Taylor Jackson - Member of the Month

BURN Member of the Month

Get to know Taylor and her amazing transformation!

1. Can you tell us a little about yourself and your main BURN studio?
Hi! I’m Taylor Jackson. I moved to LA from the East Coast about three years ago and recently started as the Director of Social & Content at Sportiv – a brand for women who train (give us a follow @sportivlabs). Outside of Burn, you’ll either find me embarrassing myself on the internet, frying myself in the sun by any type of body of water, or in the comfort of my own apartment watching the Shrek franchise for the 100th time. West Hollywood is my main studio. 

2. How long have you been a member of BURN?
I’ve been a member since August 2024. The very first week the West Hollywood studio opened!

3. What initially brought you to our studio, and what keeps you coming back?
A friend took me to my first-ever Burn class at Brentwood, and I was hooked. A few weeks later, the West Hollywood studio opened, so it felt like it was meant to be. I keep coming back because it’s the first workout I’ve found where I leave feeling accomplished but also actually excited to come back the next day

4. Have you always been into fitness, or was there a turning point in your journey?
I’ve always been into fitness, but my relationship with it has changed drastically. I used to judge every workout by how many calories I burned or how long I spent in the gym. Finding Burn completely changed that mindset. It’s one of the first workouts that’s made me focus on how I feel instead of what my watch says. Now it’s just part of my morning. I don’t go because I feel like I have to. I go because I know I’ll walk out feeling like a better version of myself every single time.

5. What’s your favorite class at BURN and why?
Honestly any class taught by Sarah Lau. The workout is always a challenge and her playlists ALWAYS hit (she never misses!) There’s such a contagious energy in every class that makes you want to push yourself a little harder.

6. How has working out here impacted your life
outside the studio?
It’s made me more confident, more disciplined, and more consistent

7. What motivates you to stay consistent with your fitness routine?
Honestly, it’s the combination of how the workout makes my mind feel and the people at Burn. The physical results are definitely an added bonus, but seeing the same familiar faces every morning and being surrounded by such good energy makes it feel less like a workout and more like a part of my day I genuinely look forward to.

8. What’s your favorite way to recover after an intense workout?
An easy cool-down walk around my neighborhood, an iced latte in hand, and Justin Bieber radio on Spotify. It’s my little post-Burn ritual.

9. What’s one piece of advice you’d give to someone just starting their fitness journey?
Don’t force yourself into a workout just because everyone else loves it. What works for someone else doesn’t have to work for you. Find the kind of movement that genuinely makes you feel good, because that’s the one you’ll actually stick with.

BURN has truly transformed every part of my life, my body, my mind, and my confidence. When I first started, I thought I was simply joining a fitness studio, but what I found was so much more than just workouts. Physically, I’m in the best shape of my life. I’ve gotten stronger, leaner, and more toned than I ever imagined possible, but beyond the aesthetic changes, I’ve discovered what my body is truly capable of. Every class challenges me in a new way and pushes me past limits I didn’t even know I had. Mentally, BURN has been just as transformative. It’s not just about showing up for a workout, it’s about showing up for myself. I’ve gained an entirely new level of confidence, discipline, and self-belief that spills into every other area of my life. But what makes BURN so special is the community. It’s a space filled with energy, positivity, and genuine support. The instructors and members create an environment where you feel seen, encouraged, and inspired every single day. BURN has become my sanctuary, my therapy, and my source of strength. It’s changed my body, yes, but more importantly, it’s changed the way I see myself and what I believe I can achieve. I’m beyond grateful to be a part of this community, and I honestly can’t imagine my life without it.

BURN LA changed my life.
The transformation I’ve experienced is unbelievable—physically, mentally, and spiritually. For the first time, I can say with confidence that I truly love myself and my life.
At BURN, I learned the power of consistency and how uplifting it feels to surround myself with people who are committed to becoming better every day. I’ve built real friendships rooted in connection, support, and growth.
BURN is so much more than a fitness studio—it’s a community that challenges you, supports you, and inspires you to show up for yourself. I’ve gained knowledge about wellness, supplements, and fitness tips, but the biggest transformation has been my confidence. I know now that showing up for myself is the most powerful mindset I can carry.
I’m in the best shape of my life, but more importantly, I believe in myself. I can do anything. I am bold. I am beautiful. I am a badass.
Come join us, sweat through the challenge, and you’ll understand exactly what I mean.

“From the confidence I’ve gained in what my body is capable of to the new unique movements I never thought I could do, BURN has opened my mind to how truly limitless our bodies and minds can be. Also, the connection from running into other members around town is always fun. I can truly say this is a special place with a vibrant collective energy that spreads through emotional contagion!”

I’ve been going to BURN for almost a year now, and I absolutely love it. It’s completely changed my body in ways I didn’t think were possible. As an endomorph, it’s always been challenging to find a workout that helps me feel stronger and leaner without bulking up more than I want but BURN has been that perfect fit.

One of the things I appreciate most is the incredible community and the instructors. Even on days when I’m not feeling motivated, I still leave happy. The energy, support, and positive vibe make a huge difference.

Over this past year, I’ve also noticed a big shift in my confidence. I now find myself working out in a sports bra and even shorts something I never would have felt comfortable doing before. That’s a huge milestone for me, and I’m so grateful to BURN for helping me get there.

“I started taking classes at BURN Los Angeles in January 2024, and since then I’ve completed over 500 classes. From the very beginning, I felt welcomed in a way I hadn’t experienced in other group fitness settings. The instructors and staff are the warmest, kindest people, and they gave me the confidence to work out in a group environment—something I had always been hesitant about before.

The workouts are thoughtfully differentiated, which means you can go at your own pace and tailor the exercises to your personal goals. That flexibility has been key for me, allowing me to push myself further while still listening to my body.

One of the most unexpected and meaningful parts of my BURN experience has been the friendships I’ve made. I didn’t think, in my late 30s, that I’d be meeting new friends in a workout class, but it’s become such a positive and motivating part of my life. The community here is genuinely special—it’s the least “LA” workout you can find in Los Angeles. No one cares about hair, makeup, or appearances. The people are down-to-earth, supportive, and truly there to get stronger together.

BURN has changed my body, but just as importantly, it has changed my mindset. I now feel confident pushing myself in workouts and proud of the progress I’ve made. It’s an incredible place, and I’m so grateful I found it”

“Maria's class is dynamic, challenging and a serious full body BURN for all the right places. Every single class is different, but with the same bad ass energy. After only a few short months of training with Maria and her amazing BURN Collective team, my body is stronger than ever, and seriously addicted to the intense infrared heated workouts that keeps me coming back for more. BURN Collective has taught me it's possible to reach my fitness goals— but there are no short cuts. Every class, and every rep counts!"

"BURN really is my happy place Here's what's amazing...workouts are the MOST EFFICIENT AND EFFECTIVE that I have EVER done EVER. I've had many instructors that just "instruct" - Maria works out with you...her energy is truly inspiring! BURN COLLECTIVE is about total health - healthy mind, healthy body and a killer workout. I never thought I would achieve my fitness goals - especially after having 3 kids and being into my 40's but I have really never felt more in shape and healthier in my life! Looking forward to much more!”"

“Former athlete turned Burn believer here! I crave a challenging yet supportive environment, and Burn delivers in spades. They've cultivated an incredible community of driven individuals who motivate and inspire each other. Over 200 classes in, and I'm still obsessed! Every session is fresh and exciting, with instructors who bring infectious energy and clear guidance. But what truly sets Burn apart is their science-backed approach. The LED/NIR Red Light and Infrared Heat Therapy is a game-changer, pushing me towards a total transformation – not just physically, but mentally too.Highly recommend Burn!"

“BURN changed my life. I was someone who despised working out. I tried it all. I so badly wanted to be that girl who could show up and move my body 3-5x a week. I would find something and do it for a month and burn myself out and then do anything and everything to avoid going back. I’m over 50 classes into BURN and I’m not only not sick of it but the community it has built is unlike any other workout studio in Los Angeles. Everyone is welcome whether you’re a beginner or advanced. I think the best part of it all is the results you see. The only other time I saw changes in my body was in high school when I was doing varsity soccer and working out 2x a day. My arms are toned and after two kids I can see abs and above all else I feel incredible when the workout is done. BURN has become my happy place and I now can’t imagine now starting my day without it.”

“I’ve easily tried every workout class at least once and to me Burn maximizes my work outs and shows visible results!!!”

Amanda P

“BURN is truly a collective of the absolute best instructors on the island - no matter what class I take, I know I will get a killer workout! The instructors are personable and really do care about you and your fitness goals. The red lights in the studio make all the difference - from recovery to results. I have been working out with Maria for the past 7 years and she has helped me maintain my fitness goals through every life changing event (wedding, pregnancies and overall health). I would highly recommend this studio to anyone!!!”

“A workout like no other. Between the heat, the LED red lights and the weights. I feel and experience a complete workout and the results are amazing !!”
