NuShape Studio

Ok, I’ll admit it: Chris kicked my ass.
I went in knowing the megaformer class would be tough. Just not this tough.
Imagine doing planks, mountain climbers and lunges on a sliding, resistance-​laden platform.
Imagine sweating your little tootsies off in places you didn’t even know sweat could be produced, all while doing side planks and oblique pulses.
And then, imagine holding a weighted bar over your head while doing step-​ups on the platform.
The fun doesn’t stop there — I know for a fact there are a dozen other moves that my brain has selectively decided to block out from recent memory.
My favorite part of class was listening to Chris give instructions that sounded like spoken word poetry. He was seriously awesome and caught me each and every time I tried to cheat on a move.
If you want your body to be tighter in all the right places and you enjoy the satisfaction of leaving a workout absolutely drenched in sweat, this class is for you.
Loved it!

When jetset was no longer available on my class pass I was beyond bummed. I didn’t know where else to go to get the intense workouts mega reformer machines can provide. Thankfully nushape has filled the void.
The studio is large and beautiful. You’re greeted by a moss wall and a large open space. Once inside the teachers are friendly and very informative. And once you’ve used a mega reformer, you’ll never going to want to go back. The full body workouts these machines are capable of providing are indescribable.
I just have a few points that prevent me from giving this five stars. They don’t have towels, parking is nonexistent, and they have no lockers or even adequate space to store your belongings. Considering this studio is downtown which is not always the safest area, and the benches you leave your belongings in is directly next to the unlocked door, I feel the studio could do a little more to keep their clients personals safe. That said, these are all minor kinks I hope they’ll work out once they’ve got the new location open a bit longer. Overall, I look forward to coming back!

I tried NuShape studio a few years ago at the Key Biscayne location and was happy to hear they now opened a Downtown Miami location, much closer to where I live. The Lagree workout is pretty intense and you’ll definitely feel sore in areas you haven’t felt before. The workout is on a Megaformer machine and many of the movements involve using various areas of the body at once — core, back, arms, and legs. What I really like is that the movements are low impact although they are pretty high intensity at the same time. I always check out instructors to know what results will look like and they are very strong & toned! If you want a challenging, total-​body workout, then I highly recommend discovering Lagree Fitness at NuShape. Get ready to sweat (a LOT!).

Been going from time to time hoping the workouts would get more challenging and less repetitive. Add some Cobra, scrambled eggs, Xpress Lunge etc. Best instructor is Chris and the studio is clean and has so many machines which is a good thing! Just wish the routine were more challenging.

The Lagree workout is probably one of the most intense and rewarding work outs I have ever done. I’ve had the opportunity of taking a few classes with several different instructors and they are all very knowledgeable. The workouts consists of slow and controlled movements on the Megaformer machines, and each class is very different targeting different parts of your body. If you haven’t tried the Lagree Fitness workout I highly recommend specially if you want to see results quickly. Totally worth it, it will kick your butt in all the right places!

I am going to be completely honest with you, this was one of the hardest classes I have ever taken. I took a demo the other day that was 35 minutes long, classes are usually 50 minutes, and it was the toughest workout I have taken. The 50-​minute, intense total-​body workout, done on the MegaFormer, uses slow and controlled movements with constant tension to work your slow-​twitch muscle fibers to failure. With hundreds of moves and resistance options, every class is different so you will never get bored. It’s intense and wonderful at the same time!

I went to the studio for the first time today. It’s a brand new studio with a lot of reformers. I’ve been to other Lagree Fitness studios before and this studio is similar. I had Chris for my first class and he was a great instructor. He was really good at correcting form and pushing you past your limits. In the future, I’m hoping for more complicated moves and more arm moves (like lat pulls). A negative thing is parking is fairly difficult. I’ll definitely go back and check out more instructors.
