Attention Attention! … We have some MAJOR updates & announcements for Fall 2026 here at Burn Kickboxing in North Syracuse! You’re about to see what all the hype is about and why we’re the MOST EXCITED we’ve ever been!
Most know by now our studio here at Burn in North Syracuse serves both kids & adults and that is something we’ve been focused on these past 3 years. When Burn Kickboxing was first founded over 10 years ago, we served only adults and with our background in youth martial arts and education, the opening of our studio to our youth here in CNY to develop them into strong and confident leaders both on and off the mats has been very successful. We love and value both our programs for kids and adults… and now that we have proven both are here to stay, it’s time to give both the upgrades they need and deserve to get even better!
We have scheduled 3 phases of construction at the studio and phase 1 is happening this Fall.
In phase 1, we are transitioning training Floor 1 into our adults only area. Adults will start to enter and exit from our west entrance. Half walls are being built to separate the training floor from entrance area. Lockers, shoe racks, computer systems, pro shop, coat racks, and all things for adults are being repositioned into this space and it will now serve you from entry to exit all within these 4 walls. Changing rooms and bathrooms will remain the same for now, but there will be no more cross over of our adult members with our youth members. Adults - when you enter you’ll be immediately greeted by trainers on the floor ready to serve you and when it’s time to leave, you’ll be getting your name shouted for when we’ll be seeing you next. The dedication to our adults program, serving with a purpose, and providing the best possible experience is what this phase 1 of construction will do for our adults. We are very much looking forward to this upgrade! … And most importantly, this means in phase 1… weekly class times (Monday - Thursday) of 4:30, 5:30, 6:30 every single night of the week for adults! Additionally, we are adding more strength training classes in the mornings as well. We love our kids but it’s time for our adults to have back a space of their own again. You’ll also be seeing more of a gap in between classes (15 minutes again) to give you that time you need to stay and stretch for a few and/or connect with your trainers on your fitness and life goals. I speak for the entire team when I say we are very much looking forward to this! … And don’t let me forget to mention in this opportunity that Coach Kristen McKenna is being added on full time as our Adult Program Coordinator & Team Leader! Kristen brings a passion for kickboxing, our adult community, team development, and drive for the sincere well being of others that is second to none. Congrats Kristen!
In phase 1 with our youth program, all parents and kids will enter and exit from our east entrance. Shoes, lockers, coats, cubbies, and cards will all still function out of this space for our juniors. This type of flow will have our youth and adult programs in 2 separate spaces at all times (except for if needing to use the bathrooms). Parents will now have dedicated seating on floor 2 for ALL classes. The format of our kids classes and staging areas will be having some focus put on it for kids and instructors to create better routine and consistency when coming and going. With the continued progress of our juniors, you’ll be seeing Lil Burners in their own class, White glove juniors in their own class, Yellow/Orange/Purple in their own class, and Blue/Green/Red in their own class. Additionally, on Fridays and Saturdays we are moving the classes to age-specific (not level-specific)… meaning all kids will have options to attend based on their specific age group. These will be broken down into 4-7, 8-10, 11-13. All of this means more class time options for parents to attend when most convenient for your schedule! With that said, more class times being added, so we are also opening a new wave of kids enrollments… share this message with anyone you know interested. More info online at http://burnkickboxingkids.com … starting 9/28.
DATES: Studio upgrades are happening Friday, 9/11 through Monday, 9/14. We’ll have classes Friday morning 9/11… then will be closed until Tuesday, 9/15. Tuesday will be the start of our new schedule, which will be released soon. Graduation for our youth program (those kids that have 3 stripes) is being scheduled for Friday, 9/25… times tba.

Most do not know that our 5,000 square foot studio here at 628 South Main Street in North Syracuse was originally built in the expansion to serve 2 separate businesses, so we’re confident these upgrades will deliver the space and experience we’re looking to create for all our members. Phases 2 & 3 will bring a bigger expansion of floor 2 for our youth program and repositioning of workout area for our adult program. We’ll be looking at this in late 2026 / early 27. Additionally, our website, client booking system for classes, communications systems and more are in the process of being upgraded now as well.
We thank you for being a part of Burn Kickboxing. We welcome back anyone from over the past 10 years that has ever stepped foot inside our doors to experience these Fall 2026 upgrades. We are dedicated to constant and never ending improvement of our studio, staff, members, and programs. We are on a quest to be our best. Thank you for your loyalty and support through the years.
