Don’t Just Keep Up. Lead the Way: How to Get in Shape for Life’s Adventures

I’m writing this from a hotel room, sipping coffee at 4:30 a.m., while my kids sleep off the fatigue of yesterday’s Mickey Mouse marathon. My watch logged over 25,000 steps, so I know they’re wiped out. But as I reflect on our day, I can’t help but think of a...

Yeah, But I Am Worth It: Why Investing in Your Fitness is the Best Decision You’ll Make

“A personal trainer? That must be expensive.” Chris heard this from her friends after she told them how great she felt just a few sessions into her personal training journey. Her response? “But you know what? I’m worth it.” That moment stopped me in my tracks. Because she’s right. And...

Are You Optimized?

Meat is dangerous. Seed oils are the root of all evil. Your hormones are completely out of whack… If you believe everything you see online, you’d think we’re all doomed to a slow decline into poor health. Unless, of course, you buy the latest magic supplement, hop on the newest...

Why Do We Flake Out? (And How to Stop)

You did the thing. You signed up, scheduled the workout, maybe even set out your gym clothes the night before. You told yourself, “This is it. I am getting back on track.” And then… you bailed. Maybe you convinced yourself you were too tired. Maybe work got hectic. Maybe that...

Taking Ozempic or Mounjaro? Here’s How to Do It the Right Way

If you live in Rocklin, CA, or the surrounding areas and have been considering these GLP-1 drugs, you’re not alone.

The Cost of Waiting: Are You Missing Out?

“He was a brave man that first ate an oyster.” — Jonathan Swift. Let’s be real—who looks at an oyster and thinks, “Yep, I should definitely eat that”? The first person to try it must’ve had nerves of steel. And while the risks of eating an oyster are (usually) just...

Turn Back Time

Turn Back Time? Not Exactly. But This Is Pretty Close. We’ve all wished we could turn back time (for those old enough to jam to Cher). While we can’t rewind the clock, science says we can take steps to keep our bodies and minds youthful. It starts at the cellular...

Why Do We Do Hard Things?

As we kicked off our 50 Strong Challenge last week at Shred 27, one thing is crystal clear: people are eager to take on hard things. Despite the challenge’s straightforward promotion—“it’s hard, it will push you, it’s not going to be easy”—we’ve seen record-breaking sign-ups. This excitement raises an important...

Rediscover Your Energy: How to Beat Age-Related Weight Gain and Feel Fit Again

“When I was younger, I could eat whatever and never gain a pound. Now I gain weight just looking at a piece of cake.” Sound familiar? If it does, you’re not alone. Many people feel the frustrating effects of age-related weight gain, and while some of it is due to...

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!
