<\/figure>\n\n\n\nWhy Burn Boot Camp? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cBurn Boot Camp is aligned with our passion for fitness and motherhood. The concept of engaging with like-minded women (and men!) in a positive community, while challenging ourselves with a great workout, and having the option to utilize childwatch was the game-changer for us.\u201d -Krystal<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cBurn Boot Camp was a concept that Krystal brought to my attention. Like Krystal said, we felt like Burn Boot Camp offered more than just a gym, but a concept that we could relate to.\u201d -Teresa<\/p>\n\n\n\n How has Burn impacted your family? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cSince I\u2019ve started doing the business side of Burn and working out at Burn, my family has witnessed me filling my cup up first. At Burn, I\u2019m surrounded by friends which always puts me in a good mood. I feel stronger and more confident after completing camps.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cAt home, I am more intentional when spending time with my family. They\u2019ve enjoyed this version of mom!\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cBecoming a Franchise Partner at Burn has inspired me to show my family how strong I really am. I feel so blessed and excited to go to work each day, and when I come home I can\u2019t wait to tell my family about it. I agree with Krystal, showing the people who love me this version of myself has empowered all of us!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Growing up, did society lead you to believe that women had a \u201cplace\u201d or only belonged in certain rooms, at certain tables? How has your understanding of what it means to be a woman changed through the years?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI grew up around strong, independent women that never let me believe that women had a \u201cplace\u201d. I was raised in a household where I learned I could do what I wanted as long as I worked hard for it. Sometimes it takes grit, but you can reach your goals if you really want to.\u201d -Krystal<\/p>\n\n\n\n What women inspire you and why? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cHands down, my grandmother and my mother. My grandmother and mother immigrated to the U.S. during the Vietnam war and worked extremely hard to provide for her daughter, her parents, and her siblings to make it to safety during that time. Through hard work and no room for failure, she created a successful life owning multiple restaurant businesses in Virginia Beach, VA, and Norfolk, VA. The hours were long, but the reward of providing the \u201cAmerican Dream\u201d for her family was priceless. I have a young mother who followed in her mother\u2019s footsteps and provided a great life for me no matter the circumstances. Growing up in the family business, she also owned her own restaurant in the Virginia Beach area.\u201d -Krystal <\/p>\n\n\n\n
