Coastal Core Studio has launched the first Lagree method fitness classes in Halifax to help residents strengthen their cores [1].
This introduction brings a specific high-intensity, low-impact workout to the local market, offering an alternative to traditional gym routines by focusing on slow, controlled movements that target deep muscle groups.
CTV News reporter Lataevia Beezer visited the studio to demonstrate the technique, which was created by Sebastien Lagree [1]. The method utilizes specialized equipment to create resistance, allowing participants to build muscle and stability without the joint stress associated with high-impact exercises.
Lagree Fitness was developed in 1998 [2]. The system emphasizes time under tension, which forces the muscles to work harder and longer than they would during standard repetitions. This approach is designed to sculpt the body and improve overall functional strength.
While the method is now expanding into Halifax, it has already gained a following in other regions. Some practitioners have reported consistent use of the classes for more than two years to maintain their physical conditioning [3].
At Coastal Core Studio, the focus remains on precision and form. The studio serves as the primary hub for those in the city seeking to implement this specific regimen into their health routines [1].
“Coastal Core Studio is the first studio in the city to offer Lagree classes.”
The arrival of the Lagree method in Halifax reflects a broader fitness trend toward 'low-impact, high-intensity' training. By prioritizing joint longevity and core stability over traditional heavy lifting or high-impact cardio, these studios target a demographic looking for sustainable, long-term physical conditioning.
