The Experience
Elevate Training brings Lagree to a convenient local spots around San Diego Country, all about getting down to business. When you walk in, you'll notice the studio (we visited Clairmont Mesa) lets the workout speak for itself. Check-in is efficient, and you'll be ready to roll pretty quickly. The space is clean and functional, with everything you need to get through a challenging 40-minute session. It's not drowning in amenities, but the essentials are covered: secure storage for your stuff, filtered water on tap, and equipment that's clearly been cared for.
Lauren brought great energy to her Full Body class, and you can tell she knows her stuff. Her cues are clear and make sense anatomically, which matters when you're shaking through slow, controlled movements on the Megaformer. The class flows with intention; there's a real structure to how she builds the session, and the playlist keeps you moving without being distracting. If you're new to Lagree, you might want a bit more hand-holding on modifications, but experienced participants will appreciate being able to focus and push themselves. The workout absolutely delivers on what it promises, and you'll feel it the next day (in the best way).
This is a come-in, work-hard, head-out kind of vibe. You won't find a ton of lingering or community mingling, but some people prefer exactly that—show up, crush it, and get on with your day.
What Makes Them Special
What Elevate does really well is make Lagree accessible in a neighborhood setting without overcomplicating things. There's something refreshing about a studio that doesn't try to be everything to everyone—they know what they're good at (solid Lagree instruction) and they stick to it. The equipment is well-maintained, the space is kept clean, and the teaching is competent and clear. For people who already love the Lagree method and want a reliable spot close to home, this hits the mark.
The experience is definitely more independent than community-driven, which works perfectly for self-motivated exercisers who just want a good workout without a lot of extra fanfare. There's opportunity here for more personal touches and follow-up, but if you're the type who prefers a straightforward fitness transaction, you'll appreciate the no-pressure approach.

Ali brings good energy to the Full Body Lagree class and clearly knows her stuff. Her cues are clear and anatomically sound, which matters when you're shaking through slow, controlled movements. The class has a solid structure with intentional progression, and the 45-minute format gives you enough time to really work without overstaying. The facilities are impeccably clean—like, noticeably clean—and they've got the essentials dialed in: secure storage, filtered water readily available, and equipment that's been cared for. The workout space is appropriately sized and the temperature is perfectly regulated for the intensity.
What stood out is how they handle first-timers from a practical standpoint. Ali identified me as new before class, explained modifications clearly, and made sure I understood the equipment setup. It's not overly social or community-driven, but you do feel included in the class and given the information you need to succeed.
