Our goal is for SculptHouse to be a safe space for pregnant and postnatal women to work out and also get a mental escape.
This page can serve as your guide for how to approach SculptHouse classes during this transitional time.
Please note: SculptHouse instructors each go through considerable pre/postnatal training in order to guide these clients in a group setting, but are not experts in this specialty. We aim for our instructors to assist with understanding best practices approaching Lagree Fitness workouts during the pre/postnatal period, but ask that you consult your doctor on your individual medical needs.
Lagree Fitness + Pre/Postnatal
- The Lagree Fitness Method is a great workout for pre and post natal women looking to stay healthy and fit if they have done the workout prior to pregnancy
- We do not suggest that people start Lagree for the first time when they are pregnant or right after
- Lagree Fitness is a slow paced but high-intensity workout that is very core focused - it is not the same thing as Pilates!
- There are modifications and variations to support pre/postnatal clients but it is very important that they already have a familiarity with the machine, method and the moves in order to be able to easily apply the modifications
- Our CardioSculpt class is our suggested class for the pre/postnatal customer due to more simplified megaformer programming (25 minutes vs 50) and the need for cardio activity during and after pregnancy

During my pregnancy, the SculptHouse team has been a tremendous support, guiding me through classes with care and expertise. Navigating fitness during pregnancy can be overwhelming, but the instructors at SculptHouse have made me feel confident every step of the way. Their knowledge and encouragement have been invaluable, allowing me to safely maintain my health and strength during this special time. I feel fortunate to have found such an incredible Lagree studio in Dallas.
