Handsome, charming, controversial and engaging, Sebastien Lagree is a fascinating subject to interview. He has appeared numerous times on national television and has been profiled in the most prestigious magazines and newspapers in the country.
Since he opened his first studio in December 2001, Lagree’s highly stylized and original program expanded worldwide. Today, there are more than 300 fitness studios in cities ranging from Mexico City to Dubai and across the United States.
Sebastien is about to open his highly anticipated new Lagree Fitness Center in Beverly Hills in January 2016 which will be owned and operated by Danielle Lagree, who is Sebastien’s wife, business partner, and soul mate. “Sebastien’s revolutionary 25-minute workout is low impact, making it perfect for everyone,” says Danielle.
