Let me tell you about Jennifer.

She’d been showing up for HIIT classes here at Shred 27, giving it her all, sweating hard, and loving the energy. HIIT was doing its job providing great cardio, calorie burn, and fun community. But after a while, she started asking a question many people eventually face:

“What’s next?”

Jennifer realized she wanted more than just great workouts. She wanted to feel stronger. She wanted to build muscle, not just burn calories. So this summer, she stepped into our STRENGTH Small Group Personal Training program.

Here’s the thing, though… after her first four weeks, the results weren’t what she (or Coach Margie) hoped for.

Her body fat had dipped a little, but so did her muscle. Not exactly the win she was chasing.

And let’s be honest. That’s the point where most people throw in the towel. You know the story:
“Maybe this isn’t working for me.”
“I’ll just go back to what I was doing before.”
Or worse, “Maybe I’m just not cut out for this.”

But Jennifer didn’t quit.

Instead, she sat down with Coach Margie. They reviewed her progress, talked about nutrition, and made some small (but powerful) adjustments. They bumped up her lifting weights, dialed in her eating plan, and, most importantly, Jennifer stayed consistent.

And then it clicked.

In just 23 days, she gained over 2 pounds of muscle and dropped 1.7% body fat. That’s a dramatic shift in how she looked, felt, and moved.

The best part? Jennifer didn’t need to choose between HIIT or STRENGTH forever. She flowed into a strength cycle when her body needed it and then back into HIIT when her goals shifted again. That flexibility is built into how we do things at Shred 27. No stress, no long-term contracts, just smart training that matches your season of life.

Why Jennifer’s Story Matters for You

Progress isn’t always a straight line.
That first month might look “meh.” But with the right coaching and adjustments, your second month could be life-changing.
Training cycles matter.
You don’t need to pick one workout style and stick with it forever. The body thrives when you move between different styles of training. HIIT builds endurance and burns calories. STRENGTH builds muscle, protects your bones, and helps you age strong. Together, they’re a powerhouse combo.
Strength training isn’t optional.
Especially for women, lifting weights is the single best way to fight bone loss, preserve muscle, and keep your body moving well as you get older.
