The Art of Intentions with Sebastien Lagree, Founder and CEO of Lagree Fitness
Sebastien Lagree approaches fitness the way an inventor approaches a system: nothing is ever finished.
With multiple patents and a method practiced around the world, his work is defined by constant iteration: testing, refining, and evolving in real time. But behind the scale and success is a mindset that’s far more personal: a belief that growth, whether physical or mental, only happens when you’re willing to challenge what’s familiar.
For Lagree, discipline isn’t about repetition; it’s about adaptation. It’s about knowing when something no longer works and having the willingness to change it.
In this conversation, he shares the thinking behind his evolution-driven approach, how he stays ahead of an ever-changing industry, and why he believes fitness can ultimately shape far more than the body.
For those discovering you for the first time, how do you describe what you do, and what you’ve built in your own words?
Lagree is a living method. The method is now on its 10th “instalment.” Officially, we are launching Lagree 2 and 3.0 this year, but the method has evolved many times before then. Lagree has always been and will always be a strength and endurance workout. That has not changed. What has evolved is the focus. We are now focused on moving by integration rather than exercising by isolation. We moved from core to integrated strength which reduces the inflammation that exercise can cause.
If someone is only doing one type of workout consistently, why would you argue it should be Lagree?
Lagree is a one stop shop. It addresses all the physiological needs. It is designed and it evolves for that purpose.
What’s one piece of advice you’d give to someone who feels stuck in their fitness routine?
You need to change the routine. That’s the only way. Many people resist change.
What does your own workout routine look like right now?
The routine has always been similar, but the sequences have evolved many times over the past 28 years. My sequences all use integrated movements vs concentrated moves.
What are you building toward next?
I am currently developing a new method to strengthen the mind through movement. The method will be done blindfolded using new technologies.
