What you eat before a workout is crucial for your performance and apparently carbs and sugars are encouraged. Buzz60's Susana Victoria Perez has more. Buzz60

Have you ever strapped yourself to a spring-loaded machineand then felt a core sorer than you've ever known?

Then chances are you've tried the workout that ClassPass deems 2019's trendiest: the Megaformer class.

Fitness booking app ClassPassanalyzed more than 100 million workouts to determine that theMegaformer workoutwas the fastest-growing fitness trend in America. The machine-based class, which has been popularized by celebrities including Sofia Vergara, combines pilates with cardio by way of a contraption designed by (or inspired by the design of) trainer Sebastien Lagree of Lagree Fitness. The machine has platforms on the front and back, and a gliding carriage in the middle that forces users to engage stabilizing stomachand leg muscles. And to sweat, often profusely.

Though versions of the machine have been around since 2005, the 30-60 minute Megaformer class has caught on this year, according to ClassPass. Theapp reports a million Megaformer classes were booked in 2019, which marks a 38.6% increase in Megaformer reservations compared to 2018.

Meanwhile, Lagree Fitness is coming out with a new version of exercise equipment this week: the Megaformer EVO.
