❤️🔥 TRANSFORMATION STORY ❤️🔥
I started my Burn journey in January 2023 after a friend encouraged me to try it while I was noticing weight gain. At the time, my goal was simple, I wanted to be thin and skinny again, not muscular. I loved the community, but as I started gaining muscle instead of losing weight, I decided this wasn’t the gym for me and after my contract ended I eventually left. I tried working out on my own, but struggled to stay consistent and push myself without guidance. By 2024, my confidence was at an all-time low. Then I got engaged, and I made a promise to myself that I was not going to feel this way as a bride.
In 2025, I came back to Burn with a completely different mindset. I took nutrition seriously, stopped being afraid of the scale, and shifted my focus from being “skinny” to becoming strong and confident. Once I embraced Burn’s philosophy of believing I could do hard things, everything changed. I’ve lost 20 pounds, gained muscle, and accomplished things I never thought I could; like running three 5Ks, competing in Level Up Games, and completing a HYROX women’s relay. I was never the girl who wanted muscle, but now it’s what I’m most proud of.
I thought I might lose my “why” after wedding festivities, but honestly, this journey feels like it’s just beginning. I’m excited to see how strong I can become, mentally and physically, in the next chapters of life. The women (especially the moms) I work out beside at Burn inspire me daily. Some of the strongest women I know. What brought me back, and what keeps me here, is the uplifting community that believes in you even when you don’t believe in yourself, pushes you to do hard things, and makes workouts fun even on the days you don’t feel showing up. I’m excited to keep the journey going. 🩷
