From Seattle to the Jewellery Quarter

How it works
-
Fifty minutes, full body
Every class is a 50-minute, full-body workout targeting your core, muscular strength and muscular endurance. Slow, controlled movements work deep into your slow-twitch muscle fibres, so expect to leave shaking.
-
More than a machine: meet the Mega Pro
The Mega Pro is the Megaformer created by Sebastien Lagree, the founder of the method itself. Designed specifically for Lagree, it challenges your muscles through controlled, precise movements to build strength and definition.
-
High intensity, low impact
Lagree pushes your muscles to their limit without pounding your joints. No jumping, no running: just constant tension and slow, deliberate movements that make every second count.
-
Coached for every level
Our certified instructors guide you through every move, offering modifications and progressions so the class meets you where you are. Whether it’s your first class or your fiftieth, you’ll always be challenged.
Our Classes
Every Alora class is a 50-minute, full-body Lagree workout on the Megaformer. What changes is the focus: some classes spend more of their time on a particular area, so you can choose how you want to train today. New to Lagree? Start with Alora Start.

Alora Method
Our signature class and the truest expression of what we do. Fifty minutes of slow, controlled, high-intensity low-impact work on the Megaformer, moving through every major muscle group without rest and without impact. Constant tension, deliberate tempo, nowhere to hide. If you take one class at Alora, take this one.

Alora Lower
Still a full-body class, with more of the 50 minutes spent below the waist, worked slowly and deliberately until it shakes. Deep lower-body strength and definition built through sustained tension rather than impact, so your joints stay happy while your legs absolutely do not. The class that changes how stairs feel.
Prices from £35
-
Alora Sculpt
Still a full-body class, with more of the time given to upper body and core, and real attention on the muscles most training forgets. Triceps, shoulders, back, chest and obliques taken through slow eccentric work that builds long, defined strength. Expect to feel this in places you did not know you had.

Your introduction to Lagree. The same method, with more time on the fundamentals: how to set the carriage, how to find the tempo, how to hold your form when everything is shaking. Slower pace, smaller cues, no assumed knowledge. Start here.

FAQs
New to Lagree or new to Alora? Here’s everything you need to know before your first class at Birmingham’s Lagree studio.
Lagree is a high-intensity, low-impact, full-body workout created by Sebastien Lagree in Los Angeles. Classes take place on the Megaformer, a specialised machine that uses springs and slow, controlled movement to keep your muscles under constant tension. It builds strength, endurance and lean muscle without putting strain on your joints.
No. Lagree looks similar to reformer Pilates but works very differently. Movements are slower, transitions are quick and your muscles stay under tension for the whole class, so you build strength and get your heart rate up at the same time. The Megaformer is also built specifically for the Lagree method, with more resistance options than a Pilates reformer.
Yes. Every class can be adapted, and our certified instructors offer modifications and progressions throughout. If it’s your first time, we recommend booking Alora Start, our foundations class, which takes you through the machine, the tempo and the key movements at a slower pace.
Alora Studio is at 85 Pope Street, Birmingham, B1 3BH, in the Jewellery Quarter. We’re the first and only Lagree studio in Birmingham and the Midlands.
Wear comfortable, fitted workout clothes you can move freely in. Grip socks are required on the Megaformer, and you can buy Alora grip socks at the studio. Bring a water bottle and arrive 10 minutes early for your first class so we can set you up.
Yes. All Alora classes are for adults aged 18 and over.
