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 like a champion? That pendulum […]

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 think. Walking to the mailbox, […]

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 this time I told him, “Jeremy… […]

Forced Rest Days: Why Taking a Break Might Be the Strongest Move You Can Make

I’ll be honest. Rest days are hard for me. Always have been. Years ago, after a stomach surgery, I was told to take 6–8 weeks off from the gym. I was young, stubborn, and thought I was invincible. Within days I was back under a barbell. You can probably guess how that ended. I re-injured […]

Why Your Muscles Hate You After Leg Day (and How to Bounce Back Faster)

You know that special brand of pain when you try to sit on the toilet the day after leg day? That’s DOMS (delayed onset muscle soreness). It’s basically your muscles reminding you that you did something hard and they’re not thrilled about it. The good news: you don’t have to hobble down stairs like you’re […]

Why Quick Fixes Don’t Work in Fitness (and What Actually Does)

Last week I started watching the new Netflix series about The Biggest Loser. My goodness I forgot how absolutely obsessed I was with that show back in the day. I’m talking full-on, glued-to-the-TV, “don’t bother me, it’s Jillian time” obsessed. There was just something about Jillian Michaels and Bob barking orders while contestants pushed through […]

Why the “Right Gym” Has More to Do with Your Life Than Your Address

I was at a ribbon-cutting for a new work location last week when a colleague I’ve known for a couple of years asked me one of those questions that always feels like a setup: “Hey, don’t you own Shred 27?” …Maybe? I said cautiously while looking over my shoulder. We laughed, but then she explained […]

Keep It Simple: How to Finally Build Fitness Habits That Stick

I hear it in consults all the time. And honestly? I’m guilty of it too. A wave of motivation hits, and suddenly we’re ready to change everything.Starting Monday, I’m eating clean, hitting the gym three times a week, walking 10,000 steps a day, drinking a gallon of water, sleeping eight hours a night, AND finally […]

How to Get Your Friends and Family to Love Training (Without Sounding Like a Gym Nerd)

If you’re like me, fitness isn’t just a hobby. It’s a full-on lifestyle. I love it so much, I went and bought a gym here in Rocklin, California. Yep, instead of saving for my kids’ college, I’m funding battle ropes and kettlebells. Priorities, right? You’d think that kind of passion would be contagious. That my […]

Why “Fun” Might Be the Most Underrated Fitness Strategy

“Have fun! It’s the only thing that will keep you going.” That’s what Arnold said in his newsletter this week. And honestly? It stopped me mid-scroll. Because after years of coaching women who’ve tried all the calorie-counting apps, meal-prepping plans, macro calculators, and magic supplements… it hit me: We’ve completely overcomplicated getting healthy. I’ve done […]

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.

Gabriel provides great instruction and works hard to ensure a good, safe workout.

Colleen Miller

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!
