I’ve never found something so thoroughly suited to get anyone on track with their nutrition and fitness goals. I have been thrilled with Empowered Fitness and their GLC Program. It has changed my life in a very short time and I am excited about the future once again! Thank You Diana and Mike!

Such a great team of detail oriented, caring and professional personal trainers who really do know what they are doing. Always personable and welcoming. A safe place to focus on overall well-being and fitness. The team there at Empowered Fitness all go out of their way to provide custom workouts, there’s something for everyone. My favorite is the 5:30 am workouts, nice to get it done early for my demanding schedule. But there are plenty of other options for times. A+ all the way around. Highly recommend!

I have been a member of Empowered Fitness over 10 years and LOVE the quality workouts I get there. Instructors are knowledgable, energetic, and encouraging. They push us to be our best while always offering options that work for each persons body. Workouts are changed up constantly so you are never bored. When indoor mask mandates are in place the outdoor parking lot space offers an excellent option for classes. If you are looking for excellent strength and cardio workout options, look no further! Join now!

Empowered fitness offers great workouts, knowledgeable trainers, and a fun community of like minded individuals who support each other through burpees, squats, and stretches! There is as much or as little accountability as you would like which has contributed to maintaining many of my fitness and nutrition goals!

Empowered Fitness is responsible for changing my life three years ago. I’ve never been healthier or in better shape. There aren’t better people than Diana and Mike who own and run EF day-to-day. They’re extremely knowledgeable, experienced and compassionate. When I eventually leave the coastside, I know I’ll never find another fitness studio, owners, trainers or community like this one.

I love love the online classes, since I can do them from wherever I am and never miss one. I look forward to the in-person outdoor classes too, when I'm comfortable doing them. They also have a flexible monthly payment plan that lets me take any number of classes per month, mixing and matching the types and times as needed to fit my schedule. EF has a range of class difficulty levels, but I prefer the PowerBlast classes. They are a mix of strength and cardio, and after every class I truly feel like I've gained something. I also look forward to Diana's inspirational emails every few days, which

I cannot recommend EF highly enough! I have had only a positive experience with every trainer, every class I've taken, and every program I've participated in. This is one of the best investments in your health you can make because EF will work with you to develop an approach to your fitness that works for you. Health and fitness isn't "one size fits all" and EF fully embraces that. Do yourself a favor and give them a try, it's so worth it.

Nothing but good words, great experience....most consistent working out I've done in years - even through COVID! I can always expect consistency in the instructors and the workouts - they motivate, inspire, communicate and they get to know you and your body so they can personalize even group classes by pointing out modifications based on who is in the class. Mike and Diana are so kind and so professional and they work so hard to make sure everyone is reaching their potential.

EF is incredible. I came to them at a hefty 206 lbs although I was working out at other gyms at the time. Through a variety of great classes, healthy eating challenges and just a lot of positive, healthy motivation, I'm down to my goal weight of 190 and have stayed there (that's the key). I look forward to my workouts every week. I would recommend 100%

I have been going to Empowered Fitness for a little over 4 years. Every workout is challenging, but totally scalable to your ability. The trainers are all very knowledgeable and help you to figure out how to make changes based on what works best for you. The trainers are great motivators and every workout is different.
Empowered Fitness also does a really great job at building a community. I've met so many great people on the coastside and getting to know people in class helps keep you accountable.
They have done a really great job at pivoting during COVID and I am still able to get great

I love my workouts at Empowered Fitness! They are super fun and taught with personalized care and attention. The owners are awesome and I love supporting a locally owned family business. They have worked so hard to successfully accommodate their members during the pandemic. I feel super supported and really appreciate EF for helping me stay focused on fitness during these difficult times.

I joined EF a bit over a year ago and without their coaching and instruction I wouldn't have had the success I've had so far! They are incredibly helpful and motivating. Since shelter in place they pivoted their program to accommodate its members virtually and holy moly it's been amazing! They offer great workouts that can be modified from beginner to advanced and will work with you if you have any specific modifications needed. So glad I found you guys! This mom of 3 has never felt stronger!!

I've been with Empowered Fitness for YEARS. I love the community and everything about it. They offer high quality, intense workouts that show measurable results. At the same time they are able to modify and work with you for whatever your needs may be. The best part for me is the educational aspect. I've learned so much about how to move, train, eat and stretch. It has truly made a difference in my overall health.

I am a believer, initially skeptical of the whole group workout process, I gave EF a try and three years later I'm so glad I did. The workouts are varied with high energy and great instructors. Diana and Mike have fostered a collaborative, fun and inclusive environment where people can get fit, make friends and incorporate lifestyle choices that last a lifetime. It takes some effort, but what activity that's worthwhile doesn't? I highly and strongly recommend EF to anyone of any age, come on down, you will not regret it!

Empower Fitness is a very welcoming, caring and focused place. I appreciate that you're not just a face in the crowd of others. The trainers know you and truly advocate for your health. The workouts are challenging, yet can be quickly modified for you. The classes always start on time and end on time so you can plan your day around it. My watch says I burn over 500 calories a class! It's hard to walk in a new place for the first time, but when I did, I felt very welcomed. Thank you Diana and team!

I initially stumbled across EF right before one of their 28 day GLC's. I wanted to jumpstart my diet/work out after just having had my 3rd baby. From the first email from Diana, to the emails during the challenge and since, I was very impressed, motivated and excited for my new fitness journey. Due to a couple challenges along the way, I wasn't able to attend classes regularly or make the weigh ins. But I did stick with and follow to a T the food portion of the challenge and I'm happy to say I lost 11 lbs in that one month! Like Diana had said from day 1, "you can't exercise

I LOVE Empowered Fitness! I've been working out there for 2 months, both 1:1 training with Lisa and regular classes. Classes are TOUGH but the coaches as well as other clients make it very comfortable for me to go at my pace, push my own limits, and provide alternatives when my arthritic knee is not up to a particular move. One of their values is "caring" and they really do. Diana sends regular motivational and supportive emails. It's a welcoming and supportive place and I am already feeling good results.

The team at Empowered Fitness has been absolutely amazing. I recently moved from out of town, and was a bit hesitant to start up a work out program at a new place. Little did I know how welcomed and accepted I would be.
The welcoming attitude was amazing, but more importantly is the knowledge and commitment of the staff and the support they provide to the members. They are committed to ensuring you reach your goals and making sure that you get what you need out of every workout.
I surf 3 or 4 times a week, and I can tell you that I have never felt as strong surfing as I feel now since I started

This is a long overdue review. . .
If you're looking for just a place to put on your headphones, climb on an elliptical and read a magazine/watch ESPN - you should probably just skip this review.
However, if you're interested in really getting a good workout (no matter your level of fitness or ability) this is the place. They truly have something for every level - from a hardcore kettle bell class to the opposite end of the spectrum - you're set.
After 90+ days, this is my 2 cents:
What impressed me the most from my first day of class is the level of instruction and awareness
