TikTok says cortisol is bad, seed oils are toxic, and you need sea moss. Devan Kline reacts to the trends live and talk through how to tell what’s worth your attention. In Episode 118, Devan breaks down why the same cortisol that shows up in a hard Camp isn’t the same story as chronic stress, how the 5-second hook is built to sell to you, and why “safe” and “what everyone else is doing” aren’t the...

Happiness isn't something that happens to you — it's a skill you practice. In this episode, DK breaks down Maslow's hierarchy of needs to explain why true fulfillment starts with self-esteem, not social esteem, and why the goal isn't to feel good all the time — it's self-actualization. If you've ever felt like something's missing even though life looks fine on paper — this episode is for you. 🎧 N...

Before there were 3,000 trainers and 400+ locations across the country, there was a gymnastics studio, some dumbbells, and a handful of moms willing to show up at 5:30 AM.

Confidence isn't a talent you're born with — it's a skill you build. In this episode, DK breaks down the real difference between confidence and arrogance, and lays out three practical, no-fluff ways to actually gain confidence in your life (no "fake it till you make it" here). If you've ever wondered how to build real, earned confidence instead of faking it — this episode...

She was a military spouse who'd moved every 1-3 years, a mom who'd stepped away from teaching, and someone who "couldn't possibly" own a gym. Then two words changed everything: why not you? In this episode, DK sits down with Katie Garcia — new Burn Boot Camp franchise partner opening in Wesley Chapel, FL this fall — to unpack her full journey: from finding her identity again on the training floor,...

Protein gets all the attention — but is fiber actually the nutrient with the biggest gap in your diet? In this episode, DK breaks down the "fiber maxing" trend and why most people are only hitting 10-15g of fiber a day when they should be closer to 25g (women) or 38g (men). We cover: - What fiber actually is (and the difference between soluble vs. insoluble) - New science terms trending in 2026: f...

You come to camp for 45 minutes. That's 3% of your day. And then what? Most people walk to and from their car and call it enough. The average American takes just 4,700 steps a day. Hunter-gatherers took 10,000 to 15,000 — and their bodies showed it. In Episode 110, Devan Kline breaks down the difference between training, exercise, and activity — and why movement as a way of being is the missin...

Shop nutrition → shop.burnbootcamp.com | Code: POD10 You track your PRs. You count your protein. But when's the last time you measured the one metric that predicts how long you're going to live?

🍫 Afterburn Protein → shop.burnbootcamp.com | Code: POD10 You're showing up to the gym 3–4 times a week. You're putting in the work.

In Episode 106, Devan Kline pulls back the curtain on grocery store psychology: how the layout, the shelf placement,...

Stephanie is a midwife leader. Their 11-year-old son reads nutrition labels and knows his macros. And to...

You've been going to the gym. But are you actually getting everything out of it? Science says only 17–37% of solo gym members are still showing up regularly after their first year.

In Episode 104, Devan Kline breaks down the four pillars of training with others — and why your willpower will nev...

🛒 Shop nutrition → shop.burnbootcamp.com | Code: POD10 You think eating healthy is expensive. You're wrong — and Devan Kline is going to prove it with math. Most Americans spend $150+ a week on food and feel like they have no choice. But 8 ounces of chicken breast, 6 ounces of rice, and half a sweet potato costs about $3 a meal. That's $70 a week for an athlete hitting 200 grams of protei...
