About
Coastal Core
OUR Story
Coastal Core was founded out of a deep passion for the Lagree Method and a desire to bring this transformative workout to Nova Scotia. After experiencing firsthand how Lagree strengthens both body and mind, our founder was motivated to bring this effective and challenging style of training to the North End of Halifax.
More than just another workout, Coastal Core introduces a new way of moving. Our goal is to share the benefits of Lagree with locals who want results, crave variety, and are ready to support something fresh in their own backyard.
OUR Mission
To strengthen both body and community through mindful, results-driven fitness.
We are dedicated to delivering the innovative Lagree Method to Halifax’s growing and active community. By blending challenge with connection, we aim to create a space where people come together, support one another, and build lasting East Coast strength through movement.
Our VIBE
At Coastal Core, we fuse the intensity of the Lagree workout with the calm yet strong energy of the coast. Every class challenges your body with slow, controlled movements, like waves rolling with power and precision. It’s a workout that tones, transforms, and revitalizes you, so you walk out feeling stronger, lighter, and deeply connected—mind, body, and sea.

OUR EFFICIENCY
Every move is designed to do more.
Lagree combines strength, cardio, balance, flexibility, and core engagement into a single workout and into each individual movement. With this method, you workout smarter, not longer, for faster, safer results. -
OUR MOVEMENTS
Lagree is high intensity but low impact.
Each move is performed slowly and without momentum, reducing strain on joints and protecting the spine. This makes the workout accessible to all fitness levels while delivering serious strength-building benefits -
OUR EFFECTIVENESS
Lagree removes momentum to maintain constant tension, activating more slow-twitch, fat-burning muscle fibers. These fibers boost your metabolism, increase endurance, and build lean, strong, sculpted muscle. This method is scientifically proven to transform your body from the inside out.
OUR METHOd
Lagree is a full-body training system that burns 300–700 calories per session while targeting strength, stamina, and stability.
You’ll work your core in every move and push to your edge, with expert instructors guiding you the entire way.

The SCIENCE BEHIND THE METHOD
Lagree is a low-impact, high-intensity workout based on time-under-tension science. Every move is done slowly to remove momentum and keep your muscles under constant tension, activating fat-burning, slow-twitch muscle fibers. This not only sculpts stronger muscles but also increases your metabolic rate, meaning you burn more calories even after class.
At the heart of Lagree is the patented Megaformer, a machine designed by founder Sebastien Lagree. This innovative equipment allows for endless modifications, making classes accessible for all fitness levels while keeping workouts safe, challenging, and effective.
While Lagree is often compared to Pilates, it goes further by delivering a more intense, dynamic, and full-body experience that has earned its reputation worldwide as one of the most effective workouts available. Each class is led by a certified Lagree instructor, ensuring expert guidance and suitable modifications when needed, every step of the way.
Unlike traditional workouts, Lagree is low-impact yet high-intensity, protecting joints while pushing muscles to their limits. Every class works your strength, cardio, balance, flexibility, and core endurance in just 45 minutes.
