Burn Boot Camp Bursts into Norwood
National Fitness Franchise Establishes Community for Local Mothers and Women

As health and fitness continue to stay top of mind for Norwood-area residents, Burn Boot Camp, a national fitness franchise, has announced a new location coming to the market. Located at 686 Washington St., the new concept recently opened to help clients achieve their fitness goals.
The Norwood location is owned and operated by best friends, Tara Barber and Leah Pinkerton who both wanted to further pursue their passion of empowering women. Barber was the first of the two to become a client at Burn Boot Camp. When she realized how much she loved the concept and how it aligned with her and Pinkerton’s passions, she convinced Pinkerton to come on board and open a location. Barber is a small business owner and former personal trainer who has always had a dream of opening her own gym while Pinkerton is a self-employed hair dresser who always wanted to empower women by making them feel great about themselves. The two women knew that this entrepreneurial journey would be a perfect fit for them and the residents of Norwood and surrounding area.
“The workout clients receive at Burn Boot Camp is effective and empowering, and we’re excited for Norwood residents to try it out first hand,” noted Pinkerton. “The sense of community our clients experience is unique and palpable. Seeing people from various fitness levels come together and support each other during the camps is amazing.”

Each camp involves a 45-minute circuit style workout comprised of 72 different styles and 15 different formats, e.g. HIIT training, suspension training, etc. Burn Boot Camp has a stringent recruiting program for trainers with every session led by an NCCA-accredited certified personal trainer who creates new, innovative programs daily so attendees never do the same workout twice. Clients learn far more than just healthy eating and exercise tips at Burn Boot Camp, as the concept strays from the competition by operating on a five pillar philosophy to help clients achieve success: mindset, nutrition, burst training, strength training, and positive environment.
“Tara and Leah are joining the strong network of Burn Boot Camp franchise operators at an exciting growth point for the brand,” said Devan Kline, CEO and co-founder of Burn Boot Camp. “The Norwood location will be well on its way of transforming the lives of local residents and creating a meaningful community environment under their guidance.”

The fitness concept also provides a convenient environment for women, ensuring a worry-free workout; all sessions before 5 p.m. are only available to women, and childcare is available for mothers free of charge while they’re on-campus.
