Looking for a new challenge in your everyday life? Then Shapesty is the place for you. This newly opened boutique fitness studio is bringing the Lagree full-body workout trend, developed in Los Angeles, to Berlin-Mitte. You’ll be training on the so-called Megaformer machines. Megaformer? Sounds like a motto that could define 2024, doesn’t it? Megaformers are machines about the same size as a treadmill but much more versatile. Whether standing, kneeling, lying on your stomach, or on your back, the variety of exercises on these machines, consisting of two static platforms and the sled in the middle, is almost limitless. In addition to the core theme of “resistance”—working your muscles against steel springs—the focus is also on balance, requiring a strong core. Say hello to your abdominal muscles. Unlike other fitness classes, the exercise sequence at Lagree is not fixed but as varied as your muscle groups—whose existence you’ll be aware of once again after the workout.
So, at Shapesty, it means one machine, thousands of exercises, and in small groups. In each session of “high intensity and low impact training,” there are a maximum of eleven other people, ensuring personal support from the international team. All sessions are held in English, adding a bit of a Hollywood feel. If you incorporate the training regularly into your everyday life, you should see and feel the results. Now, you just have to decide whether you’re more of a package or subscription type, or whether you want to take it all in your stride first by trying out the New Client Special. And for that Hollywood feeling, private lessons are, of course, also available.
