From the reviews
I did 10 weeks of personal training with Shannon and learned so much. She was very flexible with scheduling sessions and accommodating when I had to bring 1-3 of my kids with me to sessions. When I had to bring kids with she was really great with them and included them in my workouts or gave them something to do to!!!
Shred with Shannon is a fabulous fitness studio located in the heart of Waconia! If you are looking for group fitness classes for any level or any “body” Shannon is the fitness coach for you! I have known Shannon for 8 years and worked out with her since she started as a trainer.
Getting back into working out after having two babies back to back was daunting, but my first step into Shannon’s studio and I felt completely at ease! Not only is Shannon’s upbeat, positive energy contagious, but she makes the workouts so fun and effective for every fitness level.
10/10 Recommend - we will for sure be back! If you’re looking for a fitness studio that’s more than just a gym, Shred with Shannon is the place to be! This studio is an absolute gem, offering not only high-energy fitness classes but also expert nutrition guidance and an incredibly fun aerial silk play experience.
New to kickboxing? Start at Shred With Shannon
Shred With Shannon comes up as a beginner-friendly gym — noted on their own site. If you've never thrown a punch or a kick, that's exactly who a good beginners class is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit or coordinated to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and coaches scale every drill to you. Second, you won't be thrown into hard sparring — reputable gyms build the basics (stance, footwork, and punches and kicks on pads and bags) first, and any contact eases in gradually under a coach's control. Third, all fitness levels really are welcome — ask about a dedicated beginners or fundamentals class time so your first session is alongside others who are also starting out. Most gyms are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.
Your first kickboxing class at Shred With Shannon
Nervous about walking into a kickboxing gym for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good coaches expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling the basics — stance, footwork, and punches and kicks on pads or a heavy bag — not hard sparring. Go at your own pace and rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: comfortable athletic clothes you can move and sweat in, and supportive trainers. What to bring: water, and hand wraps and gloves if you have them — many gyms lend loaner gloves for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gloves and wraps (and shin guards once you start sparring). Sparring is optional and eases in gradually, once your basics are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the coach. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
