hate to be a harpy but what the actual. Super weird compound movements that didn’t seem to work my core literally at all?
I’d rather have done scissor kicks and dead bugs for 45 mins than whatever tf that was.
Curious if anyone else’s Burn announced this today. At my location, we were told that “HQ” has made a new rule that coaches are no longer allowed to put friends together in groups during camp, even if members ask to be together.
I was pretty disappointed by it because honestly, working out with my friends is a huge part of why I love Burn and the community there. We’re all busy moms and camp is sometimes the only time we see each other during the week.
What made me question it is that a friend asked someone at another Burn location nearby, and they apparently didn’t receive or announce this rule at all.
Did anyone else’s Burn announce this today or recently? Has anyone heard directly from HQ that this is actually a company-wide policy? I’m mostly trying to figure out whether this is truly coming from headquarters or if it’s something being implemented by my locations but they’re putting the onus on HQ. Seems a little Sus
Since joining in January we have been sick every other month. They claim to be struck with their policies on runny noses and coughs… clearly not. My daughter is not in school or daycares. No one else in our circle is getting sick but us. This is the common denominator. I’ve only done 70 days this year bc of how often we have colds and trying to be polite and not being a contagious kid. I’m at my wits end and we did the 18 month package. Fml 🤦🏼
So our Burn is hiring BAs. Ad says must be welcoming to all members, utilize social media and bring energy and connect with the members. Our BAs are the complete opposite of what this ad is asking for! They only video their favorites so we see the same people every day and only acknowledge you if you're their best friend or a family member! I'm over it!
Does anyone know when they are announcing the finalist for athlete games?
Does anyone else sometimes feel like BBC is going the route of rewarding those who are super athletic versus regular people (like me)?
I think the level up games are cool and a nice way to get some recognition for being strong. And obviously the athlete games are super fun too to cheer on our trainers.
But now with these new member games, I am feeling left behind. I won’t be able to do whatever it is they’ll do. I go to the gym for my health, mental and physical, but I’m not “good” at it really. I dunno I just don’t want this fun place that feels like I fit in to transform into a gym where I don’t belong.
So I just saw the post about the Member Games. If it's open to anyone that wants to sign up, and it's also for Burns nationwide, how the heck are they gonna fit everyone in one location on one weekend? I feel like I'm honestly left with more questions now that it's been announced 😂
Much appreciated :-)
I have been doing burn off and on for a year. The thing that really keeps me from being consistent is constant headaches. Primarily after conditioning days. I have tried everything, changing eating, increasing water and electrolytes. No medical issues- already checked with doctors! Any insight of similar experiences?
I need something supportive but doesn’t completely dig into my back. What are your favorites?
Does your location have a large / nice selection of burn gear? Do all locations normally get the same gear in? My location changes tshirt themes every few weeks but nothing worth spending money on.. where does everyone get the cute sweaters, crew necks and tshirts?
Per the post today they’re “cooking up something” that will be announced tomorrow? Similar to athlete games but would that be Level Up games?
I am struggling with keeping my grip on heavier weights especially my left side. I noticed it today especially when I was doing deadlifts, my grip failed before my legs. I was using 35s and probably could have gone heavier. I have gloves but they just don't seem to be cutting it. What are you all using to hold onto heavier weights longer and help with grip during pull ups?
Anyone else order summit merch and only part of your order has arrived? I’m waiting on claw clips 🤪
Our gym told us today that we weren’t allowed to record ourselves anymore during camps. Only the BAs. Is that the same at other gyms??
My six month membership was ending so I asked the front desk how to cancel. They said I needed to cancel within 30 days and I don’t have to pay for the next month then when I went to email, they said seven day notice. So basically I was given the wrong information and now I’m stuck with a bill that they’re trying to make me pay. And they won’t process my cancellation until it’s paid. Is there any way out of this? I have tried reaching out to the owner and they refuse. They won’t acknowledge that the front desk gave me the wrong information.
So, I’m fairly annoyed. I transferred from one state to another. I asked the gym I signed up for how I’d start the process to transfer to the new gym - I was leaving TX in May, and arriving to CA in June. TX gym said no big deal, just tell them you’re transferring and you’ll be good to go. OF COURSE that didn’t happen. CA gym wanted me to pay the drop in fee for every class I attended ($16 each) because TX gym didn’t process my transfer until June (when I arrived to CA). I eventually begged TX gym to transfer me, which they didn’t but then miraculously CA gym said they’d sign me up for classes so I didn’t have to pay the drop in (I had already paid a few but I was over fighting).
Turns out June is also annual fee month for TX gym.. I’m not surprised are you?
Fast forward to today. CA gym is letting us know that annual dues are coming!!! WTF. Why are they different months and WHY MUST I PAY BOTH? Honestly, I am annoyed that I even signed up for burn with the transfer experience alone. I really enjoyed the people at my TX gym. The trainers personally texted me if I missed two days.. This CA gym.. It just doesn’t feel the same. No one cares if I make it or not, but you bet your ass they’d care if my payments went missing. I just hate this. I hate that I was sold on this community idea but it just feels like a $$$$$$$$$$ grab.
Also, side note, I haven’t been to the gym in a few weeks due to a migraine so I could also be hating it more because of that. I know I sound like a brat about the community and no one checking in on me, but what I was sold and what I bought have started to feel so different since I left TX.
Anyways, has anyone had success in only paying ONE ANNUAL fee?
