I like to think of myself as fairly fit. Or at least I did before trying my first Lagree class. It took just one highly slowed down crunch on the edge of my Megaformer (the amped-up reformer-like contraption on which the workout is based) for my body to start involuntarily shaking. “That’s the sign that you’ve activated your slow twitch muscle fibres,” the instructor says as she notices my sweaty and very shocked face. “Get used to it.”
Despite being named the top workout on ClassPass last year and boasting a list of celebrity fans that include Michelle Obama, Kim Kardashian, Sofia Vergara, Jennifer Aniston and the Duchess of Sussex, there’s been no licensed Lagree studio in London — until now.
