Pretty please and thanks

I know Burn is a corporation and a cult and a moneymaker and run by bros and whatever else AND I am STILL compelled to post my gratitude for whatever spirit guide or ancestor or athiest coincidence fairy directed me to it.

20 years from now I'll look back and say that I was actually young at this time. But 20 years ago I thought this age was really old and it kinda is. 58. I'm so old that in my elementary school, it was normal to have kids pick teams. The gym teacher would select two athletic kids as captains and they would take turns picking from the rest of us, until there were just two of us left: me and one other girl. Sometimes I would be last, sometimes she would be last. The days that she was last were really good days.

I bump into poles when I walk. I still tie my shoes the baby way, "bunny ears" or whatever it's called. Whoever gave me muscles gave me half-servings.

But!! omg. I've been doing burn for over a year. And I can FEEL these half-portion muscles now. I can JUMP ROPE. wtf? who even am i now? Anyway, yeah. I really like Burn.

I know this has been posted before but it really just made me mad today during camp. I go to the same camp time almost everyday and the trainers call out the same 5 people the entire camp…. Like we know that homegirl/boy does everything perfectly!!! Please learn someone else’s name!

I love the workouts. This just got me riled up today after hearing the same persons name 10 times in one camp!

Bodyweight conditioning today really took me out. I was doing okay until we got to about the second unstack and it hit me. I kept going just took breaks but when we got to the finisher which for us was a half mile run and then squat star jumps I was unwell. My heart rate was up to 213 when I checked afterwards and it has never been this high - is that abnormal? When I was running I also was seeing stars and definitely thought I was going to pass out. Any tips to prevent this from happening again I have not had this issue before and i’ve been going since January.

Hey guys!

I’m 8 camps in and my knees HURT. Like throbbing when i’m sitting down and it hurts to squat down. I’m so upset because I want to keep going but don’t want to overdo it. I’m 29, 8 months postpartum. I have a 2.5 year old as well and haven’t worked out like this in awhile. I have been pushing myself but regretting going so hard now. Any advice or tips?! Should I take a long break? I don’t know what to do.

Any intel??

Hi everyone! I’m new to burn and currently doing a trial. The last two days I’ve worked out at the 5:30am class before work (I’m a nurse) but I am crashing hard. The 5:30 class is the only one I can attend on days I work because there are no classes available after working 12 hours. Anyways, I’m crashing HARD. Any tips for nurses who workout before work? I’m sore, tired, and still have a toddler to take care of. Help 😴

Our FP just posted in fb that they can no longer call yoga yoga so it has to be called motion?? Anyone know what that's about?

I just bought the Afterburn whey powder, Creatine and Collagen today.

I am already familiar with protein powder. I add it to some foods and my morning shake that I drink right after my workout.

But I know nothing about collagen and creatine. Besides also adding it to my shake (which seems like a LOT of powder to add between the 3) how else can I incorporate it into my daily routine? Do I take it before or after a workout to make it more effective?

And what changes in my body should I hope to see from these?

Has this been posted yet? Traveling for work and want to mentally prepare.

Sadly, I’m going to have to stop going in-person since I’m headed back to work after being on maternity leave. I absolutely love burn but the in-person class times don’t work for my work schedule :( is burn on demand just as good?

I just joined burn and I like to schedule my workout a week or two in advance since I’m balancing daycare pick ups and Pilates. I’m having a hard time with creating my schedule, because the protocols are only released for the upcoming week. Is there any predictability in what days they do strength versus cardio? Do they recycle protocols after a month or so or is it completely random?

Do any of you wear gloves on strength days? What are some good brands? I’m at the point where I can’t lift any higher for farmers carry/deadlift because I’m developing calluses on my hands 😅😅

Hello! Looking for recommendations for the best Burn to visit in the Charlotte NC area? Will likely only have time to visit 1, I see there are a few! Thanks! 🔥

I saw Burn corporate post some really cute pieces with a mention of September timeframe? There was a strappy tank/bra and long sleeve striped burn crewneck. Anyone know how to order these or will individual locations eventually do sign ups?

Anyone know the June protocol? I like to plan a head.
