We Tried It

Does ‘Hollywood’s hottest workout’ live up to the hype? We investigate. K-Kore by Lagree Fitness

WHO TRIED IT: Mikaila Kukurudza, Editorial Contributor and Fitness Enthusiast

WHAT IT IS: A no-impact (but crazy intense) Pilatesstyle class using the Megaformer™ (a $10,000 machine) to lengthen and strengthen every muscle through controlled resistance movements.

LOCATION: Port Melbourne. COST: $$$$ A single class will set you back $36, but purchasing a class package of 20 lowers the price to $23 per class.

SWEAT RATING: You’ll definitely break a sweat, but nothing a little dry shampoo and deodorant can’t fix. S

DIFFICULTY RATING:

9.5/10

No matter your fitness level, prepare to be humbled.

CALORIE BURN: The 50-minute class can burn between 250-550 calories.

PROS

You’ll work muscles you are most likely missing in your regular fitness routine.

You’re moving quickly from one exercise to the next, so there’s a cardio element.

You can adjust your resistance to control the difficulty of your workout. CONS

Transitioning between positions can be confusing if you’re a newcomer.

Classes are small (based on the studio’s number of Megaformers), so you must book well in advance.

Muscles that I didn’t even know existed were shaking uncontrollably. I felt tight and toned for days after the workout and have already booked in again.”
