Burn Boot Camp Franchise

Devan and Morgan Kline started Burn Boot Camp in 2012, with the early workouts taking place in a parking lot. The concept grew around trainer-led group exercise and a supportive member community. That local beginning became the foundation for a franchise system that began offering franchises in February 2015.

The franchising company was originally organized in October 2014 and converted to Kline Franchising, LLC in September 2025. Its headquarters are in Cornelius, North Carolina. The brand’s development has paired the in-person fitness experience with operating education and digital resources for owners and members.

A dedicated fitness facility

Burn’s model centers on a physical location offering focused workouts, supplemented by nutrition and goal-setting assistance. The Burn app adds a digital connection to the member experience. Owners are responsible for staffing, service delivery, local promotion and the daily operation of the facility.

Candidates can explore one location or an approved development agreement for multiple facilities. A multi-location plan has its own commitments and schedule; the franchise fee shown above is for one facility.

Before opening, owners and designated team members complete Burn’s required education. The program combines preparation through the Burn Learning Portal with in-person Burn University training at the corporate headquarters or another designated location. The initial training provision includes the owner and two additional participants, with attendees selected for the relevant ownership, training and operating roles.

Preparing the team and facility

Training introduces the fitness product, sales and marketing, operating systems and business planning. Owners also receive operating guidance, equipment and supplier specifications, and resources for preparing the facility. Completion of the required program is part of getting the team ready to deliver the brand experience.

Training attendance involves the owner’s travel, accommodation and employee costs. Staffing and the day-to-day management of the location remain the franchisee’s responsibility.

Education after opening

Burn provides continuing education and operating resources as its system develops. Owners can use the brand’s learning tools to reinforce sales practices, team development and member service. The value of these resources depends on local execution: recruiting capable trainers, maintaining the facility and building relationships that bring members back.

Burn Boot Camp offers a business centered on an active community. A consistent workout program gives owners something specific to market, while coaching and member relationships create reasons for customers to keep engaging with the location.

Lead a team and a local community

This opportunity fits an owner who wants to develop people, promote a fitness business and create a welcoming member experience. The work reaches beyond exercise instruction to staffing, sales, service and operational leadership.

An established training system and recognizable brand give the owner a starting framework. An approved multi-location plan can also suit operators prepared to build management depth across several facilities. Explore Burn if you want a fitness business where the quality of the team and the strength of local relationships are central to the experience.
