This is a tough one and I hear this asked from me very often. The thing about calories burned in the gym is very hard to define, since there are so many different kind of programs that you have. Programs with higher volume tend to burn more calories, since they put your body to do a lot more work than doing a few repetitions with very high weight. On the other hand, real strength programs that are developed to build pure mass for you is known for the fact that you don't really burn that many calories during the weight training, but your muscles take nearly two to three days to recover, which burns calories over time.
The median answer that I got from five different sources was that going to the gym burns 400-500 calories in an hour, which is 200-250 in half an hour. This of course isn't an exact value, but is fairly accurate.

∙ 12y agoIt is hard to say how many calories are burned because there are more ways to weight train than you can shake a stick at. If you lift heavy and rest a lot between sets you won't burn a lot but if you do multiple exercise one after another round after round in the form of what is called circuit training, there will be more respiration and therefore more calories burned.
Yes, if you are interested in using weights for both strength training and cardio, then circuit training is certainly the way to go
