Meet Tom Gurganus.
ACE Certified Personal Trainer. Former boxer. Founder of Burn Fitness Studio. If you've trained with Tom, you already know — this isn't a job for him, it's a mission. Here's a closer look at the man, the method, and the mindset behind Burn.
Fitness, made personal.
Burn Fitness Studio opened its doors in 2016 with one idea driving everything: fitness shouldn't be generic. No crowded classes, no cookie-cutter programs — just coaching built around the person in front of him. That idea is still the foundation of every session at Burn today.
Why fragmented fitness fails.
Tom's biggest frustration with the fitness industry? Most programs split your effort across strength, recovery, and mobility work — but never get all three working together. That's why Burn is built around the Synergy Effect: BURNFIT strength training, EMPULSE recovery and cellular activation, and structured mobility work, compounding together instead of competing for your time.
He knows the "why," not just the "what."
Tom's coaching goes deeper than reps and sets. He studies the research — like how muscle loss accelerates after estrogen decline, or why resistance training matters more than cardio for long-term strength — and builds it directly into how he trains every client, at every stage of life.
From first-timers to former athletes.
Long before Burn, Tom was a competitive boxer — and that background shows up in how he coaches today. Patient, hands-on, and just as comfortable teaching a kid their first jab as he is programming an EMS session for a client rebuilding strength after injury.
Therapy looks different for everyone.
For some clients, an hour at Burn is about strength or aesthetics. For others, it's the one part of their week that's just for them — a reset for the mind as much as the body. Tom trains both, and never treats one as more important than the other.
Training the mind, too.
Ask anyone who's trained with Tom and they'll tell you: the physical work is only half of it. He talks openly about mindset, discipline, and staying prepared — in the gym and outside of it.
