Boutique fitness studio Urban Lagree is excited to announce it will be opening its first San Antonio location next month. The studio focuses on workouts that promote core stability, cardio endurance, and high-intensity strength training. Urban Lagree will open in central San Antonio at 3910 McCullough Avenue in Olmos Park on Monday, June 10, 2024. (Urban Lagree, 2024)

To celebrate its San Antonio opening, Urban Lagree will host a free Open House event at the studio on Saturday, June 15 from 11a.m. to 1p.m. where guests can stop by and learn more about the Lagree Fitness method. The event will feature health and wellness vendors, giveaways, music by a local DJ, and more.

Urban Lagree offers the popular Lagree Fitness method, a high intensity, low impact workout focused on muscular endurance using a specialized machine called the Megaformer. The Lagree method was started in 1998 by Sebastien Lagree and is a workout that continues to grow globally. It is a celebrity workout that has been adopted by Jennifer Aniston, Kim Kardashian, and many more. Urban Lagree will be the first studio in San Antonio to offer Lagree classes instructed on the latest Megaformer – the Mega Pro – a streamlined version of its predecessor now including tilting platforms.

“We are thrilled to bring Urban Lagree to San Antonio. Nothing can beat the Lagree method when it comes to toning and shaping your body. We look forward to sharing this strength training workout with this new community.” – Lagree Fitness Trainers and Co-Owners Katie Hayes and Abigayle Rosser

Lagree Fitness is the only workout that effectively combines Strength, Endurance, Cardio, Core, Body Stability, and Flexibility in every class. The resistance training targets the slow twitch muscles of the legs, arms, obliques, and core to provide a full body workout. Every move is performed slowly and against constant tension which activates metabolism, and burns fat and calories.

Urban Lagree is a workout meant for everyone. The studio focuses on building a fitness community by delivering consistent workouts that are accessible to all. Whether clients are recovering from injury, taking their fitness goal to the next level, or simply needing a change, Urban Lagree is designed to help. The studio offers a workout that will tone and shape the body by focusing on improving overall strength, endurance, and core stability.

Urban Lagree’s San Antonio location will feature a mural by local artist Joseph Ramey as well as all-new Mega Pro machines that are designed with increased ergonomic capabilities that ensure the client experiences a more targeted workout.

To celebrate its San Antonio launch, Urban Lagree will be offering a limited quantity of Founding Membership that includes unlimited classes for $165 a month as well as a limited 10-Pack class for $175 – there will also be other membership options and drop in rates ($30 per class). Pre-sale for the San Antonio location is now available and clients can view all membership options and rates here.  

For the first month following Urban Lagree’s opening, the studio will solely offer its signature 45-minute Full Body workout. In the following months, Urban Lagree will also begin offering classes for the advanced fitness enthusiast, the beginner, private classes, and studio buyouts that can accommodate parties of up to 12. A full list of classes with specifics on the workouts is available here. 

Urban Lagree is owned and led by Lagree fitness trainers Abigayle Rosser and Katie Hayes. The pair also own two Urban Lagree fitness studios in Austin and will soon open a third location in South Austin. Rosser and Hayes are dedicated to creating a fitness community that promotes both physical and mental well-being. Urban Lagree San Antonio will offer classes seven days a week.

Pearl announces January programming

pearlfitnessinpark
Fitness classes are just one series of events taking place at Pearl in 2020. Photo: Pearl, used with permission.

For 2020, Pearl is excited to announce Thinking & Drinking at Pearl—the newest offering in the array of amazing programming already hosted throughout the year. In addition, Pearl will bring back free weekly fitness sessions open to the public to begin the first week in January and continue into the warmer months. (Pearl, 2019)

Thinking & Drinking at Pearl
Join us for a series of philosophical conversations about music. Why do we listen to sad songs if they make us sad? Should Bob Dylan have been eligible for the Nobel Prize in Literature? If an improvisation is made up on the spot, how can we expect it to sound good? These are just a few philosophical questions about music—fundamental conceptual questions raised by the way we make and listen to music. Led by Trinity University professor Dr. Andrew Kania, guests will get a chance to think through some of these issues out loud—helped along by libations from the best of the Pearl’s drinking establishments. Each session is capped at 15 participants and includes two beverages. Tickets available online.

    • Wednesday, January 15 at 6p.m. – High Street Wine Co.
      Sad Songs Say So Much: Music and Emotion – If music is just sounds, how can it be happy or sad? What is the significance of our emotional responses to music? And why do we listen to sad music if it makes us sad?
    • Wednesday, January 22 at 6p.m. – Southerleigh
      Strange Sounds: What is Music, Anyway? – Musicians seem to be able to incorporate just about any sounds into their compositions. But what makes those sounds music? How can one note be higher than another? What can the musical experiences of deaf people tell us about music?
    • Wednesday, January 29 at 8p.m. – Jazz, TX
      Making Music: Performance, Improvisation and Recording – What is the difference between being overheard making music and performing for an audience? Are recordings just that – records of performances – or are they an art form in their own right? What makes a performance an improvisation? This conversation is followed by a live performance.

Pearl is thrilled to continue free community workout classes led by local fitness providers weekly on Tuesday evenings beginning in 2020. Throughout the year, partners will include Pilates Platinum, Smart Barre, Nomadik Yoga, Zumba with Mau Garcia and Joy Ride.

    • Tuesday, January 7   | Pilates Platinum | 5:30p.m. | Pearl Park
    • Tuesday, January 14 | Pilates Platinum |  5:30p.m. | Pearl Park
    • Tuesday, January 21 | Pilates Platinum |  5:30p.m. | Pearl Park
    • Tuesday, January 28 | Pilates Platinum |  5:30p.m. | Pearl Park

“Pearl is dedicated to bringing San Antonians and visitors together through compelling, dynamic events. The thoughtful 2020 programming will help everyone start the new year off right and further enhance Pearl’s offerings.” – Elizabeth Fauerso, chief marketing officer, Pearl

Camp Gladiator, one of America’s fastest growing fitness companies, is proud to announce a series of free, open-to-the-public stadium takeover events this August in celebration of its tenth anniversary. With the motto “Changing Fitness, Changing Lives,” these fitness events will take place in Austin, Corpus Christi, Dallas/Fort Worth, Houston, Lubbock, San Antonio, and Waco, Texas; as well as in Charlotte, North Carolina; Raleigh, New Carolina; Shreveport, Louisiana; Denver, Colorado; Orlando, Florida; Tampa, Florida; and Nashville, Tennessee. The stadium take-over in San Antonio will take place on Saturday August 18 from 7a.m. to 1p.m. at the Alamodome. (Camp Gladiator, 2018)

Founded in 2008 in Dallas, Texas, by Ally and Jeff Davidson, Camp Gladiator is a movement dedicated to transforming lives through dynamic, fun and challenging outdoor group workouts led by talented trainers who inspire campers to discover their best selves. To celebrate its ten-year anniversary, Camp Gladiator is creating the camp experience on a grand scale by providing the rare experience of working out on the grounds of notable large stadiums in each city for a day of outdoor fitness fun. Since its humble beginning, Camp Gladiator has grown to over 80,000 campers with over 900 trainers across 350 cities. In its tenth year, Camp Gladiator is entering new markets as its pattern of rapid growth continues. Most recently, the company announced plans to expand to Jacksonville, Florida, in January 2019.

The stadium takeover days offer a social, hangout space for guests to have fun and get to know what Camp Gladiator is about. The events feature food, retail, and fitness vendors and other fitness activities such as a slamball slam contest and a battle rope station. Each city event has an Eventbrite page to RSVP and an RSVP is required to attend the free event. The events are open to all ages and all fitness levels. Attendees under 14 years old must have a parent present to attend. All campers will be provided with online waiver forms with their RSVP. Guests are asked to wear athletic clothing.

The Camp Gladiator stadium takeover events start on August 11 in Austin, Texas, and continue in cities across the nation on August 18 and August 25. The day is programmed around a free, CG trainer-led group workout. Attendees can sign up as a spectator or a competitor. The events will either be a “Dash” event where the participants will be released in waves to run between 10 workout stations held throughout the stadium or a “Mega Workout” where participants will complete the 10 workout stations as a large community workout. Dash events are held inside the stadiums are 2 to 3 miles long. Mega Workout events are 60 to 90 minutes long and are held on the stadium grounds or in stadium parking lots.

Both the Dash and Mega Workouts are full-body workouts that combine strength and cardio exercises designed to challenge campers of all fitness levels and ages. The workout is based off the CG camp experience which focuses on endurance, strength, agility, and interval training suitable for all fitness levels. Camp Gladiator provides an encouraging community to inspire greatness and a competitive spirit in each camper.

“We are really beyond excited to be celebrating 10 amazing years of Camp Gladiator and the impact made on hundreds of thousands of campers across the nation. We can’t wait to host our loyal campers and everyone in our amazing communities that have supported us through the years at stadiums across the nation.” Ally Davidson, Camp Gladiator founder and CEO.
