Booking is simple—reserve a spot in Lagree Foundations, Signature 40 or Signature 45 through our online schedule or the Body Politik app at any of our three studios: Scottsdale, Paradise Valley or Gilbert. First-timers can also take advantage of our Intro 2 Pack ($40) or Intro Unlimited 2 Weeks ($99) to try multiple classes at a reduced rate. Just plan to arrive 15 minutes early so we can walk you through intake and get you set up on the Megaformer before class starts.

Not by requirement, but we recommend it. Lagree Foundations gives you the full Body Politik experience—same intensity, same programming philosophy—with more room to slow down and learn the Megaformer, the transitions and the terminology. You're welcome to book any class on our schedule, but Foundations, Signature 40 or Signature 45 are built to give first-timers the strongest start.

There's no fixed number as everybody adjusts to the Megaformer at their own pace. Some clients feel ready for any Signature class after one Foundations session; others prefer two or three or even more. With each class, the machine becomes more familiar and the transitions become more intuitive, so let your comfort, not a countdown, decide when you're ready to progress.

Grip socks are required on the Megaformer. Bring a pair if you have them or you may purchase them in-studio before class. Wear form-fitting athletic wear so your instructor can see your alignment and give accurate cues and bring water. Everything else—intake and a full walkthrough of the machine—we'll handle when you arrive.

Every Body Politik instructor is trained to coach first-timers through their first class. Alignment, tempo, transitions and modifications are part of every class, not reserved for beginner sessions.

Modifying is part of the method, not a failure of it. Every exercise on the Megaformer has options to make it more accessible and your instructor will offer them throughout class. If you have a particular concern or limitation, it is always best to let your instructor know before class begins so that they can make proper sequencing adjustments for you when necessary.

The Megaformer is not a Pilates reformer, even though the two look similar. Lagree is a higher-intensity, low-impact strength method that combines slow, controlled resistance work with elements of cardio and endurance training—built to challenge strength, stability and muscular endurance in a single 40- or 45-minute class. If you've used a Pilates reformer before, we'll still need to brief you on how our Megaformer operates differently before your first class.

Please check with your physician before starting or continuing any exercise program while pregnant and let us know when you book so your instructor is prepared. Many clients continue modified Lagree workouts throughout pregnancy with their doctor's guidance and our instructors can offer trimester-appropriate modifications before and during class. If it's your first time on the Megaformer and you are pregnant, we'd recommend taking one of our Prenatal Lagree classes, when offered, and/or a private session to learn Lagree pregnancy modifications before jumping into the group setting.

Nothing specific is required—Lagree Foundations is designed to meet you exactly where you are. That said, a general base of core stability and light strength training (bodyweight squats, planks, lunges) can smooth out the learning curve a bit, since the Megaformer challenges control and stability more than raw range of motion. Come as you are and we'll do the rest.
