Beginner Course
I joined Empower as a full time student after completing one of their Beginners Courses.
Such a friendly place to train with great instructors who really look after you and help you achieve your best.
I love, love, love my classes 🙂
Family Feel!
Although I’m not a student of empower my husband is, that doesn’t stop them making me feel like part of the empower family. They have all been great and supportive throughout this year. Everyone is really friendly and outgoing. I’ve taken part in challenges, zoom quiz nights and nights out. Dan has helped me with exercises for my back problems and I’m truly grateful for that. As a whole Dan,Lee and Jack are a great bunch. I watched my husband build his confidence and fitness and thats all down to all of them. I highly recommend these guys.
4 week ladies course
Just finished the ladies 4 weeks beginner course and it has been quite enjoyable! Not only a fun way to keep you fit and burn some energy, but also to disconnect from daily routine and have a good laugh! Great and really friendly instructors so definitely recommend it!
Confidence Boost
I’m just finishing the 4-week ladies beginners course and I honestly can not recommend it highly enough! The guys have been brilliant from the beginning - super friendly and welcoming, but always pushing you to achieve your best. The class has been a huge confidence boost in terms of my fitness and also in myself. Absolutely boss!
A happy Mum!
My son started doing online classes during lock down, he is fairly shy and awkward with most things but the guys made him feel so comfortable and at ease that he loved it. He has continued since and still enjoys it every week, and I have seen his confidence grow so much. The trainers are all great with adults and kids and clearly care about what they do and it really shows! 🙂 Thank you!
Final week!
On my final week of the ladies beginner's class. It's been such a good laugh. The instructors are incredibly supportive, I feel such a sense of achievement after each session. I've enjoyed it so much I've signed up to continue training. Would recommend to anyone of any age and fitness level.
2nd time round!
Just finishing the ladies only beginners class (for the second time, due to being rudely interrupted by COVID-19). It's a great way to keep fit while still having fun! Really enjoying it and would definitely recommend 👊
