LAGREE 2.0: Evolving the Lagree Method Once Again
Lagree Fitness is proud to launch our new and improved method, Lagree 2.0
WATCH THE VIDEOEvolving the lagree method
Since 1998, Lagree Fitness, which currently holds 200 patents has organically evolved due to the growth in clientele and a variety of technological breakthroughs.
Over the past 25 years, the Lagree Method has evolved into the perfect blend of strength training and with core and muscular endurance. This evolution in the method was primarily dictated by our clients, especially those wanting cardio integration. As such, the method demanded certain innovations, birthing the revolutionary Lagree 2.0.

Introducing the Lightning Spring Change
One of the newest innovations which necessitated Lagree 2.0 is the invention of the new remote-controlled Lightning Spring Change. As the first and only company in the world to have this technology, the Lightning Spring Change further differentiates the Lagree Method from any other type of exercise. The game-changing innovation reduces transition time by more than 90%, increasing cardiovascular demand. To put this in perspective, a typical Lagree class is about 40-minutes in duration with a total of seven to 10 minutes of transitioning time between movements. With the Lightning Spring Change, that transitioning time is reduced to ONE minute. Aside from convenience, the Lightning Spring Change offers an entire new way to teach the Lagree Method, hence the need for Lagree 2.0.

The Benefits of Teaching with the Lighting Spring Change
With the Lightning Spring Change, a Lagree instructor can adjust an entire class of participants’ springs with the click of a button, saving time and demanding more from the muscles through every movement. The Lightning Spring Change allows the mixture of pulling and pushing exercises to allow agonist/anti-agonist training, a feature not possible on any other spring-based fitness equipment.

more achievements for lagree instructors
In addition, Lagree instructors can now achieve the following:
- Exercise combos that were previously impossible
- Pair any exercises together regardless of their spring setting
- Progress a set to a level not achievable otherwise
- Teach any sequence your heart desires without fear of slowing down the class
- Strip tension and perform a drop set (highly effective in bodybuilding)
- Spend more time on certain body parts/exercise
- Increase the duration of a workout

AGONIST/ANTAGONIST TRAINING IN LAGREE 2.0
As part of the evolution of the Lagree Method, Lagree Fitness constantly creates new features to perform never-seen-before movements and new training techniques. One of the most groundbreaking techniques in Lagree 2.0 is Agonist/Antagonist training. Made possible by the Lightning Spring Change and the Lagree Ramp 2.0, this advanced training style is now fully accessible within the Lagree ecosystem, delivering a faster, more intense, and safer workout than ever before.
Agonist/antagonist training is a workout strategy that targets opposing muscle groups (agonists and antagonists) in the same workout, often in a superset format. This type of training helps maximize eficiency, improve muscle balance, and enhance overall strength without compromising the slow, controlled tension that deines the Lagree Method.
UNDERSTANDING AGONIST AND ANTAGONIST MUSCLES
Agonist:
The muscle that is primarily responsible for generating a movement. It’s the “prime mover.”
Example: In a Runner’s Lunge, the quads are the agonist because they are performing the main work to lex the knee.
Antagonist:
The muscle that opposes the agonist’s action. It provides balance and stability during movement.
Example: In an Elevator Lunge, the hamstrings are the antagonist because they work to extend the knee.

ANTAGONIST
HOW AGONIST/ANTAGONIST TRAINING WORKS
The strategy alternates between exercises that target agonist and antagonist muscles.
Superset Example: • Runner’s (agonist: quads)
• Elevator (antagonist: hamstrings)
With the click of a remote control, the Lagree instructor can instantly change the spring load or elevation, allowing the Runner and Elevator to be paired seamlessly without interrupting class low. This real-time transition is only possible with Lightning Spring Change and the Ramp, fundamentally transforming the way the Lagree Method can be taught and executed.
Benefits of Agonist/Antagonist Training in Lagree 2.0
- Reduced rest time: Opposing muscle groups allow continuous work without long breaks
- Increased muscle endurance: Alternating targets prevents early muscle fatigue
- Improved muscle balance: Both sides of the joint strengthen together
- More time-efficient workouts: Full-body intensity packed into shorter class sessions
- Increased training intensity: Constant alternation keeps the workout demanding
- Time-saving: More work in less time, without compromising quality of the workout
- Balanced muscle development: Prevents overdevelopment or imbalances that may lead to injury

The Tempo Lights
Along with quicker transitions between movements, Lagree 2.0 emphasizes tempo. Tempo lights, currently available on the EVO 2, guide students’ pace, slowing movements and demanding more from contracted muscles. These tempo lights are especially helpful for Lagree instructors who must perfect the alignment of students and explain other elements of the method during classes. With the EVO 2’s tempo lights, instructors can now set the lights to a certain speed and instruct students to move at that speed for the duration of the class—say goodbye to counting tempo ever again!

Endless Evolution: Looking Beyond Lagree 2.0
Currently, Lagree 2.0 is made up of 10 magic keys, referred to as the Magic 10. As Lagree Fitness machines become digitized, these keys are integrated into the machine. Lagree 3.0 is currently in the development stages and will integrate Range of Motion. The list of upcoming innovations is endless, so prepare for even more upgrades in both the method and machinery. Evolution is key.
