Slow on purpose. Strong for longer.
Why Lagree?
In our Morgan Hill studio, we pair these ten scientific Lagree Fitness principles with a focus on mental resilience and longevity. There is no momentum to help you; the springs are working against you through every inch of every move. Whether you are on the Mega Pro for the first time or the five-hundredth, the goal remains the same: a stronger, more capable version of you.
The Foundation of the Work
We don’t just train hard; we train smart. The Oak Method utilizes the 10 Core Principles of Lagree Fitness to deliver a workout that is high-intensity, low-impact, and designed for life-long strength.
-
Precision in alignment to maximize muscle recruitment and protect your joints.
-
Staying in the tension zone where the muscle is most challenged, never letting it "switch off.”
-
Our signature "Slow Burn." Moving at a 4-to-8 second count to eliminate momentum and maximize Time Under Tension.
-
Training each muscle group to the point of "the shake" to trigger positive physical adaptation.
-
Utilizing variable spring tension for constant, joint-friendly loading through every inch of the rep.
-
Strategically ordering exercises to exhaust specific muscle groups for maximum metabolic impact
-
Keeping transitions under 5 seconds to maintain an elevated heart rate and prevent muscle recovery
-
Moving the body in multiple directions—front to back, side to side, and rotational—for real-world functional strength
-
Continuously challenging the body by adjusting resistance, duration, and intensity to prevent plateaus
-
Developing neuromuscular pathways by focusing intently on the muscle being worked, ensuring every movement is intentional.
