One of the keys to Sebastien's widely endorsed training program is pushing the body to "muscle failure". As the term implies, Lagree's workout isolates specific muscles until they can no longer move - achieving muscle definition very quickly. The training focuses on the eccentric, lengthening, contraction of the muscle to attack excess bulk in the arms, abdomen, and thighs. In addition to training the muscles to failure, and focusing on the eccentric muscle contraction, SPX incorporates Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF) and Sensory Motor Training to increase Range of Motion (ROM), both of which improve performance and reduce risk of injury. "Pilates was created for healing but can be perceived as slow and boring. Our group Proformer classes are a "pumped-up" version of Pilates. Just like Bootcamp, you will sweat and feel the burn, but unlike Bootcamp, you will not trash your joints and connective tissues. You can see the results in as little as 3 sessions! And, the lower cost of the group sessions make it accessible to all," say Lagree, 33, who came to the United States when he was 17 years old.
