SHRED: Gym & Home Workouts 12+

I’ve been telling myself for 10 years post college that I would finally commit to getting the body an athlete in the prime of his primordial existence should have. I wanted to be a warrior at the gym , I wanted to be a beast and do it alone.
I never wanted a trainer, I never wanted the small talk, the feeling of being somebody’s pay check. Shred gave me the keys to the castle. I have workouts that not only are the best in the gym BUT workouts where at least a few people ask me where I got my workout every single time, including trainers. The workouts are dynamic, athletic and efficient no matter what style you use.
I try to alternate between four different syles over the course of the year, LeanX and Crossshred when I’m in absolute beast mode and want to up my anaerobic and muscular conditioning . These styles have athletic work, and isolation work. I also do Bulk and Classic to focus more on iso and hypertrophy training for really working on muscle density. I also do my Shreds at the end of the workout to stay as chiseled as possible.
Shred has allowed me to kill it with the ladies, finally! Like a serious change that I’ve never had. I’ve never been the guy with the abs, but I really am now. I’m not cocky now I’m just confident and I guess happy. My job is not that amazing in a lot of ways and so Shred is finally something to look forward to at the end of the day .

It’s a really sweet app for working out and has the perfect set up, just need some tweaking. For example it asks in setting what equipment you have available to use and it saves your selections, but then when you use the guided workouts the workout isn’t tailored based on the equipment you select. So you end up using the alternatives which they nicely have as an option for every workout, but it would be super convenient if the workout program already was tailored to the settings. Also I wish there was a way to be able to use the app with no internet. At my gym it’s super crappy cell service and no Wi-Fi and so sometimes I can’t view the video instructions. Which leads to my other complaint- I wish they would have a stretching routine that wasn’t a class or video based program. I can’t use the videos at my gym and so if I want to do a suggested stretch I can’t since it’s only in video follow along format. If they had it set up to where it was like the workouts and it gave you video instructions on how to do the stretch and a timer for each one so I could use the feature without internet that’d be perfect. Another thing that would be awesome was that after a workout when it suggests a short 5 minute cardio or HIIT that it'd instead ask you how much time you wanted to spend on those extras. I love the option after a workout to do my cardio or HIIT but sometimes I have more time so if it’d let you select an amount vs the preset 5 min that’d be sweet.

I've worked out my whole life. And it's always been a pain to have to think about and plan out my workout every day. Not just WHAT to do, but remembering what I did last time and trying to track gains. It was also always a challenge to get in and out of the gym efficiently. SHRED changed all that. Now I literally show up to the gym, open the app, and do what it says. It keeps track of my progress, keeps me moving through my workouts with a timer, and encourages me to push myself the whole way through. I've tried just about every app out there, and this app is by far the best one. And it's a lot cheaper than a personal trainer. They also are investing in their app, making new updates often. I always look forward to the next update...because they seem to be listening to their members and making the app ever better than it already is. Not only is the app an awesome workout app, but the company is amazing as well. It's easy to ask a question or report a bug. And they answer quickly and make you feel like a person, not just a "trouble ticket". Shred team...keep up the great work. I'm a disciple for life!
