I love changing up my routine to stay active. I had the opportunity to try out a new studio that just opened in my neighborhood. It’s called Inspire Seattle. They must be doing something right because this is the third Seattle location opening.
According their website:
“Lagree Fitness™ is an innovative workout specifically designed to strengthen, tighten, and tone the body quickly and safely. This workout is largely based on the holistic principles of Pilates, but also emphasizes the strength training and cardio elements not inherent to Pilates to achieve muscle definition faster than traditional Pilates and/or weight training alone. All in as little as 40 minutes!”
Want to know my thoughts on the studio and workout? The studio is a gorgeous boutique style setting! There is even a Kombaucha bar by the front desk. You can grab one to go after a workout or just stop in the studio for a cup to go. Talk about cute and innovative. The studio owner is adorable and a total #girlboss. She shared her story about how she got into Lagree style fitness and her path to opening her studios. She was super inspiring!

Now about the workout. It is a workout based on Pilates but way different than Pilates. The Metaformers are similar to Pilates reformers but set up to serve a different style of workout with more emphasis on strength training. The workout was tough and used a group of muscles I don’t use enough in running and Pilates. It will leave your muscles trembling and if you work hard, you will no doubt be sore. It’s a great strength training workout with good music. I would love to stop in a few times a month since it’s so close for an awesome forty minute workout.
