Burn Boot Camp - Kirkwood, MO

ST. LOUIS VOTED . . . and we have a WINNER in the house. 🏆💙

Every year, St. Louis Magazine’s A-List Awards recognize some of the very best people and businesses across the St. Louis area. After nominations and months of voting, we are SO proud to announce that Manchester’s very own Head Trainer, Ashley O’Hare, has been named Personal Trainer of the Year! 🎉

If you’ve ever been coached by Ashley, you know exactly why. She knows when to encourage you, when to correct you, when to challenge you, and somehow when you’re capable of more before you know it yourself.

The knowledge, energy, and genuine care she brings to the floor every day have made an impact on so many people, and we couldn’t be prouder to see St. Louis recognize what our Burn family already knows. 💙

And there’s even more to celebrate! Burn Boot Camp St. Louis was named an A-List finalist in TWO categories: Best Boutique Gym AND Best Fitness Center! To be recognized alongside some of the best fitness businesses in St. Louis means so much to our entire team.

To everyone who nominated, voted, shared, and supported us: THANK YOU. And help us give Ashley a HUGE congratulations in the comments—our A-List Personal Trainer of the Year! 🏆👏

It takes longer than you think, and definitely longer than social media will lead you to believe. But it's still worth it.

I tried Burn in December of 2023, and it’s been in my routine ever since. Originally joining for a fun and new challenge, Burn has become so much more than a workout. It’s a place I can truly be myself.

It’s a place filled with people who uplift and push me to become better and stronger, it’s a place where every emotion is welcome and it’s a place that encourages you to take up space and grow in confidence.

Burn has helped me to become physically strong, but it truly has transformed my mental and
emotional strength.

Growing up, I’ve struggled with anxiety and depression and it’s led to years of me
trying to shrink myself and hide in my own shell. However, through consistently showing up and
walking in the doors, I found people who showed me how powerful being strong is, how confident you can be in your own skin, how food is fuel and how a challenge in the gym makes challenges in
everyday life seem easier.

This gym has given me people who hold me accountable in the seasons when life gets hard, shoulders to cry on, friends to laugh with, and support unlike any other place. I’ve had the privilege of seeing complete strangers turn into some of my closest friends, previous failures become PRs, and a growing confidence in myself and what I am capable of.
