When Lexi Heinzer was in the midst of attending grad school to become a marriage family therapist, she was desperate to find a way to boost her energy and offer an escape from the grueling study program. Heinzer soon found Lagree, a high-intensity, low impact fitness method and it wasn’t long before she fell in love.
“I got certified in 2017,” said Heinzer, “so I started teaching it more than I was actually doing therapy because it made me so happy to see other people leave the workout so happy.”
What exactly is a Lagree workout? For those who don’t know or have never heard of it, Heinzer said, “Lagree is a strength-based fitness program, done on a Lagree machine. It is spring loaded, and it’s what you would do in the gym such as planks, squats, lunges, that type of thing. It’s very high intensity, you’re going to shake, you’re going to sweat on the machine.” The program is considered low impact, allowing anyone of all ages and all bodies to benefit.
