After talking with some friends, we decided to stop by for a Saturday session. One of us had been here before, which is why we knew, but I think they have more information available on their Facebook page. Showed up at 850 for the 9am class that's free to the public! I was greeted and given info on where to find the bathroom, etc. to include signing a waiver since it was my first time. I believe they keep the waivers + your name in their database for future reference. I like that they also have a water bottle filling station versus just a regular water fountain. The employees were super kind. Overall, I actually enjoyed! It was group fitness with rotation that you only made through one round with for a total body workout. Closer to the end of the hour, we all went outside (since it was still nice) and did a few outbacks (sprints) in small groups. The music was good and the instructor was motivating. A little far for me, but I would make the drive to do the class with friends every now and again. Appreciated not being hounded to sign up for regular classes or anything. Come quick because the class fills up! read more

Burn Boot Camp Virginia Beach - Boot Camps Near Me - Virginia Beach, Virginia

Love this place definitely get a full-blown workout. If you don't live in Virginia Beach area go check out other locations.

I went into Burn Bootcamp with low expectations. I have attended group fitness classes before and while I've enjoyed them, they've never lasted. I've ultimately always considered myself a loner. This place is different. Have you ever had a rough day as a parent and/or employee and you just can't seem to do anything right? Go to burn. You'll have someone call you out for doing something right. You'll have someone high five you for giving your best effort. Guess what? At burn, your best is ALWAYS worthy of praise. Not only do the trainers root you on, you'll also find other classmates there who encourage you. In my 5 months of going, I've learned a lot about people who go here. Some are teachers, some are law enforcement, some are homemakers. A woman told me a story about losing her dad and nephew and she decided to get in better shape to run one more half marathon in his honor. I work out next to 20 year olds just starting their life and 65 year old grandmothers. It's truly my favorite place to be when I need a reminder to feel good about myself. read more

Will it get you fit? Yes! You work out, they have different days dedicated to different objectives (arms, speed, total body, etc). There is a trainer walking around telling you what to do at each station. The music is loud, the class is fast paced and under an hour. It can be scaled for the most part based on your fitness level. They have classes 6 days a week and a huge variety of class times. Will it be the right fit? Eh- it wasn't for me. I did the thing that I'm sure gyms love- I paid them $100 and only went once. Ouch- I know! I should have tried to do a preview class, but when a friend told me she was going to do it I hopped on an impulse buy and got one of their 6 week raise the bar memberships. The membership started with a focus session which might have been cool, but they just had such a huge amount of new members needing the same focus session that it was just rushed and robotic. I did really like the motivation behind the health and nutrition tips. I was worried that they would try to sell me shakes, since I see that looks like a national objective and they have them on display when you first walk in. She didn't even mention them. She also didn't give me any other bogus fear-diet advice- just no added sugars when possible. Solid basic advice. Then I went right into my first and last class. I was shocked how many women fit into the class. (oh yeah- this is all women. Very girl-power) It was packed, but there was enough space and equipment for everyone. She told us to get into groups of three. I was solo and I felt like the last kid picked in gym class when I looked around and everyone grouped up with familiar faces. The workouts were pretty standard from other group fitness low-equipment classes I've been in. Unfortunately, since the class was so big when I had a question about my form or if I didn't feel like I was doing the exercise right at all it was impossible to get the instructors attention without getting EVERYONE'S attention. It wasn't that serious so I kept quiet. The instructor was stereotypically motivating, which I usually enjoy. I'm all about it when the cheese factor is turned up! This didn't feel authentic though, even the regulars weren't really giving that vibe back. One example- she told us at least four times to high five our partners, or someone near by... but no one really was into high fives. We all just kind of looked at each other. Ultimately, I would have returned if for no other reason than I didn't want to waste my $100 "donation." It was just a little too far for me. I need exercise to be convenient. I like to plan my day so I do minimal driving, without onsite showers or a basic spot to change and freshen up it just wasn't a good fit for my routine. I should have done some research to see if I could have just tried a class before making my donation, but here we are. My friend who talked me into trying it, enjoyed it. She has been going a few times a week. She won't be continuing with her membership, because it is out of her budget. Oh well- #1 piece of advice. Try it before you buy it- make sure it is the right fit for the workout vibe you're looking for. read more

During covid the owner, Scott, wanted to charge full price. $120/month. Then he said 80% so $100/month. For videos which you can get for free. Then, if you wanted to put your membership on hold, because you know, you can't use it, it was $50/month!! No time added to the end of your membership, just paying for something you cannot use while most people are getting furloughed. Most gyms immediately froze all payments because it was the right thing to do. Not this one. When I asked Scott to pay $0/month for something I couldn't use he did do that, finally, after weeks & multiple attempts at emails and messages asking him to do the right thing during a worldwide pandemic. He also banned me from the gym for life. It wasn't just me he did this to, there's a whole group of people like this. read more

Burn has been a great fit for me so far. I started going in September and still continue. I have fallen off the gym wagon for sure some weeks but whenever I come back everyone is so welcoming. It starts right when we check in. Tracey is amazing. She's always ready to give my son a fist bump or high five. There's on- site child care which is definitely a must for me. Everyone in that room is so good to me and my son. When we first started he screamed and cried and I couldn't leave him. But we slowly worked our way into me being able to leave him and he actually says "bye" to me or tries to walk in by himself. He loves it. And I love the fact he's so confident in there. That's huge for me especially since I'm a SAHM and he doesn't go to daycare or school just yet. Going into the workouts- the warm ups usually kick my butt. Hayley and Krista are amazing. There's two new coaches who I unfortunately haven't had the chance to really work with- because of that falling off the gym wagon but Hayley and Krista are amazing at doing mods for me for the workouts. I should also note that prior to this I hadn't worked out in about 15 or so years. But I can actually run now and I have lost weight! I haven't changed my diet too much since I don't eat fast/ processed food too often but since starting in September I've lost 8lbs. And again. I have not been consistently working out either. There is a lot of "girl power" in there but it feels sincere. The classes are only 45 minutes but it definitely gets you going. Some days I wish it was longer. But most days after 45 minutes my body is done for the day! But I'm so glad I've been going. I can actually keep up with my son. Prior I was definitely in struggle city with trying to keep up with his energy. He can still run circles around me but at least I'm not totally winded! read more

I have worked out at many gyms in southern VA Beach- but nothing that can compare to the experience at Burn! I never thought I'd be in better shape now than when I was 25! But Burn does it- it pushes you, motivates you- lifts you up! I love how much I have learned about what I am capable of! I feel empowered after every workout and the best part of the experience is the community of supportive women, including the amazing trainers! read more

A fantastic workout in a positive environment. Be prepared to sweat and push your limits in a great way. Wonderful, supportive trainers have built a lovely community within the gym. Last summer when I started "shopping" gyms in the area, I stopped once I found Burn. read more

Overall the gym was okay, nothing special. You go in whatever time you want to workout, they do warm up then workout for about 45 minutes. But honestly it's not worth the price. I think it was about $120 a month and there's no showers, personal rooms to stretch, lockers... nothing. If you need someone to hold your hand and tell you "you can do it" then it may benefit you. But really you could go to one-life, 9rounds, anytime fitness, ymca and get so much more for an extremely cheaper price. read more

I've shopped ALL the gyms. For years. I tried Burn because a friend of a friend loved it and dropped some pounds. I went...On a Saturday at 9am when it's ALWAYS FREE! Then I did a FREE 14 day trial. I talked myself out of it. All the excuses. Not convenient, more money than One Life, blah blah blah... I continued to gym shop. Never feeling that love that I had for Burn. Jan 1, 2018 I joined for 6 weeks with their Raise the Bar promotion. I went 6 days a week for 6 weeks. Childcare included FYI. At the end of the six weeks I couldn't imagine my life ANY other way!!! I joined!!! It's been over a year now and I still love it! My kids too! I drive 15-20 mins to Burn Boot Camp. It's not even close to my house. Come to find out a lot of the people I workout with drive the distance because of their love for Burn! I've met women, been encouraged by women and encouraged others. Most of the time not even knowing it. Try Burn, you'll get hooked! read more

I've been in your standard gym, I've had a personal trainer, I've been in group fitness classes, and I've even tried similar gyms with the same concept in workouts. Absolutely nothing compares to Burn. This is a community, of mostly women, who are being supported in their health/fitness journey by phenomenal trainers. Childcare is included, as well as individual focus meetings to talk about personal goals, nutrition and to measure progress. There is no age or weight or fitness level required. They are sensitive to injuries, both old and new. There is a modification for everything. This is the place to be if you are looking for a lifestyle change in heath and fitness. read more

Burn has been the motivation I need. I've never been able to stick with regular gyms or at home workout routines. The trainers truly get to know each individual person and their goals, limitations, injuries etc. but still find ways to push you, and the women are extremely motivational. I've been a very satisfied member for 2+ years now. read more

I have done many different workouts over the past 18 years, when fitness became a priority for me. Over the past 4 years I have lost my path a little with having babies, managing motherhood and full time work. Unfortunately I started to put myself last on my list. After the new year started I knew I needed a change, something to re-spark my love for working out. I have just finished the 6 week raise the bar challenge at Burn and here i am going through week 7, as a member! I absolutely love this gym. The trainers, the programming and the people that show up every day to work out. I know I'm just getting my feet wet, but I can feel the community and my passion return. I can not thank Hayley and the Burn family enough. Excited for what is to come! read more

I have been going to burn boot camp since opening day. I did the 30 day trial and since day one I was hooked. I will admit, I did have a gym membership to a well known gym in the area (cough, one life, cough) I tried to go regularly, do the free classes they offer but I felt like I was not getting where I wanted to be no matter how long/hard I worked out. The workouts at the gym were the same every single week, So there was nothing to look forward to, no new workouts and the instructors never walked around to tell you if what you were doing was correct. I would also try to go the the different workout equipments they had and the weight room but I felt very intimidated every time I went because I felt like people around would look at me like I didn't know what I was doing, as if they were judging me. Then one day BurnBootCamp came up on my news feed on Facebook. . . I'm not going to lie but I was very nervous the first day. I thought it would be the same gym "atmosphere/vibe" that I've been use to for the past year but I was I wrong! Since the first day I walked into my first class at 5:30am (they have different classes at different times but this time works best for my schedule) I knew I found my workout location. The atmosphere at burn bootcamp is so welcoming, the work outs are amazing, the 5 weeks I have gone to burn I saw more progress in my body than 4months at a gym. The workouts are 45min each (the work outs are never the same, each day is something new!) By the first 10min you are already covered in sweat. The trainer (Aaron) always encourages to give high five to the girls around you to keep motivating each other, when you work out together you feel like you are a team, you don't feel left out or judged. The workouts and atmosphere is not the only best part, they also offer free unlimited nutrition advice! When you schedule your meeting with the trainer they take measurements, weight, body fat that way they keep track of your progress, they also help you out and give advice on what you should eat! On top of all that they also offer FREE childcare, I don't have kids but if I could take my dogs I would LOL. After my 30 day trial ended I decided to sign up for a whole year (I loved it that much) and Will sign up for another year after that year is over!! read more
