The Devan Kline Show

Please welcome Heather Hirsh! I met Heather through Shaklee! Morgan and I met Heather on a Shaklee team cruise back when I was 25 years old when the Burn Boot Camp story was young. 

Heather has an amazing transformation story herself. She referred to her former self as a "tired mom" with headaches and hormone issues. Then she found Shaklee, lost 30 pounds, and completely changed her life. 

Today, Heather is the owner of Burn Boot Camp Mt. Laurel, Burn Boot Camp Voorhees, and Burn Boot Camp Hainesport. She is also a trainer at all her locations. I've never seen anyone take on challenges quite like her. 

We dive into some really great topics today. 

• How Heather crushes her challenges head-on 
• What her favorite memory of Burn Boot Camp ownership has been so far 
• What lead me to where I am today
• Emotional repression + defining our own results 
• Who would Heather pick for her Burn Trainer all-star team 
• How Zoom workouts have been going for Heather

Heather is an amazing individual and we are so proud to call her a member of the Burn Boot Camp family. You can find Heather on Instagram - @fitburnmom

DJ'S CORNER - Tune in to hear what workouts DJ loves! 

Here is your inspiring track for the weekend. Listen carefully and take notes; this will change your life if you allow it to do so. 

NO DAYS OFF 

Let me tell you what “no days off” means to me! Everyone needs to give their body a breather from weights and high-intensity but that does not mean sit still. From yoga, foam rolling, heading out for a long walk, there are great things you can do to take a rest from heavy lifting. I will never tell you how to set up your weekend plan. That’s up to you. You know your weekends are coming every weekend. 

• Set up your environment to be around people who are generally healthy. 
• What days of the week are you going to allow yourself 10% to modify your healthy lifestyle? 

Then, get to living. 

WHEN I KNEW BURN BOOT CAMP WAS GOING TO BE SUCCESSFUL

I’ve told this story before. It was a Saturday camp in 2012 in the parking lot. This is the moment I knew that we had something special. What we’ve created a Burn Boot Camp is a community. We are more than a workout. We are more than fitness. Listen in and I will tell you this amazing story of teamwork, accountability, and more. 

SKIP THE COOKIE CUTTER PLANS

I don’t like “cookie-cutter” plans for you. WHY? It’s done TO YOU and not FOR YOU. You need something unique for your body, your personality, your lifestyle. We don’t share the same goals, might be similar, but not the same.

So, how can a “done for you plan” be beneficial? There is no one way to do it. We want you to be you. I want your life to work for you. Life is no fun on someone else’s plan. When you have ownership, you are far more likely to succeed. 

OWN YOUR GOALS

I want you to set goals that are BIG. You are setting your goals too low. The hard fact is that you’ve got to get out of your comfort zone. Belief leads to momentum, momentum leads to results, results lead to more potential. It’s time to take control of your life. We are transcending fitness and translate into other areas of your life. 

IT’S NOT PHYSICAL FITNESS

 When we start working out, we start to see our bodies change. That’s not transformation. It’s all about being aware of your emotional fitness and take advantage of the way that you physically look. There are millions of people who LOOK GREAT but FEEL BAD. I want you to FEEL GOOD and LOVE HOW YOU LOOK. Empower yourself to live your best life. Move your body.

Join me for Ask The Klines, where Morgan and I take on questions from the audience, chat about hot topics, and partake in some fun games! Today, we are playing some fun games, diving into our relationship, and more!

Jessica "Evil" Eye joins us today. Jessica is a professional MMA fighter and is known as one of the best strikers in professional boxing.

When you hear about Jessica in the ring, you listen to things about her having quick hands, impeccable footwork, and a diverse range of punching combos. But, after talking to her today, I came to realize she is far more than just an award-winning MMA fighter. 

Jessica is inspiring in her own right and knows a lot about believing in herself and overcoming the odds. I learned a lot from her, and I know you can too. 

Dating back to her childhood, Jessica talks about how her father was physically and emotionally abusive. At 32 years old, she's been able to grow from those experiences rather than let the negativity take over. 

Not only has she worked to overcome a tough childhood, but she's also faced pushback for being a female in the world of MMA. Her will, her determination, and luckily, some coaches who believed in her helped to make her dream a reality. 

I love how Jessica empowers women, like the women in our Burn Boot Camp gyms, to go after what they know they can do. She's pushed through self-doubt, knockouts, and rough fights to hold the title as #1 in the UFC women's flyweight rankings and #12 in UFC women's pound-for-pound rankings.

During some of Jessica's biggest failures, she has found that people see her strength the most. Her goal, aside from being a great athlete, is to inspire people to do anything that they want to do. 

Check out the full episode because Jessica has so many awesome things to share. 

• Her childhood and growing up in Cleveland, OH
• The trials and tribulations of Jessica's journey through UFC
• Being the first UFC female to fight in Mexico City 
• Losing a match because of a failed test or missing weight
• Losing streaks and winning streaks 
• How she's grateful for her male training partners 
• Her relationship with her brother
• Social media pressures 
• Jessica's mindset
• Building self-confidence and so much more..

Please welcome Mike Hartshorne, "The Sheriff," one of the OGs of #BurnNation. Right off the bat, Mike tells us the story about his infamous nickname. 

Mike Hartshorne is the owner of Burn Boot Camp Concord, Burn Boot Camp Harrisburg and Burn Boot Camp Grand Rapids!

We talk about what our biggest challenges have been when it comes to building the Burn Boot Camp business and brand. Mike shares that his transition from the head trainer, owner, Burn Ambassador, and more to stepping back and not being able to be that main person was tough for him. But, because of that, Mike has been able to open multiple locations and help change even more lives in communities in many states. 

Mike has been around since the parking lot days, and we get to reminisce on that amazing time in the Burn Boot Camp journey. We also answer some of these questions: 

• How to become a great Burn Boot Camp trainer
• Mike's experience with franchising and his story
• How to combat hunger and our tactics to mindful eating

Mike was an excellent guest to have on, and you all seemed to love him so we will be bringing him back for a round 2 hangout!

What do Arnold Schwarzenegger, Oprah Winfrey, you and I have in common? WE CAN ALL OVERCOME OUR PAST, and some of us have. 

Today, I urge you to remember this: Your past does not define you. I've experienced a lot of trauma, mostly throughout my childhood and teen years.

At 32 years old, I can see that my past, those negative experiences do not define me. Instead, they drive me to be the person I am today. 

The question I am asking you is not ARE you going to be somewhere in 5 years, but WHERE will you be in the next five years. Time will pass regardless of what you do, so be sure to choose wisely. 

Here are some things I want you to remember: 

• You gut instinct should hold the most weight 
• You are what you continually speak
• Your energy unlocks your potential power 
• Unlock your energy by putting forward an enchanted vision of your life 
• Set your goals based on what hasn't been done 
• Take time to DREAM BIG, and you can unlock a new level of confidence 
• Failing at a big goal is a more significant achievement than completing a small goal, so play big

My promise to you is this: I will always push you. I will always challenge you. I want you to crush goals that you never thought were possible. 

Tune in today because I want you to succeed. For more inspiration and motivation, head over to my Instagram @devan.kline.
