After falling in love with the Lagree method in 2018 and getting certified to teach in June 2024, Carol Morgan opened Lagree Lounge at 1150 Garnet Ave in Pacific Beach, 92109—making it the neighborhood’s only studio equipped with MegaPro machines, the newest model in the Lagree Fitness lineup featuring tilting carriage platforms. The boutique studio holds just 10 MegaPro units, keeping class sizes intimate so instructors can focus on each client’s form and alignment during the 45-minute high-intensity, low-impact sessions. Morgan’s path to ownership started on a whim when she spotted a “Now Leasing” sign while walking Garnet Ave and called the agent with nothing more than an idea—a story she shared in a profile with SDVoyager, and the studio was also featured in Times of San Diego’s coastal fitness roundup. Memberships start at $75 per month, with individual classes available at $35 for returning clients and $15 for a first-time drop-in. Those drawn to low-impact group fitness can also explore barre-based workouts at Spirit Barre Studios, another boutique studio in the Pacific Beach wellness scene. On the first Friday of every month, Morgan hosts a Lagree & Lounge event: a high-energy late-night class followed by a community hangout that has become a signature gathering for regulars and newcomers alike. The studio holds a 5.0-star Google rating across 107 reviews, with members consistently praising the upbeat playlists, supportive coaching, and the full-body burn that keeps them coming back. Grabbing a light bite after class is easy at Drift Cafe, a casual spot steps away on Garnet with smoothie bowls and fresh options. Lagree Lounge is open seven days a week, with weekday classes running from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m., Saturdays from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m., and Sundays from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m.
