Taking the leap into your first Total Body or Arms & Abs class at Shred415 is an exciting step toward your fitness goals. Our classes are designed to be effective, efficient, and adaptable for all fitness levels, combining cardio bursts with strength training to deliver results. To help you feel prepared and confident, here are five things you need to know before stepping into your first class.
1. Expect a Total-Body Workout
Our Total Body class is designed to target multiple muscle groups for maximum efficiency. You’ll alternate between the treadmill and the floor, combining high-energy cardio with strength training to torch calories and build muscle. The class structure ensures you’ll work your entire body, leaving no muscle group untouched.
For those joining an Arms & Abs class, get ready to focus on your upper body and core. From biceps curls to triceps dips and shoulder presses, the lifting portion will strengthen and tone your arms, while core exercises target and tighten your midsection.
2. Equal Time on the Treadmills and Floor
Every Shred415 class splits time evenly between the decks and the floor. During the treads portion, expect signature drills that range from walking to jogging to sprinting, giving you a powerful cardio burst. The floor portion includes strength exercises tailored to the class focus, such as total-body movements or targeted arms and abs exercises.
If you’re new to treads, don’t worry. Modifications are always offered, and you can choose to walk or jog at a pace that suits you. The goal is to keep moving and challenge yourself at your own level.
3. Bring the Right Gear
Comfortable workout clothes and a good pair of running shoes are key for a successful class. For Arms & Abs, consider wearing a top that allows for free movement during lifting exercises. Don’t forget a water bottle to stay hydrated and a towel. You’ll definitely work up a sweat.
4. Modifications are Always Offered
At Shred415, we believe fitness should be for everyone. No matter your experience level or physical ability, our instructors provide modifications to ensure the workout meets your needs. Whether you’re a beginner or looking to take it to the next level, you’ll leave class feeling challenged and accomplished.
For example, if sprinting on the treadmill isn’t for you, walking at an incline can deliver the same cardio benefits. On the floor, instructors will guide you through adjustments to ensure proper form and maximize results.
5. It’s Okay to Take Breaks
Our classes are high-energy, but that doesn’t mean you can’t take a moment to breathe. Listen to your body and take breaks when needed, whether it’s slowing down your treadmill pace or pausing between floor exercises. Progress is about consistency, not perfection, and every small step you take counts.
