You track your PRs. You count your protein. But when's the last time you measured the one metric that predicts how long you're going to live?

Grip strength is the #1 predictor of longevity — and almost nobody in the gym is training it directly. In Episode 108, Devan Kline breaks down exactly why it matters, tests his own grip strength live on camera, and gives you a complete 3-day grip builder you can start this week.

Plus — why dead hangs are one of the best three-for-one exercises you're not doing after camp, the difference between straps and chalk, and why the small holes in your boat are the ones that sink you.

🔥 This week's challenge: After your next camp, dead hang for 30 slow breaths. That's it. Start there.

Brittany looked at the Burn careers page one day and saw three options: find new territory, become a trainer, or own a gym. She called Devan Kline. Jonathan said no. She set up the call anyway. Now they own Burn Boot Camp Southern Pines — and she already wants 15 more.

In this episode, Devan Kline sits down with Brittany and Jonathan Mayes at Burn Boot Camp HQ — a nurse anesthesiologist and a mom of four who homeschooled during COVID, found Burn, and never looked back.

S3 Ep. 106: Grocery Store Psychology: How Stores Are Engineered to Destroy Your Nutrition Goals Sep 02, 2026

Show notes

🍫 Afterburn Protein → shop.burnbootcamp.com | Code: POD10

You're showing up to the gym 3–4 times a week. You're putting in the work. And then you walk into a grocery store that's been engineered — literally engineered — to destroy every single goal you just worked for.

In Episode 106, Devan Kline pulls back the curtain on grocery store psychology: how the layout, the shelf placement, the packaging, and the marketing are all designed to get you to buy the wrong things — and what to do about it.

The rules:

— 5 ingredients or less = generally good

— Can't pronounce it? Don't eat it

— 80% of your cart from the perimeter, 20% from the middle

— Eat a giant bowl of fruit before you snack on anything else

🔥 This week's challenge: Next time you grocery shop, flip over 5 products and read the ingredient list. Just 5. See what you find

S3 Ep. 105: He Camped Outside Chick-fil-A. She Was Always on a Diet. Then They Lost 276 lbs Together. Aug 31, 2026

Show notes

Jose grew up in a trailer in Indian Town, Florida. Stephanie spent her entire childhood on a diet that never worked. At their heaviest, they were carrying over 276 pounds of extra weight between them — and going further in the wrong direction every year.

Today, Jose is a Burn Boot Camp trainer. Stephanie is a midwife leader. Their 11-year-old son reads nutrition labels and knows his macros. And together they've lost 276 pounds — not through a quick fix, not through a fad diet — but through a complete identity transformation that took four years and changed every single thing about who they are.

In Episode 105, Devan Kline sits down with Jose and Stephanie Martinez for one of the most raw, honest, and inspiring conversations ever recorded on the Burn Boot Camp podcast.

S3 Ep. 104: Why Working Out With Others Beats Going It Alone, According to Science Aug 26, 2026

Show notes

You've been going to the gym. But are you actually getting everything out of it?

Science says only 17–37% of solo gym members are still showing up regularly after their first year. In structured group programs? That number jumps to 69%. The difference isn't discipline. It's community.

In Episode 104, Devan Kline breaks down the four pillars of training with others — and why your willpower will never get you as far as somebody else's belief in you.

🔥 This week's challenge: Find one person at your next camp who inspires you. Tell them. That's it. Start there.

S3 Ep. 103: Greg Olsen on TJ's Heart Transplant, Leaving the NFL & What Nobody Tells You About Leadership Aug 24, 2026

Show notes

Greg Olsen didn't just play tight end for 11 seasons in the NFL. He learned what championship culture actually looks like — and what it costs to build it.

In this episode, Devan Kline sits down with Fox NFL analyst, Super Bowl broadcaster, entrepreneur, and Charlotte legend Greg Olsen for one of the most honest, wide-ranging, and inspiring conversations in podcast history.

From the locker room to the broadcast booth to coaching middle school football — Greg breaks down why the lessons of athletics are really lessons for life, how his family navigated TJ's heart transplant and turned their worst moment into $11 million raised for children's cardiac care, and what he's learned about leadership, adversity, and purpose on the other side of professional sports.

S3 Ep. 102: Stop the Dopamine Detox. Do This Instead. | 30 Days Without Scrolling Aug 19, 2026

Show notes

🫐 New: Afterburn Blueberry Muffin Protein → shop.burnbootcamp.com | Code: POD10

The average American checks their phone 96 times a day. That's once every 10 minutes of waking life. 6 hours and 51 minutes of screen time. 2 hours and 41 minutes of social media. The question isn't whether you should put the phone down. The question is — what are you doing while you're on it?

In Episode 102, Devan Kline breaks down what doom scrolling is actually doing to your brain, why the 30-day dopamine detox advice misses the point entirely, and the one simple adjustment that turns your screen time from a liability into an asset.You don't need a social media fast. You need intention. And this episode gives you the framework to find it.

🔥 This week's challenge: Next time you pick up your phone, ask yourself: at the end of this, what did I learn? What did I just do? That one question changes everything.

S3 Ep. 100: Nutrition on a Budget: How to Eat Like an Athlete on $75 a Week Aug 12, 2026

Show notes

🛒 Shop nutrition → shop.burnbootcamp.com | Code: POD10

You think eating healthy is expensive. You're wrong — and Devan Kline is going to prove it with math.

Most Americans spend $150+ a week on food and feel like they have no choice. But 8 ounces of chicken breast, 6 ounces of rice, and half a sweet potato costs about $3 a meal. That's $70 a week for an athlete hitting 200 grams of protein and 2,000+ calories a day. And if you're spending less on groceries than your gym membership — you just paid for your membership by eating better.

In Episode 100, Devan Kline and producer Chelsea break down exactly how to eat like an athlete on roughly $75 a week — the real math behind healthy eating on a budget, why the "eating healthy is expensive" excuse is keeping you stuck, and how to become the CEO of your own nutrition and finances.

There are a million ways to justify mediocrity. Eating healthy being "too expensive" is one of the most common. Today that excuse ends.

🔥 This week's challenge: Run the experiment. Buy groceries for one week. Eat at home. Calculate the cost per day. DM Devan what you find.
