Meet Markie
How long have you been coming to Lagree MT?
I’ve been coming to Lagree since January 2020!
(Editor’s Note: Since the very beginning 😲)
Why do you choose Lagree MT over another workout?
I choose Lagree because each workout is different, I am always so sore (which I love), and the instructors are amazing (especially my sweet cousin Chloe). There’s also a strong sense of community and so many friendly faces that I love seeing in class! I feel strong mentally and physically and Lagree never gets easier - only harder!
What is your favorite Lagree move?
My favorite move is so hard to pick because I love them all! My current favs are Bear and Runner’s Lunge because they kick my butt. And Standing Inner Thigh always gets the shakes going!
How has Lagree MT made a positive impact on your life?
I love Lagree because it’s such an intentional workout. I feel very present in class while getting a killer workout in 45 minutes. I move my body for my mental health as well as my physical health, and Lagree easily checks both of those boxes! Lagree has taught me better body awareness and body alignment, which translates over to literally everything in my life. I have better posture, and I feel like I have never had a strong core until I started going to Lagree consistently!
Fun Fact
Markie and her cousin, Chloe, own Funk It - a sustainable thrift store aimed at repurposing or recycling clothes and textiles that the community wants to donate. Together they love the dance of digging through clothes to find treasures. Their dream is to share the love for it, extend it to others, and to show what thrifting is - both sustainable and affordable. Join Funk It as they work towards our goal of reducing waste by reusing, repurposing and recycling - all while having fun.
