What is the biggest difference between the two gyms?
Burn Boot Camp trains you for general fitness. Bluff City Performance trains you for a specific event, then lets you use the building however you want the rest of the time.
Burn Boot Camp Collierville is a franchise location of a national brand. Every camp lasts 45 minutes, opens with a dynamic warm-up, rotates you through strength and conditioning stations, and closes with a Finisher that runs under five minutes. The daily focus changes: Full Body Strength one day, Arms and Core the next, Athletic Conditioning on Saturday. The gym advertises never running the same workout twice, and its published list of a dozen named session types backs that up. Trainers walk the floor during camp and adjust exercises for injuries, pregnancy, or beginner fitness levels. A floating floor absorbs impact under every station.
Bluff City Performance is a locally owned Official HYROX Training Club. HYROX is a fitness race that alternates 1km runs with eight workout stations: SkiErg, sled push, sled pull, burpee broad jumps, rowing, farmers carry, sandbag lunges, and wall balls. Every 60-minute class works one or two of those stations in a skill or strength block, then moves into running and functional conditioning. The coaches program in cycles (Base, Build, Peak, Recover) so each session builds on the last, and the gym hosts a full-format race simulation on its own floor every quarter. You do not need a race on the calendar to train there. The classes scale to beginners as well as competitive racers.
How do the schedules and access compare?
Burn wins on class frequency. Bluff City wins on hours in the building.
Burn Boot Camp Collierville posts several camps per weekday, starting before 6 AM and running into the early evening, with Saturday morning camps as well. Childwatch is available at select camp times, and you book camps and reserve Childwatch spots through the Burn Boot Camp app. If you need a coached workout in the middle of a weekday morning with your kids looked after in the next room, that is the schedule built for you.
Bluff City Performance runs coached classes each weekday at 5:30am and 5:30pm. Outside those hours, members use a personal access fob to train on the open floor any time of day, any day of the year. The floor has Concept2 rowers and SkiErgs, sleds, sandbags, wall balls, squat racks, barbells, and a full dumbbell and kettlebell range. The front desk is staffed Monday through Friday from 5 AM to 8 PM, Saturday 7 AM to noon, and Sunday 9 AM to noon. If your work day ends late, or you want to lift on your own program four days a week and get coached on the fifth, the 24/7 access does more work for you than a class calendar would.
Burn Boot Camp Collierville
Membership at Burn Boot Camp comes in two forms: a single gym plan tied to Collierville, or a universal plan with privileges at Burn locations nationwide. Pricing is set by each location, so you contact the gym for numbers.
The community angle is real and the gym leans into it. Each camp ends with "two claps on two," a small ritual that closes the session. Marshmello Mondays bring exclusive playlists to the floor. Trainers are all certified personal trainers, and the gym describes its approach as personal training in a group setting.
Best for: parents who need childcare to make a workout happen, people who want a morning or midday class, anyone who prefers a different session every day, and members who value nutrition and goal check-ins as part of the package.
Worth knowing: training happens in the camps. The gym does not advertise an open gym window for solo lifting between sessions.
Bluff City Performance
Bluff City Performance is a locally owned training club offering membership at $125 per month with no contract. That price covers unlimited coached HYROX classes and 24/7 access to the training floor. The first class is free, no card required. Certified HYROX trainers run every session, and classes scale from first-timers to competitive racers.
Beyond group training, the gym offers private, appointment-only personal training in 60-minute and 30-minute sessions, with package and member discounts. Quarterly race simulations are timed and judged to HYROX standards, open to members and guests, though the gym notes they are not officially sanctioned HYROX events.
Best for: people training for a HYROX race or any timed fitness event, athletes who want structured programming that progresses in cycles, anyone who lifts on their own and wants a coached session as a supplement, and members who need to train outside standard class hours.
Worth knowing: coached classes run at 5:30am and 5:30pm on weekdays. Training outside those times means the open floor, not a class.
Which gym fits you?
Four questions settle most of it.
Do you have a race or event in mind? If yes, Bluff City Performance programs specifically for it.
When can you train? A morning or midday class schedule points to Burn. A late evening or an unpredictable one points to Bluff City's 24/7 access.
Do you need childcare during your workout? Burn Boot Camp Collierville includes it with membership.
Do you want to train alone some days? Bluff City gives you a fully equipped floor to do that. Burn is built around the camp experience from start to finish.

Both gyms let you walk in and train before spending anything. Bluff City Performance offers a free first class with no card on file.
