They have morning and afternoon classes, limited to 6-8 people. Michelle, the owner, teaches the classes and takes excellent care of her customers.

Came here to keep up my powerlifting training on vacation because it is relatively close to sunny isles and has the right equipment (power bar, bumper plates, some dumbells). Michelle is very friendly and welcoming. Will come back if I am in Miami again!

I am so lucky I found Empower Lift! I'm only in Miami for a few weeks and I wasn't sure I would find a place to keep up my lifting, but I landed here and it's been great. It's so convenient, they have all the equipment I need, and Michelle is a wonderful, awesome human. I will come back next time I'm in town. Highly recommend it!

This gym is like no other. Most gyms do not provide you the help you actually need. In my experience, it can be uncomfortable asking questions or getting help. This gym is the polar opposite of that. Michele and Rob help you with every aspect along your journey. If you want to create your own workout routine and do it incorrectly then those other gyms are for you. I also find it time consuming to do all that research. The information online can also be contradicting. Michele and Rob will let you know if you are doing something wrong. For instance, if you are preforming an exercise the wrong way.The workout classes that they provide are small groups of people so they can focus on you. Michele and Rob spend six days a week at their gym. Their one day off they usually spend it doing things for their gym and costumers. For example, taking their own classes (for more licenses and knowledge) in fitness to help us further. The times of the workout classes also very and are about 1 hour long.The people in the small classes are all friendly. There is not one soul who is not friendly. Everyone is at a different point in their journey of change (6 people tops in the class and this is rare) (they also provide one on one). There is plenty of equipment so no more waiting to use the one you want.Rob and Michele even help you with your diet. This is a critical step in the process. At first, I was skeptic of their ways but over time I realized they were right. I no longer felt blotted from certain foods and had more energy. I didn't even realize I felt that bad until I actually tried their way. With this in mind I would say the processes of losing weight and gaining muscle is 90 percent up to you and 10 percent on the trainer. If you go home and eat the wrong foods then you wont see any progress no matter where you go. If you don't come often to the gym then you wont lose weight or gain muscle as well. You need to do both. Overall, I would highly recommend this gym if you want to see progress go to Empower lift!

I started attending empower lift last summer and I only have good things to say about the gym. First off the the training staff there is amazing. They will work with you to help you achieve specific goals. They are also very knowledgeable and will push you to work hard. Additionally, the gym is full of positive energy. It is a great environment to workout in and everyone is friendly. The other members there won’t just become your friends they will be more like family.

I can not say enough about Empower Lift as a gym. If it is the great environment, great coaches or great physical therapy work they offer, they have it all. All of it is top notch and focused on 1 aspect having you train better, feel better and improve your fitness. Hands down one of the best gyms in Miami

I've worked with dozens of personal trainers/doctors/physical therapists and gyms of all sorts, so believe me when I say that Empower Lift is the BEST FIND OF MY LIFE.I do not give this review lightly; if anything, I tend to understate things. This gym isn't the biggest, but it has absolutely everything you need (and then some) and it has something that is incredibly rare -- trainers who know what the **** they're talking about. No amount of sparkly amenities will be able to replace proper coaching on how to move and improve your body naturally.This place is a one-stop shop when it comes to every facet of your well-being from training, to physical therapy, to bodywork, to recovery. Empower Lift expertly addresses every step in the cycle.And that's the magic of this place -- training for improvement and therapy for problems are not two separate disciplines. If your physical trainer can't help with injury recovery, their training methods will probably lead to injury. If your physical therapist can't personally lift a respectable amount of weight, I'd wager they won't actually be able to address injuries that came from improper form. If your massage therapist hasn't hasn't trained for competitions before, do you really trust them to find those knots?I won't go into the boring details of my prior physical maladies, but the gist is that I had pain and imbalances in my movements that years of visits to doctors, physical therapists, trainers, and quacks of all sorts did nothing to improve. Cut to one year of training at Empower Lift and I'm pain-free, I'm moving symmetrically, and I'm stronger AND sexier than ever before.Save yourself the time. Save yourself the money. Save yourself the future injuries and frustration and sleepless nights of regret. Sign up to Empower Lift and learn to improve yourself the correct way.

I had rotator cuff surgery on my left shoulder and was in a sling for 6 weeks. My healthy arm and shoulder were very sore from so much use but I was hesitant for any type of massage because of the surgery. Robert and I spoke about what I was looking for and my concerns. He clearly understood the situation and I completely trusted he knew what he was doing.I felt such relief after just one session. He has a great understanding of how the body works and his touch was the perfect pressure. 6 weeks of stress were gone when I left!I saw him again for the operative shoulder once I started PT. Therapy was difficult at first due to the tightness of the surrounding muscles. He was able to release these areas and allowed me to focus on healing the surgery site.I am a yoga instructor and my physical health is crucial. Without a doubt, Robert is one of the best therapists I have ever worked with. His knowledge, friendliness, and love of his work are apparent and I highly recommend him to anyone.

Michelle and Rob have been so welcoming since day one, and now they’re like family to me. If it weren’t for them, I would have never realized my potential and ability to lift weights. They make working out fun and they’re always there to support you along the way with whatever goal you’re working towards. They’re incredibly knowledgeable in the human body - whether it is weight loss, weight gain (the healthy weight gain), strength training, that pain in your elbow and why and how to fix it, and even down to the nutritional tid bits!The best part of the gym is that it is dog friendly! Imagine being able to work out and have your fur baby right there supporting you on the sidelines and licking away your sweat. Don’t worry, they’re on top of the cleanliness so you don’t have to worry. Highly recommend this gym to everyone and anyone.
