Fresh Face: Tread House

Tread House is bringing a new kind of workout to Lancaster. As passionate owners, co-owners Shana Atkins and Megan Fessler-McCarthy developed a program combining scientific research, best-in-class equipment, and a ‘feel good’ experience that will leave members coming back for more. Tread House is set to open their doors mid-December and will be located in the historic Penn Square.

The Experience. The Coaches. The Community. Shana and Megan have not only designed the perfect space, but they’ve also come up with the perfect workout regime for their members. They preach to ditch the device, get lost in some real music, and allow yourself 60 minutes to connect to your mind, body, and soul. Each workout will consist of a highly effective cardio program on the nation’s number one treadmill, Woodway Treadmills, strength training that targets specific muscle groups to ensure results and minimize overtraining, and a major focus on injury prevention and recovery. The studio will have a dark, ominous vibe but the energy and music will light up the room.

Both women hold a variety of nationally credited certifications. Shana holds her Personal Training Certification through ISSA and Megan holds hers through ACSM. Both women are certified run coaches through the Road Runners Club of America, and also certified coaches through TRX suspension trainer. Shana also holds a certification as a specialist in sports nutrition. And, as a mother of two boys, Megan is very passionate about her AFPA Pre & Post Natal certification.

“As we disconnect from our devices and daily grind, our minds clear with every stride and every rep. Through this experience we tap into becoming the best versions of ourselves, but we don’t do it alone. In our House, friendships are made and relationships are built. Join our community; we’ll bring the hype—you bring the hustle,” says Megan.

A variety of 60-minute classes are offered Mondays through Saturdays. Tread House will have a number of community partners present in the studio. Restore Cryotherapy will have a compression zone in the lobby for members after classes. Hempfield Botanicals will be available for purchase to help soothe muscle aches and pains, along with Lancaster’s best cold pressed juice, Rijuice, to keep the post-workout good vibes going all week long.
