Today we’d like to introduce you to Deepal Patel.
Deepal, can you briefly walk us through your story – how you started and how you got to where you are today.
Prior to Burn, I worked out at many fitness places. You name it and I’ve had the membership to that place! From boxed gyms to pilates to yoga to Orange theory. I did it all! With zero results due to zero consistency. I even had a personal trainer at one point. Even with the gym membership and personal trainer… I was lazy and inconsistent. I was always “tired.” I blamed others for my inconsistency. I always had excuses.
Fast forward to 2017… I signed up for the Free 14 day trial at Burn Boot Camp (yes! all Burn Boot Camps offer a FREE 14-day trial)
I remember driving to Burn Boot Camp and parking my car in the parking lot. I saw two strong women walk out of the gym and I turned my car around and went back home. I went back the next month. Turned back around. Why? I was scared of failing.
Finally, in January of 2019, I walked into Burn Boot Camp Frisco. I still remember it was a cardio day. I hated it. I hated it so much that I fell in love with it. I loved the women I worked out with and I loved my trainer. After that, I couldn’t stop going. I was addicted. I knew there was something special about Burn. Something so special that I had to open one! 💙
To me, Burn is so much more than just losing weight and getting in shape. Burn helped me with my mindset! Which is the biggest battle!! And for that, I am forever grateful. It helped me gain a new lifestyle. It has made me stronger and a better person. Never in a million years, I thought that I would own a fitness franchise. When I became part of Burn family, I just knew I had to help people around me change their lives and teach them the importance and benefits of a consistently healthy lifestyle. Because if I can do it, you can do it too!! 💪
My husband and I are so excited to bring Burn Boot Camp to Prosper. We are beyond thrilled to have an amazing team by our side that will lead us in changing lives in Prosper!
Has it been a smooth road?
Opening your own business is a great feeling but it’s a lot of work. I definitely wouldn’t say it’s been a smooth road but it’s definitely been one heck of an amazing experience thus far. I think the biggest struggle we’ve had thus far was city permits. Also, the biggest struggle was finding the perfect head trainer. My husband and I have been looking for an amazing head trainer for our location since April 2019. We even talked about pushing our opening out if we did not find THE trainer for the people of Prosper. We are super fortunate to have found our head trainer and our support trainers! They are truly amazing and going to change so many lives in Prosper!
So let’s switch gears a bit and go into the Burn Boot Camp story. Tell us more about the business.
Burn Boot Camp is the fastest growing fitness franchise in the nation. The franchise was started by a husband and wife duo, Devan Kline and Morgan Kline. It originated in Charlotte, NC. Devan and Morgan knew that as a working woman, busy parent, boss lady, super dad or student on the go, life can become hectic. So, they designed 45-minute workouts that burn an average of 700 calories per camp. Burn Boot Camp offers 45 minutes unlimited camps, COMPLIMENTARY CHILD WATCH, one on one focus meetings and an AMAZING COMMUNITY to support you! We are all about hi-fives and good vibes 🙂
I am super proud to be a part of the company that not only brings the best out of me, but it helps me bring the best out of other people! Burn has changed my life in so many ways that I cannot even describe it. I feel so blessed to be able to change the lives of people in prosper and surrounding areas. I am fortunate to have an amazing team by my side. They work so hard already and we are not even open yet!
How do you think the industry will change over the next decade?
I believe Burn Boot Camp has over 220 locations. They are expecting to have over 500 more locations by end of next year but please don’t quote me on that. DFW market is starting to see Burn Boot Camp. The first location was opened in Frisco by Tricia and Mark Wanish. They also have a location in Mckinney. There is a location in flower mound and we are opening 4th Burn Boot Camp in Dallas! They have already sold territories in Richardson and Addison. I am so excited for people of DFW to #bleedblue!
