Our Story
Hey! We’re Kasseem and Michelle, the owners of Burn 60 in Los Angeles, CA.
Simply put, we love helping people, we love health & fitness and we love building relationships.
We’re on a mission to help busy adults train smarter, gain energy, lose weight, feel healthy and add more life to their years without fad diets or workouts that beat up your body. We know you want to be the strongest version of yourself. Let’s make it happen.
We believe fitness is a deeply personal experience that can positively impact every other aspect of your life, so your fitness journey should be personalized for you, to meet you where you’re at. Individualizing the experience is at the core of what we do and we work alongside our clients to find what works best for each of them. This doesn’t exclude large group classes. In Burn classes, we don’t believe in overcrowded rooms and clients hiding in the background. We believe in providing everyone with enough attention for them to succeed and be held accountable in a friendly, inclusive environment. We program with sustainability and intentional movement in mind so our clients can train safely for as long as possible. When our clients win, we win and we aim to transform as many lives as we can by helping people prioritize their health and fitness.

Meet The Owners
Originally from Portland, OR, Kasseem has been in the LA fitness industry for over 13 years and has evolved from being the top trainer at multiple studios around LA to now owning Burn 60. He comes from an athletic background, having played football in college before getting into training his own classes and clients.
He believes in tapping into people’s own limiting beliefs and helping them push past those barriers. There’s a perfect balance between sustainable training for longevity, and challenging your body and mind enough to make real, lasting progress and change. Balanced, effective training is his core focus and coaching clients through moving better and gaining control of their bodies is his true passion. With the right program, coaching and support, he believes everyone can enjoy fitness as an integral part of their life.
Kasseem has won “Best Instructor” in the “Best of” ClassPass Awards in 2017 and 2022 and Burn 60 recently won “One to Watch” in 2023.
Michelle brings a background in Operations, Communications and PR from the corporate world – and a lifelong love of movement.
Growing up as a dancer and figure-skater, staying active has always been part of who she is. She first walked through Burn 60’s doors as a client in 2019 and was immediately drawn in – not just by the workouts, but by the people she got to share them with.
Joining Kasseem to build this business together was an easy decision. Fitness has shaped so much of her life mentally, physically, and beyond, and that’s exactly why she’s here. She wants as many people as possible to experience that same transformation.
Michelle is your accountability partner, your biggest supporter, and your go-to for anything that makes your health and fitness journey feel seamless, and something you genuinely look forward to.
