Overall impression: Especially since Shred415 is available through ClassPass, I’m pretty excited to add the workout into my routine. We finished up with some stretching and then everyone went on with their Friday nights! Sometimes I feel like weight classes move too quickly or you skip over certain muscle groups, but this felt like an incredible full body workout. Plus, like I mentioned, the running portion of the class is what you make it-people were running at all different paces and inclines.Īfter each treadmill segment, we swapped places with the people on the floor and spent fifteen minutes doing a mix of different bodyweight exercises. 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. When we first started talking about doing a Chicago workout series, Liz and I knew we definitely wanted to try Orangetheory.
