Highly Recommend the Gym to Others

I have been a member for almost a year and really enjoyed the programming and the community. Ian prioritizes strength and athleticism and it shows in the programming. You won’t find any useless combo moves here and all accessory work is essential in keeping us fit, strong and increasing in mobility. Highly recommend the gym to others!

Absolutely Love Empower

It’s been a life changing experience joining here. I look forward to every class and try to go 6 days a week. The instructor Ian is amazing, truly TOP NOTCH as well as the members. They’ve taught me I CAN do things that I never thought I could do physically…The environment is fun, encouraging and always positive vibes. I’m SO thankful for my Empower family.

“I worked out off and on for a few years but just couldn’t stay consistent. In 2022 my grandparents got really sick so between helping take care of them and stress my health took a back seat. In February of 2023 I kept bugging Ian to see when the gym was going to be ready to open because I knew that I needed that back in my life after both grandparents passed January 2023, I was grieving and needed an outlet. I joined Empower the day they opened and instantly loved the community and it’s the first time I’ve stayed consistent with working out, now I go almost 5 days every week and at almost 40 I feel the best that I’ve ever felt.””Empower FitLab feels like home. It’s not just the clean equipment, the motivating classes that ranges from 5am-5:30pm or the safe play area my kids enjoy while I workout. It’s the people. The fist bumps after a tough workout, and the way the staff knows your name — even your kid’s name. This gym isn’t just about building muscles. It’s about building community.

Whether you’re a beginner finding your rhythm, a parent squeezing in a session between school drop-offs, or someone chasing new fitness goals, there’s a place for you here. The vibe is welcoming, supportive, and uplifting

If you’re looking for a gym that motivates, encourages, and truly empowers you, this is it.”

After One Workout, I Was Hooked

After 38 years of religiously, avoiding the gym, My friend Bob convinced me to come to a Saturday workout. After one workout, I was hooked. I love the gym and the Instructor. It’s a great atmosphere it’s lighthearted and fun. The instructor is very knowledgeable and easy to work with. This is a great gym if you are new to working out or consider yourself to be a beginner. Not gonna lie, the workouts can be hard at times, but it’s definitely worth it. Empower FitLab is my go to gym.

Exceeded My Expectations in Every Way

I joined Empower FitLab a few months ago, and my experience has been nothing short of amazing. The atmosphere is friendly and welcoming. The staff is always willing to help, whether it’s with fitness advice or demonstrating proper techniques.

Empower FitLab is well-equipped with state-of-the-art machines and a wide variety of free weights. The cleanliness and organization of the facility are top-notch as well. Additionally, I appreciate the range of classes offered from high-intensity interval training and spin, to strength. There is something for everyone here! The sense of community is unmatched, and their commitment to their members’ success truly sets them apart.

Overall, Empower FitLab has exceeded my expectations in every way. If you’re looking for a gym that combines expert guidance, a supportive environment, an exceptional facility, and sustainable workouts, I highly recommend giving them a try.

It Feels Like Family

I love Empower FitLab! I have been going for the past year and I feel my body getting stronger! The instructors and staff are great and are so relatable and helpful. The atmosphere and classmates are awesome and it feels like a family. Being a woman who is self conscious about my size, I have never been made to feel uncomfortable and out of place. I highly recommend this gym if you are looking to take your fitness journey to the next level.

The Best Gym and People

Favorite place to go in the mornings! The staff, other members (friends), and workouts have kept me motivated to keep going here for 2 years now. They have also kept me safe while working out before, during, and after pregnancy. The best gym and people. My son decided to join about 5 weeks ago and he agrees.

Empower FitLab Has Felt Like Family

From day one, Empower FitLab has felt like family. Ian, now owner and trainer, has curated a community that is nothing short of supportive and pretty dang amazing. The group fitness classes are well designed and tailored to fit anyone’s athletic abilities, even my 66 year old mother has joined and is loving it! Anddd then there is Deb, Deb is truly the heart and soul of Empower (sorry, Ian). Not only will she make sure you’re checked in and ready to go, but she will care for your children during the 45 minute workout as if they were her own. She gives parents the ability to workout and take time for themselves without a single worry when they are in her care, and then to top it off will make you a protein shake on your way out. Those two forces combined will ensure you’re set up for success in your fitness journey regardless if it’s your first day ever working out or if you’ve been training your entire life. Give them a try, you won’t be disappointed!
