In BodyBurn, we don’t chase big numbers or heavy loads. We chase control. We chase the kind of muscle engagement that makes every rep count and every movement feel intentional. Tension training is one of the core principles behind how we program BodyBurn. It ’s how we help you build strength you can feel, confidence you can see, and movement quality that carries into everything you do outside the gym. Here’s what tension looks like inside a BodyBurn session, and why our train

A lot of people walk into RayFit thinking fitness is about weight loss or six-pack abs. That might be what gets them through the door. But it’s almost never why they stay. What people discover in RayFit is that fitness, done the right way, changes much more than how you look. It changes how you move, how you feel, and how you show up in your everyday life. That’s what we train for. 1. Feeling Better Matters More Than Looking Ripped Yes, people get stronger here.Yes, bodies ch

BodyBurn days aren’t about pounding your joints or chasing numbers on a treadmill screen.We use eight non-motorized, low-impact cardio machines that let you control the pace, intensity, and feel of every rep: RopeFlex, Versaclimber, Stairway, SkiErg, Assault Bike, AirRunner, Krankcycle, Jacobs Ladder. These machines are built for real training — strong, joint-friendly, and endlessly scalable.Here ’s why they’re such a big part of BodyBurn. 1. They’re easier on your joints a

Most gyms focus on getting through the workout. At RayFit, we focus on doing it right. Good form isn’t optional. It’s the difference between getting stronger and getting hurt, between feeling confident and feeling lost. BodyBurn works because it’s coached, not choreographed. Every rep has eyes on it. Here’s why form matters so much, and why having personal trainers lead BodyBurn makes all the difference. Why Form Matters 1. It keeps you safe Bad form puts stress where it does

Most workouts hit both sides of your body at once with Squats, deadlifts, presses.  Those moves are great, but at RayFit we also train one side at a time. These are called single-sided or unilateral exercises, and they’re one of the keys behind how we program BodyBurn. They help you move better, feel stronger, and stay balanced long after the workout’s over. Why We Train One Side at a Time 1. Better Balance and Stability When you train one side at a time, your body has to rec

Every few months, we evolve the BodyBurn program. Not to reinvent it, but to keep you learning, progressing, and seeing results that actually last. Here’s how it works. BodyBurn runs in 8-week training cycles designed by a lifelong personal trainer and led by certified trainers who know how to teach real form and technique. Over those 8 weeks, you’ll move through carefully structured workouts that build strength, confidence, and muscle safely. This isn’t a “random workout

You’ve probably noticed we never call BodyBurn a “class.” That’s on purpose. A class is something you  attend . You show up, follow along, maybe break a sweat, and leave without anyone really knowing your name or correcting your form.  It’s a format, not a relationship. That’s not what we do here. At RayFit, you’re not just in the room. You’re being trained . That means you’re seen, helped, challenged, and supported every step of the way. We’re watching your form, pushing yo
