HILL COUNTRY GALLERIA | DOWNTOWN AUSTIN | 
ARBOR TOWN SQUARE

Founder and Owner Valentina Gaylord’s primary mission in opening THE LAGREE STUDIO was to provide a place where her clients could come to not only get into the best shape of their lives, but to rehabilitate their bodies, revitalize their souls and embrace and recapture their passion for life, love, health, and wellness. The inspiration for the studio came easily as she watched her husband, Olympic Gold Medalist Mitch Gaylord, constantly working to rehabilitate his body after a successful, but vigorous career, find relief in the Lagree Method while still living in California. That paired with her own experience with effectiveness of the method solidified their passion for the workout, and when they moved to Austin, they knew they needed to share this revolutionary workout with everyone!

THE LAGREE STUDIO is Austin’s Premier Lagree Fitness, Megaformer and VersaClimber Studio.  Bringing you Austin’s ultimate whole body workout on the ultimate strength and conditioning machine and the ultimate calorie guzzling cardio machine with low to zero impact on your body. On top of that, TLS’s Level One & Level Two Certified Lagree Fitness Instructors offer injury specific modifications, functional movement and postural alignment to ensure mobility and balance as one ages.

This HIIT, Strength Training and Pilates-Inspired workout utilizes the Lagree Fitness Megaformer and the VersaClimber to effectively combine Strength, Endurance, Balance, Core, Mobility and Cardiorespiratory training, not only in one session but in each and every move. It is intense on the muscles, but low to zero impact and safe on the joints, spine, and connective tissues.

THE LAGREE STUDIO classes are made for and welcome all fitness levels.  This is the workout unlike any that you have done before. This is the workout that works.
