(MDR) TOTAL BODY
This is the most popular (MDR) class creating a strenuous, complete total-body workout. We recommend taking (MDR) TOTAL BODY 3 to 4 times a week with rest days in between. While it's not required, we encourage taking (MDR) ESSENTIALS first.
The workout is done on state-of-the-art Megaformers, which provide constant resistance and infinitely more exercise options than a traditional reformer. The machine allows the body to shift quickly and smoothly from one exercise to another while increasing the heart rate and getting the blood pumping. The Megaformer attacks each and every muscle in a concentrated and focused manner to sculpt strong, powerful and lean bodies in a safe and measured way.

INTRO TO (MDR)
This beginner class starts with a spoken introduction to the Lagree Method, the Megaformer and The Studio (MDR), followed by a light instructional workout featuring between 10-15 essential exercises.

This is an instructional class (as opposed to a full class) that gets participants acquainted and comfortable with the workout.

““I have been a client to The Studio (MDR) for over 7 years. Having done a number of different kinds of workouts over the years, I can say with certainty that this workout (Lagree) and this studio, with its amazing owner and instructors, has been life changing. When you enjoy working out and consistent, it will deliver results. Case in point, my metabolic age was measured recently and it was recorded as 15 years younger than my actual age. A lot of that I credit to being strong and healthy from 4-5 days a week of classes at The Studio (MDR). I truly cannot imagine my life without working out with the amazing friends that I have made over the years, while staying physically, mentally and emotionally fit. Why settle for basic when you can work out at The Studio (MDR)?””
““(MDR) isn’t just something I do to stay in shape, to feel better about myself and to be able to eat the occasional piece of pizza—it’s something I do to stay healthy, regardless of what life throws at me. It’s something that makes me feel sane and strong and—most importantly—lucky. It’s an honor to be able to get on that Megaformer, and it’s one I will never take for granted again.””
