Empower Personal Training

10/27/2008 Posted by ingramcs

The trainers at Empower are the most talented and capable I've ever experienced, and I've worked out with trainers in Boston, and from the Triad to the Triangle. They offer loads of motivation, tailored programs for your particular needs whether you're just getting back into shape (like me), or an accomplished athlete with specific training needs. The studio is immaculate, the equipment top quality. The place is addicting. My trainer Katy has challenged and encouraged me for about 2 years now, and coaxed me from desk jockey and couch potato to a lifting, running, sweating, health nut.

Pros: Skill, expertise, equipment

Cons: none

Empower Personal Training offers a variety of services in a clean, well-organized, friendly environment that really does make you feel empowered to become fit and lead a healthier life. I have worked out with Jessica for about ten years and have seen great results. I love catching up with the trainers before my workout and they always have answers to any questions I ask and a cheerful attitude that I have come to really appreciate. The space has wonderful, state-of-the-art equipment and is kept perfectly clean and very tidy. I highly recommend Empower Personal Training to all my friends and family.

Pros: friendly staff, state-of-the-art equipment,

I came to Empower after years of trying to stay fit on my own. As a ex college athlete over 45 I just couldn't find the motivation to work out anymore and stay fit. I came to Empower Personal Training and Kay was awesome. Although on some days I should probably work much harder than I do, Katy has found a balance to make me laugh and also to push me to a high level intense workout. I look forward to my session each week. I have been going there for about 2 years and I would recommend it for anyone young or old or anyone who would like to become fit for life.

Pros: everything

Cons: none

Empower Personal Training is a clean and well maintained environment with a knowledgeable and friendly staff. I have been working out with Jessica for many years and have realized great results. She varies the workouts and keeps the exercises fun and interesting. What started out as a weight loss program became an overall wellness program. We not only concentrate on cardio and weight training but nutrition, yoga, and thai massage as well. The onsite nutritionist has been fantastic about suggesting healthy choices and not making you feel like you are missing out. The yoga classes with Satya have been wonderfull....a great way to vary your exercises! Although I am a beginner she makes me feel like I can do any of the exercises. I recently tried thai massage with Satya and it was the best massage I have ever had. Unlike a traditional massage this works on your joints and incorporates stretching and some yoga techniques...I highly recommend it! As if we weren't doing enough training Jessica recommended Boot Camp with Matthew...that is a lot of fun! Talk about mixing it up....it is fun and allows you to try a bunch of different exercises in a group environment.

Pros: Clean, well maintained environment with a knowledgeable and friendly staff

Cons: None

Empower offers a clean, comfortable environment. The staff are all professional and extremely knowledgeable. Every trainer is awesome to work with-and you can't go wrong with any one of them. I have been endurance training with Patty for almost 3 months and can't imagine how I could have gotten along with out her! She is wonderful. Matthew is experienced and also great to work with....he will keep you motivated and on track. The yoga classes with Satya are the best around and a reasonable price. Satya also offers a variety of massages tailored to you. I recently had a massage that incorporated a variety of massages - thai, deep tissue, integrated. I loved it and will go back again and again. I would recommend Empower to ANYONE and EVERYONE.

Pros: Cleanest studio you will ever walk into! Great, friendly staff. Service is A+++

Cons: Nothing

I have always had a hard time sticking with an exercise regimen. Working with Empower Personal Training has changed that. I have appointments 3x/week that I keep just like I would any other commitment. I have been working out with my trainer for over a year now and have more energy and confidence in my abilities. I know that my trainer is always developing a workout that is customized to reach my goals and considers my fitness level and ability. The Empower Personal Training facility is a clean, welcoming studio and the trainers are fit and knowledgeable without being intimidating. Their input and oversight really make all the difference.

Pros: knowledgeable, friendly staff

I came to Empower, and Michael, 6-months ago, hobbling on a knee sore after 35 years of running. Orthopedists and Physical Therapists were not able to create a program that helped ease the pain of running. Yet, 3-months into a twice a week work-out with Michael that focused on core body muscles, I was able to run again, pain free. No two workouts were the same, yet we stayed on track to restore my ability to run again. I had never before relinquished my phyisical fitness to someone else, but, in the end, it has made all the difference. I could not have foreseen this change in this short time. If you are looking to recreate a level of fitness that you had before, I would strongly recommend Empower! Positives: Clean, personal, enviroment Negatives: None

I have always been a big believer in the therapeutic benefit of deep tissue massage and have received many great massages. However, I just tried Thai massage for the first time and was blown away. This Eastern style massage has deep roots in the Indian yoga tradition and incorporates passive stretching, acupressure, compression and massage. Satya, the massage therapist at Empower Personal Training, was extremely knowledgable, professional and nothing short of AMAZING. The massage is performed on a thick comfortable mat on the floor with your clothes on and begins with a traditional herbal tea foot bath (so refreshing!). Thai massage lasts at least 90 minutes (which is what I did) but Satya recommends 2 hours. The time flew by and I was wishing it wouldn't end. Unlike the deep tissue table massage that I am used to, Thai massage really gets deeper into the muscles and also works on joints and ligaments - stretching you out and making you feel so good. I have recommended this style of massage and Satya at Empower to everyone I know. Best massage experience I have ever had!

Pros: Knowledgable professional staff / Clean, warm and welcoming facility

Cons: None
