Lagree Fitness EVO Megaformer

The EVO represents the most advanced and stylish equipment within the Lagree Fitness range. Its design offers a significantly wider range of body placement options, enabling rapid development of both core strength and muscular endurance.

Carriage: The 360-degree sidebar called the Ring of Fire wraps all the way around the carriage and is designed for more traction, engagement, control, and muscle activation. The pad is significantly smaller than that of the M3, about a 50% reduction, for a sleeker, more aggressive look.

Handles: The handles are integrated into the platform and appear to be a continuation of the platform on both the front and back of the EVO for added functionality.

Platform: Extension of the M3K platform (extended pad). The triangular bar goes all the way around the platform and is integrated into the platform which provides more strength and stability. The triangular grip fits hands better and is more comfortable and ergonomic while gripping. In addition, the triangular grip ensures no footpad is needed during exercise.

Springs: 8 (Superfast technology for fastest transitions—only available on the EVO).
This spring system in a new, centrally mounted, longitudinal spring system that retains the integrity of the springs through their full stretch and b preventing excessive wear.

Dimensions:
134”x35”x32”
325 pounds
17.5” from floor to top of the carriage

THE TRIANGULAR GRIPS

The triangular grips are built as a single piece, eliminating all downtime, typically caused by switching out grips, between exercises. In addition, the various angles of the triangular grip bar allow for ample hand and foot placement options. Of course, no Lagree Fitness equipment is complete without a lower handlebar for a wider selection of exercise variations.

 

 

ENDLESS HAND & FOOT PLACEMENT

The evo’s precise design accommodates an endless variety of hand and foot placement positions, providing users with the optimal machine for maximum movements. To understand the evo’s dynamic design, an understanding of its unique features is a must.

 

 

 

THE RING OF FIRE

As if the upper triangular grips and the lower Grenade Handlebars weren’t enough, the Evo’s carriage is surrounded by a 360-degree grip ring to provide even more placement options, expanding a countless number of exercise variations. With the conjunction of the triangular grips, the Grenade Handlebar, and the Ring of fire, the Evo offers a more secure hand and foot placement for maximum stability.


 

DESIGNED FOR ULTIMATE LONGEVITY

Creating the ultimate fitness machine requires design for longevity and consistent use. With the newly added features, the EVO is the ultimate piece of equipment to withstand even the most rigorous workouts day after day, class after class.


 

 

TENSION SYSTEM AND SPRING DESIGN

As the first of its kind, the Evo provides a next-generation tension system using only linear springs rather than the coiled springs found on previous Megaformer models. This new design guarantees improved tension longevity, extending the amount of time before spring replacement is necessary. Additionally, the entire tension system is hidden by a chassis cover plate located beneath the moving chassis, creating a safer setting for exercise free from risk of spring pinching.

 

 

SAFER, SLEEKER WEIGHT ADJUSTMENTS

Unlike other fitness machines that use pull-pin mechanisms, the Evo includes built-in slider switches for a sleek design that promises increased safety and rapid adjustments between exercises.

 

 

 

SHOCK ABSORBERS

High-intensity workouts often translate to exhausted bodies, resulting in quick sliding carriages. The Evo, being the first of its kind, is equipped with a shock absorber system to prevent the carriage from slamming as it returns to its stopped position. In addition, this suspension design prevents the Evo from sliding on the studio floor, leaving no need to bolt the chassis to the ground. This gives licensees maximum freedom for studio layout.

 

 WHAT IS LAGREE FITNESS?

What is Lagree Fitness?

Lagree Fitness is a high-intensity, low-impact workout that focuses on Core, strength, and muscular endurance training.

Lagree will strengthen, tighten, and tone your body quickly and safely.The workout will leave your muscles shake, sweat, and sore the next day!

WHY THE LAGREE METHOD WORKS

Sebastien Lagree, inventor of Lagree Fitness, founded The Lagree Method on the five components of physical fitness:

1. ENDURANCE
2. CARDIOVASCULAR FITNESS
3. BODY COMPOSITION
4. FLEXIBILITY
5. STRENGTH

 

 

 

CONTROLLED REPS PERFORMED AT SLOW PACES DEMAND MORE FROM THE BODY

The famous Lagree-count, which consists of no less than eight seconds, does not allow for participants to utilize momentum while moving through each exercise. Instead, participants must use muscle groups in a slow, controlled fashion, which demands more metabolic work per unit of time. This extended amount of time that muscles are placed under tension produces rapid results for participants.

SPRINGS VS WEIGHTS

At Lagree Fitness, our machines are equipped with springs rather than weight because the resistance and tension innate to the springs is elastic or variable, allowing users to adjust tension by adjusting body placement—a critical reason as to why our equipment includes numbers and lines on platforms and carriages.

In addition, springs provide the following benefits: maintain control over movement when compared to dumbbells, remain engaged longer in a movement, which equates to more muscle stimulation than weight training provides, more effective in a group setting because all students can use the same spring with different body placements so that each works against the tension that is most effective for them.

 

THE LAGREE METHOD BORROWS THE BODYBUILDING SUPERSET FOR EFFECTIVENESS

As a fitness guru fascinated by and passionate about bodybuilding, Sebastien Lagree has borrowed the superset method and made it part of what makes The Lagree Method considerably different than Pilates. By utilizing the superset method, Lagree Fitness goers move through shorter classes, heightened intensity levels, and a safer way to take their muscles to failure without the spotter that is typically needed in traditional bodybuilding.

THE LAGREE METHOD DOES NOT EXCLUDE CARDIO

Circuit training is a large part of what makes The Lagree Method critically different than Pilates. Lagree Fitness participants are required to move from one movement to the next with minimal rest time between. This keeps the participant’s heart rate up and demands cardiovascular growth—which, of course, results in more calories burned.

Pilates is not meant to be a cardio workout, so typically a participant’s heartrate will remain under 90 BPM. On the other hand, The Lagree Method ensures users will hit the anaerobic threshold and a heart rate over 145/150 BPM when performed correctly.

 

LAGREE FITNESS VS PILATES

Lagree Fitness Vs Pilates

Since its birth, Lagree Fitness has distinguished itself from every form of exercise, including Pilates, which lacks intensity. The Lagree Method utilizes tried and proven bodybuilding training techniques not inherent to Pilates. The union of these bodybuilding techniques and low-impact qualities, which are fundamental to Lagree Fitness, directly translate to rapid results. While Pilates is based on breathing, concentration, control, centering, flow postural alignment, and precision, Lagree Fitness is fundamentally based on the following: Effective Form, Effective Range of Motion, Effective Tempo, Effective Duration, Effective Sequence, Effective Transition, Effective Tension, and Effective Plane of Motion.

 

THE MEGAFORMER IS NOT A REFORMER!

Lagree is not Pilates, and the Megaformer is not a reformer. Although the Megaformer was originally inspired by the reformer, the likeness stops there. To achieve the results only provided by the Lagree Method, Sebastien Lagree had to transform the reformer into a Megaformer. To this day, Sebastien continues to modify the Megaformer in order to evolve the Lagree Method. In fact, the new Megaformer EVO 2 has been termed “an advanced spaceship” when compared to the reformer.

LAGREE WORKOUT VS PILATES SESSION

Lagree does not use any Pilates training principles: Lagree uses bodybuilding training technique to effectively combine strength training with endurance and core. Lagree will leave your body shaking, sweating, and sore the next day!

 

LAGREE SPRINGS VS WEIGHTS

Lagree Springs Vs Weights

VARIABLE TENSION VS STATIC TENSION

At Lagree Fitness, the science behind our method and machines is persistently evolving—and that is because Lagree Fitness is altering how fitness is imagined, pursued, and achieved. One of the major elements that differentiates Lagree Fitness from any other type of exercise is spring resistance vs free-weight resistance.

THE SIMILARITIES

Both spring resistance and free-weight resistance (produced when training with barbells and dumbbells) have the following properties in common:

1. BOTH PROVIDE RESISTANCE
2. BOTH ALLOW FOR FREE RANGE OF MOTION
3. BOTH ALLOW FOR VARIABLE SPEEDS OF MOVEMENTS
4. BOTH STIMULATE MUSCLE AND BONE MINERAL DENSITY GROWTH

These four properties are critical to enjoying the benefits of effective resistance training programs. Despite the similarities between spring resistance and free-weight resistance, however, many fitness enthusiasts assume free weights are superior, but this could not be further from the truth.

 

SPRING RESISTANCE CAN WORK ON BOTH VERTICAL AND HORIZONTAL PLANES

Unlike free weights, spring resistance does not rely on gravity to provide resistance. This increases its potential for use in more functional movement patterns that mimic both everyday activities and sport-specific activities. Because free weights rely on gravity, they can only provide resistance in a vertical plane—the direction of gravity. This means that if an exercise with a free weight is performed on a horizontal plane, such as moving a dumbbell from one side of the body to the other, there is no resistance to that movement. With springs, on the other hand, resistance is also formed when doing exercises in a horizontal plane.

As such, exercises such as twisting the body from side to side, side kicks and punches, as well as movements that mimic a baseball swing or basketball pass by using spring resistance, can be effectively performed with spring-based training. In fact, performing exercises with resistance in a horizontal plane better prepares an individual for performing daily tasks, such as turning the body while carrying a heavy box, in a much easier manner that also decreases the risk for injury. For athletes, it better prepares them for competitive movements that take place on a horizontal plane, such as swinging a baseball bat. This type of training is considered highly effective for preventing sport injuries.

 

 

 

 SPRING RESISTANCE ALLOWS CHANGE IN MUSCLE EMPHASIS

Because spring resistance does not rely on gravity to provide resistance, it is possible to alter the emphasis placed on the muscles during certain exercises. This is made possible by changing the direction of the pull.

The ability to change muscle emphasis is important for those who want to target specific muscles, either for aesthetic reasons or to add strength for sports competitions. It is also important for those with injuries, as shifting the force more to certain muscles can help protect certain associated joints. For example, greater hamstring emphasis during squatting or stepping exercises helps to protect certain structures around the knee. This is difficult to accomplish with free weights because, as previously stated, they require the direction of force to be vertical due to their reliance on gravity for resistance.

SPRING RESISTANCE PREVENTS A PERSON FROM "CHEATING" DURING AN EXERCISE

In short, spring resistance prevents the user from “cheating” during the exercise being performed. This is a critical benefit addressing a common practice seen during the use of training with free weights. Cheating involves the use of momentum to initially move the weight. Once the weight has built up momentum, the muscle fibers do not need to be maximally activated to continue moving the weight throughout the remaining range of motion of the exercise. This is because the physics of momentum have taken over to move the weight.

 

SPRING RESISTANCE PROVIDES CONTINUOUS TENSION

Because spring resistance does not rely on gravity, it provides continuous tension which increases the rate at which muscles can be trained. When a dumbbell is lifted in any direction other than straight up and down, the tension on the muscle can actually be removed at certain points in the range of motion. For example, when doing a bicep curl with a dumbbell, as the dumbbell curls up towards the shoulder, at the very top of the movement, the dumbbell is literally falling towards the shoulder. This means that the tension on the bicep has been removed because the dumbbell is no longer being lifted up against gravity by the bicep. When doing a bicep curl with spring resistance, the tension is present throughout the entire range of motion because the spring provides resistance both up and down due to its innate properties.

SPRING RESISTANCE OFFERS LINEAR VARIABLE RESISTANCE

Unlike spring resistance, free-weight resistance does not offer linear variable resistance. This means that as the range of motion of the exercise increases, the resistance provided by the spring equipment increases. For example, when doing a bicep curl, as the hand is curled up toward the shoulder, the resistance of the elastic tubing increases. This is due to the physical properties of the spring itself. As its length increases (from being stretched), it provides more resistance. One of the benefits of this is that as the range of motion increases and the resistance increases, thus the number of muscle fibers being used in the exercising muscles increases as well. The more muscle fibers being used, the greater the adaptations in muscle strength that can be achieved with the training program. This benefit is not offered by free-weight resistance.

 

LAGREE FITNESS VS WEIGHTLIFTING

Lagree Fitness Vs Weightlifting

Dumbbells have been around for over 2,000 years! And while most people use dumbbells or static weight without questioning their effectiveness, Lagree utilizes variable or progressive resistance from springs, which has proved to be far superior to "weights." Variable tension is gentle on the joints and the connective tissues and provides better control over movements and allows movements to be done in perfect form and without cheating. This variable tension also allows the user to stay engaged in the exercise longer. These benefits make the springs used by Lagree Fitness superior to weights.

DEFINING WEIGHTLIFTING & HOW THE LAGREE METHOD DIFFERS

Weightlifting includes any exercise that attempts to increase the strength and size of muscle groups. In most cases, gravity-based equipment, such as weight stacks, bars, or dumbbells are used to counteract muscular force created by the eccentric and concentric contractions of the muscles. Unlike weightlifting, The Lagree Method focuses on high-intensity, low-impact workouts to increase lean muscle growth. It accomplishes this by increasing your stamina and muscle oxygen capacity.

THE SCIENCE IS IN OUR MACHINES

Each machine from the Lagree Fitness collection, whether it is the world renown Megaformer, the compact Micro, the cutting-edge Mini, or the evolutionary EVO, is created with tension-controlling springs, a gliding carriage, hand, and foot straps, and pulleys that allow for a massive range of balance and strength-building exercises.

 

SPRINGS VS WEIGHTS: WHY LAGREE FITNESS USES SPRINGS

Due to the stagnancy of the fitness industry, springs are a severely underrated and underutilized source of tension yet are superior to weight, rubber, pneumatic, magnetic, electronic, and water-based tension. At Lagree Fitness, our machines are equipped with springs rather than weight because the resistance and tension innate to the springs are variable which allows users to adjust tension by adjusting body placement.

LAGREE VS GYM

At Lagree Fitness, our machines are equipped with springs rather than weight because the resistance and tension innate to the springs is elastic or variable, allowing users to adjust tension by adjusting body placement—a critical reason as to why our equipment includes numbers and lines on platforms and carriages.
