The true heroes behind Boostd & their inspiring stories.

Why did I initially join boostd:
I’ve always been curious by nature and have played sports throughout my life. When I discovered the Lagree Method and learned it was offered at Boostd, I knew I had to try it. Since then, it has become an integral part of my routine, improving every aspect of my life – making me both stronger and happier.

What do I love about booster:
The workout itself is unlike any other. It never gets easier, and no exercise ever grows old. There’s nothing else I’ve tried that works every single muscle in my body as deeply as this. And it challenges my brain too, as it works to connect with my body, activating the right muscles to maximize every movement—all at the perfect, slow pace. What truly makes it precious, though, is the company during class:

It’s the like-minded people suffering alongside you on the machines, each of you pushing through, motivating one another to keep going. It’s the bonds you form with those, some of whom eventually become real friends.

And it’s about the coaches, who offer a dose of tough love for the full 50 minutes: ‘Minimum eight counts up—and minimum eight counts down’ (Queen), ‘Let’s see if you still got it’ (Sebastien), ‘It’s heavy leg day, mamma mia’ (Ilaria), ‘Karoline will announce the next exercise’ (Marko, asking me to announce the Hamstring-f*ing-bridge), ‘The Bungee is always on the menu’ (Tresor), ‘Just breathe through it’ (Aidan), ‘Was it tough?’ (Elena), ‘Great work, Saturday’ (Sophie), ‘To get the most out of it, you really have to go deep’ (Michela).

Why did you initially join Boostd?
I joined Boostd over five years ago when I was looking for something different from the usual gym routine. I first noticed the studio at Forum and was immediately intrigued. Around the same time, a friend highly recommended trying a class. Since I was also dealing with back pain, I decided to give it a shot – and I’m so glad I did!

What do you love about Boostd?
Boostd is my happy place. I love the Barre and Lagree method because they’ve helped me make real progress, feel stronger, and improve my overall fitness. But beyond the workouts, what truly sets Boostd apart is the incredible team of senior instructors. They’re not just skilled professionals. They are passionate, supportive, and always go the extra mile to help you improve.

Why did you initially join boostd?
I initially joined boostd because I was looking for something new in my work routine. My goal was to find something I could really stick to and truly enjoy. I started with Barre, and “eased into” Lagree.

What do you love about boostd?
I love how much it improves my overall well-being. I find the list of benefits almost too long to list here! Thanks to boostd my posture has never been better, I feel very strong and lean, and my athletic performance improved immensely! I am an avid runner and tennis player and I find boostd to be very complementary. Finally, I am never ever bored in class, the variety of teachers and styles always keeps me on my toes and makes me excited to go each time.

Try it, and I’m pretty certain you’ll be back, and then we can go together! (Many of my friends have fallen into this trap).

Why did you initially join boostd?
I loved the Lagree method I had been going to in NYC for years, and when we moved to Zürich in 2015, I was delighted to see that a studio had just opened here! Flash forward almost 10 years, and I’m still a loyal Boostd attendee.

What do you love about boostd?
I honestly feel so much better when I attend consistently. I have less back pain, I sleep better, and feel super strong and confident. Not only is boostd a huge physical as well as mental challenge for me, but the community of positive coaches and other attendees is something I look forward to in my daily life.

A workout on a type of reformer machine, where you move insanely slow, but somehow sweat and shake more than you could ever think possible – the best.

“Boostd is simply divine!”

Why did you initially join boostd?
I’ve never been a very sporty person but really wanted to change something about it. I then joined a Reformer trial class in Thailand and immediately fell in love…it was fun and I really enjoyed it! So I knew this is it! Back in Zürich I’ve been searching for a Reformer Studio and discovered Boostd and the Lagree Method…..my first class was teached by Tresor. This was back in 2016 and still I am here, taking Barre and Lagree classes every week

What do you love about boostd?
It is always fun and the team is just great! I love the energy, especially in the Barre classes, and you see results in a short time

Boostd to a friend in one sentence
Its an intense but highly efficient workout-no pain no gain but it’s worth it.

Kelly

Why did you initially join boostd?
I had been doing HIIT workouts for 5 years consistently, but found myself starting to dread the workouts and going to the gym. I knew something needed to change because i had lost motivation. My friends recommended Boostd and the rest was history!

What do you love about boostd?
I love that I’m still getting a high intensity workout but with low impact. I have integrated it into my daily routine and I look forward to coming to each class! The trainers are so friendly and all have their own style, so it never feels repetitive.

Boostd to a friend in one sentence
Boostd is insanely challenging, but also insanely rewarding!

Why did I initially join Boostd?
I joined Boostd back in 2016 when I had a severe ski accident (smashed my tibia head) because I thought it might help accelerate the recovery process. And it proved to be right. I gained back full flexibility and strength and even my surgeon was very much impressed by the recovery progress.

What do I love about Boostd?
I guess it’s different factors. First and foremost I pretty much love “my” coaches which always motivate me to push my limits. The energy and atmosphere the coaches create in the classes is quite amazing. Further I like the fact that it’s never getting easier. Over the time you start to challenge yourself more and more. And last but not least you get results. Even though you’re not building up a big volume of muscles like in a traditional gym, instead you’re building deep muscles, strength and flexibility which to me is more important.

Boostd to a friend:
Come in and find out – you will be impressed how little you know about all the different muscles in your body and it’s never too late to get in shape.

Philipp

Why did you initially join boostd?
I had enough of the “traditional” fitness studios and was looking for something new. I once did a workout that was a mix between boxing and ballet. I googled for something similar and found the Barre course at Boostd. I had my first Barre class in January 2022 and one month later I started with Lagree. Since then, booster has a fix place in my schedule.

What do you love about boostd?
The atmosphere of the studios and the fun during training. I also like the fact that everyone can do Lagree or Barre, whether they are beginners or advanced, younger or older (like me )

Describe boostd to a friend in one sentence
Lagree especially Lagree ramp is the upgrade of all training I have done so far.
