After having three kids, I found myself yearning to feel stronger, more energetic, and more like myself again. Getting back into shape post-pregnancy is no easy feat—especially while juggling the demands of motherhood and a full-time job—but last April, I made a commitment to myself: I joined Lagree Pilates.
Why I Chose Lagree Pilates
My youngest sister had been raving about her experience with Lagree, and the transformation I saw in her body was all the encouragement I needed. I started attending classes twice a week for the first two months. By the third month, I felt motivated (and strong) enough to go three times a week—and I haven’t stopped since.
What to Expect as a Beginner
Let’s be honest—my first class was intimidating. I was unfamiliar with the moves and had no idea how I’d survive 45 minutes. But the instructors were welcoming and attentive, always walking around to help correct form and offer guidance. The class structure allows you to progress at your own pace while still being pushed to your limits.
Pro tip: The secret is slow and controlled movements. Lagree isn’t about speed—it’s about precision, endurance, and intensity.
The Results: More Than Just Physical
What surprised me the most is how much stronger I feel—mentally and physically. I no longer compare myself to others in the room. I know now that consistency builds endurance. Moves that once left me breathless are now my warm-up.
Sure, I still dread going sometimes (it’s that hard), but I always leave class proud of myself. I feel empowered. I feel seen. I feel part of a community.
Why Lagree Works for Busy Moms
As a mom of three, every minute counts. Lagree Pilates classes are only 45 minutes, but they’re incredibly efficient. You book your class, you show up, and you’re guaranteed a spot—no waiting in line for equipment like at the gym. That kind of predictability is priceless for moms balancing work, kids, and everything in between.
Top Tips for Lagree Pilates Beginners
- Commit to 2x a week to build consistency and confidence
- Focus on form—slower is harder (and better).
- Hydrate and fuel properly before and after class.
- Don’t compare yourself to others. Everyone starts somewhere.
- Talk to your instructor. They’re there to help you succeed.
