5 Simple Ways to Stay in Shape This Fall
Because hibernating is for bears up in Auburn, not you!
Fall in Rocklin is a glorious time. Pumpkin spice is everywhere, the weather is perfect, and it’s so much easier to motivate yourself when you’re not sweating the moment you step outside. But with the holidays around the corner (we’re looking at you, Halloween candy), it’s important to stay active so you don’t roll into winter feeling sluggish. Here are five easy ways to keep in shape this fall—without sacrificing all those cozy autumn vibes.
1. Take Advantage of Cooler Weather
We’re not in the dog days of summer anymore, which means it’s prime time to get outside and move! Rocklin, Lincoln, and Roseville are packed with parks, trails, and scenic routes perfect for a brisk walk, jog, or even some outdoor yoga. Quarry Park in Rocklin is a hidden gem for a fall hike or a power walk with friends. Just 30 minutes of fresh air can boost your mood and burn calories. Plus, you’ll have some great views to distract you from the burn.
2. Join a Fitness Class
Fall is the perfect time to shake up your fitness routine and try something new. At Shred 27, we have a variety of options that fit perfectly into a busy schedule. Our 27-minute HIIT classes pack a punch and can fit into even the busiest day (because, honestly, we know you’ve got things to do). There’s something about the energy of a group class that makes you push a little harder and maybe laugh a little more—because sweating alone is so last season.
3. Set Mini Challenges
Fall can be a hectic time—school is in full swing, work picks up, and the holidays are sneaking closer. Set yourself a fitness goal to keep moving through it all. It could be as simple as walking 10,000 steps a day, completing a certain number of workouts in a month, or mastering a new yoga pose.
Even better, why not join our Spooktacular Challenge? It’s completely free and open to anyone! Starting on October 31, this challenge is designed to help you stay active and have fun all season long. Whether you’re a regular or new to the gym, the challenge is a great way to stay motivated.
Sign up now here through our landing page, and once you’re in, you’ll get access to our app and all the challenge details. Crush your goals, earn some bragging rights, and keep your fall fitness on track—all while having a little spooky fun.
Reward yourself with something seasonal—a cozy scarf or that pumpkin spice latte—after you hit those milestones. Small wins make staying consistent way more fun!
4. Don’t Skip Strength Training
As the weather cools down, it’s tempting to stick to cardio, but strength training is key—especially as we age. Not only does it help tone muscles, but it also supports bone health and metabolism. If you’re feeling gymtimidation (yes, it’s a real thing!), we get it. Try our Small Group Personal Training sessions—they’re welcoming, and perfect for beginners or anyone who wants to feel strong and empowered.
5. Keep It Social
Fall is all about gatherings, so why not make fitness social too? Invite friends for a walk in the park, a weekend hike, or a Saturday group fitness class. Shred 27’s community is big on making workouts fun and social—come for the sweat, stay for the laughs. And let’s be honest, everything’s better with a little accountability. Get your friends or family on board, and suddenly staying in shape feels a lot less like work and a lot more like hanging out.
Whether you’re a fitness newbie or a seasoned pro, fall is the perfect time to make movement a priority. Stay consistent, keep it fun, and mix things up! If you’re in Rocklin or nearby, come see us at Shred 27, where we believe workouts should be short, effective, and a little bit addictive. Because why wait until January to start feeling your best?
Happy fall—now go get those steps in!
