Gem + Tension will hold a grand opening for its new Lagree studio in Meridian, Idaho, on Saturday, November 14.1 The studio is at 4736 N Park Crossing Ave., Suite 140.2

Lagree is an exercise method created by Sebastien Lagree and done on spring-loaded machines, with very slow reps and sets that last at least a minute without rest.3 All of Gem + Tension’s classes use the same machine, the Mega Pro, with each format set to a different intensity and focus.2 Gem 101, for newcomers, covers the machine, foundational movements, spring changes and transitions at a more instructional pace.2 Lagree Signature is the studio’s full-body class of slow, controlled movement and time under tension.2 Lagree Advanced adds quicker transitions, longer holds and harder variations for clients who already know the machine.2
The studio describes itself as a Lagree studio “built for real bodies and real life” and is taking a waitlist that offers early access to booking and founding-member perks.2
