Burn Boot Camp — Local services in Saint Charles

A good friend of mine reached out in the summer of 2023 and told me that I had to try this place called Burn. She knew that I was someone who already had a routine with working out, but always have loved a challenge. I have played sports my whole life and have always loved being a part of a team. When I "agreed" to give it a try, I honestly felt like I was doing her a favor. I didn't see myself as someone who would enjoy going to a gym when I had my own gym and routine in my basement...but from the moment I walked in and was greeted by name and with a smile by then burn ambassador, Liza, now head trainer at St. Charles, and then pushed and challenged during the workout, I knew this place was different. When the St. Charles location opened later that year, I made the switch because it was closer to home. I have been SO happy and am now an avid 5:30am camper. The energy, inspiration, and encouragement in that space is unmatched. I have formed amazing friendships and have been continually challenged over the past nearly 1.5years. I honestly can't imagine a better way to start my day than with a jamming playlist and Liza or Stacy yelling, I mean, encouraging me to push myself just 10% more. These workouts are not just physical, but mental. I have gained so much mental strength and I owe it all to the space that made that happen. I now look to the people I met at Burn to give me support not just in my fitness journey, but in my life. I am SO thankful that I took the advice of my friend and put myself out there. I know my future self will continue to thank me for investing in myself. IF you are still unsure, just give it a chance, I promise you will feel an energy in the workout that you haven't yet felt. We are not competition, we are each there on any given day as the inspiration for those around us and for that I will be forever grateful to this place and these...

If you are looking to make friends, grow athletically, burn calories, feel a healthy medium of challenge and reward, Burn Boot Camp is the way to go. Reviews are to be honest, so honest I shall be. My wife and I had no idea what burn boot camp was but she had me tag along. Originally when I saw all the women I thought I was very out of place. I actually was a lil insecure and questioned if it would be suitable for me. I learned very quickly within the next 5 minutes it was silly to even question. Looking to my left and right I saw Women who had cardiovascular strength and pick up weights that were well beyond what I could do. My respect for other Campers quickly upgraded. The lead trainer, Liza always without fail is seasoned with kindness, inspiration, motivation, determination and an unapologetic amount of joy! The other trainers are excellent also and provide a move set of workouts that are never the same. By the end of my first class I was high fiving everyone and quickly told some of my guy friends, and brother In law. Since then men have joined and have been thankful for this hidden gem! More people need to join! Come through! I’ll be your friend! Also Men, come in and you will see what I’m talking about! We need the Burn...

I joined Burn when they opened their Saint Charles location in 2023, and it was the best decision! There are so many good things I have to say about this gym. I love that I don’t have to think about what my workout is going to be for the day, I just show up to burn and know that I will get a well-rounded, challenging workout! I get to turn my brain off for 45 minutes and just focus on the workout. All of the trainers and staff are incredible! The trainers are so kind and provide modifications when you need it. I just had my first baby 3 weeks ago and was able to go to burn through my entire pregnancy. They made sure to give me modifications and helped me reach my goals during pregnancy in a safe way! I have recovered very quickly and I attribute that to the strength I built at Burn! Not only are the workouts great, but the community is incredible!!! I have made amazing friends through the gym and everyone is so supportive of your fitness journey! You never feel like you are someone else’s competition, instead, you are inspired by others around you! I could go on for days about why I love burn- 10/10 recommend to anyone thinking of trying it out!!! I can’t wait to come back once I’m cleared by...
