Who is Sami Pierce?
Sami Pierce is a Level 3 Lagree Master Trainer trained by Sebastien Lagree and the Co-Owner of Viva Lagree, a women-owned studio in Farmington and Layton, Utah. She leads instructor certifications, mentors working instructors, and consults with studio owners. Her specialty is the psychology of coaching language: how the words an instructor chooses shape what a client feels, remembers, and rebooks.
Why do an instructor's words matter so much?
Two instructors can teach the same 45 minutes of moves and fill very different rooms. The Megaformer supplies the resistance. The instructor supplies the meaning. Clients forget exercise order within an hour, and they remember the sentence that got them through the last 10 seconds. Sami teaches instructors to choose those sentences on purpose.
