Claudia Canales

Claudia is a Lagree Fitness Master Trainer certified at both Level 1 and Level 2. She founded Claudia Lagree, a platform devoted to developing the next generation of Lagree instructors through certification, mentorship, and career coaching.

Her approach is hands-on, technical, and deeply personal — the kind of training that doesn't just hand you a certificate, but builds a teacher.

Great instructors aren't just born — they're developed through intentional support, clear guidance, and ongoing education.

The certification is two full in-studio days (eight hours each, with breaks) followed by a required Zoom follow-up call after the in-person weekend. Total active training time is approximately sixteen in-studio hours plus the follow-up.
You'll learn the foundations of the Lagree method, how to write and sequence routines, and how to confidently lead a safe and effective class. Every exercise is broken down in detail — form, alignment, and recommended spring loads — and you'll have dedicated practice time to teach on your own and with the group.
No — it's optional. The $350 Mentorship Track is for students who want deeper one-on-one guidance, routine-writing support, and five full routine run-throughs in the studio for hands-on experience. Some students thrive without it; others want the extra reps.
There are no formal prerequisites. Prior Lagree experience helps the method click faster in your body, but it's not required — past cohorts have included students brand new to Lagree alongside long-time practitioners. If you're starting from zero, reach out and we'll help you ease in before the weekend.
Yes. This is an Official Lagree Fitness Inc. partner certification, recognized at over 600 licensed Lagree studios worldwide. Hiring decisions are made by individual studios, but your credential is universally accepted.
Yes — tuition can be split across four monthly payments of $550. Full payment-plan details are shared once you inquire.Yes — tuition can be split across four monthly payments of $575. Full payment-plan details are shared once you inquire.
The required Zoom call consolidates what you learned in the studio. We revisit the method, troubleshoot coaching questions that come up once you start teaching on your own, and finalize your certification path.
For most graduates, yes. A working Lagree instructor typically earns back tuition within their first months of teaching, and the credential opens doors well beyond classes — private training, studio ownership, mentorship, and career coaching. Most students view it as a career investment, not a class fee.
Yes. The program includes dedicated solo practice teaching and group teach-backs so you integrate the method by doing, not just observing. Students who add the Mentorship Track get five additional full-routine run-throughs for deeper reps.
Grip socks, workout attire you can move and teach in, a notebook and pen, and a laptop or tablet if you prefer digital notes. We provide the training manual, a Megaformer for every student, water, and snacks throughout both days.
