From Strength to Shred

Why Every Gym Needs an Ab, Glute & Cardio Combo

In today’s competitive fitness market, one truth stands above the rest: Members don’t just want workouts—they want results. Whether it’s a flatter stomach, stronger glutes, or dropping stubborn body fat, gym-goers are motivated by visible change. For gym owners, the challenge is building training spaces that deliver on those demands while creating an engaging, retention-driven experience.

The solution? A powerful combination of targeted ab and glute workouts paired with cardio for fat loss—what we call the Shred Zone™. This blends strength, aesthetics, and conditioning into a seamless system that transforms both bodies and business outcomes.


Why Abs and Glutes Lead the Way

It’s no secret that abs and glutes are the most in-demand muscle groups worldwide. Social media is flooded with posts about "ab workouts" and "glute training." For members, these aren’t just vanity muscles—strong abs and glutes influence posture, protect the spine, improve athletic performance, and boost confidence.

Offering solutions that directly target these areas ensures members feel they're investing their time wisely. The Abs Company built its reputation with patented machines like the Ab Coaster® and the Glute Coaster®, guiding users safely through proper ranges of motion. Unlike crunches or free weights, these machines deliver consistency and safety.

  • Happier members: who see faster progress.
  • Safer training options: for all demographics.
  • Higher engagement: with equipment that’s rewarding and easy to use.

Why Cardio Seals the Deal

Strength alone won’t carve out a six-pack or sculpt glutes if members can’t shed the layer of fat covering them. That’s where cardio for fat loss becomes essential.

Pairing isolation strength training with metabolic conditioning creates a high-efficiency model. Cardio machines like the SledMill® and the aTAC™ HIIT Ergometer maximize results and calorie burn.

The SledMill® allows sled training without turf or excess space. The aTAC™ AirBike offers intense calorie burn via fan resistance, integrating seamlessly into a Shred Zone™.

Science backs this: HIIT can reduce body fat faster than traditional cardio methods. For busy members, that's a win—and for gym owners, it’s a marketing goldmine.


The Shred Zone: A Revenue-Generating Solution

Imagine dedicating 300–400 sq. ft. of your facility to a branded Shred Zone™. Members circulate through ab and glute equipment, finishing with sled pushes or aTAC™ sprints. The design is compact and efficient.

  • Differentiation: Integrated abs+glutes+cardio systems make your facility stand out.
  • Retention: Visible results keep members renewing and reduce churn.
  • New revenue streams: Shred Zones are ideal for small group sessions, PT upsells, and premium memberships.

Operators often brand their Shred Zones, using signage and digital marketing to boost excitement. Social media sharing helps your zone market itself.

Why This Matters for Gym Owners

As a gym operator, your dual focus is attracting new members and retaining current members. Retention is the key driver of profit; members quit when they don’t see results.

Delivering a system that produces the most visible desired results (abs and glutes) while also promoting fat loss through cardio directly addresses why people join gyms.

This isn’t about adding random machines—it’s about a signature experience competitors can’t match.


Final Takeaway

Members want abs, glutes, and fat loss. The best gyms deliver all three with a Shred Zone™ and proven products. This results-driven approach boosts satisfaction, social buzz, and long-term loyalty.

Don’t just compete—differentiate. Transform your space into a retention powerhouse with an Ab, Glute & Shred Zone™ designed for today's demands.
