Love, love, LOVE! Every instructor I've had so far has been incredible - kind, patient, and genuinely helpful. The classes are definitely challenging, but in the best way. They work muscles you didn't even realize needed strengthening. Each session is full-body focused and constantly reminds you to engage your core. When I first started, I could feel how weak my abs were, and now I can feel just how much stronger they've become. My legs are always on fire in that amazing burn-you-love kind of way! I've also noticed real changes in my body, not only in strength but in looking and feeling slimmer. There are only 11 spots/megaformers per class, and reservations open two weeks in advance. Make sure to book early, spots fill up fast! read more

I love the fact that I could burn 600 calories within 50 minutes by doing Lagree! World class instructors, immaculate facility and first class customer care experience. read more

Lagree NY - The Megaformer that helps me burn 600 calories within 50 minutes. - Gyms Near Me - Astoria, New York

Lagree is amazing!! Laurie and her team are the kindest people I know and I have genuinely come to think of them as family. I began taking classes at this studio a few years ago and it really makes a difference. The classes are challenging but so much fun. Every class is different and all of the instructors are so positive and encouraging. I would highly recommend this method to anyone looking for a low impact method or just a fun workout! I would definitely advise that it takes a few classes to feel comfortable with the method but keep going because it is so worth it! read more

One year in and this workout and studio has been a game changer. I have been a devoted Pilates follower for years - and still practice but this workout takes it to another level. At 56 yrs old my body has never been better. This workout is hard ! But worth it. This studio is amazing. Every instructor is welcoming , knowledgeable and fun ! Love this place and so mad I didn't go sooner read more

If you're looking for a precise, functional, kick-ass workout taught by some of the coolest staff you'll ever meet, you've come to the right place. Laurie, the owner and an instructor, is a literal dose of caffeine with a sunshine smile! Tiger will dance along to Sabrina Carpenter or Beyoncé while teaching a killer class and noticing each and every detail of your alignment. Sarah R rocks a Snow White vibe but don't be fooled- she will kick your a**! And Sarah L is not only INSANELY challenging but super creative with her choreography (like, no idea how she comes up with her sequences!) Mandy might be the nicest human alive and her OG Hip Hop playlists are to die for! Emily delivers an intense challenge with every class. Taking Andrea's class almost feels like a meditation -she has the calmest, most graceful vibe while instructing with detailed precision. And Marie is your go-to for a solid, challenging and creative workout with an awesome 80's playlist. (Everyone here is amazing - these are just my regular instructors due to scheduling) I clearly love this studio and highly recommend the workout! read more

Laurie is so approachable and warm. She took time to break things down for me and was eager to offer help and guidance with a big kind smile. I love her enthusiasm and excitement around her studio, the megaformers and the Lagree exercise method. So grateful to have crossed paths with her and will surely be joining Lagree NY next time i'm in the area! Thank you, Laurie! read more

I started talking class when the studio first opened and was immediately hooked. Class is continually challenging but I've never felt stronger and more confident! (Mentally and physically). Not to mention - Laurie has created a community of instructors and clients that support each other in equal measure. Do not feel like you need to have any baseline of strength to start- it's going to be hard and you're going to be sore either way. Trust. My advice is to take the leap and make sure you drink water and stretch A LOT. And then you'll be hooked too! :) read more

I figured that any gym that can get me to a class before noon on a Sunday deserves a five star review. This studio is fantastic, and has actually gotten me excited about working out after years of relative inactivity. I live right around the corner and after months of walking by, decided to try the 2 class intro pass for $32 (2 classes for the price of 1). I basically hadn't worked out beyond some yoga and a classpass here or there in almost a year, so needless to say I was nervous walking into my first class. For your first class, they are super welcoming and make sure you choose a megaformer in the middle so you have lots of points of reference and they can keep checking in with you. They usually do a demo as well so you learn a bit about proper form. Each exercise is also cued beforehand so you know where to go and can get there quickly. After your first two classes there's another special for three, so I did that, and by then I was totally addicted. I'm on class 10 or so now and there's still a lot I don't know, but I never feel embarrassed or behind because the instructors are SO encouraging, patient, and positive. There's a few moves that my muscles just don't seem to show up for yet (ahem, looking at you obliques...) and they are really good about pushing you and giving modifications when needed. The class is HARD from minute 1 to minute 49, but it's low impact and while your muscles are shaking, I don't ever feel pain or totally out of breath. After my first class I was so sore I could barely walk up and down stairs, but at the advice of the instructors I went back after two days and the workout made me feel a million times better. I still feel sore after each class, just not like the first one (thank god!) After ten classes, I've noticed a major difference in my arms, core, butt, and legs, and I even took a two week hiatus around the holidays. For the first few classes I stuck with Laurie and Eileen, because I had such positive experiences with them, but now I've branched out and taken other classes with Laura and Brent and they were equally awesome. Each instructor has their own style and music and I've thoroughly felt good every time I leave a class. You will be holding a lunge, muscles burning, butt twitching, and yet somehow laughing at the instructors' jokes and overall positivity. Yes, it is pricey if you pay per class and want to go a few times a week, but Lagree and other Pilates classes are always going to be expensive. After paying for monthly gym memberships I never used, I'd rather pay for something so motivational that works. I recently got a monthly membership that makes each class a bit cheaper and I'm happy I did. Also, they have fun specials, contests, and promotions and they use the MINDBODY app so it's super easy to book classes and check the schedule. If you're like me and reading yelp reviews, trying to find a workout class you'll enjoy, please take my advice and sign up! read more

Absolutely love Lagree! The classes themselves are very fun and challenging. I always look forward to my weekly workout here. Every single staff member I've met is extremely kind and welcoming. Love that this studio is a proud and active part of Astoria's community by forming bonds with other local businesses. Shout out to Marie and Eileen, my two favorite trainers! Their classes are excellent! read more

To say this is my happy place is an understatement. I am absolutely obsessed!!! I had gotten to a point in my life where I really liked working out but Lagree makes me love it. It challenges me in so many ways and I leave feeling like I really did something effective (and earned a little cheat!). The proof is visible: you'll see your muscles shaking while on the megaformer, you'll endlessly sweat, and you'll love the changes you notice in your body. The workout itself is intense--the megaformer might overwhelm you at first-- and it's definitely not easy-- but you'd be surprised what your body can handle. Like the amazing, empowering trainers say, it doesn't get easier-- you just become more accustomed and comfortable. Laurie, the owner, is a sweetheart who truly cares about her clients and it really is like a family. I've never taken a class with her or any trainer and been disappointed. Since starting this workout, I've noticed a change not only in my body (I never had a butt honestly) but also in my strength. Clearly, I have endless things to say so I'm gonna wrap it up with if you're looking for something new, fun, and challenging as well as results, you should try it read more

See all

Truly the best turning point for my fitness journey has been made at Lagree NY. Every workout is a new challenge in itself and the instructors are amazing at keeping you focused both mentally and physically. Not to mention, I've been seeing dramatic results on my body faster than any other workouts I've done in the past! I'm glad that at Lagree I can also target muscle groups that I hated working out before (inner thighs, obliques, and triceps.) Head to Lagree if you want a group class where not only will you get stronger but also feel empowered and confident at the end of each class. Sticking to these classes as long as I can! read more

I have been a part of the Lagree NY community since Feb 2018. It has changed my life in so many ways. In this beautiful welcoming fun and warm environment I not only found a kick ass workout routine but I found a community. Laurie (owner) and her staff are spectacular humans. I feel lucky to have this place in my neighborhood and in my life. The workout is unique and challenging. The instructors are knowledgeable and encouraging. The environment is safe and nurturing. And you feel like part of something special. My spirit and body has been transformed and I feel tremendous gratitude to Laurie and my lagree family. Please do yourself a favor and stop by. You won't regret it. You might not be able to walk after the class but you'll be happy you did it. read more

Love Lagree! The class sets all your muscles on fire! You will be shaking for hours after. Tiger and Laurie are my favorite instructors!

Lagree is amazing!! Laurie and her team are the kindest people I know and I have genuinely come to think of them as family. I began taking classes at this studio several months ago and I am blown away by the results. Just going 3 times a week has made a world of difference. The classes are challenging but so much fun. Every class is different and all of the instructors are so positive and encouraging. I would highly recommend this method to anyone looking for a low impact method or just a fun workout! I would definitely advise that it takes a few classes to feel comfortable with all the exercises but to keep going because it is so worth it! read more

Took my first class with Marie and wow! Marie was great! Very inviting and attentive. Thoroughly went through the steps and was encouraging throughout the whole workout. Whether the move was challenging or not, she was there not only as a guide but support. There was acceptance of all levels of fitness and made it fun as well with the great music. It's that good kind of torture lol! Im feeling it the second day but I am signing up for my second class because of her! read more

This class will KICK your ass...but then then you check out your ass and you're like damn....this does work. Both a fun and challenging workout with teachers and a community that make you feel welcome. Special shoutout to my favorite teachers, Andrea & Eilleen you ladies are incredible! Ladies if you are in Astoria do yourself a favor and take a class, your body will thank you!!!! read more

I am SO grateful that there is a Lagree method studio in Astoria!! It's like the pregnancy angels heard my complaints about not having megaformers in Astoria and brought this studio to the neighborhood a few moths before the birth of my first child. The Lagree method is, by far, the best and most efficient workout I've ever had. I first heard of the Lagree method 3 years ago, when I asked a friend, who was preparing for her wedding, what workout she had been doing since she looked fantastic. She told me all about the Lagree method and was doing the workout 3x/week. I ended up trying the workout myself and fell in love with it, but the classes were really far from my home at the time and it was difficult for me to continue to attend them. But now, I am thankful that I can walk 10 minutes to this studio! And at 6 weeks postpartum after my first child, this workout is #1 on my self-care list! The owner (Laurie) is also extremely friendly, and I love that she has been supporting the local mom community by offering deals and mom-centric events! read more

Great full body workout!! Excellent instructors and staff - supportive and welcoming!!

Best workout I've ever done! Instructors are all great and amazing at helping you modify any positions that may be outside of your physical level. I would definitely recommend two classes... then you are hooked! read more

i love this studio SO much! it's the perfect place to tune out all the stress and chaos and just sweat and feel great for an hour. it's challenging, but completely modifiable. every single instructor that i have taken (almost all of them) are incredible. Marie's foundations class were the first classes I took at Lagree NY. Not only does she explain what Lagree is, but she slowly explains the machine, how to use it safely and properly, and makes you feel completely comfortable and confident to push yourself. i love night sessions with Tiger, Jamie, and Sarah! I look forward every Friday morning with Natasha. It's the perfect start to the weekend. I always love the feeling after class, so energized and ready to take on the day! Laurie is incredible and the sweetest! i have been consistently coming to Lagree NY for four months and not only do i see a physical change in my body, but mentally I feel great! I encourage anyone to give this studio a try!!!! read more

Lagree is the best! I bought the 2-for-1 class pass on a whim and I've never looked back! The instructors and staff could not be more supportive and the workout is read more

My favorite workout studio in all of New York! So glad I found this place and decided to go in. It's close to where I live and it feels like a hometown studio. Everyone here is so friendly - even the other members. The instructors take the time to get to know everyone and you really feel like you're in the company of friends. The workout is brutal in the best way possible. It's tough but it flies by and feels so rewarding after. I usually take class on the weekends with Marie. She's one of the best fitness instructors I've ever encountered. So clear in her direction, so motivating and she really pushes you to do things you didn't think were possible. I feel so strong and accomplished after every class. The space itself is clean, inviting and has lots of light. I love the mural of the Astoria bridge on the wall - you feel like you're part of a community here! read more

I don't even know where to start, and cannot sing the praises of Lagree NY enough! I've been coming close to 8 months now, and from the beginning Laurie and all of the instructors I've had have been so warm, welcoming and knowledgeable that you feel immediately at ease. Sometimes boutique studios can be a bit intimidating, especially when it's your first time, but that isn't the case here at all. Now to the workout - I'm super active, spin and HIIT mainly so adding lagree to my workout routine was perfect, but let me say it never gets easier (that's the fun of it haha). I also legit have not seen a change in my body like I've seen with lagree and I only go twice a week - the strength of my muscles, definition etc makes it soo worth going to - it's addicting! read more

Love this place I just started here and I bought a 12 class package for 3 months. I'm addicted and the trainers are super nice and attentive

More than a year later of regularly attending Lagree NY and I feel like I am truly apart of a community (and also physically a lot stronger!) All the instructors make you feel welcomed and have their own style. This is truly a judgement free facility. Classes can be modified to your ability, but even after taking Lagree for nearly 3 years (I used to take classes regularly at another spot), each class continues to challenge me. I have NEVER gotten through one class without taking a moment (or several) to regroup! read more

I started taking Lagree classes in March 2018, once I discovered the cozy studio in my neighborhood. It seemed intimidating at first, especially after having a baby, but I fell in love with it from the get go. Laurie, Andrea, Brent are all amazing and great teachers. The megaformer will get you sore in places you never knew existed. I love it, even when I feel all the shakes! It's addictive. read more

Lagree NY has become my go-to spot for not only fitness but self-care as a whole. The space is warm and welcoming, the instructors are encouraging, and the music is always fire. It's led me to look forward to working out six to seven times a week (and that's really saying something considering for the past year or so it's been a struggle to make it to the gym even once or twice a week). And if you're looking to laugh your way and genuinely enjoy yourself from scrambled eggs to cobra to giant spoon, be sure to book with Eileen and Laura (but be quick, as Laura's going on maternity leave at the end of October 2019). read more

I got recommended from a friend, I've taken a class very similar before. They're so effective and a surprisingly tough workout, without straining/overworking your body. I didn't look at the clock once, you're so focused on all of the slow and controlled movements, it really kicks your ass in the most loving way possible, if that makes sense! I had their 2 for 1 special which they have for beginners. I think you have to wear grip socks, I'm not sure if you can go barefoot or not but either way they have those there for purchase. Laurie was really sweet and helpful. Can't wait to go back! read more

The few times that I was fortunate enough to go to Lagree, I had such a great experience every time. Everyone is so patient in explaining the positions as well as making the studio feel like home. I am so upset to be leaving Astoria because I know I will never find a Pilates place as great as Lagree! read more

Sooo happy that there is a megaformer workout in Astoria! The 45 minute sessions will have you soaked in sweat and your muscles will be trembling. You even feel the burn the day after! Laurie and her team are very upbeat, personable and sticklers for form. The studio is conveniently located on 23rd ave (off the ditmars stop- close to the Bonnie). Do not forget to bring your grip socks- if you do, they have them for sale at the studio! read more

This is my favorite new place to work out! I am a really big guy with a lot of old knee and joint injuries and it's so hard to find a high intensity workout that doesn't inflame old wounds. Lagree is high intensity and Low impact which is perfect. This is one of the hardest classes I've ever done and it engages muscles I didn't even know existed before. Laurie the owner and her staff are incredible and caring and it is a joy to be in their classes. My favorite instructor is Laura Gilreath, she is high energy, attentive, welcoming and most of all she is so so so funny! Her little jokes keep you going all 50 minutes. Could not recommend this class more! read more

I completely LaaaAGREE with all the other reviewers' positive experiences about this studio! I don't have much to add except - I strongly encourage anyone wanting to try a new workout, to take a class here! I didn't workout at all before I started - totally not in shape and nervous to start. I figured I would try it out and then probably fall off like other times. But when you feel your muscles shaking in class like they never have before, you come out of class feeling assured that something just happened. Then I became intrigued to what the results will look like from the feeling of such an effective workout! 7 months later, I'm way more fit then I have been in years and the workout is still challenging and effective. What's great though is your body feels stronger and more tone just after a couple of classes (google what Megan Markle says about results after just 2 Lagree classes!) As other have said, it's true after working out here you become more self-confident from your physical achievements and proud of your new fit life. You will hear most of the instructors (which are all amazing) talk about self care which at the end of the day is the real goal and you get that here! read more

LagreeNY has been the best fitness studio that I have ever been a part of. The Lagree workout method has positively changed the way I feel about fitness. I love using my own body weight and resistance from the megaformer machine to get lean with low impact, but high intensity exercises. With patience and consistency, everyone can be successful at Lagree! Besides the amazing machines, the trainers and community are my favorite. All staff members are so friendly and always greet you with a smile. It is not long before you become a regular and feel like a part of the LagreeNY family. I frequent my favorite trainers Laura, Brett, Eileen, and Laurie, whose classes are amazing as they provide motivation throughout the entire workout. This is in no way putting down the other trainers, as I can express with certainty that they are all equally amazing. I had to move from Astoria, but you best believe that I will make the trip back to get a class in whenever I can! read more

I love this studio !! Such an intense work out but you truly feel stronger after a session. All the instructors are really kind and helpful especially if it's your first class. Towels included and bathroom is stocked and always clean which is nice :) Definitely try out Lagree. You won't be disappointed! read more

I recently discovered this workout on the megaformer, and I LOVE it! Especially great that there is a location in Astoria! It's a great complement to HIIT, great on the joints, and definitely a good challenge! I highly recommend the location in Astoria -- Laurie is really nice and the staff is super attentive! They definitely make a point of noticing all the clients while working out and help out if necessary. Definitely recommend Lagree in Astoria! AnnaS read more

This is long overdue! I had the pleasure of taking two classes (that 2 for one special is great!) with Andrea. Fantastic workout. You're challenged the entire time, but not overwhelmed. And it's very humbling - if you think you're in good shape, take one of these classes and then think about it. You'll use every muscle in your body and feel incredible afterward. Also, the studio is beautiful. Lots of natural light, very open and airy and comfortable temperature. Super clean as well. If I could, I'd be taking class here twice a week. Have to start playing the lottery..... read more

I have fibromyalgia and it turns out this type of fitness is not for me but it was an overall positive experience. Laurie was very friendly and greeted me when I came in to the studio. She also sent an email later in the week to follow up. Great staff, great place, just not something I can do. I'd highly recommend it to anyone looking for an intense low impact workout! read more

I never thought I could have any sort of definition in my arms or feel as strong as I do--mentally and physically--but that's exactly what I get out of a workout at Lagree NY! Laurie has created a wonderful community of instructors and clients who perfectly balance challenging yourself while honoring your body and your efforts (and there's a LOT of effort, you're inspired to not coast in this class!). I've been coming every since they opened and am completely hooked. Thanks to Laurie and her whole team for making something super-challenging super-fun! read more

I love the classes here. They're super challenging, And I always feel amazing after taking one. All the instructors are great. Very supportive and helpful. I recommend these classes for a great, full body work out. read more

Love this place !!! I am trying to get at least a class per week in my schedule. Instructors are the best and are always were attentive to your form and trying to help you modify for injuries! I definitely recommend this studio read more
