The New Innovative Way of Working Out
LA’s favorite workout is finally in the Big Apple. SLT New York is thrilled to be the only studio in Manhattan to feature fitness guru Sebastien Lagree’s acclaimed Megaformer™-based workout. There’s nothing out there quite like it, and the incredible results prove it!
Expect 50-minutes of heart-pumping music, muscle quivering, and total body strengthening, lengthening and toning in an inspiring, small-group setting (only up to 10 people per class). SLT offers a total-body program that melds together cardio training, weight-bearing activity and Pilates to create a revolutionary, one-of-a-kind fitness program that burns calories rapidly and allows you to sculpt your physique in ways traditional exercise cannot. Our state of the art Megaformers™ are designed to cater to both upper and lower body muscles using a system of springs and pulleys to accommodate the resistance and counter-resistance elements of the workout. Under the guidance of your certified instructor, SLT offers you a safe, effective, body-transforming workout.
Amanda Freeman (Owner and Devotee) – After hearing her friends in LA rave about the effectiveness of the workout, fitness-enthusiast Amanda had to try it for herself. One class and she was hooked and found herself planning her West Coast trips around her workouts. Tired of having to fly across the country to get her fix, she decided New Yorkers needed a studio of their own. Amanda is no stranger to the world of wellness. She also co-founded the healthy living daily email Vital Juice that chronicles the latest fitness, nutrition, beauty and wellness buzz.
The innovative Megaformer™/SPX Fitness™ workout is specifically designed to strengthen, lengthen, and tone the body quickly and safely. This workout is largely based on the holistic principles of Pilates, but is inherently different in that it also emphasizes cardio elements as well as strength training. By combining these specific elements into one, all inclusive workout muscle definition is reached faster than traditional Pilates and/or weight training alone… all in as little as 50 minutes.
By incorporating the key principles of core stability and blending them with the fusion of muscle dynamics, Sebastien Lagree has created “the next evolution in physical fitness.” This workout integrates the key elements of resistance and counter-resistance using a system of springs and pulleys in a sequence that allows for periods of zero gravity at peak muscle contraction. The composition of this method is significant in that it encourages maximum exertion while allowing for low risk of injury. The SPX workout strengthens the body, tones and elongates the muscles, improves endurance, jump-starts the metabolism, burns fat, increases flexibility and postural alignment, and restores the body’s natural balance.
At the core of the SPX training method is the Megaformer™, which represents a significant evolution of the traditional Pilates reformer. The state of the art Megaformers™ provide constant resistance and infinitely more exercise options than a traditional reformer; it allows the body to shift quickly and smoothly from one exercise to another to maintain increased heart rate and get the blood pumping. All muscle groups, from big to small, are strengthened in a non-aggressive, non-impact manner making this workout as good for your muscles as it is for your joints. Your spine stays protected, your mind engaged, and your body pushed to its limits. Under the guidance of your certified instructor, it’s one of the safest ways to strengthen your muscles while reducing stress on the joints and connective tissues.
There’s nothing out there quite like it, and the incredible results prove it! The heart-pumping, muscle aching, total body workout is tough, but fun. This workout integrates the key elements of resistance and counter-resistance using a system of springs and pulleys in a sequence that allows for periods of zero gravity at peak muscle contraction.
