Your August Transformation Story is a familiar Burn Family Face! Kelsey Barnes is sharing a new story of true, lasting change—both physically and mentally—through consistent effort.
“3 years ago I walked into Burn Boot Camp Clarksville and was embraced by the franchise partners. I was lost deep in the trenches of postpartum depression and anxiety. I immediately knew this new journey was going to be different than all the rest. I’ve lost 90lb since joining Burn, but I’m even more proud of the mental & physical strength I’ve gained.
My journey is a true testament to consistency being the key to slow, yet sustainable progress. It doesn’t happen overnight, but eventually all of the hard work adds up. I’d spent 30+ years overweight, battling eating disorders and living uncomfortable in my own skin. I’ve tried basically every diet and type of exercise class out there. Nothing has ever given me the mental & physical empowerment like Burn has.
For the first time in my life I’ve been prioritizing myself because I know that I need to be the strongest mentally and physically in order to give the best version of myself to my family. I’m working to establish a strong healthy family legacy that starts with me.”
