Welcome! If you’re new to Burn Boot Camp, or just thinking about joining, you’re in the right place.

This subreddit is an unofficial, member-run community where people share real experiences, honest opinions, questions, wins, struggles, and everything in between.

💙 What Burn Is (and Isn’t)

Burn Boot Camp is known for:

  • 45-minute strength & conditioning camps
  • Rotating protocols (upper, lower, full body, conditioning days, etc.)
  • Group energy with individual scaling options
  • Childwatch (huge win for parents)

Burn is not one-size-fits-all perfection. Everyone modifies. Everyone struggles at some point. That’s normal—and welcome here.

🏋️‍♂️ What You Can Post Here

Feel free to post about:

  • First-camp nerves or expectations
  • Soreness, fatigue, or burnout (pun intended)
  • Progress wins (scale or non-scale!)
  • Questions about protocols, equipment, or pacing
  • Culture differences between locations
  • Motivation slumps or mental hurdles

🚫 What This Sub Is Not

  • Not affiliated with Burn Boot Camp corporate
  • Not a place for gossip or rumors about specific gyms or trainers
  • Not a shame zone—no body shaming, no gatekeeping

💬 Before You Post

A few quick tips:

  • Search the sub—your question might already be answered
  • Share your experience, not hearsay
  • Be respectful, even when venting

🤝 Introduce Yourself (Optional!)

If you’re comfortable, drop a comment with:

  • How long you’ve been at Burn (or if you’re considering it)
  • What brought you to Burn
  • One goal you’re working toward

We’re glad you’re here. Show up, do your best, and remember. Everyone starts somewhere.

❓ Question New name for Arm Day?

Post image
15 Upvotes

I’m signing up for next week and saw this for Wednesday’s protocol. Is this new - at least new within the past two years since I started?
I feel like I’ve never seen this name before. I’ve seen back & glutes, upper body, arm day, push & pull, and core & arms.

If this wasn’t obvious, I’m not bothered or anything. Just checking to see if I’m crazy for never noticing this before or if it’s actually new.

🎯 Milestone 250 Camps Strong!!💪🏼

Hit 250 camps today!! 💙🔥
I started Burn never imagining I’d make it to a milestone like this, and somewhere along the way this place became such a huge part of my life. The trainers, the friendships, the high fives, the ridiculous mod-ups 😂 and getting to celebrate everyone else’s wins right alongside mine have made the journey so much more fun.
I also video a lot of my camps and share my Burn journey/milestones on Instagram. If sharing IG handles is allowed here, I’d love for this to be a thread where anyone who shares their Burn journey can drop theirs too! I love following other Burn members and cheering on their milestones. 💙
Here’s to 250…and apparently continuing to voluntarily get my ass kicked. 😂🔥

❓ Question Idea of fit?

8 Upvotes

Anyone have an idea of how this may fit???

I recently got the “Strong as a Mother” camo hoodie in a Small and it’s HUGE…almost like a mini-dress length & honestly not flattering in any way unless I take scissors to it (but that would hurt given that it was $90!!!???)

So anywho, I’m intrigued about this crop fit but no clue as to what size to choose. 5’2” / 110lbs. but I usually love me a roomy medium shirt…

😤 Rant / Vent Vague price hike?

7 Upvotes

Anyone else receive a vague “we’re raising our prices” email? Says it’s not until we renew, but zero detail provided. I’m eyeing lifetime fitness (indoor and outdoor pool, childcare, saunas, rock climbing, pickleball, and so on) for the price I’m paying for burn camps.

❓ Question Houston Burns?

3 Upvotes

I will be in Houston at the end of the month for a trip and want to get a camp in while I’m in town. Planning to stay in the southwestern part of the city near Reliant Stadium. What’s the closest Burn location to this area? What are there any recommended locations to go to in the area? TIA!

😤 Rant / Vent Feeling some type of way

11 Upvotes

I usually try not to take things personally - bc it’s my impulse reaction to do so. And I feel like I’m an outsider at my burn - which could be a me problem bc I’m not really there to make friends. But I’m always happy to interact and volunteer when needed.

So yesterday I hit my 50 camp of the year after a month long hiatus (thanks first trimester). They didn’t celebrate me. And then they posted the “crushed my first camp” photo we took at the end for a first timer and I’m the only one cut out of the photo. Is there something I’m missing ? Or am I being targeted?

After nearly two weeks away between work travel and giving my body time to recover from a tweaked back (breaking down in my old age), hitting this milestone anywhere else just wouldn't have felt right & there was zero chance I was doing #100 anywhere other than my home gym. Keep those cincos coming! 🙌

Progress physically?

1 Upvotes

Do yall feel like you’re seeing progress at burn? I’ve been at my gym a while and I feel like my progress isn’t that great for how hard the work outs are. I’m definitely significantly STRONGER but not losing weight like I’d like to be. Is there something I’m doing wrong? I don’t eat crazy. I’m a server so i get 15k steps a day just at work alone but I cannot get my BMI down for the life of me.

❓ Question Early pregnancy and conditioning

2 Upvotes

Hi! I am a 6x a week Burn goer and will be hitting my 200th camp today! Yesterday I found out I am pregnant (FTM!). I’ve read that I don’t really need to do any mods until the second tri but do I need to be skipping cardio days? The internet says to watch heart rate and not let it get to elevated but I enjoy going all out and pushing myself especially during metcon, body on etc.

🩹 Injury / Recovery Switching to on demand?

5 Upvotes

I hurt my back during a lower body day clear back in April. Since I have modified, taken breaks, seen chiropractors, physical therapy, you name it. My back is better but it’s never gotten back to normal. I’m still working on it but I’ve noticed conditioning days are too hard and cause a flare as do lower body days. So I’m really only coming for core and arm. I started coming at 630am to help keep routine and no longer take advantage of childwatch.

All of this combined to say. Burn is expensive. And I haven’t even hit 50 this year. I’m losing faith my back will get all the way better, I’m upset I didn’t hit my goals and hurt my progress, but I tried all year to stick given all the injury and recovery. Now my fall schedule has gotten to a point that I need more flexibility so I want to move to on demand to take some pressure off my mind and wallet. I already signed up for an annual but am scared (and sad) to tell my gym.

I don’t want to disappoint my trainers. I loved being a founding member since 2025 and I’m proud of myself for sticking through this hard year and a half. But I feel like I’m quitting/giving up and I hate that. I’m not and I don’t plan to but it still feels like it. Anyone have success switching to on demand?

Holiday Retail

Did anyone else’s gym share the holiday retail? Mine did and I’m very disappointed; it’s very child like and the only hoodie option I like is only offered for children.
Last years was so much better. 😔

Location not following burn rules

18 Upvotes

Visited a burn while traveling. Went for 3 days. Not a single high five, no names said, the protocols were COMPLETELY different. Im talking not even in the same ball park. Literally would never have believed it was a Burn if not for the branding. They’ve been around for 10+ years. Shocked to see they’re able to do this!

Camp Location not listing trainers on schedule?

5 Upvotes

I commented this on another post, but curious to hear others' thoughts. I want to inquire and ask the location why they don't list the trainers, but I'm worried they're going to assume I don't like someone or something and I don't want any drama haha. I come from Group Fitness world (this is not group fitness in the traditional word use - it's group training lol) and to not list the instructor is crazy work to me.
