Group Training: Fitness Education with a TWIST!
Empower takes an innovative approach to fitness training. Although Group Coaching is done in a group of up to 3 people, the design and layout of our state-of-the-art equipment and facility allows a personal touch and a sense of individual attention to be given to each participant in the group.
Unlike other forms of fitness instruction, Group Coaching at EMPower allows you to pursue your goals alongside others within the EMPower community that have similar goals and are at a similar fitness level. This allows you to generate a comfortable feeling of teamwork with new or existing friends with no sacrifice of personal attention.

Wellness is generally used to mean a healthy balance of the mind, body and spirit that results in an overall feeling of well-being. It is not merely the absence of disease or infirmity. In order to achieve a state of wellness one has to work on the components which contribute to being healthy and happy.

Empowered fitness is the ability to enjoy life without having your own body become a hindrance. Most people know more about the mechanics of their own car than they do their own body. Who can blame them? With all of the information being thrown around about fitness, it is easy to get confused. Using EMPower as your guide and partner, you can gain an education on how best to achieve your personal goals. Whether it’s group fitness, private coaching, or just using our innovative facility, we can meet your fitness goals.

Anaerobic Exercise and Metabolism

1. The King and Queen of Health and Fitness:
Nutritional and physical activity go hand in hand. The working body demands energy-yielding nutrients in order to build lean tissue.
Exercise requires the body to dip into its stores of fuel - namely, fat, and glycogen (sugar). By using up fat and building lean tissue, exercise pushes body-composition toward lean and thus, raises the body's rate of energy expenditure (metabolism).
To the contrary, a lack of exercise, or an "exercise deficiency" can lead to accelerated development of the diseases associated with sedentary life - cardiovascular disease, obesity, intestinal disorders, apathy, insomnia, accelerated bone loss, etc.
