The honest answer first: you do not need gloves for Lagree, and most people in a class train bare-handed. But gloves solve three real problems — sweaty palms slipping on the handles and straps, calluses from repeated gripping, and, in the form of wrist wraps, sore wrists in long plank holds. If one of those sounds like you, here are seven verified options, from a $7.65 starter pair to wrist wraps and grip pads.

Do you need gloves for Lagree?

Unlike grip socks, gloves are not part of the standard Lagree uniform. Studios generally require grip socks and leave gloves up to you, and plenty of regulars never wear them. Your hands do a lot of work in a Lagree class, though. You pull on the handles at either end of the carriage, hold strap loops through slow, controlled reps, and press into the platforms or carriage for long plank sequences. Lagree's slow tempo means each of those positions is held for longer than in most gym training, and the room gets hot.

That creates three situations where gloves or wraps earn their place:

  • Sweaty hands. If your grip starts slipping on the handles or straps late in class, a non-slip palm adds friction where sweat removes it.
  • Calluses and hot spots. Regular handle and strap work can build calluses on the palm. A glove or grip pad spreads the contact.
  • Wrists in long planks. Planks load the wrists in extension for a long time. Gloves alone do little here — wrist wraps, or a glove with built-in wraps, are the tool for this job.

If none of these is a problem for you, save your money. A towel within reach to dry your hands between exercises handles most grip issues for free.

01Best Overall

TAVI Half Finger Gym Gloves

$31.99

TAVI is a studio brand best known for grip socks, and its half-finger gloves are made for the same studio crowd. The half-finger cut is the right shape for Lagree: the palm is covered where the handle and strap loops sit, which helps when sweat starts making your grip slick late in class, while your fingertips stay free to feel the handle, adjust a strap or move a spring between exercises. That feedback matters on the Megaformer, where you change position constantly and often have to grab something quickly. It is the most expensive glove here, so it makes sense if you already know you want gloves rather than as an experiment. On Amazon this listing is sold by The Active Footwear Store.

02Best Budget

Gaiam Grippy Yoga Gloves

$7.65

If you are not sure whether gloves are for you, this is the cheap way to find out. Gaiam's grippy gloves are a yoga product rather than a Lagree one, but the job is similar: a grip layer between a sweaty palm and the surface you are pushing or pulling against. For Lagree, that means the handles at either end of the carriage, the strap loops and the platforms you press into during planks. At $7.65 the risk is minimal. If after a few classes you find yourself reaching for them every time, upgrade to a pair you choose for fit; if they end up in the bottom of your bag, you have learned that you do not need gloves for very little money.

03Best Fingerless

oasymala Non-Slip Fingerless Yoga Gloves

$13.98

Fingerless non-slip gloves are the middle ground between bare hands and a full gym glove. Covering the palm while leaving the fingers open keeps your dexterity for grabbing handles and adjusting straps, and lets more air reach your hands in a warm, sweaty room. For people who mainly want help in plank work — hands pressing into the platform or carriage for long holds — a non-slip palm is the part that matters. At $13.98 this oasymala pair sits between the Gaiam budget option and the TAVI premium pick. Check the listing's size guide against your hand measurement, because a loose glove can shift on the palm, which defeats the point.

04Best Value 2-Pack

Eurzom Yoga Pilates Gloves with Grips (2 Pairs)

$9.99

Lagree gloves get as sweaty as Lagree socks, and the same logic applies: if you train several times a week, a second pair means you are not pulling on damp gloves. This Eurzom listing gives you two pairs of yoga and Pilates gloves with grips for $9.99, which makes it the best value if you want a rotation. Treat them as everyday training gloves rather than a premium product. As with every glove here, the fit matters more than the brand — choose the size that sits snugly across the palm without bunching between your hand and the handle.

05Best Wrist Support

MhIL Workout Gloves with Wrist Wraps

$9.99

Lagree uses a lot of plank variations, held slowly and for long sets, and that puts sustained load through the wrists in extension. If your wrists are the first thing to complain, a glove with an integrated wrist wrap gives you some support and palm coverage in one piece. That is the appeal of this MhIL glove: a workout glove with built-in wrist wraps for $9.99. It is a gym glove rather than a studio glove, so it is chunkier than the yoga-style options above; that is the trade-off for the support. Wrap the wrist firmly but not tightly enough to cut off circulation, and loosen it between plank sequences. Persistent wrist pain is a reason to see a professional, not just to add support.

06Glove Alternative

PULLUP & DIP Neoprene Grip Pads (Set of 4)

$10.90

Grip pads are for people who dislike wearing gloves but still want something between their palm and the handle. These are neoprene pads that you hold between your hand and the handle or strap, and the set of four gives you a spare pair. The advantage is that there is nothing to put on or take off: your hands stay bare for planks and stretching, and you pick the pads up only for handle work. The disadvantage in Lagree specifically is that a loose pad is one more thing to manage during the class's fast transitions, and it is not useful when your hands are pressing on a platform. Try them if your main complaint is calluses or sweaty palms on the handles.

07Best Wrist Wraps

Harbinger Pro 20-Inch WristWraps (Pair)

$15.50

If your hands are fine but your wrists are not, skip gloves entirely and wear wrist wraps. These Harbinger Pro wraps come as a pair, are 20 inches long and have a thumb loop to anchor them while you wrap. Because they leave the hands completely bare, you keep full feel on the handles and platforms, while the wrap supports the wrist through long plank holds. They are a weight-training product, so expect a firmer wrap than a soft studio sleeve, and take them off — or loosen them — when you move to exercises that do not load the wrists. Sold by Amazon.com at the time we checked.

Not Lagree-branded? That's fine.

None of these products is made specifically for Lagree — they are yoga, Pilates and gym gloves, wraps and pads. That is normal: there is no separate Lagree glove category. What makes one right for Lagree is the problem it solves (grip, calluses or wrists), the fit, and whether it leaves your fingers free for the class's constant handle and strap changes. Prices shown are the Amazon prices we verified on October 2, 2026; sizes and colours can be priced differently.

Gloves vs wrist wraps vs grip pads

Grip gloves (TAVI, Gaiam, oasymala, Eurzom) cover the palm and help with sweat and calluses. Half-finger and fingerless styles suit Lagree best, because you need your fingertips to grab handles and adjust straps quickly between exercises.

Gloves with wrist wraps (MhIL) combine palm coverage with some wrist support. They are bulkier, but they cover both problems in one piece.

Wrist wraps (Harbinger Pro) leave your hands bare and only support the wrist. Choose these if your hands are fine but planks make your wrists ache.

Grip pads(PULLUP & DIP) sit between your palm and the handle without being worn. They suit people who dislike gloves, with the trade-off that they are one more loose item to manage during transitions.

What to check before buying

  • ⚠Start with the problem. Sweaty palms and calluses call for a grip glove or pads; sore wrists call for wraps.
  • ⚠Keep your fingertips free. Half-finger or fingerless styles make handle and strap changes quicker.
  • ⚠Snug fit. A glove that shifts on the palm makes grip worse, not better — size by hand measurement.
  • ⚠Two pairs if you train often. Gloves get as sweaty as socks in a Lagree class.
  • ⚠Wrap wrists firmly, not tightly, and loosen wraps between plank sequences.
  • ⚠Ask your instructor if you are unsure whether gloves suit a particular studio or exercise.

Frequently asked questions

Do you need gloves for Lagree?

No. Gloves are optional in Lagree, and most people train with bare hands. Studios typically require grip socks, not gloves. Gloves are worth considering if your hands get very sweaty on the handles and straps, if you are developing calluses, or — for wraps rather than gloves — if your wrists get sore in long planks.

Are Lagree gloves the same as Pilates gloves?

Essentially, yes. There is no special 'Lagree glove' category; the same grip gloves sold for Pilates, yoga and barre are what people wear on the Megaformer. What changes is the demand: Lagree is sweatier and has longer holds than many Pilates classes, so palm grip and wrist support matter more.

Fingerless or full-finger gloves for the Megaformer?

Fingerless or half-finger gloves are the more practical choice for most people. They cover the palm where the handles and strap loops sit while leaving the fingertips free to grab handles, adjust straps and change springs between exercises.

Will gloves help with wrist pain in Lagree planks?

Ordinary grip gloves will not do much for the wrist joint itself. If wrist support is the goal, choose a glove with an integrated wrist wrap or wear separate wrist wraps. Persistent wrist pain is a reason to talk to your instructor about modifications and to see a professional.

Can you wear gloves on the Megaformer handles?

Yes. Gloves are generally fine on the handles and straps. Ask your instructor if you are unsure, and make sure the gloves fit snugly — a loose glove can shift on the palm, which defeats the point.

How do you stop sweaty hands slipping in Lagree?

Start with the simple things: keep a towel close to wipe your hands between exercises, and dry the handles if they are slick. If that is not enough, a grip glove or a set of grip pads adds a layer between your palm and the handle.
