What’s the Difference Between Lagree and Pilates—and Which One Is Right for You?

You’ve decided you want to take up Pilates, so you start looking for a studio. As you skim through ClassPass, you realize there’s Pilates and there’s Lagree Pilates. What the heck is the difference, and which one should you choose?

“The biggest and most obvious difference, in my opinion, exists between the Pilates reformer and the Megaformer used in Lagree. Other than both having springs and a carriage, they are almost entirely different in every other way,” says Kevyn Zeller, a certified Pilates instructor.

Both the Lagree Method and classical Pilates are great forms of exercise, but they’re not interchangeable. They can, however, be complementary to each other.
