SHRED415
Kristen Beracha, Bonnie Micheli, and Tracy Roemer
Popular Chicago fitness studio SHRED415 opened its first St. Louis location (8384 Musick Memorial, 314-735-0368) yesterday in Brentwood.
Personal trainers Bonnie Micheli, a St. Louis native, and Tracy Roemer opened the first SHRED415 location in Chicago in April 2011.
"We always had an eye on expanding outside of Chicago. Bonnie grew up in St. Louis and still has family here, so when we started to make plans for the next studio it seemed to be an obvious choice," says Roemer. "We were able to team up with Brian and Kristen Beracha, Bonnie's brother and sister-in-law, and have been having a great time opening the studio."
The studio features high-intensity interval training workouts in 60-minute group classes, paced out in 15-minute intervals. Instructors with expertise in sports medicine, rehabilitation, MMA, and physical therapy lead the classes in running segments on treadmills and floor exercises using free weights, resistance bands, medicine balls, and more.
The St. Louis location will offer more than 40 classes each week, with childcare available during select times for children ages six weeks to 10 years old. Classes are $24 each to attend, discounted to $18 for students, military, teachers, firefighters, policemen/women, and those over the age of 55. Multi-class packs are also available.
"Shred415 is suited for all skill and fitness levels. The works out is very individual—you select your weights, you select your pace," says Micheli. "We have marathon runners, new moms, busy professionals, and dedicated athletes all in one class at the same time."
