Pilates Plus Chandler

I got hooked on Lagree Fitness in SF and can’t stand to go a week without it. So I was very pleased to find a studio in my hometown while visiting. The Lagree method is not your traditional Pilates. It’s a lot of isometric strengthening — expect lots of planking, lunges and holds. The Megaformer is a unique contraption that lets you move fluidly through exercises and work muscles you didn’t even know you had. You’ll be sore for days and it’ll hurt in a good way! No other workout makes me shake and burn.
This studio has the older M2 machines which are a little clunkier with the spring changes. My other critique is sometimes instructors introduce exercises are that not traditional Lagree (like warrior lunge where you drop your heel) which might not be as effective as sticking to the method and adding variations.
I’ve taken a few classes with different instructors and really enjoyed Veronica’s class, it was challenging but doable, she’s encouraging, motivating without being in your face.
⁴⁄₅ bumped up for the great customer service and friendliness of the staff.

Great teachers, wonderful atmosphere and probably the best muscle workout I have ever tried. My new obsession!

I can’t say enough about this workout. Your in and out and its over before you know it… no need to think up a weight lifting routine. I’ve been going religiously (3x per week to Veronica’s class) for about a year and a half now and have seen MAJOR results – increased muscle tone! The only downside is limited time for proper stretching.

Bought a one month trial on Living Social on a whim. I wanted to see how quickly I could get back my strength and see results. I completed my month a few days ago and I have seen definite changes. My arms are more buff, stomach is flatter and all over muscle tone has improved. I have signed on for another month. This is a great workout, tough, intense, sweaty and raw. Prepare for a challenge and you will definitely see the results!

I got the living social deal for Pilates Plus. I have never done Pilates before as I usually just lift weights or do Insanity. I wanted to try something different and it was. After the first class I was hooked. This challenged me in a different way than I was used to. The instructors are great. This is one of the only places with the reformers, let alone this fancy one.

The studio is awesome, and the workouts are intense! Because you’re working multiple muscle groups at a time, I feel like you’re getting a much more efficient workout during the 50 minutes you’re there. I’ve been to other Pilates studios, but this one gives the best workout because of the technique and the newer machines. Because they offer so many class times, if you’re running late at work or need some extra sleep, you can usually sign up for the next one.
Pilates programs aren’t as cheap as some other workout programs, but if you find something you love that works for your body, I think it’s worth it.

What a great workout! Strength training, toning and cardio all in one. Great facility, knowledgable trainers. Best new workout I’ve done in a long time. I’ll definitely be back for more!
