Lagree for Weight Loss

If weight loss is your goal, Lagree Fitness offers one of the most efficient paths to get there. Unlike traditional cardio that burns calories only during exercise, Lagree combines high calorie burn with muscle building — creating a metabolic advantage that keeps working long after class ends. Here's how Lagree supports sustainable, effective weight loss.

How Lagree Burns Calories

A single 50-minute Lagree class burns between 300 and 600 calories. The continuous tension and zero-rest format keep your heart rate elevated throughout the session, maximising calorie expenditure. Unlike steady-state cardio where you stop burning calories when you stop moving, Lagree triggers a significant afterburn effect (EPOC) — your body continues burning calories at an elevated rate for hours after class.

Building Muscle to Boost Metabolism

Lagree builds lean muscle tissue through progressive resistance training. Muscle is metabolically active — it burns calories even at rest. By increasing your lean muscle mass through regular Lagree practice, you permanently increase your resting metabolic rate. This means you burn more calories 24/7, not just during your workout. This is the key difference between Lagree and cardio-only approaches to weight loss.

The Afterburn Effect

The afterburn effect, scientifically known as excess post-exercise oxygen consumption (EPOC), is significantly higher after Lagree than after traditional cardio. Studies on high-intensity resistance training — the category Lagree falls into — show EPOC can last 24–48 hours, during which your body burns an additional 6–15% more calories than normal. Over weeks and months, this adds up to substantial additional fat loss.

• 300–600 calories burned per 50-minute class
• EPOC keeps metabolism elevated for 24–48 hours post-class
• Muscle building increases resting metabolic rate permanently
• Full-body engagement means maximum calorie expenditure
• Low-impact nature allows frequent training (4–5 times per week)

Lagree vs Cardio for Weight Loss

Running, cycling, and other cardio workouts burn calories during the session but do little to build muscle or elevate metabolism afterward. Lagree burns comparable calories during the session AND builds the lean muscle that keeps your metabolism high. Additionally, excessive cardio can lead to muscle loss over time, which actually slows your metabolism. Lagree preserves and builds muscle while burning fat — the ideal combination for body recomposition.

Creating a Lagree Weight Loss Plan

For effective weight loss with Lagree, aim for 3–4 sessions per week combined with a balanced, nutrient-rich diet. Pair your Lagree practice with adequate protein intake to support muscle recovery and growth. Stay hydrated, prioritise sleep, and be patient — sustainable weight loss happens at 0.5–1 kg per week. At Eden Social Club, our cafe offers nutritious post-workout meals designed to complement your fitness goals.

Real Results Take Consistency

Lagree is not a quick fix — it's a sustainable approach to body transformation. Most members begin seeing noticeable changes in muscle tone within 2–3 weeks and significant fat loss within 6–8 weeks of consistent practice. The beauty of Lagree is that it transforms your body composition from the inside out, building lean muscle while reducing body fat for results that last.
