Lagree in Wicker Park.
Megaformer training in the heart of Wicker Park — slow, controlled, low-impact, and harder than it looks.
Resistance is a boutique Lagree studio on Milwaukee Avenue, in the heart of Wicker Park. Every 45-minute class is full-body, high-intensity, and easy on your joints — no jarring, no impact, just steady time under tension.
If you love Pilates, Lagree will feel familiar — then it will feel like more. The same core control and deliberate pace, carried onto the Megaformer with heavier resistance and a longer burn.

Wicker Park Commons is the complex with Lowe's and Jewel. Park by T-Mobile and take the walkway to our entrance on Milwaukee Avenue.
Is Lagree the same as Pilates?
Not quite. Lagree grew out of Pilates principles — core control, slow tempo, constant tension — then evolved onto the Megaformer, a spring-loaded machine. Expect heavier resistance and higher intensity than a classic Pilates mat or reformer class, yet the same low-impact, joint-friendly movement. If you love Pilates, Lagree will feel familiar, then feel like more.
Do I need experience to start?
None at all. Every class welcomes first-timers, and our instructors scale each move to your level. Arrive ten minutes early and we'll walk you through the Megaformer before we begin. You set the resistance and the pace, so the work stays challenging whether it's your first class or your hundredth.
What should I wear and bring?
Wear fitted athletic clothing you can move freely in, and bring a water bottle. Socks are required. Grip socks are encouraged and available for purchase at the studio. That's everything you need; we provide the rest for class.
Where do I park?
Free parking is available in the Wicker Park Commons lot. The lot is video monitored by a third-party security company, which may tow your vehicle if you leave Wicker Park Commons—even before or after a booked class. Resistance has no control over towing and receives no advance warning. Please stay on the premises while your vehicle is parked in the lot.
