Australian Miss Universe contestants share their favorite way to get in shape for the biggest modeling competition of the year. And that’s by following the Lagree Fitness Method on the Megaformer. Check out bits from their interviews with bodyandsoul.com.au and news.com.au
We work every muscle group to exhaustion and try to bring on the ‘shakes’ so I leave every class buzzing with endorphins. -Priya Serrao
28 year old Indian-born Model, Priya Serrao credits her cut abs and obliques to the Megaformer and the Lagree Fitness Method. The Lagree Fitness Method originated in LA with Fitness Guru Sebastien Lagree and has since migrated across the United States and to countries around the world. Studio Physique is the 1st and only Lagree Fitness Studio to offer classes on the patented Megaformer in St. Petersburg and Pinellas County. Priya shares why she loves the Megaformer in her interview with bodyandsoul.com.
“It is pilates on steroids. I have tried Pilates before and didn’t like it because I didn’t feel I was pushing myself. I like feeling sore and working up a sweat when I exercise, so Lagree is perfect,” she says.
“We work every muscle group to exhaustion and try to bring on the ‘shakes’ so I leave every class buzzing with endorphins.”

Members who train with us at Studio Physique can expect to see results in as little as two weeks. The Megaformer targets your abdominals and obliques in ways no other workout can, which makes it ideal for those who need to get in shape fast. The workout is always low impact – protecting the joints and back. SP Lagree workouts combine cardio, strength training, endurance, balance and flexibility in every class.
Miss Universe contestant, Danielle Collis, admits that it hasn’t always been easy in her interview with news.com.au.
Before becoming a Miss Universe hopeful, the model would train four times a week, mainly doing pilates.
“I’d go to class but I wasn’t feeling challenged. I wasn’t waking up the next day feeling like my muscles had been working hard enough and that’s why I considered switching to Lagree,” Ms Collis said.
She said she’d always been active and grew up playing sports but had her downfalls and challenges with body image along the way.
“I went through my own personal struggle of what I thought I was meant to look like. As a model you put yourself in an industry where you are constantly being judged,” she told news.com.au.
“I know it’s changing a lot, but it still can be a brutal, cutthroat industry.”
“However, I am at a point in my life where I understand my body so well and the importance of health and mental health.”
