It was 2018, and Michael was innocent; he had never experienced Lagree before. He walked into the studio feeling confident and capable, until then the instructor led him to a contraption that looked like something out of a science fiction movie. “This is going to be fun!” the instructor told Michael.

Nothing else has proved as mentally gratifying as Lagree. He is so excited to share the experience with you .
