Sebastien Lagree
With an MBA from Seattle University, advanced certifications for both weight training and Pilates, and over 18 years of professional experience in numerous aspects of health and fitness, Sebastien Lagree opened his first SPXTM studio in September of 2001.
SPXTM quickly developed a following of celebrities and top athletes. Simply put, SPXTM is the most innovative and aggressive approach to full body conditioning to date. It is the next evolution in physical fitness. Moving effectively out of the borders of conditioned stimulus, the SPXTM integrates the key elements of resistance and counter-resistance 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 a low risk of injury. This sequence also promotes flexibility and elasticity. The client, at conclusion, is left with a lithe and powerful body resistant to the everyday stresses of work and life.
The ProformerTM, also created by Sebastien Lagree, was first introduced in December 2005. Since, it has gone through many updates and, in April 2008, the new and improved ProFormerTM SPX made its debut. The ProFormerTM SPX is an incredibly complex fitness equipment that allows its user to get the benefit of 60 minutes session in almost half the time.
