing on upper body, core and obliques. A "360" class means full body.
What is a VersaClimber? [+]
A VersaClimber aka a Versa is a full body workout that combines zero to low impact, high intensity, vertical cardio with resistance training.
Is slow-motion, high-intensity strength training really more effective? [+]
A study of male and female subjects between 25 and 82 years of age conducted over a 10-week period, showed a 59% increase in overall strength using slow-speed repetitions compared to a 39% increase with traditional repetition speed. So yes, it is more effective. Moving slowly will stimulate more muscle fibers.
What about cardio? [+]
The Lagree fitness method is cardiovascular. We also have the VersaClimber which is great extra cardio.
How often should I work out? [+]
There is no magic number, but we have seen that clients who get the most desirable and most dramatic results are training with us two to three times a week, with at least one day of recovery time between sessions. Once a week is fine for very elite athletes who are practicing their sport every day, or for those on the other end of the spectrum, with chronic fatigue or fibromyalgia, who may require a full week to recover. The rest of us, in order to stay in a fitness lifestyle, do best with two to three weekly workouts. Remember that you cannot out-train a bad diet. If your goal is to shed a lot of fat quickly, you will need to train more frequently.
What to Wear & Bring
What do I need to bring to class? [+]
Each client needs a pair of grip socks. If you don’t have any, you can purchase a pair at the Lagree fitness studio before your first class. You will need sneakers for the Burn30 and Sculpt + Burn classes as well. We also recommend bringing water and a towel. We have a water filling station.
What do I wear? [+]
Wear comfortable workout clothes. Grip socks are required for every class, and if you are taking a Burn30 or Sculpt + Burn class sneakers are required.
