I waited two weeks to write this review because I wanted to practice compassion. However, since my injury from an Inspire class is still not healed, it's important to share my experience.
I had done Lagree at MOOV in Seattle, but wanted a studio closer to home. I purchased the two-class pack and attended one class that left me sore for days, which was great. However, during the second class, which felt much easier than the first, I couldn't keep up with the quick transitions and injured my shoulder. I even heard a crack.
After class, I told the instructor about my injury, looking for guidance on what to do next. She said, "I am sorry you injured yourself, but thanks for coming," and hurried to chat with another—not injured—person. I would have expected some checking in to see if I needed assistance with my car or any help at all—yet, there was nothing.
I ended up driving myself to urgent care, and I've been on medication since then.
Here's the thing: don't be misled by the small class size—no modifications or personal attention are provided. There's an urgency to complete the entire workout in 40 minutes, so if you can't keep up, it's your concern. There's also no warm-up or cool-down; that responsibility falls entirely on you, and it seems they expect you to know this in advance. There are no different levels for classes; it is either the intro or the total body class, which does not seem to be modified to the class participants.
I have now heard about several women who tried Inspire and gave up on it, and I understand why.
It is not that Lagree is hard, it is that Inspire is not being responsible in how these class are facilitated. As one reviewer said, this is dangerous and I don't understand why these folks are in fitness.
Well said.

Really upsetting how rude they are to neighbor businesses. Non stop music playing that shakes the walls.

I was so excited to start my Pilates journey as I recommend this type of exercise to my patients. I tried the trial week and while I really do enjoy this type of movement, found the staff and environment to be cold and unpleasant. I told the instructor about my old knee injury and asked for alterations for certain movements. She seemed annoyed at my request and barely gave adjustments during class. This is actually dangerous and I’m not sure why these people are in fitness? While I will continue to recommend Pilates to my patients, I could never recommend Inspire.

I bought an unlimited month to try a few classes. Loved the first one and then did 3 in a week..

Now I’m on week 3 of recovering from a hamstring and adductor strain. Whoops.

Advice for new people- try a class but build up slow. I’ve now read articles “lagree fast results and fast injuries”

Good luck!

I joined this class back in January wanting to become stronger and to supplement my running since I hurt my hip. I really enjoy how much this class challenges me and the instructors do such a great job keeping us motivated while also creating an environment where everyone can go at their own pace. I’m looking forward to seeing the results and encourage anyone else thinking about trying Lagree to give it a shot.

Great place for high-intensity, low-impact lower body training.

CROWD: AMs tend to attract 20-30 year olds while PMs and weekends see a more diverse group in terms of age and ability range. Crowd heavily tilts female, but Lagree is a great strength and endurance builder for everyone.

LAYOUT: 10x Megaformers slightly staggered facing a mirrored wall. Classes, especially on Saturdays, fill up quickly. With only :40 and classes usually back-to-back, people tend to walk in the (back) door 5 minutes before class starts, drop their outerwear in the cubbies, and stretch on their own.

INTENSITY: Hard right from the first minute...and can be made harder or easier with instructor-designated modifications. Experience level of students ranges from "clearly has done this for years" to first time ClassPass-ers on a whim. The latter receive a quick introduction on the Megaformer from the friendly instructors. If you're brand new (and I think that means within your first 4 or so lessons), it's a good idea to position yourself in the center of the studio so you can look left and right to see how the exercise should be performed.

INSTRUCTORS: All great! Very willing to correct your form and tempo to ensure you're getting everything out of each repetition. Lagree takes a while to get the hang of--and you will reach muscle failure at least a few times during every class--so it's nice to have knowledgeable instructors ready to assist.

PARKING: California street parking is hit or miss most times, so the best bet is to park in the Safeway lot at the back of the studio and walk in the back door.

Highly recommend!

I leave every workout feeling great! It’s only 40 minutes, but it’s the most efficient workout I’ve done! The classes are small and the instructors are always pacing back and forth correcting your form to ensure you won’t hurt yourself.

The best, most challenging workout for sculpting your body you can get in 45 minutes. Way better than regular reformer or may Pilates. I look forward to my Inspire class all week!

Great work out. It’s a more challenging work out than traditional Pilates, focusing on small movement and targeting muscles that are harder to build. Very attentive instructor.
