Okay... I really wanted to love this. There's hype around Lagree, it took almost three weeks to get into this class on ClassPass (higher points too), so my expectations were up there.
Let's start with the positive: the instructor was genuinely kind and did everything right. Full walkthrough of the Lagree machine, adjustments, waiver, form corrections -- she checked on me constantly. Zero complaints about her professionalism.
But overall? This just fell flat for me.
The studio itself is extremely minimal. White walls, mirrors, eight machines lined up, very little décor. No real aesthetic or vibe. Even the music had to stay low because of neighbors, which kind of killed the energy for me. I personally thrive on louder music and ambiance in a workout setting.
Now the workout itself -- Lagree is just not for me. My wrists were hurting, my feet were on fire, and I felt like I was doing 90% of the moves incorrectly despite adjustments. I didn't sweat once. I walked out feeling like I could immediately go run five miles or head to F45 to actually feel worked.
And now my knee and feet are sore -- not the good "I crushed it" sore, but the uncomfortable kind.
If you're looking for something slow, controlled, core-focused, or maybe even rehab-adjacent, this might be your jam. But if you're like me and need to feel that push, sweat, energy, and vibe -- this may not hit.
Again, nothing was "wrong." It just wasn't for me.
ClassPass convenience is appreciated -- but between the wait, the hype, and the experience... it was a meh overall. read more
