Fifteen minutes may sound like a long time to run on the treadmill if you aren’t typically a runner, but the time flew by, and you got just the right amount of walk breaks. Woodway treadmills are supposed to be super smooth and lower impact, and I could definitely tell the difference. Shred415 was my first time running on Woodway treadmills, which are awesome. When you first get going on the treadmill, you choose your “base pace” for the class (this could be running or walking, depending on what you feel comfortable with), keeping in mind that you’ll be adding more incline or speed from there.
Trish suggested that first-timers start out with the treadmill, which I really liked-I think it’s a bit easier to end the hour with weights instead than sprints! Like the name of the studio implies, the class consists of four fifteen-minute segments, either running on the treadmill or doing weight and body exercises on the benches on the floor. After checking in, the girls at the front desk introduced me to the instructor, Trish, who walked me through the format of the class. What it was like: Going in, I probably knew the least about Shred415, but I LOVED this workout. Price: 9 points through ClassPass, specific Chicago pricing here Quick description: Four fifteen-minute segments, alternating between the treadmill and floor exercises. The workout: Total Body with Trish, 4:15 pm on Fridays I’m lucky that all three workout classes are available just a few blocks from my apartment in Lincoln Park, so I was able to try them all over the past month! Here’s what each class was like: But I’d also heard great things about Barry’s Bootcamp and Shred415, and from my initial understanding, they were all the same type of workout-that is, high-intensity interval training with the goal of boosting your metabolism and maximizing fat loss. We both have friends who rave about the workout, and we had seen some pretty incredible results. If you’re not a beginner and in Chicago or St.When we first started talking about doing a Chicago workout series, Liz and I knew we definitely wanted to try Orangetheory. The whole atmosphere creates a crazy fun energy that pushes you to go harder and faster. On the final treadmill run, I was running at a 5.0 on the treadmill and she came up and whispered to me, “you can bump it up a little more, make yourself proud.” I was already quite proud that I was still running while the skinny girl a few machines down was walking, but I bumped it up a notch anyway through until the finish line. The power walking instructor was so great I don’t know how you can direct two groups of people doing two totally different exercises at the same time in the same class room. Let me tell you, I had to do modifications on 90% of the floor exercises. Today, my goal was to make it through the class without vomiting. Last week my goal was not to fall off the step or trip on the treadmill. However, today I thought “This is like the last class, but on steroids mixed with Red Bull.” For example after my first Shred 415 class I went to last week, I thought “wow that was really tough.” It was pretty cool to walk sideways and turn around and walk backwards on the treadmill. So if you try a group fitness class and don’t really like it, give it a second or third chance with a different instructor. This was my second time taking a Shred 415 class, but let me tell you, different teachers make all the difference.
Then you alternate between the floor and treadmill for four 15 minute high intensity intervals.
Shred 415 passes free#
Half of the class starts on the treadmills the other half starts on the step with the free weights for strength training. Some ladies in Chicago started a class that combines running on the treadmill mixed with free weights and a step. I guess I should explain what it is for those who may not know. Today, I wanted to get home before Empire came on, so I scheduled an early evening class at Shred 415. I usually sign up for whatever class fits my schedule on any given day. Class Pass always pushes me outside of my comfort zone, but in the best possible way.
