No need to skip the gym, east-siders. You’ve got a brand-new option

This paid piece is sponsored by Dawley Farm Village.

Be honest with yourself. Did the calendar switch to February deflate your resolve to stick to your “exercise more in 2021” resolution?

Or maybe you’re bored of your workout routine and need something new.

Either way, Burn Boot Camp has got your back.

The fitness franchise’s second Sioux Falls location opens Feb. 15 at the south end of the Dawley Farm Village development near Rosa Parks Elementary — 5105 E. Rosa Parks Place, if you want to Google Map it.

Owners Josh and Danelle Schneider chose the new location both because of the growth in the area and because customers kept asking for it.

“We got five to 10 messages a week for the last couple years: ‘When are you going to come to the east side?’ ” Josh Schneider said. “We just really feel like we’re in a good location.”

Before its official opening, Burn Boot Camp will have a soft opening the week of Feb. 8 with a limited class schedule offered free to the public.

Want to continue after as a member? You can take advantage of a special grand-opening deal of four weeks for $69.

The gym offers a variety of 45-minute classes — or “camps” — led by a trainer, with workouts including high-intensity interval, burst and strength training.

The goal, Schneider said, is to make sure members are working different areas of the body and feeling challenged whether they’ve been there for one day or two years.

And the membership structure is easy.

“Everybody’s an unlimited member,” Schneider said. “The longer the commitment you have, the lower your rate.”

Those unlimited memberships also are universal and can be used at any of the more than 275 Burn Boot Camp locations nationwide, including the gym in southern Sioux Falls near 85th Street and Louise Avenue.

Schneider recognizes that starting a new gym comes with a certain amount of fear and uncertainty, but he said Burn Boot Camp prides itself in its community.

“We really go above and beyond to reduce those barriers and make it a fun, comfortable and positive atmosphere for people to work out,” he said.

Class times range from 4:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. weekdays, with Saturday morning classes as well. The gym is closed Sundays.

Schneider said he and his wife hope to continue expanding the franchise with more locations in town.

“We’re hoping to really impact as many lives as possible,” he said.
