Hear from Colleen as she shares her incredible Shred journey, from getting her fitness back on track to closing in on 415 classes!
I started Shred415 in July 2023 because I was searching for a place to reset my fitness & health journey. Growing up as a competitive gymnast, working out & living a healthy lifestyle was always a big part of my life. During the pandemic, I started struggling with my weight, and I couldn’t find anything that would stick. I decided it was time to make a change because I was sick of not feeling like the person I knew I was. I decided it was finally time to focus on the positive aspects of working out & eating healthy, and not just focusing on a number on the scale.
Going into my first workout, I was very nervous because I hadn’t done a workout like Shred415 in a very long time. But, I could tell immediately that it was different. The instructors were kind & understanding, and the workouts were welcoming to all different fitness levels. I never once felt judged or self-conscious, and I was excited each day to attend class. I found myself staying present for the entire class and working harder than I ever had before. I could tell that I was slowly getting stronger and more confident in myself, and that kept me coming back for more.
Fast forward to a year and a half later, and I am not only proud of the weight I have lost but that I am mentally in such a better place than I was last July. It is so true that this place is more than a workout! My goal is to hit my 415th class by the end of the year, and I am so thankful to the entire Lincoln Park staff for giving me a safe place to grow & get stronger every day.
Thank you, Shred Lincoln Park!!!!
We’re so proud to be part of Colleen’s journey and can’t wait to celebrate her crushing 415 classes (and beyond)!
