“I Don’t Even Know What I’m Supposed to Eat Anymore.” (Let’s Fix That.)

So I was reading through some of the feedback from our recent member survey, and one word kept jumping off the page: Nutrition. Not just what to eat. But how to feed your family without losing your mind (and how to actually feed yourself, too). Especially when your body is changing. Let me tell you […]

Why You Keep “Failing” at Diets (And What Actually Works)

There’s something deeply personal about food. You know the feeling. One bite of warm chicken noodle soup, a slice of your mom’s banana bread, or even a simple grilled cheese… and suddenly, you’re back in a memory. Grandma’s kitchen. A holiday with family. That late-night college study session. Food isn’t just fuel. It’s emotion. It’s […]

Better Sleep, Better Brain: Why We All Need to Prioritize Rest

As I sat here this morning, sipping coffee and flipping through some journal articles, I came across a recent study linking sleep quality in our 40s and 50s to brain health, specifically, cognitive decline. A quick glance at the clock displays 3:26 AM. Crap. If you’re anything like me, you probably struggle with sleep. At […]

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 restrictive diet, or follow a […]

How to Stop Holiday Weight Gain Before It Compounds

Have you found yourself sneaking an extra glance in the mirror since the holidays? Don’t worry—you’re not alone. I’ll admit it: I’ve done it too.

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!
