    Fantastic Fantastic Sharing Jen and I really really needed this video😊
  • @mayaram4315
    Love it so much ! Thank you so helpful 😊
  • Great video and awesome breakdown of the two different machines. My wife is obsessed with the Megaformer and calls it Lagree fitness.. named after the creator of the Machine as the one instructor mentioned in your video. She’s a big fan of Sebastian’s and his workouts on the Mega. We are looking to relocate to a new area and I know that this is something that she really loves doing 3-4 times a week. Now that I know the difference between the two machines and workouts, what would you recommend when searching for a Megaformer studio? Lagree only pops up here and there so I was wondering if there’s another name.. I recall you mentioned something like body rock in this video. Thanks very much again and great video!!
  • @JenLauren
    are there any other confusions in the fitness space i should help clear up next?!

    I want to give you a big hug ❤️

    I feel like there’s an issue with how the term “resistance” is being used. Shouldn’t it be “assistance”? Reducing resistance would make a movement easier, not harder.
  • dont agree with many of the mega former comments, having done reformer for nearly 20 years, and, having a clinical background you can use boxes and other props to get the same intensity
  • @LagreeingatHome
    Lagree is NOT Pilates at all. The machine was based on a reformer but Lagree is a METHOD and has nothing to do with Pilates. The Megaformer is the name of the machine not the name of the workout. The Lagree Method focuses on Muscular Endurance and Muscular Strength. If a Pilates workout looks similar to Lagree or is called "high intensity Pilates" or "Modern Pilates" they are copying the Lagree Method. There is no such thing. The Pilates community will thank you for clarifying this. They do not want to be referred to as Lagree and Lagree does NOT want to be referred to as Pilates. They are two completely different methods. Older licensees of Lagree unfortunately still use Pilates in their branding, but the Lagree brand does not support this.
