where movement meets community.
Local is more than a place to move. It’s a place to belong.
Our Story.
Local was born from a simple idea: that movement is more meaningful when it’s shared.
The inspiration came from experiencing Lagree Fitness in studios across the country. The workout was unmatched—low-impact yet high-intensity, pushing both body and mind to new levels. But beyond the burn, what stood out most was the community: strangers cheering each other on, the collective energy of moving side by side, and the reminder that strength grows deeper when it’s built together.
When the journey led to St. Petersburg, it became clear that something was missing. Downtown needed a space where this method—and this kind of community—could thrive. A place that was more than just a workout studio. A place rooted in connection, where neighbors could meet, move, and grow stronger together.
With that vision, Local was founded and the mission was set: transform lives, cultivate community, and inspire wellness.
Today, Local isn’t just a studio—it’s a gathering place. A place where movement sparks connection, where the shake leads to strength, and where everyone who walks through the door becomes part of the story.
Our Method.
At Local, every class is powered by the Lagree Method—a fitness approach built on the principles of slow, controlled, and intentional movement. Unlike traditional workouts that rely on momentum or heavy impact, Lagree focuses on time under tension to strengthen and sculpt the body in a safe yet incredibly effective way. The result is a full-body workout that builds muscular strength, endurance, balance, and flexibility—all in just 50 minutes.
The method comes to life on the Megaformer, Lagree’s signature machine. With its spring-based resistance and unique design, the Megaformer challenges every muscle group through constant engagement and minimal rest. Every movement is purposeful: slow pace, and precise form that will have your muscles shaking within minutes.
The combination of the Lagree Method and the Megaformer delivers a workout unlike any other: low-impact but high-intensity, mindful but powerful, and transformative in every sense.
Our Mission.
Our mission is simple: to transform lives, cultivate community, and inspire wellness.
We believe fitness is about more than physical strength—it’s about building confidence, resilience, and meaningful connections. Every class on the Megaformer is designed not only to challenge the body, but also to remind us of the power of moving with intention and moving together.
Our commitment is to create a space where every person feels welcomed, supported, and inspired to grow—inside and outside the studio. Through movement, we aim to spark connection, nurture wellness, and strengthen the community we call home.
