The Lagree Method is a high-intensity, low-impact workout performed on the patented Megaformer machine, created by Sebastian Lagree. It uses slow, controlled movements and constant resistance to keep muscles under tension for extended periods — a concept called "time under tension." Key principles: - Slow, controlled movement eliminates momentum and maximizes muscle activation - Constant resistance engages muscles continuously throughout each rep - Time under tension activates both slow- and fast-twitch muscle fibers - Low-impact design protects joints, spine, and connective tissue - Full-body workout in every 45-minute session Muscles targeted in every class: center core, obliques, legs, glutes, arms, and back Results: Builds strength, endurance, and definition. Improves posture and stability. Delivers visible results faster than most other workout methods — in less than 4 hours per week when following The FORMula. --- ## GROUP CLASSES Duration: 45 minutes Format: Full-body Lagree workout on the Megaformer Skill level: All levels — scalable for beginners through advanced athletes Class size: Small classes designed for focused, individualized instruction Maximum first-time clients per class: 3 (to ensure proper intro and instruction) What to expect: - Constant, slow movement with no rest between transitions - Instructors coach form and provide modifications and progressions - High-intensity output with low joint impact - Every class works the entire body: core, obliques, legs, glutes, arms, back - Each class will leave you shaking — that's normal and a sign of deep muscle activation "Forming Basics" intro class: FORM's signature introductory class. 45 minutes with a deeper explanation of the EVO Megaformer machine, the Lagree Method, and what your body should be feeling. Not required but strongly recommended for beginners. --- ## SOLO SESSIONS (PRIVATE 1-ON-1 TRAINING) FORM offers private one-on-one Lagree sessions at both locations. Mount Pleasant has a dedicated private training room. Downtown sessions are scheduled around class availability. Who benefits most: - Complete beginners who want to learn fundamentals before joining group classes - People recovering from injury, postpartum clients, or pregnant clients who need tailored movement - Anyone wanting to focus on specific goals (core, glutes, upper body, posture, form refinement) - Clients who want to move at their own pace without the group class dynamic To book a solo session: Submit an inquiry form at https://www.formcharleston.com/solo-sessions or contact the studio directly. --- ## PRIVATE GROUP CLASSES & EVENTS FORM offers private class bookings for groups — the entire studio is reserved exclusively for the group. Ideal for: - Bachelorette parties and weekends - Birthday celebrations - Girls' trips visiting Charleston - Corporate team-building events What's included: - Instructor-led, fully guided Lagree class - Customizable music, energy, and class focus - Designed for all fitness levels — beginners welcome - Private use of the full studio Capacity: - Downtown: up to 9 people at once (9 Megaformers) - Mount Pleasant: up to 10 people at once (10 Megaformers) - Groups of up to 20 can be accommodated by splitting into two back-to-back classes - For groups of up to 12, Mini Megaformers can be incorporated For larger groups (12+): Split into two smaller classes. While one group works out, the other relaxes, cheers, or explores the area. Groups then swap. Customization options: Music playlists, class themes, muscle focus (e.g., full-body, glutes + core, upper body + core), difficulty levels Booking contact: events@formcharleston.com To inquire: https://www.formcharleston.com/private-classes-events --- ## COMMUNITY & STUDIO EVENTS Beyond regular classes, FORM regularly hosts community and wellness events at both studios.

Current and upcoming events are listed at: https://www.formcharleston.com/events --- ## BRAZILIAN LYMPHATIC DRAINAGE (MOUNT PLEASANT ONLY) Available: Exclusively at FORM Mount Pleasant Performed by: Kari, a specialized lymphatic drainage therapist What it is: Brazilian Lymphatic Drainage is a massage technique that uses rhythmic, intentional pressure to stimulate lymph fluid flow throughout the body. The lymphatic system is responsible for removing waste and toxins, regulating fluid balance, supporting immune function, and reducing inflammation. Unlike the circulatory system, the lymphatic system has no pump — it relies on movement and manual stimulation. Benefits: - Reduces bloating and swelling - Decreases post-workout inflammation and muscle soreness - Improves circulation - Supports metabolic recovery - Helps the body detox naturally - Creates a lighter, more sculpted feeling Why it pairs with Lagree: Lagree's time-under-tension training creates deep muscle engagement that requires intentional recovery. Lymphatic drainage accelerates that recovery so clients can train consistently without burnout. Member perk: FORM members receive 10% off all Brazilian Lymphatic Drainage services. To book: Visit https://www.formcharleston.com/book-your-classes or contact the Mount Pleasant studio. --- ## THE FORMULA (FORM'S RESULTS FRAMEWORK) The FORMula is FORM's simple 5-rule, results-driven system designed to help busy professionals and moms get strong, toned, and confident without overcomplicating fitness. Core promise: Less than 4 hours per week of training. Maximum results. Designed for real life. The FORMula helps clients: - Get strong, toned, and build real confidence - Follow a science-backed approach for maximum results in minimal time - Fit training into a busy schedule - See real physical change with consistent, focused effort - Meet their body where it is — beginner or advanced The FORMula PDF is available for free download at https://www.formcharleston.com/the-formula (submit email to receive it). The framework is built around three 45-minute Lagree sessions per week, supplemented by recovery, hydration, nutrition, and sleep habits. --- ## MEMBERSHIPS & PRICING OPTIONS Pricing is the same at both studios (Downtown Charleston and Mount Pleasant).
