What Your First Pilates-Inspired Strength Class Actually Feels Like
You did it.
You talked to a coach. You made a plan. You booked the class…and somehow you’re still thinking:
“Wait…what is this actually going to feel like?”
That first class can feel like a question mark. So let’s break it down so you know exactly what to expect in your first Pilates-inspired strength training class at Core (LP).
Why You’re Not Seeing Results Even Though You’re Consistent
You’re not new to consistency. You show up, you book the classes. You make exercise part of your week. You’ve done the “keep going and I’ll see results” when you don’t feel like showing up more times than you can count.
So when your body doesn’t feel different yet…it’s frustrating. Because if consistency was the only answer, you’d have figured it out.
So what’s going on!?

Core (LP) Turns 1
As I sit here and reflect on this past year, I am in true awe of each and every client who has walked through our doors.

Beat the Summer Slump: How to Stay Motivated in Your Fitness Routine
July is here and summer is in full swing. Sunshine, relaxation, and exciting adventures are on all our minds – which can also bring about a decline in motivation when it comes to maintaining a regular fitness routine.
Summer often brings unique challenges and excuses that can disrupt our fitness routine. Travel plans, social events, and the desire to simply unwind often pushes our workouts down to the bottom of our to-do list. Or simply changes to daily routines can disrupt our regular exercise habits, and make it tougher to pick up where we left off.
If you’re looking for ways to beat the summer slump and stay motivated on your fitness journey, we have some tips on how to ensure you make the most of the season while still prioritizing your long-play.

How to Know Your Workout Rocked — Without Your Wearable
We know it too well. That feeling you get when you forget to close the ring after a solid workout. When your tracker says you burned 290 calories so you do a couple extra push-ups to reach 300 even though your chest and shoulders are fried. When your body is screaming for a break but you told yourself you have to reach 500 calories today to go out with your friends later.
Why Every Runner Should Be Doing Lagree!
As the Michigan weather gets warmer and spring and summer start shining through, the urge to run outside becomes almost a right of passage. What’s better than that rush of Vitamin D, the wind in your face, and nodding at your fellow runners on your route. As awesome as running is, and lets be honest runners high is completely real, it’s almost equally as important to cross-train to keep you in tip top shape. Today we’re taking about great ways to cross-train for your next marathon, 10K or favorite cardio activity! Here are our four major reasons why Running + Lagree = the perfect combination.

A Note From Our Owner, Judy
Over the past two years, thanks to the Core (LP) community, the benefits of Lagree have spread to the people of Metro-Detroit far and wide. On the eve of opening our doors for not only 1:1's but small group training, I am completely humbled, grateful, and appreciative to my partner, friends, family, staff, and most of all YOU. Without your interest, support, and desire to better yourselves and your health, Core (LP) would have remained an idea. We are honored that you have chosen Core (LP) for your fitness needs and cannot wait to Bear, Saw, and Wheelbarrow with you.
