The Lagree Micro
(2026): Specs, Springs & Real Cost
Updated October 2026 · 12 min read

The Micro is the only machine Lagree Fitness sells for the home, and its Amazon listing has one blunt line in the title: “Not Pilates, it's Lagree.” Before you spend $990.00 on it, here is everything the spec sheet tells you — the exact size and weight, what each of the four springs does, how much floor you really need, which add-ons are worth it, and what a complete setup costs against a studio class pack.
All prices and specifications were checked live on Amazon on October 4, 2026. The Micro and its accessories are sold by Lagree Fitness itself; the pulley cables were low on stock. Prices change, so the final price is whatever Amazon shows at checkout.
The verdict
Buy it ifyou already take Lagree classes, want genuine Lagree at home between them, and have about seven feet of floor (eight with the rear platform). It is the brand's own machine, compact enough to slide under a bed, and fits users up to 6'8".
Skip it if you have never done Lagree, or you actually want Pilates. Lagree depends heavily on instructor cues, and a Pilates reformer is a different machine for a different method.
Budget for the rear platform. The realistic setup is $1,280.00, not $990.00.

The four springs, explained
The Micro ships with four springs, each a different load. Choosing which ones to use is how you set the difficulty of every move.
Red
Heavy
Gray
Medium
Black
Light
White
Extra light
One thing that surprises people new to Lagree: lighter is not automatically easier. Pressing moves such as Catfish are generally done heavy so the tension lands in the abs, while a lighter load can make the carriage less stable and harder to control in other moves. If you train from Lagree On Demand videos, follow the instructor's spring cues rather than guessing. For the moves themselves, see Lagree exercises explained.
Before you buy
How much space you really need
The Micro is small for a carriage machine, but you still need a clear strip of floor long enough to lie and lunge on, plus room to step on and off.
Micro alone
72" x 20" — exactly 10 sq ft of footprint. Add space on at least one long side to mount and dismount, so think in terms of a 7 ft x 4 ft zone.
With the rear platform
81.5" x 20". The platform adds almost 10 inches of length, so plan an 8 ft x 4 ft zone. Measure before ordering the platform, not after.
Height and storage
At 6" high and 60 lb, it slides under many beds, leans against a wall or hangs on a bike rack, according to Lagree Fitness. Check your bed clearance first.
Floor protection
A 60 lb machine with a moving carriage will mark wood floors and creep on hard ones. An equipment mat steadies it and protects the floor — size it to the setup you are buying.
The machine
The Micro by Lagree Fitness
Lagree Fitness describes the Micro as compact, lightweight and portable, designed to strengthen, tighten and tone as quickly as its larger predecessor, the Megaformer — but at home. That comparison is the brand's own claim; what is certain is that it is the genuine Lagree home machine, sold by Lagree Fitness, not a look-alike.
The Machine
The Micro by Lagree Fitness
$990.00Lagree Fitness's own home machine, sold by Lagree Fitness on Amazon. Per the listing: 72" long x 20" wide x 6" high, 60 lb, four springs (red heavy, gray medium, black light, white extra light), built for low-impact, high-intensity strength and cardio, and designed to accommodate users up to 6'8". It stores under a bed, against a wall or on a bike rack.
Shop on AmazonThe three add-ons, ranked
Lagree Fitness sells three accessories for the Micro, all on Amazon. They are not equally important.
Add-On #1
Lagree Fitness Micro Rear Platform
$290.00A sturdy rear surface for your feet, hands, knees and heels. Lagree Fitness lists the express lunge, 5th lunge, super crunch and giant wheelbarrow among the moves it adds. The platform is 10.5" L x 8.5" W x 6" H, and with it fitted the Micro becomes 81.5" L x 20" W x 6" H. Sold by Lagree Fitness.
Shop on AmazonAdd-On #2
Lagree Fitness Micro Handlebars (Pair)
$190.00Handlebars designed with comfort and wrist support in mind, for moves such as Catfish, Twister, Spoon and Runner's Lunge. They fit the front or back of the Micro (the back needs the rear platform) and install in seconds with a pull-pin, no tools. Sold as a pair: for handles at both ends at once you need two pairs. Sold by Lagree Fitness.
Shop on AmazonAdd-On #3
Lagree Fitness Micro Pulley Cables
$230.00The Micro's cable attachment, sold by Lagree Fitness. Be aware that the Amazon listing gives almost no specification beyond the name, and stock is limited — if you want details or it is unavailable, check lagreefitness.com before ordering.
Shop on AmazonThree things the listings tell you
- Platform before back handlebars. Handlebars can only go on the back of the Micro once the rear platform is fitted.
- One pair = one end. For handlebars front and back at the same time, buy two pairs ($380.00). The pull-pin fitting means you can also move one pair between ends in seconds.
- Cables last. The pulley cables listing carries almost no detail and limited stock; ask Lagree Fitness for specifics if you need them.
The real cost
Five ways to build a Micro setup
The Micro only
≈ 22–28 studio classes
Micro + rear platform
≈ 28–37 studio classes
Micro + platform + one pair of handlebars
≈ 33–42 studio classes
Everything (one pair of handlebars)
≈ 38–49 studio classes
Everything with handlebars front and back
≈ 42–54 studio classes
Class equivalents assume Lagree classes at $35–$45 each, a common range in major US cities. Train three times a week and the Micro with its platform equals roughly two to three months of classes; once a week, closer to half a year. Most owners keep some studio classes for the coaching, so treat these numbers as the ceiling on savings. Add a streaming subscription from Lagree On Demand if you want guided Micro classes.
Complete the setup
The home kit around the Micro
None of these are Lagree-branded, and none are essential. They are simply what makes a home Lagree session safer, quieter and closer to the studio: a mat sized to the machine, grip underfoot, a cushion for kneeling work and a timer.
Floor Mat — Micro Only
Marcy Equipment Mat & Floor Protector (78" x 36")
$32.92A 1/4-inch EVA foam equipment mat with a non-slip matte layer that steadies machines and absorbs impact. At 78" long it covers the Micro's 72" length with room to spare, but not the 81.5" of a Micro with the rear platform. Sold by Amazon.com.
Shop on AmazonFloor Mat — With Platform
Rubber-Cal Diamond-Plate Rubber Flooring Roll (4 x 7 ft, 3mm)
$49.50A 3mm synthetic-rubber protector roll, 4 ft x 7 ft — that is 84" long, enough for the 81.5" Micro-plus-platform footprint, and wide enough to step around the machine. Sold by Amazon.com.
Shop on AmazonGrip
toesox Low Rise Grip Socks 2-Pack (Full Toe)
$30.00Full-toe grip socks with a patented non-slip sole, in a 77% organic cotton blend. Lunges between platform and carriage are where you slip, so grip matters as much at home as in a studio. Sold by The Active Footwear Store.
Shop on AmazonKneeling
Impulse Yoga Knee Pad Cushion (1")
$19.99One inch of foam for kneeling moves on the carriage or floor work beside the machine.
Shop on AmazonTiming
Gymboss Interval Timer
$20.95Lagree is timed, not counted. This pager-sized timer runs one or two intervals from 2 seconds to 99 minutes with up to 99 repeats, and alerts by chime and vibration — handy when you train without a class video.
Shop on AmazonMore choice in each category: Lagree socks, Lagree knee pads and interval timers for Lagree.
The honest drawbacks
- No instructor in the box. Lagree relies on constant cues — slower, lower, hips level. Without classes or on-demand videos, most people drift into moving too fast.
- The base price is not the real price. Most of the move library people know from class needs the rear platform, which takes the setup to $1,280.00.
- Thin details on the cables. The pulley cables listing gives almost no information. That is unusual for a $230 accessory.
- Stock can be patchy. Accessories have run low on Amazon. If something is unavailable, the same products are sold direct at lagreefitness.com.

Frequently asked questions
How big is the Lagree Micro?
According to the Amazon listing, The Micro measures 72 inches long, 20 inches wide and 6 inches high, and weighs 60 lb. With the optional rear platform fitted it becomes 81.5 inches long. Plan for space around it to step on and off and to move the carriage through its full range.
How many springs does the Lagree Micro have?
Four: one red (heavy), one gray (medium), one black (light) and one white (extra light). Different springs give you different loads, so you can make a move harder or easier — and in Lagree, lighter is not always easier, because a lighter load can make the carriage less stable.
Can tall people use the Lagree Micro?
Yes. The listing says the Micro accommodates users up to 6'8", which covers almost everyone.
Is the Lagree Micro worth it?
For people who already take Lagree classes and want to train between them, it can be. The Micro is $990.00; with the rear platform it is $1,280.00. At $35–$45 a class, the Micro alone equals roughly 22–28 classes. It does not replace an instructor, so it suits people who already know the method.
Which Lagree Micro accessory should I buy first?
The rear platform. It adds the most exercises (express lunge, 5th lunge, super crunch, giant wheelbarrow and more) and you need it before handlebars can go on the back. Handlebars come next for stability in moves like Catfish and Spoon. The pulley cables have the least published detail and limited stock.
Where can I find Lagree Micro workouts?
The Micro's Amazon listing points to Lagree On Demand at lagreeod.com for virtual Micro classes — Lagree's own streaming library.
Is the Lagree Micro the same as a Pilates reformer?
No. The listing itself says "Not Pilates, it's Lagree". Both use springs and a sliding carriage, but the Micro is built for the Lagree method's slow, time-under-tension exercises and machine layout, not the Pilates reformer repertoire.
