Lagree Vs Pilates; What’s the Difference?

While Lagree and Pilates share some surface similarities (like a focus on core strength, control, and low-impact movement), the two are very different in both intention and intensity.

1. The Intensity
Pilates is generally slower-paced and great for gentle toning, rehab, and body awareness.

Lagree takes it up several notches: it’s high-intensity, low-impact, designed to push your muscles to fatigue using time under tension, which creates the famous Lagree shake.

2. The Equipment
Pilates typically uses a Reformer, with springs and smooth gliding motion.

Lagree uses the Megaformer or Microformer — much larger, with more resistance options and a design built for strength, endurance, and cardio in one.

3. The Method
Pilates focuses on alignment, breathing, and fluidity of movement.

Lagree focuses on maximum muscle engagement, slow tempo, and continuous tension to create a full-body burn in a short amount of time (just 45 minutes).

 4. The Goal
Pilates = gentle strength, posture, flexibility.

Lagree = sculpted muscles, improved endurance, core stability, and serious results.


Main Difference: Lagree IS NOT Pilates
Pilates strengthens. Lagree transforms.

If Pilates is a glass of wine, Lagree is a shot of tequila- smooth but strong, and it hits hard
