I can’t be the only one using the heaviest weights? How high do your dumbbells go?

Hello!

Just wondering if there is a best time of the year to join? I see that Burn runs different promotions and would like to join when I am getting a deal. So curious what promotion I should be looking for and if there is any rhyme to reason on when they run the promotions.

Also I’m located equally in between two different locations. Is there usually a big difference based on location or things I should ask about to decide which one to go to? Reading the sub I saw something about some locations having scans and smoothies?

I’ve never done a trial class but I’m 2 years PP and ready to start working on me again. I love that burn has childcare and I know some other moms who do it and love it, so I’m pretty much sold just want to get the best deal because this will be an extra expense that I’ll need to cut elsewhere to make it work.

Edit to add/ I really want my husband to do it with me. Are there specific promotions or things to consider if we are joining together?

How long do they have to use his playlists? Last week sucked so bad lol

Does the Mental Strength On Demand courses count towards camp count?

Any intel? It is free week and after 3 years of trying, I think I have finally convinced my husband to join me! I know it is a partner day, but would love a heads up of the exercises. He has not worked out in a while and is kind of nervous. He has a history of getting sick at every workout in the past, so it would be great to have a heads up so he would know what to expect. ☺️

I joined Burn about six weeks ago. So far I’ve only done strength camps and have avoided conditioning days. But I would like to try Metcon soon. I am dealing with a torn meniscus so putting too much pressure on my knee is not recommended. How do people typically modify in metcon for injuries or limitations in workouts that include jumping, hopping, and burpees? Should I try a different conditioning day with my knee issues?

Anyone??? Pleaseeee🥺

Any intel?? :-)

Hello everyone I recently book my first camp for 7/9 and I’m kinda nervous. Im not most active person either. What can I expect on the first day?

Is anyone else annoyed that Replenish comes in a tub and not packets?

There’s a reason every other electrolyte powder is in packets. Every time I get some, a little cloud of powder floats out to the point I can taste it in the air, plus it’s on my hands and counter. I genuinely like a lot of the Burn products, and bought it because it’s probably the best tasting sugar free electrolyte powder I’ve had, but for the price I want to actually drink it not lose half. Any ideas?

Hey guys! I did CrossFit for 4 years until our local box closed, and then I got pregnant right after. I didn’t do much other than walking and some light weights at the local PF during my pregnancy. I also had a C and that set me back too, but I finally picked up Burn Boot Camp in April. I loved the fact they had child watch (the CW staff is amazing!!) mainly, as that has been my main obstacle to getting back into the gym.

Since being at Burn, I have had 3 repetitive motion injuries. Mind you, I was a runner, did OLY lifting, and CrossFit for years and never had an injury.
I know pregnancy can change your body significantly, but considering my injustices have been to my knees, wrists, and quad… I don’t think it’s postpartum issues. As much as I enjoy it the child watch and the community, I do wonder if the constant reps during the workouts haven’t affected me. I skipped yesterday (athletic conditioning) because I looked at our local camp’s story and it looked like a ton of jumping around.

I know CrossFit isn’t perfect, but at least I feel the movements have some kind of purpose. I did a trial week at a CF Box about 20 mins out of the way, and I was reminded how much I enjoyed it. I’m just not sure if I can justify the distance with how high gas prices are, plus I’d have to go at 5AM due to them not having childcare. I hate our local CF closed, which is part of the reason I started at Burn, but I’m wondering if Burn just isn’t for me. Am I just in a slump? Any other ex crossfittters here that can give me some advice to enjoying Burn a little more?

I am new ish to burn. How do you handle going along with your cycle? My cycle has taken me out lately and I feel way less strong and quickly fatigued at camps when I’m on it. So you skip camp til next week or press though? Any thoughts? TMI : I also deal with fibroids so my periods are extremely heavy some
Days.

please :-)

I celebrated 50 camps this week and I looked at how many other people had already hit 100 & above. Then I realized how big 50 was for me! I have never worked out, or stepped into a gym, 50 times in one year.

Just saying good job to all of you! It took me awhile to hit my 50, but I’m pushing for 100 by the end of the year!

Any intel for arm day this week?

My husband has the day off and I’d like him to join me! TY to the people who always post intel. As a new burn member, it helps my confidence knowing what to expect/looking up moves ahead of time 🫶🏼

Just venting. I appreciate the community-centered vibe of Burn, but lately it’s been a bit much— members standing around blocking the cubbies chatting, groups chatting during the demos distracting others and then needing the trainer to repeat the exercises because they weren’t paying attention, people with kids staying and chatting after class and letting their kids run around the floating floor while others are stretching, trainer getting distracted during the rest intervals and chatting so it’s cutting into work time, a couple trainers even have stopped the instructions to go hug someone goodbye or take pics with them??… like admittedly I’m here for the workout I don’t really have time to attend a lot of the outside events and stuff so maybe I’m just jaded?
