Love this location. Great coach and friendly people to work out with! The exercise is challenging and yet doable.

Stumbled across this place after a google search for a workout place that would hold me accountable and have some form of childcare (new mom here). Finally decided to check it out. The place is located in an open air plaza right off the road, and took me a second of driving to find it. First impression of the facility - great open space, nice equipment, and a great upbeat owner that greeted me at the door: Erin Studdard. She was so motivational throughout the whole workout and remembered everyone's name. The workout itself: WHEW! It had me close to passing out for my first time. Erin does an amazing job of tailoring and modifying to your level/injuries, which is important. She also implies a full lifestyle approach, focusing on nutrition/diet and a balanced intake aside from the high intensity workout. I wasn't bored for a single minute. The thing that gets this place five stars is that they have childcare in the facility. The person watching the kids is super nice and seems to handle kids very well. Also, all the ladies that I met were super friendly and welcoming to newcomers! I look forward to going back for more! Definitely give this place a try! read more

See all

If you want to see change, go here! If you want to go to a gym where the trainers know your name, go here! If you want to make some friends, especially if you are a mom, go here! This gym is both for beginners and for advanced exercisers. I promise everyone will be challenged. Each day there is a "theme" to the workout, which is posted online every Sunday. These themes can include upper body, core, metabolic conditioning, lower body, etc. I love this part because you aren't working the same muscles day after day after day. There are also highly encouraged focus meetings that are included in membership. This is where diet is talked about and body measurements are taken! It's like having a personal trainer for a much lower cost. read more

As part of a local Facebook parents group (SoDu represent!), I was casually reading posts and noticed there was an offer for 45a lot of FREE days at this gym. At the time, I had been grumpy and complaining about my weight and health constantly. I wasn't happy with myself and the way I felt. Frumpy, grumpy, lumpy, depressed, tired. Blah... I had trouble running and playing with my little ones. And never felt like going outside or doing anything sporty. This was exactly what I needed for motivation. Try it out for free, what could it hurt? Six months later, I am in the best shape of my life. My stamina and endurance have improved drastically. I am more than twenty pounds lighter and my psyche has benefitted immensely from knowing how much stronger I am. My goal was not just to lose weight, but to find a lifestyle change that worked for me. Burn Bootcamp gave me what I needed. I am healthier. I am happier. I eat better (almost always). And I am STRONGer. I am so thankful to have found this place, and can't imagine my life without this beautiful community. Erin and Christin are the BEST trainers I could have ever hoped to encounter. Their motivation and encouragement would be hard to duplicate. And the women, the women!!! Truly, this community is irreplaceable. We motivate each other. We give high fives and shout out encouraging words and make sure if we see someone struggling they hear & know that they CAN do it. Burn Bootcamp is the place to be if you are ready to make a real and lasting change. I have started a new life and am so excited to see what's in store in the future! Come out and check us out!!! read more

I started just over a week ago, doing the 30 days for $30 promotion. After having a baby last summer, I needed something to help get my body and self "back". Doing at-home workouts just wasn't happening, so I felt stuck. Another mom friend bought a Groupon for Burn and encouraged me to try it with her. After our first class, I was hooked. It was really hard, but Kristen was so encouraging. She tried really hard to learn our names, even though there were 20+ people in the class. This place is amazing! I've done group fitness classes at chain gyms before and generally liked them. This place, however, is so much more. The fellow campers are so friendly and encouraging. Everyone high fives one another and pushes each other when the workouts are killer. When Kristen had us run the parking lot during one of the workouts, I noticed a woman needing an "extra push". Then, out of nowhere, another camper came and ran alongside her, encouraging her not to quit. I was so impressed. I would definitely encourage someone to try the promotion! You'll be hooked! read more

Erin and Kristen at the South Durham location are awesome - so positive, warm, and encouraging. They offer great alternatives to mod-down or mod-up - the modifications are still challenging but help you work around injuries, aches, and pains. I just started doing the $30 for 30 and really love it. I mean what a deal! Especially because I didn't get locked into a contract, they provide childcare, and they do focus meetings to track your progress. At my recent focus meeting Erin took my measurements, measured weight/body fat, and talked about some nutritional tweaks we could make to help me get the biggest benefits from the work I'm doing. I'd love to see Yelp do an event with Burn Bootcamp - this is a really different way to work out and everyone is so positive and accepting. There's so much diversity in the campers' bodies and abilities and everyone just embraces it. Some classes are 20+ people, some are only 3-5 but they do a great job of providing one on one instruction. They are really a community - not in the scary way that CrossFit is - but in a place that wants to help you set attainable goals and hold you accountable along the way. Great place, you should definitely check it out and do the 14 day test drive and just see how much stronger and how much more energy you have after several sessions! read more

I have been a Burn Boot Camp member since March 2015. At the time, I was way out of shape and hadn't been on any consistent fitness plan for about a year. I found BBC through a Groupon. The gym is is a large one-room, brightly lit facility with high ceilings and lots of windows. The perimeter of the room served a storage for weights, battle ropes, kettle bells, Bosu balls, pull-up bars, etc...There's also a smaller room for childcare and two restrooms - one has a shower. The best part of this place is the owner: Erin Studdard. Erin's a super positive and encouraging coach. She knows everybody's name and fitness goals. She pushes you without yelling or berating you. The other coaches are great too but Erin is my fave! The other campers are super supportive and caring. A high five or "good job today" from someone is a common occurrence. There's no stuffiness, arrogance or cliques - just a diverse group of women getting stronger together. In addition to the bootcamp classes, you get Focus meetings that help you identify mental and physical goals. I freaking love this place! read more

I've been on my journey at burn boot camp since July of 2017. Started with so much self doubt and am pushed every single day. I can't imagine being anywhere else! Anwar and Amanda are AMAZING! read more

I've started coming about 2 years and I came initially to lose some pounds and tone my body. I gained so much more...self esteem, love, perseverance, and realizing I'm stronger than what I believed. read more

I have been working out since I was 13, I have tried pretty much everything, heavy weight lifting, kick boxing, old style aerobics, steps, you name it... and I also have had all kind of trainers... what can I say about BBC? it has it ALL! The workouts change almost every day, they include a WIDE variety of series of exercises with and without weights, which I consider great! and I, for once, am seeing results that combine weight loss and muscle toning, that was hard for me before because I would just be bored with all the routines that included weight... Besides that, the trainers are absolutely fantastic, they keep pushing you every minute of the workout and if you feel you cannot make it through any part of the exercise, they stand next to you and do it with you, they encourage you through personal messages, social media, email, it's great. I have even been texting them screenshots of the apps I use to monitor my diet and they give me input, they explain how nutrition works for the workout, I learn something with them every day. And, if that were not enough, I also have to mention that I have asthma, and I have NEVER ran long distances because I would get short of breath and I would feel my legs suffering, well, after training at BBC, I started running, first short distances, they have been getting longer and longer, I feel so confident now that I'm planning on running a couple of short marathons! :D They have great child care, available for every class, it's a great group, I call my trainers and fellow campers my family, because we go beyond the workout, we share our passion for getting stronger, healthier, and just better in every sense, every day. TRY IT! You won't regret it! read more

I love it! Burn boot camp south durham is the first place where I've felt completely comfortable working out around other people. I get an awesome workout with supportive trainers and the most motivating people I've ever come to know. Not only is it fun and a great workout, it's a support group filled with women who want to see each other succeed. That's what makes all the difference. The experience at burnsodu is unmatched. Try it out. You won't regret it!! read more

Not much in this world would get me out of bed at 4:30 in the morning to workout at 5:30 but my trainer Christin motivates me to do so. (Plus I'm a little scared of what she might do to me if I DON'T show up! ;) ) The ladies I am fortunate enough to see most days of the week are a HUGE inspiration and have become like family. Burn truly is a life changer for me. I'm healthier, I'm leaner and I am actually getting a butt! I can't recommend this place enough. Skeptical? There's a link on the website for a free 14-day test run. Give it a go! read more

I can honestly say that Burn Bootcamp Durham has been life changing for me! I joined in August 2013, and have not looked back! Thanks to the positive encouragement, motivation, and awesome workouts of owner/head trainer, Erin, I have lost over 50 lbs and gone down 8 dress sizes. This program works! But even more importantly, the community of women at Burn Bootcamp is outstanding! Supportive, fun, and all ages and levels. Many are moms, and there is on-site child care too. Trainers provide weekly one-on-one focus meetings to help you meet your nutrition and fitness goals too. I would recommend Burn Bootcamp Durham for all women! read more

Burn Bootcamp Durham is a great place to get your fitness on! The classes are 45 minutes which is great for those who have a hard time fitting exercise in the day and all the members are very encouraging! Everyone is at different fitness levels and if you need a modification due to injuries or level of fitness, the trainers are always willing to help out and give a different exercise. I have gone to several classes at different gyms but this is the only place that has truly challenged me to do things I would not normally do such as pull-ups and double-unders. Before Burn Bootcamp, I could barely do a push-up on my toes and now I can do 15. I lift heavier weights than I ever have before and most of all I have more energy and feel good about myself. I definitely recommend giving Burn bootcamp a try. read more

I've been going to BBC for two years. I am in absolutely the BEST shape of my life - and I'm almost 60! I have incredible upper body strength, my arms are toned (no "Rocky the Flying Squirrel" flab), and I have definition in my back and shoulders. My stamina is really good, I have energy to get through the day. I'm eating better and more healthfully than ever. It's not just the workouts - it's the community of women whose presence helps me through each class. They keep me accountable. They encourage me, and celebrate each milestone with me. The trainers take a personal interest in each woman, helping with nutrition, modifications, and training. It hasn't just been a game-changer for me - it's been a LIFE-CHANGER. HIGHLY recommend!!! Worth the journey. read more
