Lagree Fitness Trainer Since 2019
Lagree Fitness
About
I started teaching Lagree in 2019 at OneLagree and was immediately drawn to the intensity, mindfulness, and connection to community and music. That combination is what keeps me coming back—Lagree creates a space where people can challenge themselves, stay present, and feel connected to their bodies and the room around them.
My approach is shaped by thousands of hours of hands-on coaching and continued training. I began my training at OneLagree, became Level 1 certified through SculptHouse in Dallas, and went through training again while teaching at Transform in Colorado, where I deepened my understanding of the Lagree method. I focus on clear, simple coaching, meeting people where they are, and helping them build strength, control, and awareness over time.
Over the past 7 years, I’ve taught Lagree in group settings and worked with a wide range of clients—from athletes focused on performance to those navigating aging, rebuilding strength, or simply looking to move and feel better in their bodies. I’ve taught throughout the DFW area, spent three years coaching in Colorado, and now I’m back in Texas bringing those experiences into my classes and privates.

FAQs

Though they may look similar at first glance, Lagree and Pilates are completely different methods with distinct goals and principles.
Lagree is a high-intensity, low-impact workout performed on the Megaformer (not a reformer) that blends strength training, endurance, and core stability. It uses continuous tension, controlled tempo, and strategic sequencing to create a deep muscular burn and rapid results—leaving you shaking, sweating, and strong.
Pilates, on the other hand, focuses on posture, alignment, flexibility, and mindful control. It’s slower and more restorative, emphasizing breath and precision rather than muscular intensity.

Lagree builds muscular endurance, core control, mobility, and proper alignment, all while protecting spine and joint health. The method’s slow, controlled movements strengthen stabilizers and improve posture, helping athletes move more efficiently and recover faster. Because it targets deep muscle engagement without impact, Lagree is an ideal complement for endurance athletes, runners, skiers, powerlifters, bodybuilders, professional athletes, and others looking to enhance performance, balance, and longevity in their training.

Lagree uses spring-loaded variable tension instead of static weight resistance, creating a workout that constantly challenges your muscles through every inch of movement.
Unlike free weights—which only provide resistance in a vertical plane due to gravity—springs offer multidirectional tension, engaging muscles on both vertical and horizontal planes. This means you’re strengthening through a fuller range of motion and recruiting stabilizers that static weights can miss.
Spring resistance also provides continuous, adjustable tension, preventing momentum or “cheating” through reps. The result is deeper muscle activation, improved endurance, and functional strength—without the joint strain or impact of heavy lifting.
In short: static weights build strength; variable tension builds control, endurance, and total-body stability.
