PF BURN:
CARDIO GYM CLASSES YOU’LL ACTUALLY LOOK FORWARD TO
PF Burn is a free, trainer-led cardio class included with every Planet Fitness membership. Part of the PE@PF program, it is designed to help you build cardio fitness, boost energy and feel more confident with High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT)-style group training. All fitness levels are welcome, and your trainer can offer modifications so you can work at a pace that suits you.
WHY PEOPLE KEEP COMING BACK TO PF BURN?
PF Burn is not just about burning calories. It is about making cardio feel like something you can come back to.
Here are just some of the reasons our members love our cardio gym classes.
-
Supports heart and lung health
Regular cardio training is one of the most well-established ways to support cardiovascular fitness over time.
-
Boosts your mood
High-intensity exercise is one of the most reliable ways to trigger that post-workout “feel good” buzz, not just straight after your class, but in the days that follow.
-
It’s time-efficient
The interval format packs real cardio effort into a short session, so you’re not clocking 45+ minutes of steady, low-intensity cardio to get a similar result.
-
It keeps you moving and motivated
The class format, trainer cues and group energy can help you stay with the workout when solo cardio would be easier to quit.
-
It’s social and fun
Group training brings a bit of energy and camaraderie that’s hard to replicate when doing it solo, making it feel less like a chore.
-
Included in every membership, no extra cost
PF Burn is part of PE@PF, so it’s already covered whether you’re on Classic or PF Black Card®.
FEEL THE BURN, LOVE THE BUZZ
For many people, doing cardio can feel like a chore. 30 minutes on the treadmill while you watch the timer countdown. A 2km run around the block in the dark, and on your own.
But it doesn’t have to be that way. PF Burn is built around energy, not endurance for the sake of it: short, intense bursts, a trainer keeping the pace up, and a room full of people working just as hard as you are.
That combination is what makes the “buzz” real. Interval training gets your heart rate up fast, the group energy makes the effort feel lighter than it would solo, and the format keeps changing so you’re never stuck doing the same repetitive session twice.
It is included with every Planet Fitness membership at no extra cost, ready and waiting in your PE@PF timetable.
WHAT IS PF BURN AT PLANET FITNESS?
PF Burn is a free, cardio-focused PE@PF class designed to get your heart rate up, challenge your stamina and help you build confidence with cardio in a way that feels fun, social and achievable.
It may include bursts of effort, short recovery periods and a mix of movements that keep the workout changing. Depending on the session, you may work through cardio drills, bodyweight exercises, functional movements or circuit-style stations.
The goal is not to make cardio feel brutal. It is to make cardio feel energising, fun, and most importantly, something you want to come back to!
Your trainer guides the session, explains each movement and gives you options so you can dial things up, bring things down or find a version that works for your body. You still get the sweat and energy of a group cardio class, but without the pressure of needing to arrive already fit.
WHAT TO BRING TO PF BURN CLASS
-
Water Bottle
Hydration is key in cardio! Keep your water close by between sets and stay ready to move.
-
Comfortable Activewear
Wear activewear you can move freely in, this one gets your heart rate up more than most PE@PF classes.
-
Towel
Bring a towel to wipe down equipment and stay comfortable throughout your class.
IS PF BURN A HIIT CLASS?
PF Burn has a HIIT-style feel, but it is not about throwing you into an intimidating workout and hoping you survive.
HIIT stands for high-intensity interval training. A HIIT-style class usually alternates between harder efforts and lower-intensity recovery, helping you move through bursts of work and moments to reset.
PF Burn takes that interval-style energy and brings it into a beginner-friendly PE@PF environment. You can work hard without overdoing it, choose the lower-impact option, build up gradually, and take a breath when you need one.
So, if you are searching for HIIT classes near me, group HIIT classes near me or HIIT classes for beginners near me, PF Burn is a strong place to start. It gives you the energy of HIIT-style training with the support and flexibility to make it your own.
WHAT HAPPENS IN A PF BURN CLASS?
PF Burn is built around movement that keeps coming.
Your trainer leads the class through a cardio-focused workout that may include intervals, bodyweight movements, light weights, functional exercises or circuit-style stations. You might be stepping, running or squatting, with exercises including burpees, squat jumps, mountain climbers, kettle bell swings, and sit ups.
Classes may take place on the gym floor, in the functional training area or in the 30-minute workout space. Equipment may include kettlebells, dumbbells, weight plates, resistance bands, mini bands and more, depending on your club, timetable and what your trainer has planned.
The exact format can change from class to class, which helps keep things fresh. Some sessions may feel more interval-based, while others may feel more circuit-based. Either way, PF Burn is designed to keep you engaged, get you sweating and help you build cardio fitness over time.
