WHAT IS LOCALBURN?

LOCALBURN is a 1-hour, full-body workout, focused on training endurance, strength and power. We use heart rate-based interval training, which burns more calories post-workout than traditional exercise. Intensity is based on your own individual heart rate zones, making the workout effective for all fitness levels. To top it off, our certified coaches lead the workout to prevent you from over or under training.

HOW DO I START WITH LOCALBURN?

Getting started with LOCALBURN is easy! First, sign up for a free* introductory class. We will contact you within 24 hours to schedule a complimentary transformation strategy session. During your strategy session, we will focus on defining your short-term and long-term goals and define an exact plan to attain those goals as efficiently as possible.

You will then be taken through a brief workout designed to give you a feel for the workout structure and intensity.You can discuss any thoughts or questions you may have regarding the workout or your fitness goals with our experienced coaches before class.

I HAVEN’T WORKED OUT IN A LONG TIME. CAN I STILL DO THE WORKOUT?

Of course! LOCALBURN is geared toward ALL levels of fitness, and everyone is encouraged to go at their own pace. We recommend signing up for a free* introductory class, then discussing any thoughts or questions you may have regarding the workout or your fitness goals with our experienced coaches before class.

I HAVE ISSUES WITH (PART OF THE BODY). CAN I STILL DO THE WORKOUT?

Absolutely. Our coaches are trained to provide options for each exercise on the floor, in addition to offering a low-impact bike and strider alternative in place of the treadmill for lower body injuries or orthopedic restrictions.

I’M PREGNANT. CAN I STILL DO THE WORKOUT?

If you’ve already been doing LOCALBURN workouts and become pregnant, check with your doctor first. Our heart rate-based monitored training is a perfect way to keep an eye on your intensity as you progress through your pregnancy. If you are a few months into your pregnancy and haven’t been doing any sort of fitness training, apply for your free transformation strategy session and we can help get you back into shape!

WHAT EQUIPMENT DO YOU USE AT LOCALBURN?

Our workout room has a variety of equipment, including treadmills (bikes and striders as alternatives), Rowers and floor equipment, including dumbbells, benches, TRX suspension straps, medicine balls, BOSU trainers and Ab Dollys.

WHAT IS EPOC?

The physiological theory behind the LOCALBURN workout is known as “Excess Post-Exercise Oxygen Consumption,” or EPOC. Our 1-hour workout is designed to produce 20 minutes or more of intensities at 85% or higher of maximum heart rate. This program design produces a workout “afterburn” effect, which is an increased metabolic rate for up to 36 hours after the workout. This leads to higher calorie burn after, not just during, the workout.

What do the 5 zones mean, and why is the FLAME zone so important?

LOCALBURN is a 5-zone, heart-rate-based interval training class that includes both cardio and strength training. During a class, members focus on Zones 3 (challenging but doable), 4 (uncomfortable) and 5 (all out/sprint effort). These zones are individually calculated for each LOCALBURN member. The classes are designed to produce 20 minutes or more in Zones 4 (orange) and 5 (red), combined, during the workout. The goal of this is to achieve EPOC (Excess Post-Exercise Oxygen Consumption).

WHAT ARE FLAME POINTS?

FLAME points indicate minutes spent in the orange and red zones. Aim for at least 20 splat points per class to achieve EPOC.

HOW EARLY SHOULD I ARRIVE FOR MY FIRST LOCALBURN CLASS OR SESSION?

We ask that you arrive 30 minutes prior to your first class so we can go over your fitness goals with you, get you set up on our heart-rate monitoring system and introduce you to your fitness coach.

WHAT DO I NEED FOR CLASS?

Enclosed running shoes, athletic shorts/pants, athletic top, towel and water bottle.

HOW DO I BOOK A CLASS OR SESSION?
