I've been going to LFBA for about a month now and I absolutely love it. I was nervous at first because I've never taken a Lagree class before, but the instructors here are very welcoming, great at instructing, and highly energetic! My favorite instructor so far has been Job Bautista - his teaching style and schedule works best for me. These classes are HARD, but Job does an amazing job at making time go by fast and I always feel great after class! Highly recommend! read more

CRUSH YOUR GOALS here at SMUV! The instructors here are awesome - Katrina, Gabby, Richelle Reese and Richelle Gali are inspirational and drivers to be the best you! read more

So happy to have found this lagree studio! Almost done with my intro month package and I already notice a difference in body composition and endurance. There are lots of amazing instructors so try multiple teachers and see whose class you vibe with most. Can't recommend Richelle enough. Definitely feel way more sore after a class with her. read more

I have been to SMUV for the past two weeks (4 classes total) with two instructors, Kat (studio owner) and Sharon. Before going to my first class with Kat, I was very nervous, as I usually do before any group classes. I'm afraid to mess up and go out of my comfort zone. However, Kat welcomed me and she showed me the ropes of the Megareformer, which is different from the typical pilates reformer I had used in the past. She truly kicked my ass, but in the best way possible! I felt so challenged during the class, but I left feeling powerful and excited! I immediately signed up for the new client promotion. Today, I took Sharon's class, and she truly kicked my ass as well. SMUV does not play around but they will not waste any second during the class. You'll thank them later! Thank you both for welcoming me with open arms! I am beyond excited to see what's next. read more

I've been looking for a work out class that helps me strengthen my core and upper body. When my friend told me to check out LFBA, I took an advantage of the free trial class and immediately feel in love with it. The class was engaging and challenging that 40 mins went by quickly. Class size is small- 7 students. The equipments are nice and clean. I like how the instructor went around and correct my posture if I did a move incorrectly. After the class, I was sore for a good 2 days!! I eventually purchased a package to continue with my lagree classes. read more

How are you supposed to get any help or answers when they constantly have the phones off the hook all day long?

This is my favorite Megaformer studio in the South Bay! Super cute, clean equipment, and awesome instructors. The routines here are always killer (what's worse than a workout that doesn't burn?) and the instructors are really good about correcting form. I think that's particularly important for Megaformer, which has a steep learning curve. The location is also convenient right off the freeway and located in a strip mall with easy parking. If you're in the area, this is definitely the place to get your burn on! read more

I've been going to LFBA SJ for the past 6 months now and it has been a great experience so far! The classes are structured well, the studio is the perfect size, and the instructors are so knowledgeable. All of the staff members are so sweet and helpful, would highly recommend to anyone interested in trying out lagree! read more

SMÜV is perfect for anyone looking for a short, effective workout. Their instructions are great, music is killer, and they are so warm and welcoming. I have been searching for a Pilates studio in the bay. I started doing Pilates when I wanted a quick yet effective workout and have been doing Lagree for over 2 years. It's the perfect workout but I moved from Southern CA, so I had to find a new place. I tried 4 or 5 other Pilates AND lagree studios here, but definitely feel like SMÜV is the best fit because the instructors are incredible. It can seem intimidating but the instructors are so helpful to explain the workout as you go (don't be too scared to look silly- we all have!) Katrina will kick your butt- I seriously get off of the machine feeling like I can conquer the world. Kat focuses on your form and is super helpful with adjustments (to make it harder or easier!). Gabby is also SO good. She is super encouraging. They both keep it interesting and fun- Lagree is built up of common moves but they make them complex and exciting. I seriously can't get enough!!!! First, it is only 40 minutes. For me, leaving the house, working out, and arriving back is one hour. I can never find an excuse since it is so effective in a short amount of time. Second, I get SORE. I have been doing this form of exercise for a couple of years- there is always a way to make it more challenging or more simple, depending where you are at. If you've ever had any injuries, all of the instructors at SMÜV are careful and supportive to help you either strengthen those muscles or protect your injury. The table and exercise itself is also great for that! I can't recommend SMÜV enough to people looking for a short workout. A couple of my friends tried it and absolutely loved it. My boyfriend even said he was super sore of a couple of days after. I am so sad they aren't open but am just waiting for when things can open up and I can get back into the studio :) read more

I feel so terrible for not writing this review earlier, but also not trying to write a review because I want to keep Kat all to myself!! Hahah, THAT is how great of an instructor she is. Lagree is something that I always had an interest in, but it was hard to find a studio that was near home and charging the monthly fees at a decent price. It wasn't until my friend told me about this studio, and ever since I tried that free class, I was hooked!! I've also read how you only really need 3-4 classes a week to see results! This is true because I've seen how much stronger I've gotten and it's been amazing! I am always challenged in every class I take and love how motivating she is throughout this 40 minute work out class! Anyways....Check her studio out! She put a lot of hard work into putting this place together!! read more

I never thought I would be a "regular" at fitness class as I never really got into working out nor did I enjoy it. But...it feels different here. The classes can be intense when you first try it, but it's also so rewarding once you get used to it. It was out of my comfort zone and challenging, but I felt so good every time I left the class. I love that I still feel like I have energy and time since it's only 40 mins! The last class is at 6:30PM and you're done by 7:10PM. Perfect because the sun is still out and you can still grab groceries/dinner. The team is super welcoming and will always give you an intro to the machine and provide alternative moves (if needed) for your first class. Every instructor has their own routine which challenges you in different ways every class. I've taken it with Richelle, Katrina, Vera and Sharon and loved each one! Best part is that the first class is free and you can see if this is something you'd like to do. read more

During the workouts there are literally moments where I think, "omg why am I here?" Alas, at the end of the intense 40 minute session, I feel rejuvenated and utterly euphoric. The first time was the most challenging because I maneuvered my body in ways I'd never before! My recovery after my first time felt akin to my first post-snowboard trip. Sore for days. However, ya know, I persevered and plan to remain a loyal customer. tl;dr awesome 40 min instructed workouts held at multiple times per day. read more

If you need a comprehensive, full-body 40 minute killer workout try one of SMUV's Lagree classes. Yes, these will be 40 minutes of sweat but no pain no gain, right? What I like about the Lagree method is that the megaperformer machines are designed to give you a full body workout without spending hours in the gym. The classes are taught by passionate and knowledgeable instructors (Kat is amazing!), available for all skill levels. One of the perks I'm actually excited about are towel service and free treats from local businesses (gotta love the Margaritas and Kombuchas). read more

A workout like NEVER BEFORE!!! Right when you walk into the studio, it's clean, bright and chic! Katrina is one of the best trainers in the game. She will will work you till you drop, literally. Reformer Pilates is great because you workout core muscles that have never been tapped into. I'm an avid gym goer, mostly weight lifting, and this class will make you realize you're body is still weak. Katrina is the best cheerleader and coach, she will make sure you're doing all the moves properly and optimally so you're truly working out the correct muscles and not injuring yourself. I highlyyyyy recommend this studio! They also have amazing deals unlike all the other reformer pilate studios in the Bay Area/LA and also the BEST TRAINERS. read more

My first time here and wow! Within the first 5 minutes, I was already sweating and I totally underestimated this megaformer bad boy. There were lots of isolation and slow movements that work your ENTIRE body. I thought I knew how to do lunges and squats...but nope not on the megaformer. I nearly lost balance about a gazillion times. Kat is a wonderful coach! The minute I walked in, she greeted me with a smile and showed me around. Easy to talk to and approachable. Also encouraging and firm when she pushes you to help correct your form or when you want to give up and cry she is there to tell you.."one more just one more you can do it". Haha, I can tell she loves what she does. I've done OTF, running , barre and aero fitness. This is definitely a challenge and the megaformer kicked my ass. I was looking for something between the lines of low impact but total body workout (make me sweat). I'm excited to see results and am already a fan! Plus, the 45$ for 7 days is a steal! Come check it out :) and the ocho candy... delicious treat! read more

love LFBA!! I was doing pilates before this and only went because my friend wanted me to go with her but ultimately fell in love with it. wanted to do something 1x a week besides the gym that really pushes me and this was the best decision. love all my classes with everyone's specially roe! pushes you while motivating you!! read more

Ok, this review is long overdue. To give some background, I'm a gym type of person who was very curious in taking fitness group classes. I had seen one of my good friends post SMUV on her instagram and was immediately curious to try it. I tried it 2 days later in one of Kat's community classes and have been addicted ever since! Lagree is definitely not as familiar as other fitness classes like pilates, yoga, etc but damn, it should be! You're essentially on one machine the whole entire time working/focusing on different muscle groups. Although it sounds simple, it buuuurrnns. The good kind of burn where you feel muscles you've never worked out before or simply muscles your building. Kat is awesome! She's the owner and instructor of SMUV. She is so nice and you can see the passion she has for her business and clients. She'll push you to get better and really encourages the growth of her SMUV-ies (lol I made that up). She's built a great community and I've met lots of people here. I was lucky to be part of her founders and am excited to see my progress in my Lagree journey! read more

Yaaaay finally a Lagree studio opened up in San Jose! I've been doing this for 3+ years now and I love the megaformer. It's the best workout I've done and really works the core. Katrina was a great instructor - energetic, attentive and had a tough routine. The studio was clean and had a cute little lounge area in the back. Towels were also provided! Definitely dropping by when I visit my parents in the area. read more

Check out Kat and her awesome studio in San Jose! Kat is one of the most passionate coaches I've ever met in the world of Lagree Fitness. She's precise, knows exactly what she's talking about and above all knows how to keep every safe while getting this style of movement down. I'm a lifter that has constant issue with my hips and low back and sometimes I need to get out of my comfort zone and try something new. Very glad Kat and her studio was the place I decided to try out. As a fellow gym owner myself in San Jose I am very glad see Kat go after her fitness dreams and making it happen. Would definitely recommend her to any of my clients! read more

I took Kat's class and it was intense and satisfying. One of those classes that goes by fast because your just focusing on how your muscles are burning throughout it. I weight lift and do cardio consistently so even with being athletic I was still sweating! read more

Very lovely instructors. Highly recommend. The workout is HARD, I mean I don't think I've done a workout this hard. But you leave feeling accomplished. As a first timer, I felt very welcomed. The environment is very nice and positive. Very cleanly. Richelle and Roenna are amazing teachers. Great music as well! read more

I am really impressed with the hospitality at this studio. All the trainers remember your name and provide correction/adjustments. I've been to other places with Megaformers but the trainers and the welcoming attitude here definitely set them apart. I went to my first class with Roe and since then have taken classes with Toby and Job :) Taking advantage of the SMUVember deal they have going on right now and loving adding them to my fitness routine. read more

RESULTS ONLY CLASS! OK so I've never taken Yoga, Pilates prior to going to this class. I joined last summer and just wanted something quick... as a busy full-time working Mom with kids/teenager.. I was like this 40 minutes better be worth my time.. AND MY GOODNESS, when I tell you this is life changing, I mean it from the bottom of my abs lol... I mean, I was hooked... My husband was like "you are leaving again EARLY for Lagree", and I was like YESS!! It's 40min of ME TIME and everything I didn't know I needed in my life. The instructors are beyond phenomenal, they know how important 40 mins are so they are on it with ensuring every minute of your valuable time is accounted for. I'm pretty sure I'm the oldest person in this class on most days but I feel so strong and empowered walking out of that class. I never knew what my body could do and the instructors make sure to challenge you every single day in that class. When I think I can't, I DO... and sometimes I shock myself. Self care is so important, especially as busy Moms and especially as working Moms, we put everyone first and sometimes we need to remember setting aside time for OUR health is the greatest secret to living a happy and healthy life. read more

This one's a long overdue review for this place and the amazing instructor. I just happened to find this place while I was looking for a gym with a different kind of a workout. And lagaree was it. With an amazing combo of an instructor like Kat, you definitely will feel the burn. She's super encouraging and gives you the time to learn. Sometimes you feel out of place because you don't know the move, Kat stands right next to you to correct/help you. If you don't like a move or if it's too easy for you, talk to her, she'll definitely make it more fun for you next time. They have a number of classes in the morning and evening whichever suits your lifestyle. Best part, it's a local gym run by an amazing woman, so I'd totally recommend you guys to try this one out and thank me later :) read more

This place is great, unfortunately I only went once because my elbow had some issues, but I want to continue supporting this business because I'm so happy there is a lagree place close by. Katrina is tough but she's awesome. I would love to go back when I get better. read more

I love this little gem! The studio was welcoming and Kat gave a killer class!! She is so cheerful yet pushes us to do a little extra. The class was challenging but I felt so happy and accomplished afterwards :) Thanks Kat and smüv. I'll be back soon!!! Check out their different variations of lagree classes too! Love the creativity :) read more

BEST Lagree instructor and studio in the South Bay period (I've looked). You'll work A LOT harder in 40 minutes here than in 50 mins at other places or 60 mins in barre etc. Membership is reasonable vs other studios and worth every penny. Great workout if u have joint issues (I have bad knees).. low impact but intense.. Do yourself a favor and try it once. Great compliment to other workouts too (lifting, running) but you actually don't need to do much else....Addictive... I look forward to Lagree and I'm super lazy and have avoided the gym for about 3 decades read more

I had such a great experience! The fitness instructor was amazing! 10 out 10! Would recommend!

Wow, SMUV is amazing! Prior to my first class I didn't know what Lagree was nor had I ever heard of it. However I was excited to go back to fitness classes now that everything is starting to open up again. Also I wanted to try something new so I booked my first class (free) online. I had no idea what to expect but the reviews looked good so I thought why not! During shelter in place I've been trying to stay fit with at-home workouts, so I thought I'd be okay. But OMG. My legs and glutes were shaking like crazy for the majority of class (40 minutes). I felt like my body would literally collapse at any minute, lol. And afterwards my body was sore for 3-4 days (in the past, I'd be sore for like a day or two, max, from previous fitness classes). I did not know my abs could feel that much pain! But I think that speaks to the quality of the workout you get here - you definitely use muscle groups that maybe you didn't realize you had before. So far I've only taken Kat's classes and I am loving it! Overall it's an amazing experience and I highly recommend :) read more

I LOVE this place so much that 9 months ago when a gf introduced the studio to me I decided to take my first session with Richelle G. I wasn't expecting too much at the time. Ever since I started, I have continued to come back 3-4x/ week and became a member! Previously, I tried normal gyms, yoga, home workouts, etc. but I could never find something that kept me interested or gave me results until SMUV/LFBA. Every workout is a full body workout and every session has a different routine/focus. It's never boring or dull. I have never felt so strong throughout my entire body. Of course, it's taken work but with my determination, the guidance and motivation from the amazing instructors (Richelle G, Kat, Gabby, Richelle R, and Jeanette) I have been able to be consistent and I continue to enjoy every bit of my fitness adventure with the studio. Pilates on the megaformer is THAT thing I never thought I needed! I'm just happy I found my thing to do to keep working out. If you're looking for a clean and friendly studio to strengthen your body, I highly suggest this one or their new studio opening in Fremont. Good luck on your fitness adventure and hope to see you at the studio. read more

This place is as good as it gets. I took a free class with the owner and absolutely loved every minute of it (even though my legs were falling off in the first ten minutes). The structure of the class is great, the studio is new and clean and flawlessly designed. I felt pushed and supported to work hard, and the instructor was really fun and also very kind and welcoming. Even though I'm pretty new to the whole lagree method, she made it accessible by demonstrating and describing the right form, which was so, so helpful. She is an absolute pro. I'm so excited to take more classes here. read more
