CERTIFICATE ISSUED BY LAGREE FITNESS AFTER THE TRAINING · QUESTIONS: MENIFEE@ONYXLAGREE.COM
What the three days cover
The method, not a list of moves.
Lagree Fitness no longer trains people to memorize exercises. You learn how the method works and how to teach it. You will teach a lot over the weekend, in a safe room, with a Senior Master Trainer correcting you.
The science behind Lagree
Why the method is slow, why it is low impact, and why it works. Time under tension, the core in every move, and the programming framework a class is built on.
The three tensions
Every exercise on the Mega Pro is one of three things. Pulling with the tension, pulling against it, or pushing against it. You learn every version of each.
The five series
Plank. Lunge. Lower body. Obliques. Upper body. The basics of each module, the muscles they work, the mistakes people make, and how to fix them with a word, a look, or a hand.
Cueing and modifications
Verbal, visual, and tactile cues. The Modifiable 3 [angle, range, resistance] for injuries, pregnancy, and first-timers. Stacking the skeleton from skull to ankles.
Teaching practice and mock class
You stand at the front of the room and run it. Sequencing, pacing, springs, and energy. By Sunday you have taught real bodies on real machines.
Past cohorts at Onyx Menifee
This is what the weekend looks like.
Trainees on the machines, notebooks open, Maggie at the front of the room. You teach, she corrects, you teach again.
Before you arrive
Start before January 8.
The training starts before January 8. Your Master Trainer sends the full details by email after you reserve a spot.
Open your Lagree Academy account
Register as a trainer, sign the terms, and Lagree Fitness activates you within about 72 business hours. The Academy is your library of every exercise, video, and the science behind the method. It is yours for life.
Take class with a trainer’s ear
Come to Onyx in the weeks before. Listen to how the trainers cue, watch what they correct, and ask them questions. You are studying the room you are about to lead.
Bring what you wear to class
Grip socks, water, and clothes you can plank in. A notebook helps. You will be on the machine and on your feet for three days.
Keep the whole weekend open
Certification requires the full three days. The tentative schedule is 9 AM to 6 PM Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, confirmed on enrollment. Plan the weekend around it.
Led by
Maggie O’Brien.
Official Lagree Fitness Senior Master Trainer. Basi Pilates Comprehensive. ACE Certified Personal Trainer. Maggie certifies trainers for Lagree Fitness and has led the training at Onyx Menifee before. The kind of mentorship most people travel across the country for, at your home studio.
Who this is for
You have counted the reps in your head.
You have cued the person next to you. You have left class thinking you could teach this. You are already most of the way there.
Regulars who want the other side of the platform
The Menifee members and pack holders who know every move by name. The training turns that into a credential.
Pilates, barre and fitness instructors
Already teaching? Lagree adds the method studios are opening for, and Onyx is hiring for two rooms.

Questions
Before you reserve.
Do I need to be an instructor already?
No. Level 1 is the entry certification for teaching Lagree. Most trainees come from the client side of the machine. If you already teach Pilates, barre, or fitness, the method will land faster.
How much Lagree experience do I need?
Know the Mega Pro well from class. There is no required class count. If you are new to Onyx, start taking class now and come to the training with the moves in your body.
How do I get certified?
Complete the Lagree Academy registration, attend all three days, and teach in the mock training. Lagree Fitness issues your certificate after the weekend. Your Master Trainer emails it to you.
Can I teach at Onyx after?
You can audition. Onyx is hiring for two rooms, Menifee and West Hollywood, and the training includes mock classes in ours. Certification does not guarantee a position. It gets you the audition.
What if I cannot make all three days?
Email us before you enroll. The certification requires the full training, so a partial weekend does not work. If the dates are wrong for you, join the trainee list and you hear about the next one first.
Where do I stay and park?
The studio is at 27701 Scott Rd, Suite 106, Menifee. Trainees from out of town can email us for hotel suggestions nearby.
