From the reviews
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.
The floating meditation with Shannon was amazing. I have never been one to meditate- but this did the trick. She made our group comfortable from the start and provided an unforgettable experience! I highly recommend for others in the area looking for a total relaxation experience.
Our daughter had her 6th birthday party here. It was a great experience! Very low stress and the kids had a blast doing aerial yoga. Would definitely recommend!
Bachelorette & private parties at Shred With Shannon
Shred With Shannon comes up for private parties — confirmed on their own site. A pole party is one of the most-booked ways to celebrate a bachelorette, birthday, or girls' night, and it's a blast even if nobody in the group has ever touched a pole. A few things worth asking when you reach out. First, group size and what's included — most studios run private parties for around 6–15 people with a dedicated instructor, a beginner-friendly routine, and time for photos. Second, the vibe you want — sassy heels-and-flow choreography, playful spins and tricks, or a mix; a good studio tailors it to the guest of honor. Third, booking and pricing — parties are usually a flat package booked in advance, and popular weekend slots fill up fast, so ask about deposits and what to wear (shorts for grip, no lotion). It's beginner-friendly by design, judgment-free, and genuinely fun — exactly the kind of thing everyone talks about afterward.
Your first pole class at Shred With Shannon
Nervous about your first pole class? Almost everyone is — and a good studio expects total beginners to walk in the door. Here's what to know. You don't need to be strong, flexible, or thin to start — pole builds all of that, and your first class is about learning to spin, walk the pole, and hold on, not inverting on day one. What to expect: a warm-up, some conditioning, and a few basic spins or a short combo — it's a real full-body workout, so expect to sweat and to feel it in your arms and core the next day. Rest whenever you need to; no one is watching or judging. What to wear: shorts and a tank or sports bra — bare skin on your arms, legs, and stomach is what grips the pole, so save the leggings for aerial or floorwork. Skip the lotion the day of class; it makes the pole slippery. Grip aids: most studios keep grip liquid (Dry Hands / iTac) on hand, and knee pads make floorwork comfy — ask at the front desk. What to bring: water and a small towel. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign in and meet your instructor. It clicks fast — most people leave their first class already planning the next one.
