Lagree Fitness is a high-intensity, low-impact workout method performed on specialised equipment like the Megaformer and Microformer. It combines strength, endurance, cardio, balance, core, and flexibility in every move, delivering effective full-body results in under an hour.

No prior teaching experience is required to become a certified Lagree instructor. However, a solid foundation in the Lagree method as a participant and a commitment to learning the system is essential. We recommend at least 10 classes as a participant before certification.

You'll train on professional Megaformers, Microformers, and the full range of Lagree equipment. Our dedicated Lagree studio in Dubai is equipped with the latest machines, giving you comprehensive hands-on experience with all Lagree apparatus in a purpose-built facility.

Level 02 requires completion of Level 01, and Level 03 requires Level 02.

Level 01 (Foundation) covers Lagree fundamentals including equipment setup and safety, core exercise library, proper form and cueing, class sequencing and programming, modifications and progressions, teaching methodology, and practice teaching sessions.

Barre is a hybrid workout combining ballet-inspired movements, Pilates, yoga, and strength training. Classes use a ballet barre, light weights, resistance bands, and body weight to create long, lean muscles through small, controlled movements and isometric holds.
