Now that I've taken over 100 classes at Studio 45, I can confidently say I absolutely love this studio. The workouts are challenging in the best way, and every class leaves me feeling stronger and energized. The instructors are amazing, motivating, knowledgeable, and genuinely supportive. The vibe is welcoming, friendly, and community-focused, and you can truly tell they care about their members. Studio 45 has become one of my favorite parts of my routine, and I'd highly recommend it to anyone interested in Lagree. read more

Studio 45 - Pilates Near Me - Portland, Oregon

I took my first few Lagree classes in Colorado earlier this year and absolutely fell in love with the workout. Since moving to Portland, I've been searching for a studio that offers Lagree and was excited to find this one, especially since it's only five minutes from my workplace. I attended my second class at this studio today (Friday, May 29, at 11:00 a.m.), and unfortunately, the experience left me feeling disappointed. When I arrived, I said hello to the instructor, but she didn't acknowledge me. I assumed she may not have heard me and didn't think much of it. During class, she corrected my form, and I was doing my best to follow her guidance. However, she seemed to become frustrated and abruptly told me to "forget it" before moving on. The interaction drew attention from the person next to me, who laughed, which felt embarrassing and discouraging. As I left, I said goodbye and again received no acknowledgment. What made this especially disappointing is how much I genuinely enjoy Lagree and how excited I was to find a studio that fit so well into my schedule. I've taken countless group fitness classes over the years--including cycling, Pilates, yoga, barre, Barry's, and Orangetheory--and one of the things I value most is the sense of community and encouragement these environments typically create. In all that time, I've never had an experience quite like this. The workout itself was great, and the location is incredibly convenient, but the overall atmosphere felt unwelcoming and, at times, exclusionary. I'm genuinely disappointed because I had hoped this would become my regular studio. I love Lagree, but not enough to feel anxious about attending class. read more

amazing result in such a short amount of time. I love all the teachers and phenomenal workout. read more

This place is amazing! I am new to Pilates and the reformer and they were so patient on my first class. I am only a few in and already feel myself getting so much stronger. I can't wait to see where this takes me! read more

I tried this studio while being completely new to Pilates. Every class is challenging but the instructors are amazing at making sure you're doing it to your full potential! read more

The studio is super clean, full of positive energy, and supportive. The small class sizes mean you're always getting corrections and tips to avoid injury and to maximize the impact of every workout. Definitely worth a try if you're curious about resistance training, pilates, or general strength. read more

This studio is great! I've been to several classes here with different instructors and all have been very welcoming and provided a great experience. I love that they mix up the sequences to keep things interesting and really enjoy the pace of the classes plus you get an amazing workout. The instructors make sure to give personalized attention to each student while making the whole class feel united. Definitely one of the best studios I've been to for this format - highly recommend! read more

I love Studio 45! The workouts are tough but so rewarding, and the instructors really take the time to help you with your form. The studio feels clean, welcoming, and energetic, and every class leaves me feeling stronger. read more

I really love this studio. I love how inclusive it is - and also how difficult the classes are. I love how they push you but also give full permission to go at your own pace. I also notice a huge difference in my body with this work out. It never gets easy but Its always worth It. read more

I did the 2 week unlimited and it was a very welcoming atmosphere. Coaches are very friendly and provide tips to correct your form. It is also very low impact which was exactly what I was looking for as I had been experiencing lower back pain. Studio45 was was perfect to keep myself working out without further straining my back. read more

great classes and teachers are very on point about form! class was super hard but I am definitely getting so much stronger- will def be back :) read more

This space's conversion into Studio 45 was a bit loss. The instructors do their best but there is an atmosphere of unhappiness that permeates. Prices way up, classes less accessible, more emphasis put on image and "brand" than on fitness. Compared to this place's previous incarnation (which for its faults--especially an owner/instructor who only had two modes, ludicrous screaming and condescending "encouragement"--was a great place to exercise), Studio 45 is a poor comparison. Some of the instructors stayed on and they are great and they are the only reason I come back sometimes, because those instructors (who are not all of the instructors to be sure--there are also certainly duds!) give it their best and make it as fun as can be had here. It may look like a shiny, sleek, efficient multi-city gym that wants to compete with the other fad fitness factories with their "signature" mono-colored atmosphere, or gimmicky candle lighting, or athleisure lifestyle exercise for the post-capitalist, America-in-decline yuppie, but really it's a just a drag with a slapdash veneer still not yet dried. read more

I cannot get over how killer this workout & studio are! I was in Portland for a month and did the two-week unlimited classes trial. Even when I told the instructors that I will just be able to do the classes for two week since I'll be leaving Portland they were still very kind! In Los Angeles, I've had people dismiss me if I said I didn't live close to their studio. I had done a couple reformer classes before but this was by far the best! This is undoubtedly a full body workout. I was nice and sore the next couple of days after class so I think I would definitely see results if I did this workout consistently. Fun music, attentive (which I really really appreciate), encouraging instructors, and lots of mirrors which are helpful to check your form. Super shout out to Natalie who was encouraging through the burn and had the best contagious energy! If you are lucky enough to live close to this studio, do not hesitate and go! read more

This was my first time doing pilates and it changed my life. I know everyone says that but it truly made me feel stronger and the instructors are so kind and wonderful read more

After a friend invited me to join a class here, I was very scared and intimidated but it turned out to be one of my best workout studio experiences! The instructors Chelsea and Amanda are so enthusiastic, caring and motivated bad ass women I've ever met. I'm sure the whole team resembles those characteristics. They always make sure that you are doing what you can for yourself and help you every step of they way, whether it be from helping you improve your form or modifying it ! The studio has such a bad ass and clean feeling vibe that I cannot explain! The class honestly feels like a quick 20min workout even though it's 45mins. Strongly recommend them!! read more

Studio 45 - Pilates Near Me - Portland, Oregon

This place is under new ownership and is not at all like Megaburn so any reviews about Megaburn does not reflect what this place currently is. The workout is so mellow and the prices are way more expensive. I used to love the intensity of doing a pilates class but sadly this is not it. I will give it another chance, but very much disappointed in the changes. read more

The ladies at MegaBurn entered my fitness life as warrior goddesses and led my body to next level physical fitness in 9 months. Deepest of gratitude to Carolyn, Chelsea, Chelsea, Amy, Kayla and Amanda! read more

There are no words to describe how sore you will be the day after your first Lagree class at MegaBurn.... This is the toning, sculpting, calorie burning workout you don't want to miss. Lagree Fitness is a slow, methodic workout inspired by pilates that will put your whole body to the test. This studio is one big photo opp'. The MegaBurn team obviously paid loads of attention to all of the details when they created this space. This is a fitness family you'll feel good about belonging to. read more

MegaBurn is home away from home. I am pushed to work my hardest, but with a community that supports me, encourages me, and makes me want to show up for myself! I feel challenged in every class, but leave feeling so much better than before. I love love love this place so much! The instructors, the members, and the energy are addicting! You will feel welcome, cared for, and inspired! You will LOVE it! read more

BEST Fitness studio I have ever gone to. Teachers are knowledgeable, inspiring and deeply kind. Absolutely everyone who walks through their door will be welcomed with genuine kindness. I'm very picky with group classes and almost always don't like them. I was shocked at how much I loved these classes. Nothing has ever built my strength this efficiently and in a way that is so much fun that as soon as class is over, I'm looking forward to coming back the next day. Pilates based strength training, such a brilliant concept!!! Does not matter your age, size, abilities, race, preferences or beliefs; Everyone is included here and I promise you'll feel it when you walk through the door. read more

Studio 45 - Gained 10 pounds of muscle & lost 20 pounds of fat ! - Pilates Near Me - Portland, Oregon

I took my first pilates class with megaburn and I was hooked!! The second time I was greeted by name with a warm welcome and a hug! Everyone makes you feel so at home! The instructors are some of the most bad ass women I have had the pleasure of meeting! I've never felt stronger than with their words of encouragement. And you always wall out shaking in the best way!! read more

This is the best workout in the city taught by the most amazing instructors! Every class is super challenging and pushes me to my limit every single time. If you haven't tried the Lagree Method before, fear not! All of the instructors are super welcoming and attentive and will help you with the various exercises. And, come on, this new Division studio is absolutely gorgeous! Even though this workout will completely kick your butt, it's for any and all fitness levels. There are always modifications based on your fitness level and how you're feeling that day. I highly, HIGHLY recommend this studio to everyone! Side note: I've done this workout through 2 pregnancies and all of the instructors I've taken classes from are really knowledgeable on prenatal and postpartum exercise! Get your booty to Megaburn!! You won't regret it! read more

MegaBurn is simultaneously the hardest workout in Portland and the most welcoming community, a unique combo that makes for the best time, every time. All of the teachers will learn your name and your strengths/weaknesses, past injuries/concerns and will remember you and help you make correct modifications for the rest of the classes you come to. Every single teacher is incredible and so knowledgeable of the body. They cue with so much intention and even during Covid when they stay in their little teacher's box, they can cue the person on the furthest lagree from them to make a subtle change to their body position to ensure proper form and best burn. This workout is hard af and leaves you sore and seeing changes in your body quickly. Come for the workout, stay for the community! read more

A long overdue review for an amazing fitness studio. I did Solidcore on the east coast for a few years so was looking for something comparable to that. I tried Firebrand and didn't feel like their classes were very challenging (and it was major mean-girl cliquey vibes, byeee). Finally MegaBurn came to Portland and I tried it immediately and loved it. The studio is beautiful, the machines are awesome, so many class options, and a challenging workout. But most of all - THE COMMUNITY! What an amazing group of instructors who invest the time and effort with all of their clients. They're constantly cheering you on both in and outside of the studio. I feel so supported by all of the amazing coaches - they know everyones names, they understand their goals and abilities and cater to individuals to support and challenge them. All of the coaches are incredible but a special shoutout to my faves: Amy! Chelsea! Chelsea! Carolyn! Emily! Taking some extra time away during COVID but I hear that they're running a clean, tight ship with the reopening. I'll be back, boss ladies! read more

I absolutely love this place. The Chelseas are absolutely amazing along with Amanda,Janelle and Amy. I am never made to feel body shamed and instead they push me to my limits. I cannot wait to be back! read more

Probably one of the best workouts in town, with a super motivational crew. The space is clean and inviting and so beautiful. Can't wait to try out some of the new instructors. read more

I started Megaburn last October, 5 months after the birth of my second baby and needed some serious core and stability help after feeling so weak! I started privates with Carolynn and was taking weekly classes in no time. I've never been to a studio that feels so inclusive, so supportive and empowering EVER in my 10 years in Portland. These ladies have done an incredible job keeping everyone safe during COVID-19 and adapted so well. Short story - try Megaburn if you want to feel strong, empowered and part of an amazing community! read more

It says a lot about a studio when instructors from a different, similar establishment are working out there! Legree is a wicked workout - slow twitch movement fighting resistance from springs. The Tanesborne location does some targeted workouts (e.g., Arms and Abs) but this location, for now, does exclusively full body with an emphasis on legs and glutes, but you'll get plenty of core and dreaded oblique work in too, with a little arm and upper body work added in too. The space is very clean, bright and welcoming, you're always greeted by staff upon entering. The instructors are all highly trained and knowledgeable, having to take a large number of classes themselves before teaching and unlike another studio I've done Lagree with the MegaBurn instructors make hands-on corrections to my form to prevent injury and increase the effectiveness of the different exercises. read more

This studio! These instructors! The workouts! Amazing routines, support, music and community. The instructors are so encouraging, motivational and knowledgeable. Everyone can do this 45 minute workout regardless of age or fitness level. The routines constantly challenge you and improve your strength both physically and mentally. Great location with plenty of parking and a variety of places to grab a bite to eat. After one class you will be hooked! The day I tried my first class, I knew I had found THE workout I had been searching for. read more

I grew up playing basketball and was very comfortable with crossfit type workouts. I never thought I'd one day be converted to a Pilates club member. I went to one workout with a friend and was instantly hooked. It's hard not to become a fan of MegaBurn when you are coached by such an inspiring group of women. Carolynn and Chelsea are the best! They are the most caring group of hustlers who took the best care of me before, through out, and after my pregnancy. Their workouts are no joke, but leave you feeling confident and strong :) Check them out, you won't be disappointed! read more

I am so thankful for this workout. It has made me a stronger person both physically and mentally. I now consider it to be an essential part of my self care and have committed to attending regular classes. I always walk away feeling stronger and more calm after every class. The instructors and the space are truly unmatched. Do yourself a favor and sign up. You will not regret it. read more

I literally stopped in my tracks when I walked past MegaBurn on Division- I'd been wanting to return to Lagree classes in a more convenient location and suddenly here one was. I did a drop-in with Amanda on a Tuesday and she was as helpful, genuinely supportive and enthusiastic (without actually yelling, a pet peeve of mine personally) as they come. She came by and adjusted my form a few times during the class to help me get the most out of each move and to ensure I didn't hurt myself. Since I personally wasn't new to the machines and names of the moves we didn't need to go over them prior to class, but a new student definitely would receive that support and overview to prevent injuries. Lagree machines are the cream of the crop for resistance workouts. The beauty of them is that doing **anything** is going to be a workout, and you personally get to determine the level of intensity for each move and series. Amanda buoyed my confidence and assured me I'd remember my form from my earlier other studio experiences, and her unflagging enthusiasm throughout the 45 minutes kept me going- now I'm ready to attend more! I'm so excited to see a Lagree studio in inner SE. Thank you, MegaBurn and Amanda particularly. You are a gem of an instructor! read more

OMG I have done Pilates Reformer for a while but once I found MegaBurn I felt like I waisted all of those previous years. Never have a ever been so sore in my life. AND these ladies are amazing. They are great instructors and the vibe is on point. So warm so welcoming. After each class I can not only feel my strength growing but also my mind bc these instructors really thrive to build you up to take on the rest of your day/week! MegaBurn for life! read more

You have GOT to try this class! The machines may look intimidating, but please don't be fooled. :) The moment you step into this bright, clean space you will feel so welcome by the instructors who are all endlessly caring and inspiring. Now that you're in the door and on a machine, what can you expect? An extremely doable challenge. Any fitness level can do this class, and any fitness level will be challenged by it. There's nothing like this class, this studio, and these instructors. Check it out!!! read more

I did my first Lagree class a year ago in Asheville, NC and fell madly, hopelessly in love with this form of movement. Lagree isn't just personal level training on a $10,000 machine. It's a community. When I moved to Portland, I thought, "I'm never going to find something as good as my old studio," but I'll try and find something just to move my body. After moving across the country, lonely as hell, I remember walking out of my first MegaBurn class and thinking, "Oh, thank God. I found my people again." Lagree is expensive; it's true - but I can't think of anything more worth the money than this studio. Not only is your body paid more individualized attention than (in my experience) a trainer, not only will it transform your body and alleviate your back pain and build your core and tone you so much you'll have to buy smaller jeans in two months, but MegaBurn will lift your spirit. The women who teach there aren't just knowledgeable, experienced, compassionate humans; they genuinely care about each and every one of their students. The owner responds to my emails personally, bending over backwards to make me feel supported and does whatever she can to put her students and people first. This place is magic and these women are full of grit, badassery, and the kind of strength that doesn't just come from a minute long plank hold (lookin' at you, Amanda - those kill me). Go get on a mega. You'll see. read more
