This place appears to care more about their bottom line, than it does about actually helping people transform. So disappointing

I have just recently started at burn boot camp and it has been one of the best choices I made. The staff are so supportive and inviting with a good attitude. Everyone is very welcoming and you know it’s always gonna be a good workout! The staff are there to help you as a coach and as a friend. Even at 5am they are always pumped and ready to go!

I transferred from another location and felt so welcome by the Corvallis Burn fam! Burn Bootcamp got me in the best shape of my life and everyone is encouraging for all fitness levels. This workout has helped me through an awful time in my life and truly saved me, gave me confidence, and pushed me to make healthy choices for a longer and healthier life. I have more energy and feel so good after every camp!

I have been putting off working out because 1. I didn’t love it 2. I had no idea what I was doing and 3. I was shy about it.Burn Boot Camp has changed everything for me! It is such a supportive and encouraging community that it makes you want to keep coming back! There is a lot of guidance and always modifications! It’s exactly what I was looking for!

Burn is everything I didn’t think it would be. It’s so much more. It has been so encouraging, supportive, and just the people! I’ve only been doing for almost 2 months, and I love going. The workouts are definitely challenging for 45 minutes, but I love leaving feeling accomplished and strong! The staff there is amazing! I can’t highly recommend enough!

Great Trainers. The stars given in this rating are for Jamie, Wyatt, Corrinda and Britney. High energy, super positive and love helping people even when they're grouchy. I appreciate their kindness and ability to keep me motivated during the workout. I even hit it off with a few members and looked forward to seeing them at our class. However::: The music is incredibly loud, even with ear plugs. If you find it a challenge to concentrate with loud music, you've been warned. They do not offer ear plugs. (Not when I was there anyways). There's no showers, no locker rooms. Shared cubbies on the workout floor seemed to be just fine for their programs. I had a week long freebie and then took the $190 plunge for a one month-to-month membership. The cost really bothered me. I spoke to many trainers and front desk folks about the cost being incredibly high and they all understood but that was it. There was a good membership sale which I almost signed up for: an 18 month contract (it was a much better monthly price at $120ish) but wised up after reading online about gym memberships about being notoriously insane to get out of once you sign. On their contract it says that if the business closes for any reason (including pandemics) but continue to offer online courses, you will not be let out of your contract. NOPE. I do not have a crystal ball and I find these kind of contracts unsettling. I had more clarifying questions, and the front desk person continued to tell me how much she LOVED seeing me and that I MADE the experience GREAT. I asked her to tone it down and be authentic, but she continued to express how much Burn LOVES me. Really? You don't even know me! This person I had seen twice and she did not tone it down when I asked her to. If you have disposable income and want to get your ass kicked and need childcare, this is a good fit for you. As a single person on a budget without a need for childcare, Burn was a rip-off. When I emailed to cancel my membership, I had a feeling i would run into problems, so I put a hold on my card. Its a good thing I did because it took them 5 days to reply, and the person who replied to my email was incredibly rude blaming me for "too late notice for canceling" and that I "was lucky he would not continue to run my card". Budgeted-buyer-beware. Also, why is it so expensive? I hope those trainers are making $150+/session because it is they who are the stars of the show.

I write this review not to hurt a business, but to let parents who might use child watch at burn boot camp know what kind of child care my son received there.A big part of what burn boot camp offers members is their child watch resource. I brought my son to my first workout with burn last month. My son just turned two and I am a stay at home mom and he has never once been in a daycare setting, only having been watched by his grandmas. As my son and I went into the first class/first childcare, my goal was to ease my son into it, daycare being a brand new setting for him. I got there early and had a conversation with the child watch staff and said that if he cries to please come get me so he can have a positive first time and get used to being there. I was specifically asked “how many minutes are you okay with him crying before we come get you?” I responded “zero. If he cries tears please come get me.” Now I realize some parents subscribe to “crying it out” or the tough love perspective like “he needs to get used to it”, and every parent has the right to make the choice of how they deem best to raise their kids, but that is not how my husband and I are raising our son. We are strong attachment parents, who offer support and love to our kid when he’s afraid or sad. After the class the staff wanted to talk to me about signing up and I told them I wanted to check on my son first. I went back there to hear a child crying and the sounds were unfamiliar to me so I thought it wasn’t my son. Once I came around the corner I saw my son red faced, writhing on a woman’s lap. He was hyperventilating so hard he gagging and coughing. I asked how long he had been crying and she said “probably 5 minutes”. I doubt he could get that worked up in 5 minutes, but if he did, I had requested to be fetched immediately if he got upset. What I saw in my son in that moment is a level of distress that I believe that if any child reached that point, regardless of the parents preference or “cry limit” they should have been fetched from the work out floor.As I left burn that morning I felt violated. I had trusted them with my child and they had directly went against my wishes and put my son through a scary and unnecessary experience. Now, regardless of whether or not the management at burn boot camp believe that kids need to “suck it up” so mom can work out, going against a mothers wishes in that setting is not good for their business. If a parent like me who subscribes to responsive parenting has a child who is deathly afraid of being left in the child watch room, that parent is not going to leave them there while they work out. The big draw about burn for me was their child watch, so if I’m not going to use that resource there are plenty of other gyms to pick from. Maybe my son never would have liked being left there even if I had had the chance to ease him into it, but burn boot camp didn’t give me the opportunity to try. My son has a great memory and remembers how scared being at burn made him feel. Weeks after the event we were walking into petco which is located right next door and he got scared we were going to go into burn.I have never seen my son that upset and after the workout I got in the passenger side of my car, holding him as he sobbed and I cried a little too. It’s so hard being a mom to a young toddler and when you put yourself out there to try new things like joining a gym and putting your child in child watch, you are making yourself vulnerable. I will never go back to burn after this experience. I told management briefly what had happened as I carried my son out of there that day, and then burn management and I played phone tag for a few days. Ultimately, whatever they have to say during a phone call doesn’t change that my son and I had the experience we did. Management knows what happened so hopefully they can re train child watch staff according. I am now going to OrangeTheory and love it.

Burn has quite literally changed my life! The dedication I see within each and every person that goes to burn makes me want to keep going. The staff that pushes me and is so welcoming as I open my cart door is powerful. I feel my strongest when at burn.

I had watched from afar for years and finally decided to give Burn Bootcamp Corvallis a try and I am so glad I did! I was worried I would stick out like a sore thumb but everyone is so welcoming and supportive and there are people from all walks of life and abilities in every class which I love. Burn is quickly becoming part of my every day life.

Working out has been a journey for me with a lot of ups and downs, but joining Burn Boot Camp has given me that extra nudge I've been needing. The trainers take time with everyone, offering support and encouragement and pushing you to never give up. The workouts are hard in just the right ways and set up so that you can pick and chose what days to go, or just commit to going every day without the fear of burnout or fatigue. The community of men and women that have joined Burn are just as supportive - everyone is rooting for everyone. Lastly, the option of having child care has been a game changer. The child watch staff are kind and knowledgeable and put your mind at ease while you complete your workout. I'm impressed every day, and feel like I've accomplished something when I leave.

The coaches are not prepared to help fat people. Went here a few years ago. When I needed a break because the exercise was too intense and my heart was racing over 200 bpm and I felt a burning pain in my chest, I was yelled at for not keeping up and not rejoining the exercise soon enough. I guess they thought I just had a motivational problem. I repeatedly tried to explain what was going on but the berating did not stop and I was not taken seriously. I can only conclude that this is a gym for skinny, fit, wealthy people and not for me. A qualified fitness coach would have understood my needs as soon as I mentioned my heart rate.
