How Do Military Skills Translate to Burn Boot Camp Ownership?
BUILT ON SKILLS YOU ALREADY KNOW
One of the biggest adjustments when considering entrepreneurship can be moving from an environment with established procedures and expectations into the uncertainty of owning a business. Franchising offers a different path than starting completely on your own. Rather than creating a concept, systems and operating procedures from the ground up, you become part of an established brand with a defined business model and structure.
LEADERSHIP
Lead Trainers and staff, communicate clearly, develop people and maintain high-performance standards throughout the gym.
PROVEN SYSTEMS
Burn provides Franchise Partners with a proven model, defined processes and clear expectations to follow rather than building everything from scratch.
ACCOUNTABILITY
The system provides direction, but Franchise Partners are responsible for executing locally, maintaining standards and taking ownership of team performance.
TEAMWORK
Build trust, set an example and help your team understand how their individual roles contribute to a larger objective.

FROM SERVING YOUR COUNTRY TO SERVING YOUR COMMUNITY
For many people, military service provides something beyond a career. It offers a sense of mission, camaraderie and the knowledge that your individual effort contributes to something larger than yourself. Owning a Burn Boot Camp franchise offers a very different kind of mission, but one that is still centered around people and community. As a Franchise Partner, you have an opportunity to build relationships, develop a team and create an environment where people encourage one another to become stronger and pursue meaningful goals. Camaraderie can become community. The accountability once shared with fellow service members can take a new form as Trainers, staff and Members support one another. The desire to serve others can become an opportunity to positively impact people in the community where you live and do business. You are no longer serving your country in the same way, but you can continue putting your leadership and desire to make a difference to work for others.
WHAT SUPPORT IS AVAILABLE FOR VETERAN ENTREPRENEURS?
Moving into business ownership does not mean you have to make the transition without support. The International Franchise Association’s VetFran program is designed to help veterans explore franchise ownership and connect them with opportunities offered by participating franchise brands. Burn Boot Camp participates in VetFran, providing another way for qualified military candidates to explore whether franchise ownership could be the right next step in their professional journey.

THE VETFRAN ADVANTAGE
For qualifying military candidates, Burn offers a 15% reduction on the initial franchise fee through its participation in VetFran, as outlined in Burn’s Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD). That financial benefit can help reduce the upfront cost of becoming a Franchise Partner, but the support doesn’t stop there. Franchise Partners also become part of Burn’s established system with ongoing corporate support as they build and operate their businesses. For veterans evaluating entrepreneurship, that combination can be particularly valuable. You can bring the discipline, leadership and teamwork developed during military service into a proven business system, while having resources and support behind you as you begin the next stage of your career.

TAKE THE NEXT STEP IN YOUR POST-SERVICE JOURNEY
Your military experience is part of what brought you to this point. It can also become part of what takes you forward. The ability to lead people, operate within a structured system, maintain high standards, work as part of a team and stay focused on a mission can all have a place in business ownership. Burn Boot Camp offers an opportunity to take those capabilities into a new environment, build something of your own and make an impact in the community you serve. Your next mission may look very different from your last one, but you don’t have to leave behind the skills that helped you get here.
Veterans Who Made the Transition to Ownership
Hear from Veterans who burned their leadership into ownership and are building stronger businesses and communities.
"My message to female Veterans, especially me being myself one, is that the military has taught you how to be successful in Burn Boot Camp. It has taught you how to face challenges, how to pull your team together, how to focus on goals, how to build community. All those things you learn, that's going to help you be stronger.”
“I loved serving for 20 years in the Navy. I loved being a pilot, but I was ready for a change in my career.… when I learned about becoming a Franchise Partner, this is eight years after I got out of the Navy, I think I was just ready for that message. And I think I was ready to open up a business with my wife and start a legacy for our family.”
“when you're in the service, you're a part of a team, you have a mission. And when you become a Franchise Partner with Burn, you're part of another team that has a different mission. … it's a good way to be a part of a team and continue serving other people”
