What Fixing Three Toilets Taught Me About Fitness

Let me start by saying this: I hate housework. Anything involving a wrench, screwdriver, or YouTube tutorial labeled “easy fix” is my nightmare. I’m probably the least “handy” guy you’ll ever meet, and I’ve spent years perfecting the art of paying or bribing other people to do that kind of...

Sleep Better Tonight: The Surprisingly Simple Habit That Helps You Fall Asleep Faster

Have you ever laid down at night, totally wiped out, ready for some much-needed sleep… only to have your brain start playing the “let’s think about everything you need to do tomorrow” game? Yeah, me too. Last night, I was ready to crash. Lights out, blanket tucked, all set for...

Well… That’s Nuts (In the Best Way Possible)

This week’s Clean Eating Topic of the Week is nuts. The crunchy little powerhouses that somehow manage to be both demonized and praised in every nutrition conversation ever. I can already hear it:“Wait… nuts? Aren’t those like, crazy high in calories?” You’re not wrong. They are. But here’s the twist: those...

Why Most Goals Fail (and How to Outsmart Your Own Plan)

This might sound familiar… You set a goal. You’re motivated. You’ve got the best of intentions.But a few weeks later, the plan starts to crumble like a protein bar left in a hot car. We’ve all been there. Whether it’s losing 10 pounds by Thanksgiving, getting stronger, or finally showing...

How getting strong Today Lasts Into Your 70s

I think about this a lot: how much do I live in the moment versus how much do I prepare for the future? Do I save money or finally splurge on that trip? Push hard in the gym or give myself a pass? Eat the salad or crush taco night...

Raise Your Floor: Why Consistency Beats Perfection in Fitness

I’m a big believer in the long game. In fitness, just like in life, it’s the small stuff that adds up until one day you look back and say, “Huh, how did I get here?” Think about a retirement account. You toss in a little every paycheck, and at first it...

The 7-Minute Hip Fix That Saved My Back (And Could Save Yours Too)

It’s no exaggeration when I say this 7-minute video changed my life. Now, before you roll your eyes and think, “Yeah right, here comes the infomercial…” hear me out. If you’re anything like me, you’ve got tight hips or low back issues that show up at the worst possible times. For me,...

Step It Up: How a Faster Walk Can Transform Your Health

This week’s training study basically told me I need to step it up. Yep, I went there. Dad joke before coffee. If you’ve been around here for a while, you know I’m a big believer in NEAT. Those little movements throughout the day that add up way more than we...

Coffee, Gut Health, and Why Your Morning Cup Might Be Doing More Than You Think

Every now and then, I’ll come across a study that makes me rethink my habits. Sometimes it means changing something I’ve been doing for years. But this week? Total opposite. I stumbled on research that gave me a green light to keep one of my favorite habits. Being a coffee...

Rest Isn’t the Opposite of Progress

I was catching up with a buddy the other day. We check in now and then about training, and he mentioned he wasn’t feeling great. Nothing major, just that run-down, “kids-brought-home-something-from-school” kind of feeling. Normally, his move would be: slam some pre-workout, push through, and hope for the best. But...

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!
