Lisa G.

Level 3 Master Trainer & Co-Owner

Lisa’s road to a holistic lifestyle began in 1998 when activity and health became deeply ingrained in her daily ritual. Today, she studies nutrition and herbology and is dedicated to hiking, running, circuit training, yoga and spin. An integral part of her fitness practice is her commitment to Lagree, which she believes has provided her an incredible mixture of body awareness, and mental and physical strength. A natural energizer, Lisa takes her internal passion and applies it to everyone she works with. When she sees her clients thriving and transforming — while building the abs and booty of their dreams — her heart is full. High-energy, upbeat and designed to motivate, Lisa is a positive fitness trainer who values true connection with her clients. A Lagree-Certified Level 3 Master Trainer, Mad Dogg Spinning Instructor and professionally trained in TRX, Lisa is as challenging as she is inspiring.

Rachel

Rachel

Rachel has been practicing the method for over seven years and has experienced life-changing results. She was on the megaformer every day throughout her pregnancy and attributes her post-baby physical and mental recovery to Lagree.

Kayla

Kayla

Kayla grew up in the midwest and has always led an active lifestyle. As a competitive dancer in her youth, she deeply understands and values the importance of good form. While on a vacation in Denver in 2015, Kayla discovered Lagree. She loved the method so much, she took a leap to become Lagree certified a year later. Kayla is known for her fun playlists, and loves to have a good time and "get our shake on". Kayla's favorite move is 5th lunge because she loves how quickly it sparks heat and shakes while pulling against the tension of the megaformer.
Alec

Alec

Alec is a DTLA-based architect and artist whose only workout is Lagree. He believes so strongly in the effectiveness of the method for building more strength, increasing muscle tone and getting better cardio, that he decided to pursue trainer certification in 2022. His main goal as a trainer is to lead by example: he will challenge you to work hard towards reaching that satisfying threshold of mind and body transformation that he has discovered through Lagree. When he isn't designing, working out or teaching, Alec enjoys old-school activities like reading books and taking photos with a vintage camera.
Marisol

Marisol

Marisol fell in love with the Lagree method while in college. She knew then she wanted to teach one day, and a few years later she earned her Lagree Fitness certification. She enjoys lifting, running and boxing, but Lagree tops them all. During her class, you can expect to get a great workout and have fun while doing it. Marisol wants ALL fitness levels to feel welcome in her classes — she offers regression and progression options to meet you where you’re at! It brings her genuine joy to see her clients get stronger and stronger each class.
Stephanie R

Stephanie R

Until she found Lagree in 2016, Stephanie grew up a star athlete but struggled in adulthood to find a workout she loved. She connected deeply with the method, seeing the positive impacts on both her physical and mental health. Stephanie believed so thoroughly in the method that she wanted to share her passion with others, so she earned her certification in 2022. Stephanie’s classes are challenging, but promise you’ll leave with a smile! Her personality and sense of humor shine through her routines and she loves seeing her clients improve with every class.
Michael C.

Michael C.

Michael is a Level 3 Lagree Certified Master Trainer and co-director of the Lagree213 Level 1 Certification program with Lisa Goldsman. A passionate educator, Michael brings decades of experience as a college professor, writer, and private voice teacher to his work as a Lagree fitness instructor and teacher trainer. He discovered Lagree at the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic and began practicing almost daily at the Lagree213 outdoor studio. After years of practicing yoga and Pilates (in addition to triathlon and fitness training) he found the Lagree method to be so transformational—body, mind, and soul—that he jumped at the chance to become a certified trainer in 2021, and he taught regular classes at Lagree213 for several years before moving to Paris, France in 2024 as the lead Master Trainer for Lagree Fitness in Europe. He returns to co-lead Lagree213’s certification program. Find him on the schedule as a guest trainer when he’s in town.
Liv

Liv

A New Yorker born and raised, Liv grew up a dancer. After establishing a professional dance career, she developed a debilitating eating disorder with aspects of exercise addiction. She came to California to attend treatment, and to gain her life and freedom back. It was in Los Angeles that she found Lagree and immediately fell in love with the unique method. Gradually growing out of love with dance but recognizing her innate ability to teach, she followed her passion for Lagree and became a certified trainer — and the rest is history. In love with the method, it’s everything she’s always wanted in a workout and is whole-heartedly excited about sharing it with others.
Lauren

Lauren

Lauren fell in love with the method over seven years ago. She earned her certification as she began her grad school journey. She is a full-time Registered Dietitian and loves subbing when her schedule allows. Lauren’s favorite things about teaching include connecting with clients beyond quick ‘hellos’ and ‘goodbyes’, and watching them become stronger. Don't worry, Lauren will always believe in balance — ice cream is approved… as long as it’s enjoyed after taking her class.
Hyesil

Hyesil

Hyesil is an East Coast gal from New York who moved to Los Angeles during the pandemic. As a fitness enthusiast, an active lifestyle has always been central to her routine, but Hyesil gained a greater understanding of the importance of strength from both a mental and physical perspective through Lagree. Realizing that working out is so much more than just a physical activity, she became a certified trainer in order to share her positive, healthy mindset and relationship with exercise with others.
Kristin

Kristin

Kristin found her love of group fitness as the only 15-year-old in a sea of 30 and 40-year-olds at step classes at the YMCA in Corpus Christi, TX. She was hooked, and went on to teach cardio and fitness at the University of Virginia, and became a cycling instructor upon moving to the City of Angels, before stumbling into pilates reformer training. In addition to Lagree, Kristin is certified with MadDog Athletics, Schwinn, AFFA, the Equinox Pilates Program, TRX, and Inka suspension training. You may have heard her cough, mumble, or clap on a number of television shows, and she has written 4 middle grade holiday adventure chapter books. Her Lagree classes are not known for being easy; she is a stickler for form, and with both music and exercise, she likes to mix things up. She believes that although fitness may not cure all the world’s evils, it is a good place to start.
Abby

Abby

Abby’s passion for fitness started with a love for trying out new workout classes. Her journey with Lagree began when she was just merely looking for something uniquely challenging, and like many others, she was intrigued by the way it pushed her mental and physical limits. It started with taking classes consistently for weeks but the strength she gained was transformative, not just for her body but for her soul. As a trainer today, she’s dedicated to inspiring others, helping them feel strong and confident in their own bodies. With every class, she hopes to share the passion and empowerment that Lagree has brought into her life. You can expect an eclectic range of music in her playlist!
Carolyn

Carolyn

Los Angeles born and raised, Carolyn has always loved the motivation and community that comes with group activities/workout classes such as dance, volleyball, hiking, yoga, barre, boxing, etc. Unfortunately, she dislocated her left knee and tore her meniscus while playing competitive volleyball. Struggling to find a high intensity but low impact workout that was injury friendly and did not involve quick turns, twists, or jumps, Carolyn took her first Lagree class in 2022 and instantly became addicted. She got certified a year later and commits herself to constantly creating a safe space for community, growth, strength and encouragement in all her classes! Her favorite music to play while teaching ranges from upbeat r&b, hip hop, dance, and house.
Dyani

Dyani

Dyani moved to Los Angeles in 2018, bringing with her a passion for fitness after years of playing competitive softball through college. Searching for a workout that matched the intensity and fulfillment she found as a collegiate athlete, Dyani discovered Lagree and knew it was the perfect fit. Dyani loves curating fun and challenging routines, always accompanied by her favorite hip hop and R&B artists. Her vibrant energy shines through her routines, motivating clients to push their limits and leave the studio feeling stronger and more energized. When she’s not teaching, Dyani enjoys spending her time pet sitting and exploring Disneyland, always ready to bring that joy back to the studio.
Elise

Elise

Elise moved to Los Angeles for college and graduated with a degree in public health in May 2024. She's originally from San Antonio, Texas, where she discovered Lagree. It was the first workout class she truly fell in love with because it's challenging, promotes growth, and is always new, without being overwhelming like other group fitness classes can be. When she discovered Lagree 213 during her college years, her passion for the method and the studio inspired her to become a certified instructor with 213. In the next few years, Elise plans to attend PA school to become a Physician's Assistant. She's passionate about creating a supportive and motivating community and loves sharing the positive effects of Lagree with her clients.
Erin

Erin

Erin is Boston born and bred, but moved to the West Coast seeking a fresh start and a healthy, active lifestyle. Having bounced between a number of fitness methods and never finding a perfect fit, she discovered Lagree and finally found the high intensity, low impact workout that she was looking for. It didn’t take long for her to realize she wanted to get certified and share this transformative method with others. Erin is committed to helping students practice proper form and tune into the mind-to-muscle connection in order to become their strongest, most confident selves. Whether you're new to Lagree or a seasoned pro, expect a high energy, motivational class that will keep you coming back for more.
Isabel

Isabel

Isabel is an LA native who discovered her love for the Lagree Method at Lagree213 Hill St! After taking over 100 classes, she took the leap to get certified to teach. Now a few years later, she’s back where her Lagree journey began in hopes to help others achieve their fitness and wellness goals. Her favorite moves are Runners Lunge and Elevator Lunge because they bring on the shakes every time!
Melissa

Melissa

Melissa was introduced to Lagree by a friend, and her life is forever changed because of it. She loved Lagree right off the bat, but began to develop a deep appreciation for it after seeing how her physical strength improved with the Lagree method. Melissa loves to deliver a positive impact to others just as Lagree impacted her own. Melissa received her Lagree instructor certification through Lagree213’s program, with Kayla and Lagree master trainer Lisa G. She is committed to continuously learning and working on improving her utilization of the Lagree method to enhance her classes. An advocate for all things health and fitness, Melissa is completing her degree in nursing. She loves to train in the gym, run, and go on beach walks and hikes, and spending time with family.
Michael S

Michael S

It was 2018, and Michael was innocent; he had never experienced Lagree before. He walked into the studio feeling confident and capable, until then the instructor led him to a contraption that looked like something out of a science fiction movie. “This is going to be fun!” the instructor told Michael. She was wrong. Michael was led through a series of exercises that were designed to torture every muscle in his body. It was borderline kinky. He was glad the music was so loud because he was actually moaning. Never had he been physically challenged this much. But once class was over? He understood the hype. Nothing else has proved as mentally gratifying as Lagree. He is so excited to share the experience with you .
Natalee

Natalee

Natalee is a Level 2 Lagree Trainer, hailing from Tampa, FL and has been in Los Angeles for over 15 years. She regularly attended Pilates for 10 years before she came upon the Lagree Method back in 2017. After Covid in 2019 a lot of her favorite instructors moved out of state and she felt she was the next one to take the plunge and become a Lagree instructor. Finding a passion for the method and a knack for form, she’s there to help you push through those mental challenges and achieve the goals you want to attain for your Lagree journey. When she’s not teaching you can find her on her motorcycle roaming beautiful California.
