How to Get Your Friends and Family to Love Training (Without Sounding Like a Gym Nerd)

If you’re like me, fitness isn’t just a hobby. It’s a full-on lifestyle. I love it so much, I went and bought a gym here in Rocklin, California. Yep, instead of saving for my kids’ college, I’m funding battle ropes and kettlebells. Priorities, right? You’d think that kind of passion...

Creatine for Women: The Low-Cost Boost Most of Us Are Missing

I’m not a baseball fan. Never have been. But even I got pulled into the ‘90s home run race between Mark McGwire and Sammy Sosa. McGwire claimed his edge came from creatine. (It didn’t. It was steroids. Lots of steroids. Creatine just got caught in the drama.) That gave creatine...

Where’s the Beef? And Why It Doesn’t Matter (If You’re Getting Enough Protein)

“I can’t eat that. It’s way too much like a real hamburger.”That’s what my wife said after side-eyeing the plant-based burger she ordered. And honestly? Fair. Remember when Impossible and Beyond Burgers were everywhere? They had a moment. Grocery store displays. Chain restaurant menus. Commercials during prime time. They were...

Why “Fun” Might Be the Most Underrated Fitness Strategy

“Have fun! It’s the only thing that will keep you going.” That’s what Arnold said in his newsletter this week. And honestly? It stopped me mid-scroll. Because after years of coaching women who’ve tried all the calorie-counting apps, meal-prepping plans, macro calculators, and magic supplements… it hit me: We’ve completely...

Eat the Frog and Win the Day

On my walk with the kids last night, we passed a pond where the bullfrogs were really letting loose. I’m talking full frog choir mode. Which made me think… we should probably talk about frogs. Not the cute little ones on lily pads.I’m talking about the big, ugly, slimy kind....

Want to Feel Better Fast? Try Being Boring.

We took the kids to a playdate yesterday. The usual suburban hangout: chalk everywhere, spilled juice boxes, and tired parents making awkward conversation over Costco coffee. Then it happened. Over the rim of her coffee mug, the other mom asked us, “So… any fun summer plans?” My wife didn’t miss...

“I Don’t Even Know What I’m Supposed to Eat Anymore.” (Let’s Fix That.)

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!
