About Our Classes
WHAT IS MEGAFORMER/LAGREE FITNESS
The Lagree Fitness™ Method is unlike any workout you have ever done before. Created by Sebastien Lagree, the muscle-quivering, total-body conditioning Lagree Fitness Method is responsible for shaping up celebrities and professional athletes worldwide. The Megaformer starts with the low-impact, muscle-toning principles of Pilates and adds elements of cardio all while turning the intensity on full blast bringing you the Lagree Fitness Method.
The MegaFormer™ provides an infinite amount of exercise options and encourages maximum exertion with zero periods of rest in order to promote effective muscle fatigue with no stress on the joints or back. Our classes combine key components of physical fitness – strength, endurance, cardio, balance, and flexibility training not only in one session, but in each and every exercise. Slow-controlled movements plus fast transitions from one exercise to the next allow you to maintain an elevated heart rate to keep you burning during and after class!
WHAT IS PILATES?
The Pilates Method is a system of exercises created by Joseph Pilates in the 1920’s. The fundamental principles focus on concentration, control, center, flow, precision, and breathing. It improves core strength, muscle tone, muscular balance and posture. Pilates also improves balance and flexibility all while staying low impact. It engages the person as well as the body; it develops and enhances stamina, posture, alignment and core strength for elite performance to everyday activities. Pilates is a great workout for all demographics.
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MEGAFORMER AND PILATES?
The biggest difference between Pilates and Megaformer™ is, Megaformer™ challenges your endurance while Pilates allows more dialogue to hone the mind-body connection. The design of the Megaformer™ creates a non-stop endurance and stamina-challenging workout, while Pilates has more cueing for alignment and specific muscle recruitment. Both workouts compliment each other. At Pilates Blast we feel Pilates provides the foundation to make Megaformer™ and all other workouts more connected and beneficial.
HOW OFTEN SHOULD I ATTEND MEGAFORMER CLASS?
We recommend starting at a minimum of twice a week so your body can learn the alignments and movement. Our long term clients come around from 1 to 4 times a week depending on their goals and needs. The more you’re able to come the sooner you will develop muscle memory and feel the benefits of these methods.

DO YOU OFFER BEGINNER CLASSES?
We offer a Megaformer Fundamentals class that is slower paced and teaches the basics to you. If you can’t make that class, we also recommend the Pilates on the Megaformer class as it is slower for beginners. However, if neither of those classes work for you, you are welcome to jump right into any class as our instructors are trained to teach beginners and advanced clients in any class and help you modify throughout the 40 minutes.
Currently all classes are open level, however, email if you are interested in a beginner workshop.
WHAT IF I ARRIVE LATE?
It is recommended that you arrive at least five minutes before class. However, we understand that late happens. Just jump into class where your instructor has you going and they will try to catch you up as you go. However, classes must be cancelled 12 hours in advance or your class credit will be forfeited.
Other Exercise & Studio Questions
CAN I TAKE A CLASS IF
I’M PREGNANT?
Doctors do not advise to try a new workout while pregnant, especially something as core intensive as Megaformer. If a client was regularly taking Megaformer before they got pregnant, they can continue to come as long as they feel comfortable. The same goes for Pilates. However, many of our instructors are certified in pre and post-natal care. Please e-mail us for more information at [email protected].
