The Loneliness Fix You Won’t Find on a Treadmill

At Shred 27 in Rocklin, CA, we talk a lot about movement, nutrition, and building habits that make you stronger. But there’s another part of your health that doesn’t get enough attention and it’s quietly wrecking people’s energy, motivation, and even their physical health. Loneliness. I know, not exactly a...

If you’ve ever said, “I just don’t have time to work out,” this one’s for you. At Shred 27, we’re all about short, efficient, results-driven workouts designed for busy people who don’t want to live in the gym. But a recent study caught my attention that takes this idea to the next...

Weekend Nutrition: How to Eat Like a Human Without Wrecking Your Progress

Let’s talk weekends. You know, that magical 48-hour stretch where fat loss plans go to die. You know the drill. You’re crushing it all week: salads for lunch, workouts checked off, water bottle glued to your hand. Then Saturday rolls around, and your spouse slides a stack of warm blueberry...

If You Don’t Sacrifice for What You Want, What You Want Becomes the Sacrifice

Every dream has a price tag. The question is: are you willing to pay it? When I was younger, I thought I wanted to be a doctor. It sounded noble. Impressive. Purpose-driven. (Also, let’s be honest… doctors make decent money.) But then I looked at the price tag. Ten to...

Why “More Workouts” Isn’t the Answer and What Women Are Doing Instead

I was listening to a podcast this week with a few female gym owners talking about women’s health and one of them said something that was really interesting. She said, “So many women think they just need more workouts when the real answer is different workouts.” That hit home. Because I see it all the...

Why Rest Days Are the Secret Weapon for Those Who Want Results

Have you ever found yourself on a roll, workouts clicking, energy high, feeling unstoppable, only to realize you’ve quietly worked out six or seven days in a row without a real break…Guilty. That was me this week.It hit me (literally in the foot). I’d been sneaking in “extra” workouts whenever...

Why Walking Might Be the Most Underrated Workout

A lot of the time when I sit down for a consultation, someone tells me, “I used to run… but I just can’t anymore.” Their knees ache. Their back protests. Their lungs feel like they’re going to explode.And their body just says, “Nah, we don’t do that anymore.” And honestly?That’s...

Stop Letting the Back of a Box Boss You Around

My wife is on a major natural food kick right now. If it’s got an ingredient label longer than a Safeway receipt, she’s out. She reads every label, side-eyes anything that sounds like it came out of a lab, and basically treats “Red 40” like a four-letter word. Meanwhile, I’m...

The Real Weight That’s Holding You Back (and It’s Not the Dumbbells)

I don’t know about you, but lately I’ve caught myself Googling “how to handle stress” more than I’d like to admit. Between chaotic politics, rising prices (seriously, when did eggs become luxury items?), work deadlines, family obligations, and that constant background hum of everything—it’s a lot. And when life feels like...

The Hidden Secret to Crushing Your Protein Goals (and It’s Sitting in Your Pantry)

I’m going to be honest. I’ve been beating the protein-packed oatmeal drum pretty hard this week. Like, “your neighbor who just discovered CrossFit” hard. Maybe it’s because I spent years skipping breakfast (intermittent fasting, anyone?) and am now rediscovering the joy of warm, creamy oats. Or maybe it’s because I’ve...

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!
