With an MBA from Seattle University, an advanced certification for both weight training and Pilates, and over 18 years of professional experience in numerous aspects of health and fitness, SEBASTIEN LAGREE opened his PILATES PLUS STUDIO® in September of 2001. SEBASTIEN'S PILATES PLUS® quickly developed a loyal following including celebrities and top athletes. Sebastien created SYSTEME DYNAMIQUE™ in April 2005. Sebastien, by incorporating the key principles of core stability and blending them with fusion of muscle dynamics, has created the next evolution in physical fitness. The method, simply put, is the most innovative and aggressive approach to full body conditioning. Moving effectively out of the borders of conditioned stimulus, this Systeme Dynamique™ integrates the key elements of resistance and counter resistance in a sequence that allows for periods of zero gravity at peak muscle contraction. The composition of this method is significant in that it encourages maximum exertion, while allowing for a low risk of injury. This sequence also promotes flexibility and elasticity. The client, at conclusion, is left with a lithe and powerful body resistant to the everyday stresses of work and life. The PROFORMER™ was introduced in January 2006. The Proformer, designed by Sebastien, is based on the traditional Reformer but is specially engineered for the SYSTEME DYNAMIQUE CERTIFICATION PROGRAM. Finally, in Spring 2008, the new and improved Proformer SPX has arrived. The PROFORMER SPX is designed for a higher intensity/quicker workout.
