Don’t Underestimate Yourself

There’s a voice a lot of women in their 40s and 50s carry around quietly, and it usually shows up right when they start thinking about getting back into exercise. “My body isn’t what it used to be. I’ve got old injuries, joint issues, things that just weren’t a problem...

Fall Routine Falling Apart? Here’s How Rocklin area Women Stay Consistent Before the Holidays

My wife hates it. Every fiber of her being resists the first sign of fall. The mornings are cooler now. Almost brisk. And our yard lights are coming on at night again, which throws me off every single year because I go to bed at 8:00. There’s a whole stretch...

Why Small Groups Change Everything for Women Over 40 (And Big Gyms Never Will)

If you’ve ever quit a gym membership and nobody said a word about it, that wasn’t a coincidence. That was the business model working exactly as designed. Big gyms are built to hold a lot of people loosely. You pay for access, not attention. When you stop showing up, the...

Why Does Your Body Feel Different After 40? What’s Actually Happening

If you’ve asked yourself why does your body feel different after 40, you’re not imagining it. It is sudden. Overnight even. I hear this from women almost every week. Same effort as always. Same food. Same workouts, more or less. And yet the fatigue doesn’t lift, the weight doesn’t move,...

You Didn’t Fall Off. You’re Just Between Chapters.

If the last few weeks have felt like a slow slide instead of a straight line, you’re not imagining it, and you’re not the only one. Late July does this to almost everyone. Vacations happen. Schedules break. The routine you had locked in back in June quietly stopped being a...

Afraid to Walk Into a Gym? Here’s What’s Really Happening (And Why It’s Not About Fitness)

If you have ever driven to a gym, sat in the parking lot, and talked yourself out of walking in, you are not alone, and you are not being dramatic. There is a real psychological pattern behind that hesitation, and understanding it is often the first step to finally getting...

Shred 27 is a great gym! The classes are challenging and motivating. At 65, I was worried about keeping up with the exercises, but coach is patient, encouraging, and always pushes me to try just a little bit more. The women I’ve met in class are kind, fun, and encouraging. This is the place to work out, even if you don’t know how. I learn something new every time I attend a class, and in the process, I’ve lost weight and gained muscle.

I started at this gym thinking “ I’ll just go because I was training to walk the Camino Portuguese 185 mi. Then I’ll exercise and do it on my own, just quit. BUT I realized I LoVE 💗 the personal attention in the small group strength training and HIIT classes. It’s what motivates me and I actually see muscles. I feel so much better. Going 3-4x a week I realize I am taking care of myself. The other days I’m riding my horse. Thank you shred 27

Shout out to Shred27 and their staff for really putting in work and effort with everyone coming in. I won a cool deal they were throwing in a raffle. The dedication, time, and enthusiasm shown to me did not disappoint. It lived up to the hype I see in other reviews and what I've heard about them in general. Cameron, although not a trainer, was professional, motivating, and a great reputation of Shred27. He got to teach my first class I attended and I left not only feeling pumped but grateful that I got to experience the cool deal they had going on! The facility? Clean ✅️ Aesthetically pleasing ✨️ Equipment was nice and in great shape 👌 There's merchandise if you want. 👕 I loved the workout board. 📃 Great music. 🎵 Good accessibility into and out of the building. Overall - awesome experience 😎

I have been coming to Shred27 since June2025 for the HIIT classes with Gabriel. He’s a great instructor, I know I will always come to a high energy class with solid support and guidance. I recently started with 2x week strength classes with Joey. He is an amazing trainer. Very professional, supportive and motivational as well. He was able to crack the code on how to make my body respond with building muscle and losing fat. I’m so grateful that I found Shred27 and I am looking forward to meeting my goals with the help of these amazing trainers.

Gabriel provides great instruction and works hard to ensure a good, safe workout.

I was extremely nervous coming to my first class. I hadn't done anything in decades! Everyone was very welcoming and informative - the coaches, front of desk, other customers. If you are looking for a small gym that gives great results this is your place!

Absolutely love this place!!!! At first I was so reluctant to go but once I stepped in I felt so welcomed and wanted to go back day after day. I went in to work on my strength and I feel stronger day by day….. couldn’t recommend this place more!
