(2026): The Micro, Megaformer & What to Buy
Updated September 2026 · 11 min read
*Most links on this page go to Amazon, and we earn a small commission on qualifying purchases. The Megaformer is not sold on Amazon and links directly to lagreefitness.com; it is labelled as such.
Lagree Fitness is the company behind the Lagree method and the Megaformer, the spring-loaded machine you shake on in Lagree studios. What most people do not realise is that you can buy genuine Lagree-branded equipment for home: The Micro, Lagree Fitness's compact home machine, and its accessories are sold by Lagree Fitness through its own Amazon store. This guide covers who the brand is, how the method works, the machine family, and exactly what a full home setup costs.
Every Amazon listing below was checked as live on September 28, 2026, at the price shown. The Micro and the Micro Pulley Cables were low on stock at that time; if either is unavailable, buy direct from lagreefitness.com. Prices change, so the final price is whatever the retailer shows at checkout.

What Lagree Fitness is
Lagree Fitness is the company behind the Lagree method, which was created by Sebastien Lagree, and it makes the machines the method is taught on. When you book a Lagree class, the machine under you is a Megaformer, and the workout is built around it. That tight link between method and machine is what makes Lagree different from most boutique formats: the equipment is not generic gym kit with a branded class on top, it is the thing the whole programme is written for.
For shoppers, the brand splits into two product lines. The Megaformer is the commercial studio machine, sold directly by Lagree Fitness. The Micro is the compact home machine, and it, together with its rear platform, handlebars and pulley cables, is sold by Lagree Fitness on Amazon. That matters because it means the Amazon listings on this page are the real, brand-sold products, not look-alikes from unrelated sellers.
If you are comparing Lagree with Pilates before you commit to either, start with Lagree vs Pilates, then come back here for the equipment.
The Lagree method in brief
Lagree is a high-intensity, low-impact workout. Instead of jumping or running, you move slowly and with control against spring resistance, keeping muscles working for long stretches. The shaking you feel halfway through a set is the point.
Slow and controlled
Every rep is deliberately slow. Moving fast actually makes it easier, which is why instructors keep cueing you to slow down.
Time under tension
Muscles stay loaded for the whole set rather than resting at the top or bottom of each rep. That is where the burn comes from.
Springs and a carriage
Like a Pilates reformer, the machine uses springs and a sliding carriage, but the layout, platforms and exercise library are Lagree's own.
Low impact, high effort
There is no jumping, which is easier on joints, yet the workout is intense. Strength and cardio happen in the same class.
The studio machine
The Megaformer
The Megaformer is the machine that defines Lagree. It is built for studios: commercial-grade, designed for back-to-back classes and sized for a studio floor rather than a spare room. Lagree Fitness sells it directly, and current models are referred to as the M3S and M3X. We do not quote a price here because Lagree Fitness provides pricing on request. For most people reading this, the Megaformer is the machine you use in class, not the one you buy.

The home machine
The Micro by Lagree Fitness
The Micro is the reason this page exists. It is Lagree Fitness's own answer to “can I do Lagree at home?”, and at $990.00 it is sold by Lagree Fitness through its Amazon store. Here is what the listing says it does, and what that means in practice.
Megaformer-style, smaller
Designed to deliver the Megaformer-style workout in a smaller machine. It is the brand's own home format, not a third-party copy.
Strength and cardio
Low-impact, high-intensity strength and cardio training, the same promise as a studio class.
Compact and portable
Compact, lightweight and portable. It stores under a bed, against a wall or on a bike rack, so it does not need a dedicated room.
Fits tall users
Accommodates users up to 6'8", which is unusually generous for a home machine.
Home machine
The Micro by Lagree Fitness
$990.00Lagree Fitness's own compact home machine, sold by Lagree Fitness through its Amazon store. The listing describes it as low-impact, high-intensity strength and cardio training in a compact, lightweight, portable machine designed to deliver the Megaformer-style workout in a smaller footprint. It accommodates users up to 6'8" and can be stored under a bed, against a wall or on a bike rack. Stock can be limited: if the Amazon listing shows unavailable, buy direct from lagreefitness.com.
Shop on AmazonLimited stock: the Micro was showing low stock on Amazon when we checked. If the listing is unavailable, the same machine is sold direct at lagreefitness.com.
An honest caveat: a machine at home does not come with an instructor. Lagree relies heavily on cueing (slower, lower, tuck), so the Micro makes most sense for people who already know the method from class. New to Lagree? Take a few studio classes first — our Lagree for beginners guide explains what to expect — and read Lagree at home for how to structure home sessions.
Micro accessories: what each one unlocks
The Micro works on its own, but Lagree Fitness sells three add-ons, all through the same Amazon store. They are not all equal. Here is how to decide.
Accessory
Lagree Fitness Micro Rear Platform
$290.00Adds a sturdy rear surface for your feet, hands or knees, which unlocks Lagree moves such as the express lunge, 5th lunge, super crunch and giant wheelbarrow. The platform itself measures 10.5" L x 8.5" W x 6" H, and the Micro with the platform fitted measures 81.5" L x 20" W x 6" H. Sold by Lagree Fitness.
Shop on AmazonAccessory
Lagree Fitness Micro Handlebars (Pair)
$190.00Handlebars that add stability, usable at the front or the back of the Micro. Mounting them at the back requires the rear platform. They are sold as a pair, so if you want handlebars at the front AND the back at the same time, you need two sets. Sold by Lagree Fitness.
Shop on AmazonAccessory
Lagree Fitness Micro Pulley Cables
$230.00The cable attachment for the Micro, sold by Lagree Fitness. The Amazon listing gives no further specifications, so check with Lagree Fitness if you need details before buying. Stock is limited; if it is unavailable on Amazon, buy direct from lagreefitness.com.
Shop on AmazonHow to prioritise
- Rear platform first. It adds the most exercises (express lunge, 5th lunge, super crunch, giant wheelbarrow), and it is required before handlebars can go at the back.
- The handlebar gotcha. One pair ($190.00) goes at the front or the back, not both. If you want handlebars in both positions at once, buy two pairs: 2 × $190.00 = $380.00.
- Pulley cables last. Useful for cable work, but the listing gives no further detail and stock is limited. If Amazon is out, check lagreefitness.com.
What the full setup costs

Class gear (optional)$122.58
The six gear picks listed further down this page.
Cost vs classes
Lagree classes commonly cost $35–$45 or more each in major US cities. Dividing each price by $45 and by $35 gives a rough break-even:
- The Micro only ($990.00): about 22–28 classes
- Micro + rear platform ($1,280.00): about 28–37 classes
- Full Micro setup ($1,700.00): about 38–49 classes
If you go three times a week, the full setup is worth roughly three to four months of classes at those prices. If you go once a week, it takes most of a year. Most people who buy a Micro keep some studio classes for the instruction, so treat these figures as a ceiling on savings rather than a promise. See how much Pilates costs for how boutique class pricing compares.
What to wear and bring
Gear for Lagree, at home or in class
Lagree is slower and sweatier than most Pilates reformer classes, so grip matters more, and loose shorts or zips are a liability on a moving carriage. These six picks cover the basics; the full best, budget and splurge list for every category is in our Lagree essentials guide.
toesox Low Rise Grip Socks 2-Pack (Full Toe) · $30.00
Lagree is sweaty and slow — grip on the carriage and platform matters.
Impulse Yoga Knee Pad Cushion (1") · $19.99
Cushions kneeling work on the carriage or the floor.
CRZ YOGA Butterluxe Biker Shorts 6" · $24.00
Tight biker shorts do not ride up or catch on the carriage.
Gymboss Interval Timer · $20.95
Lagree sets are timed — useful when training on a Micro at home.
All six$122.58
Honest comparison
The Micro vs a Pilates reformer
Both machines use springs and a sliding carriage, so it is tempting to treat them as interchangeable. They are not. Lagree is a different method with its own machine layout, exercise library and pace: slower, longer sets and more time under tension. A Pilates reformer is designed for Pilates repertoire, with footbar and strap work built around it. You can get a hard workout on either, but you will not be doing Lagree on a Pilates reformer.
Choose the Micro if…
You love Lagree classes specifically, want the brand's own home machine, and value compact storage. Budget $990 to $1,700 depending on accessories.
Choose a Pilates reformer if…
You actually prefer Pilates, or you want a machine for Pilates repertoire. Reformers span a wide price range, from under $300 to several thousand dollars.
If you decide a Pilates reformer is the better fit, these two bracket the market. To be clear: neither is a Lagree machine.
Not Lagree
WINDFOOT Foldable Pilates Reformer
$295.99This is a Pilates reformer, not a Lagree machine. It is a foldable spring-and-carriage reformer from a newer budget brand with less of a track record. It suits Pilates reformer workouts at home, but it will not reproduce Lagree-specific moves or the Megaformer layout.
Shop on AmazonNot Lagree
Merrithew At Home SPX Reformer Package
$3,349.00This is a Pilates reformer, not a Lagree machine. Merrithew (STOTT PILATES) is an established studio equipment brand and the At Home SPX is its home spring reformer. Buy it if you want Pilates reformer training for years, not as a Megaformer substitute.

Frequently asked questions
What is Lagree Fitness?
Lagree Fitness is the company behind the Lagree method and the Megaformer machine, founded by Sebastien Lagree. The method is a slow, controlled, high-intensity, low-impact workout built around time under tension on a spring-loaded carriage machine. The company also makes The Micro, a compact home machine.
Is the Lagree Micro worth it?
If you already take Lagree classes regularly, it can be. The Micro costs $990.00 on its own and $1,700.00 with the rear platform, one pair of handlebars and the pulley cables. Lagree classes commonly cost $35–$45 or more each in major US cities, so the Micro alone equals roughly 22–28 classes and the full setup roughly 38–49 classes. It will not replace an instructor's cues, so many people keep some studio classes.
What is the difference between the Micro and the Megaformer?
The Megaformer is Lagree Fitness's commercial studio machine, sold directly by Lagree Fitness with pricing on request. The Micro is its compact, lightweight home machine, designed to deliver the Megaformer-style workout in a smaller machine that stores under a bed, against a wall or on a bike rack. The Micro costs $990 on Amazon, and adding the rear platform, handlebars and pulley cables expands the moves you can do on it.
Can tall people use the Lagree Micro?
Yes. According to the Amazon listing, the Micro accommodates users up to 6'8". With the rear platform fitted, the machine measures 81.5" long, 20" wide and 6" high, so plan floor space for that length plus room to move around it.
Where can I buy Lagree Fitness equipment?
The Micro (B0BBT7YV93), the Micro Rear Platform, the Micro Handlebars and the Micro Pulley Cables are sold by Lagree Fitness through its own Amazon store. The Micro and the pulley cables can be low on stock; if they are unavailable, buy direct from lagreefitness.com. The Megaformer is not sold on Amazon and is available only from Lagree Fitness directly.
Do I need the Micro accessories?
No, the Micro works on its own. The rear platform ($290) is the most useful add-on because it unlocks moves such as the express lunge, 5th lunge, super crunch and giant wheelbarrow, and it is required if you want to mount handlebars at the back. Handlebars ($190 a pair) add stability; you need two pairs for front and back at the same time. The pulley cables ($230) add cable work.
Is a Pilates reformer the same as a Lagree Micro?
No. Both use springs and a sliding carriage, but the Lagree method is a different workout with its own machine layout, pace and exercises. A Pilates reformer such as the WINDFOOT foldable ($295.99) or the Merrithew At Home SPX ($3,349.00) is built for Pilates, not Lagree.
