Fit Buddha Ventura, Ventura

Today, you can find Marcus and Eva Kettles overseeing an array of Megaformer machines and a staff of trainers inside Fit Buddha's eastern-themed exercise zone, where guests bolster their bodies during signature Lagree Fitness classes–all without the burden of membership fees.

The 40- and 50-minute Lagree Fitness workouts on its signature Megaformer machine draws from focused Pilates techniques, cardio drills, and strength training to create a full-body conditioning routine. By melding effective intensity, cardio, and endurance training while minimizing transition time, the Megaformer delivers a more complete workout than traditional Pilates. Energizing music syncs up with the class circuit, which can deviate from the Lagree Fitness formula to include stationary cycling and nonstationary naptime. The studio also houses wellness and nutrition centers that espouse the anti-aging benefits of infrared saunas alongside wholesome sips from protein shakes. Fit Buddha has also opened a second location in Ventura, which is one of the only locations in the area to offer Megaformer fitness classes. The fan-favorite studio has garnered a devoted following, becoming the multiple-year winner of the Santa Barbara's Independent Reader's poll for "Best Pilates" and the Ventura County Reporter Reader's Poll for "Best Pilates" in the county.
