Why Your Workouts Stopped Working After 40 (It’s Not What You Think)

If you find your workouts not working after 40, and you have given a program everything you had only to end up right back where you started, I want to tell you something most trainers will never say out loud. The problem was never your discipline. I’m Jonathan, a registered...

She Weighed the Same After 6 Weeks But Dropped Two Pant Sizes. Here’s What Actually Happened.

By Jonathan Moomey, RN | Owner, Shred 27 | Women’s Personal Training in Rocklin, CA I sat down with one of my members this week for her six-week Health Blueprint Session. She’s 62. She walked in with that look I’ve seen before. Somewhere between proud and confused. She’d been showing...

The Real reason it has never stuck

You have been here before. You catch yourself in the mirror, or you try on a pair of shorts, and something clicks. That is it. Time to make a change. And for about 48 hours, the motivation is real. Then your brain starts doing what brains do. It does not...

Why Willpower Isn’t Your Problem (And What Actually Gets Results)

By Jonathan Moomey, MBA, MSN | Shred 27 Fitness Studio | Rocklin, CA You already know what to do. Exercise more. Eat better. Keep an eye on your blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood sugar. Manage your stress. None of that is new information. You’ve known it for years. So why...

You Fell Off the Fitness Wagon. Here’s How to Get Back On (Without Starting Over).

Tell me if this sounds like you. You fell off the fitness wagon (and not just a little). You know it. Your body knows it. And somewhere in the back of your mind, you either know exactly what to do and can’t make yourself do it, or you’ve been off...

You Used to Move Like a Kid. Here’s How to Get It Back

Yesterday I covered the morning block at the studio. At the end of a couple sessions I ran everyone through some basic mobility tests. Nothing fancy, just some self-identifying stuff you can do at home to get a sense of where your body actually is right now. The expressions said...

Your Body Didn’t Forget You

You missed a week. Maybe two. Life showed up uninvited. A graduation, a vacation, an injury, a season that went completely sideways, and your workouts were the first thing to go. Now you’re standing at the edge of the gym wondering how much damage you’ve done. Here’s the truth: probably...

The Floor Test That Predicts Heart Health (And What to Do If You Fail It)

There’s a test you can take right now. No doctor, no equipment, no copay. Just you and the floor. Researchers followed more than 4,200 adults between the ages of 46 and 75 for over a decade. What they tracked was simple: could these people lower themselves to the floor and...

GLP-1 Medications Are Quieting More Than Hunger. Here’s What the Latest Research Means for You

You’ve tracked your food. You’ve done the workouts. You’ve said no to the things you love (over and over) and still felt like something in your brain was working against you. That pull. That voice. That craving that shows up right when you think you’ve got it handled. You’re not...

Why the Scale is Lying to You And the Number That Actually Predicts How Long You’ll Live

There’s a reason we don’t care much about the scale. Honestly? I don’t trust those damn things. But more importantly, the number it shows you isn’t telling you the right story. And for women especially, chasing that number can pull your focus away from something far more powerful. Every 30...

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.

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!
