Burn Boot Camp — Local services in Falls Church

I have had such a good experience at Burn Boot Camp Falls Church and would recommend to any age or skill level!

My personal experience - I was struggling to find time to work out postpartum and finding a gym child watch that I would trust to watch my 3-month baby. Then I joined Burn and I was able to train hard for 45 minutes while knowing my son was being cared for. I've been going 4-5 times a week for the past few months and have loved it!

I highly recommend everyone to at least try it out! The trainers offer modifications for all ages, skill levels, and ability levels.

Also, they always offer some form of free trial, so don't hesitate to try it out!

Child Watch - There's a dedicated room with kids toys and crafts and I was able to park my stroller/bassinet in the room (so my baby could nap if needed). Child watch would help get my baby to sleep while I was working out if needed. Also, the child watch does not give bottles.

At this location, you do not need to register your kid ahead of time, just drop-off your kid before class. There was typically 2-4 adults on staff to watch the kids. All the staff are great, but we loved when Melany and Alicia were working - they have been such good caretakers for my baby and are great with kids.

Pricing - The gym is premium pricing - but worth every penny in my opinion. You are paying for the small group training experience, planned workouts, and high-quality childcare. The best way to get their pricing and package info is to go in-person or send an email because it's not posted on the website (since pricing varies regionally.) You can pay monthly, buy class packs for individual classes, and they offer discounts if you commit to 6-month and 12-month contracts.

Location - This Burn location is beautiful! It has huge windows (I love the natural light) and the bathrooms are great (with showers!)

Front Desk - I love how the front desk staff greets you by name and are super friendly. Shout-out to Keke and Mari for...

Update: 2 years later and I’m still a member at this gym. Everything mentioned below is still true and I’d highly recommend for anyone looking to up their fitness. Parking lot can get very crowded on Saturday camps.

The Burn Boot Camp Falls Church location is huge and clean. The entire gym is larger than most Burns and you never feel crowded. There is plenty of space to perform workouts on the floating floor (foam underfloor) which keeps my joints happy! The gym floor and bathrooms are always clean and fresh. Someone is always vacuuming the floor between camps to make sure it's ready for the next group. The BA staff and trainers are extremely welcoming and helpful. They know everyone's name (which is rare at a gym) and truly encourage you to reach your goals. You feel welcomed walking in the door. A true "extra" in my opinion in the body scan machine that's available to members. It measures weight, body fat, bone weight, water weight, lean muscle mass in each limb and trunk, and probably more that I'm not remembering. The print out will track not only that days numbers, but also give you graphs showing previously scans if you've used the machine before. It's a fabulous way to see progress whatever one's goals are (muscle gain, fat loss, balancing out a weaker limb). Would recommend Burn for anyone regardless of fitness level. Workouts are tailored to an...

I generally enjoy Burn, but I had a challenging experience this morning. As someone who travels frequently and attends different Burns, I’m used to the process. However, this particular location is tricky to find for newcomers, as you need to take an elevator at the back of the building up to the 2nd floor, which is also shared with residents and a bank at the front. This caused me to arrive a little late, and there wasn't anyone at the front desk to assist with the liability waiver.

Kristen, the trainer, had already started the warm-up, so I tried to find a good moment to ask for help. When I got the chance to ask, she seemed rushed and dismissive. When she was able to assist me, I had trouble accessing the forms, and everyone was well into the workout by the time I was given the okay to join. While I understand that it can be difficult to accommodate late arrivals and only have one person available to help, the interaction was discouraging. If it had been my first time, I may not have felt encouraged to return or considered a membership. I even considered heading to the Burn in Alexandria instead while I waited for Kristen to help.

This situation dampened my morning and drained the enthusiasm and energy I had felt about attending a new Burn and working out...
