Today we’d like to introduce you to Leah Purcell. Below you’ll find edited excerpts of our interview with Leah.

Leah, please share your story with us. How did you get to where you are today?
Before I became a fitness advisor I started out my career as a professional dancer in New York City, performing in numerous Broadway National Tours.

After 4 years in New York I then moved back to my native home of Southern California with my husband where we started our family. Always being a healthy, active person and seeing my body change not only from childbirth but also entering my 30’s I knew keeping in shape wasn’t going to be as easy as before. I had then decided to make fitness and nutrition a priority. Health is something that should be an important factor in one’s everyday life no matter what age or fitness level. I started teaching Dance Fitness classes as well as Barre and saw that my body was changing, but I knew I needed something more. Being a full-time mother and having a job also left me with fewer options for working out. I just didn’t have the time.

Then, I started researching different types of training methods and discovered the benefits of High Intensity Interval Training. Not only are these workouts more efficient but they are fun! With limited time in today’s world, completeBURN looks to short (35 min) High Intensity Interval (HIIT) training classes as the foundation of its program to optimize its clients results in the most efficient way possible. I started completeBURN to help improve the lives of people through a uniquely designed community-based fitness program that maximizes physical strength, flexibility and mental focus. We’ve partnered with MioGlobal a recognized pioneer in the sport and fitness technology industry. By having clients use the MioFUSE (a wearable fitness tracker with heart rate monitor) clients can then track their specific heart rate zones to ensure optimal training. In addition to in studio training, completeBURN will also be launching an online subscription based option for participants who live outside the Los Angeles Area (starting fall of 2016).

Has it been a smooth road?
Yes, it’s been a great journey thus far. After conducting a closed 8 week trial of the program participants saw incredible results including weight and body fat loss, decrease in cholesterol levels, and lowered blood pressure. Since then we have a steady clientele of dedicated people and we are opening new time slots as well as add an online subscription option to the program.

What are your plans for the future?
We will be demoing our program at the 2016 IDEA World Convention in Los Angeles from July 14^th – July 16^that the MioGlobal Booth (#1251).

We are very excited to be launching our online video subscription based program starting in the Fall of 2016 allowing our current in studio clients to continue their progress while on the go or on vacation as well as allow new clients who aren’t local to get the benefit of what completeBURN Fitness has to offer in the comfort of their own home. This program has been designed with our partner’s products in mind (i.e. MioGlobal’sMioFuse fitness tracker, SPRI’s Step360, etc.) these items will be available for direct purchase through our site to maximize your in-home experience.
