Amanda
Fitness and health has always been top priority in Amanda’s life. From kickboxing to cycling to yoga, she has taught it all… and loved most of it. But it wasn’t until after having her first child in 2010 that Amanda was looking for the quickest workout with the fastest results. Pilates on the reformer was a step in the right direction. But in 2011, she was introduced to SPX Fitness and the Megaformer Pilates Machine… and she was finally able to get the results she was looking for – long lean muscles, in hardly any time at all!
After getting certified by Sebastien Lagree, Amanda was ready to bring the Megaformer group classes to Dallas! When you take Amanda’s classes you will be getting the best workout in Dallas. With her positive attitude and uplifting reinforcements Amanda is there to help you reach your goals!
Brittany
 Growing up, Brittany struggled with her weight and self confidence, but sports and fitness were always an outlet for her. Brittany has involved herself in all types of sports and activities from gymnastics as a young child, track, volleyball, basketball in middle school, to softball throughout high school to keep her going strong. As she got older she transferred the love for fitness to running and yoga to maintain her well being. She takes healthy living very seriously having grown up with a diabetic father, and becoming more aware of the obesity epidemic in America.
Brittany is an Austinite at heart, as she recently moved to the Dallas area. The moment Brittany became involved in Lagree Fitness she fell in love with the entire program, so much that she decided to became a certified instructor to help others enjoy what she now loves, Lagree Fitness!
Brittany's class will not only be a place to become a more physically fit person, but will educate you on your overall well-being while having fun.
Tony
 Growing up near the ocean on the East Coast and moving to the Mid-West during high school, Tony was active in many sports. Being a champion wrestler, Judo player, and skateboarder, physical fitness has always been a way of life and a passion. After school Tony found himself, as many do in a struggle to find the time and motivation to stay active and make fitness a priority. After a traumatic snowboarding accident left his shoulder ligaments torn and weakened many exercises seemed to only worsen the problem and prolong his injury. The struggle to maintain a healthy, active lifestyle but continue to heal and rebuild his shoulder left many traditional exercises to be avoided.
After learning about Lagree Fitness and trying Pilates on the Megaformer machine, Tony finally found an exercise routine that was both challenging, low impact to his joints, and helped him achieve his goal of full recovery from his accident. He is now a certified Pilates instructor and joins the Ultimate Pilates Plano team. When Tony is not at the gym he enjoys spending time with his wife and three children. Come by Ultimate Pilates and let Tony share his passion for fitness with you!
Jenny
 Jenny spent many years working behind a computer as a programmer and practicing yoga, cycling with her husband, and relieving stress at the gym in her spare time. Her fitness routine was thrown into chaos by the birth of her two adorable children within the space of two years. Struggling to find the time to incorporate strength training and cardio into her days and weeks, she was introduced to the Megaformer by a friend and fell in love immediately - the workout made the most of her time and yielded the maximum effort! She also loves the familiarity of the moves from her background in yoga.
Jenny's passions for natural parenting, health and nutrition, green living, and conscientious consumerism are evident on her blog, Conscientious Confusion, and in her contributions to Dallas Moms Blog.
Iris
Iris’ story is a bit different from the typical fitness instructor. Riddled with chronic back pain that was only exacerbated by pregnancy, Iris struggled to maintain the level of health and fitness she desired. For years, every effort made to get fit ended with more back injuries, that left Iris stuck on the couch recovering for a week or more. Remembering how much she loved traditional mat Pilates during her “pre-baby days”, Iris cautiously agreed to try out a Megaformer class with her friend. The day after her very first class, Iris’ back was more comfortable than it had been in almost four years. She was sold! Although still fairly new to the science of Lagree Fitness, Iris serves as a walking testament to this amazing fitness regimen. Iris has a Bachelor of Arts from SMU in Corporate Communications, with a minor in Political Science. She and her family currently reside in Richardson.
Beverly
Beverly is an avid group fitness practitioner and instructor with a strong background in Pilates, weight/circuit training, and boot camp-style fitness programs. She is certified in the Lagree Fitness training method for the Megaformer and has advanced knowledge of the specially designed exercise programs in stabilization, breathing, alignment, and proper muscle recruitment as well as the modifications to maximize effectiveness for different body types and fitness levels.
Beverly fell in love with Lagree fitness and the Megaformer after her first class. She was amazed at the intensity, fluidity, and variety of the workout and how sore she was the next two days! As a trainer, her goal is to introduce this dynamic and efficient method to help her class achieve rapid results without spending hours at the gym.
Beverly has a Bachelor of Science degree from Texas A&M University in College Station and enjoys traveling the world in her spare time.
Rebecca
Ever since she was little Rebecca has been interested in fitness and nutrition. Watching her dad compete in running races as a young child inspired her to understand the importance of exercise at an early age. At age 16 she took up yoga for a spiritual adjunct to the running and swimming she already participated in at school. Finding more green ways of living to reduce our impact on mother earth has always been a big part of Rebecca's life as well. Fitness and superior nutrition play into the whole green concept of living because of the impact everyone's health has on the environment.
After having two children in less than two years, it was evident to Rebecca that walks weren't going to cut it and that she needed an advanced resistance workout to get her muscles back! That's when she fell in love with Lagree fitness. The Megaformer lets you get the body you want in just a short amount of time. She will inspire you to focus on the benefit you are receiving by making Lagree fitness part of your everyday life!
Rebecca has a Bachelors of Architecture degree from Texas Tech University and currently operates EcoMaids of North Dallas. She is working towards her architecture license in her spare time while enjoying the ever changing world of toddlerhood.
