    Ep 13: The Power of Shared Vision
    13 Oct 2026
    Season 2 of Do You Lagree? kicks off with a vibrant, informative conversation between host Michael Chipman and the co-owners of Beatriders in Copenhagen, Konstantin Bohlender and Sybren Mensink whose innovative studio concept combines indoor cycling, weight training and Lagree, with a sauna and recovery space, all under one roof.

    We talk about:
    - Why offering several workouts under one roof leads clients to buy bigger memberships
    - Hiring for heart: how they find great coaches, and why 70% of their Lagree coaches started as clients
    - What they notice in auditions, long before anyone touches a machine
    - Their onboarding plan: each new coach keeps one routine for a week
    - Why new coaches make classes too complicated, and why clients aren't bored
    - Running a business as a couple, 24/7
    - Building a nightclub-style studio on a budget ("We're not a dental office")

    Ep 11: Sébastien Lagree, Creator and Founder, Lagree Fitness
    11 Aug 2026
    Host Michael Chipman welcomes Sébastien Lagree, inventor, founder, and CEO of Lagree Fitness, for a wide-ranging conversation about the origins of the method, the evolution of the machines, and the decades of experimentation that shaped Lagree into what it is today.

    From growing up outside Paris and discovering bodybuilding to arriving in Los Angeles with little money and an unexpected path into personal training, Sébastien shares how his understanding of resistance, intensity, and muscular endurance led him to rethink what was possible on a Pilates reformer. What began as a practical effort to give clients a more complete and challenging workout gradually became an entirely new method, supported by machines designed specifically to deliver it.

    The conversation traces the development of Lagree through its earliest studio days, the creation of the Proformer and Megaformer, the shift from repetitions to time under tension, and the constant drive to remove interruption and improve the workout experience. It is also a candid look at innovation, studio ownership, trainer compensation, copycats, and why the true method cannot be reduced to individual exercises or equipment alone.
