With a name like H-KORE, you know what you’re in for: a hardcore workout that leaves you sweating, shaking and somehow coming back for more. As the only gym to offer Lagree fitness in Hong Kong, H-KORE’s co-founder, Vanessa Valenzuela, tells us more about how she first discovered the intense but invigorating workout, why it’s so effective and Hong Kong’s latest fitness trends.

For a high-intensity but low-impact workout, step on a Megaformer machine in one of H-Kore’s Megakore lagree fitness class. Over the past few years, lagree fitness has taken the world by storm for bringing together bodybuilding techniques with pilates. Slow and controlled reps on the Megaformer are not only beneficial for injury rehabilitation, but also strengthens the body with a focus on form.

For a full-body workout that’ll both strengthen and stretch your body, try H-Kore’s Megaformer classes. The studio specialises in lagree fitness, a workout method that combines resistance training and cardio by using its Megaformer device. Their low-impact, high-intensity exercises are designed to have you work until muscle failure, and it’s believed that lagree fitness helps burn fat for up to 38 hours post-workout. H-Kore currently offers two to five vaccinated mask-free classes where clients must have had their second vaccine at least two weeks before. To keep your Covid-19 worries at bay, all teaching staff at H-Kore have been fully vaccinated.

Whether you’re a fitness beginner or pro-level powerhouse, H-Kore has you covered. The bright and spacious Quarry Bay location boasts two fully kitted-out studios, which play host to dozens of classes that cater to all abilities, including yoga, circuit training, Lagree fitness, barre, and kettlebell workouts. Focusing on small class sizes offering more personalised attention, you’ll be strengthening, stretching and sweating your way to your fitness goals in no time.

H-Kore’s unique training methods will ensure that all your fitness needs are met. Try the MegaKore classes which are 45-minute Lagree Fitness classes performed on the state-of-the-art Megaformer machine will strengthen and tone your whole body.

For prenatal and postnatal ladies looking to tone up their arms and legs, H-Kore is the place to go. Start out in the dedicated Pre and Post Natal classes before moving on (if you’d like) to the MegaKore Basics classes. In all classes, exercises will be modified to ensure a safe workout for women looking to stay fit during their pregnancy. With small class sizes for individual attention and upbeat music, it’s all about creating an inviting, but also challenging, group environment for the courageous and strong mumma-to-bes out there.

Born in sunny California, Lagree fitness made its way to Asia 8 years ago, with its first stop in Hong Kong. If you’ve yet to cross the Megaformer off your list, or you feel like you’ve plateaued with your regular gym sessions, it may be time to head to H-Kore for their Megakore class. A little intimidating at first, the megaformer machine is fitness magic, and those familiar with it swear (and sweat!) by it.
