Ernie & Erica Baylor

Owners

Ernie and Erica Baylor are the proud owners of Burn Camillus, and their passion for the gym comes from their own personal transformation journey. Together, they have lost over 110 pounds and experienced firsthand the life-changing impact that fitness, community, and accountability can have.

Ernie’s passion for martial arts and coaching allows him to share his knowledge and help members build strength, confidence, and resilience both on and off the mats. Erica will be the first to tell you that she once hated gyms, especially group classes. Feeling intimidated and constantly comparing herself to others kept her away for years… until she found Burn.

Today, Ernie and Erica have built Burn Camillus into a welcoming, supportive, and inclusive community where members are known by name and supported through every step of their journey. You’ll often find them on the gym floor coaching classes, sharing their own experiences, and helping members reach goals they once thought were impossible. Their mission is simple: create a place where everyone feels comfortable, empowered, and capable of becoming the best version of themselves.

Danielle loves to travel and has a passion for baking when she’s not at Burn. She coaches evening classes and fills in whenever needed. Danielle also leads our Kids Programs and Camps, as well as our Kick Your Cortisol program. She’s a huge asset to Erica and me as we continue to grow Burn Camillus.

Santana

During the off-season from basketball, you’ll often find her stepping in to coach evening classes at Burn.
