We recommend Alora Start, our foundations class designed for complete beginners. It uses the same method as every Alora class, with more time spent on the fundamentals: how to set up the machine, how to find the tempo and how to hold your form.

Arrive 15 minutes early so we can welcome you, show you around the studio and introduce you to the Megaformer. Your instructor will explain how the carriage and springs work and help you get set up before class begins.

That’s completely normal, and nobody expects you to. Lagree is challenging for everyone, whatever their fitness level. Your instructor will offer modifications throughout, and you can take a break whenever you need one. Every class gets easier as you learn the moves.

We recommend a light snack one to two hours before class, rather than a heavy meal. Make sure you’re well hydrated and bring a water bottle with you.

Probably, and that’s a good sign. Because Lagree works your muscles to fatigue, it’s common to feel soreness for a day or two afterwards, especially in your core and legs. Gentle movement, stretching and staying hydrated will help you recover before your next class.
