Cierra is an awesome trainer. She strikes a nice balance in designing workouts that are attainable but challenging. Over time, she adjusts the workouts at a good pace so that you’re continually improving and attacking things from different angles. She also does a great job of taking into account any difficulties you’re having. Working with Cierra has been a pleasure, and has made a huge difference for me.

I’ve been working with Marques ~2-3x a week for over a year now. Prior to finding Empower, I had never been a gym person and hadn’t worked out for years. This is all different now! I cannot recommend Marques and Empower enough!Marques has been a bedrock of my fitness journey and I am so immensely grateful to him. He is incredibly reliable, organized and adaptable. He keeps the workouts new and engaging and always progressively more difficult. His training style is the perfect combination of relaxed and rigorous. I couldn’t do a single push up when I began, let alone bench press or deadlift anything. Now I’m actually able to do push ups and bench press and deadlift 100+ lbs! Thank you Marques!

Training at Empower with Kyle (and CJ) has been an incredible, encouraging, and supportive experience. Each session brings new and different challenges. Milestones are celebrated and it's been really cool to see steady forward progress. I cannot recommend highly enough!

I've been training with Cierra for over a year. It's the first time I've ever worked with a personal trainer and I thought it would be very intimidating. But Cierra made me feel very comfortable. Every session is challenging but fun! I have such a great time working out - even with that bike from hell. It's been a great experience training with her!

Iman is a wonderful trainer! I don't want to think about where I would be fitness-wise without her expertise this year. Iman keeps the sessions fresh by including variety in the workouts, making them challenging but never boring. I love not having to plan the sessions or decide which exercises to do and in what order. Iman takes care of all the details so I can focus on just showing up and giving my full effort (with her encouragement ?).

I have been working out with Iman and Empower for the last several years. The facility is clean and the staff is welcoming. Iman makes the workouts fun and effective.

Marques is the absolute best! I felt like I was decently fit when I began my sessions with my friend about a year and a half ago, but he continually finds new ways to challenge my strength, balance, and form; he’s no drill sergeant but he also won’t let you slack, which is a great combo for a coach. Since working with Marques, I’m more confident in my ability to lift heavier and have a better understanding of how to position myself to prevent injury. Thanks for making working out fun, Marques!

I have been training with Judy Raby for about a year now and it has been the most empowering and rewarding experience! Judy is inspiring and encouraging and her routines are always fresh and challenging. I have dropped inches, built muscle mass and definition but perhaps most importantly I feel strong and more confident in my own skin! I absolutely adore training with Judy AND have a great deal of respect for each of the other trainers, nearly all of whom I have also had the opportunity to train with. Each of them hold true to the deepest ideals of Empowered Personalized Fitness; to create a meaningful training experience focused on each individuals’ personal goals. An Empowered Personalized Fitness membership was a loving and thoughtful gift from my partner. BEST GIFT EVER!!!

Going to Empower makes working out fun! The staff is so warm, friendly, and welcoming, so there isn’t the “intimidation” that can happen at other facilities. The studio is immaculately clean and well laid out so always room for everyone. Special shout out to Blaine Warren who keeps my workouts fresh and energizing. He is a true professional and expert in the field. Blaine knows just how hard to push me to get results and is a terrific motivator. I can’t recommend Empower highly enough!

My husband, Bob, and I have been coming to Empower for over 7 years. The trainers are the big draw. We are both tennis players and currently working with Marques. He does a great job of keeping us fit so we can excel at what we enjoy doing. On those rare occasions when we overdo, Marques is also great at working with us to get us back on track. We both highly recommend Empower to anyone interested in getting and staying fit for life, whatever your interests!

Empower has become my new happy place and with the help of my trainer Chris. I have lost almost 30 pounds and gained a lot of muscle. But the best part is with their help I've gotten my health back. Before I started training at Empower I could barely walk to my neighbors house. Now I am doing 5k's and all my medical numbers have improved drastically. With Empower I have made health and fitness my new lifestyle!!!!! 100% recommend.

For the past five months Empower has been a phenomenal experience for me, the entire gym has a wonderful atmosphere. All trainers are wonderful and come from diverse backgrounds. My body has made great changes in this small amount of time all thanks to Kyle. His patience and knowledge may be unmatched. Highly recommend.

I'm so grateful I found this resource and even more grateful I ended up with Chris as my trainer! He's been kind, patient, and encouraging while I learn to be more active and care for myself (even with three kids)! I appreciate the atmosphere at Empower - I'm easily overwhelmed in crowded gyms with people who I perceive as much more fit and confident than myself. The Empower team strikes a nice balance of between nourishing a welcome space and honoring individual needs. Thank you!

I’ve been a client at Empower for about 8 months now and am so grateful to Jessica for creating this space and Judy, my trainer, for helping me feel the best I’ve felt in years. Judy has been absolutely phenomenal to work with on my journey to not just feeling but actually being healthier. Judy understands my priorities for my health and incorporates cardio, strength and resistance training, as well as barre and yoga moves all for strength, balance, flexibility, and toning. My overall health has improved since we started this journey & I genuinely feel like I’m rebuilding my body. Setting aside this time each week has not only vastly improved my physical health but has also proven so beneficial to my mental and emotional health. The workouts allow me to physically process stress and struggles. I don’t think I appreciated how detached I was from my body until I started working out with Judy. I know the cost of personal training may seem daunting to some and I feel very fortunate to be able to invest in my health now. After watching family members struggle with diabetes and heart disease I sincerely hope my investment of time and money into wellness will save me the bigger cost of illness down the road.Judy makes each session fun but challenging and in challenging me to step outside my comfort zone has empowered me (no pun intended). I really didn’t know what I was capable of physically until I started working with her & I continue to surprise myself and am gaining confidence every session. She believes in me and that has inspired me to believe in myself.The trainers at Empower are literally improving and saving lives and I’m just so grateful to have a trainer like Judy who is a partner to me on this journey. ?
