Empowered Strength & Fitness

Hey I’m Kate!!

I’ve been living on the Gold Coast for the last 3 years and have been working at Empowered for most of that time. After 10 years in the industry I have finally found my place, helping women every day , meeting them wherever they are in their journey.

I have always had a passion for protecting women and girls, and that extends into working in women’s health. My mission is create space for the every day woman to make time for herself, find her confidence again and get stronger whilst doing it.

If I’m not in the gym you’ll most likely find me with a coffee in hand (coffee vouchers always appreciated 😉) at the beach, on my hot girl walk.

See you in the studio soon💜

Did you know these menopause facts?

At Empowered we understand what you are going through and we are here to listen and support you on your journey. You WILL be taken seriously and be able to meet other like-minded women with similar stories

Come join us for a class soon 💜

Hi, I’m Carla, the owner of Empowered Strength & Fitness!

I created Empowered because I wanted to build a safe, welcoming space for women to lift weights, get stronger and achieve goals that sometimes even surprise them.

Empowered is about showing up, having a go, getting a little bit stronger each week and celebrating the things you never thought you’d be able to do.

My favourite part of the gym is watching that happen, the first heavier lift, the extra rep, someone finally feeling confident in the gym, or hearing “I didn’t think I could do that!”

Outside of Empowered, I’m an Australian track athlete, competing in the 200m, 400m and relays internationally.
I’m a Physiotherapist with Queensland Physio Group, working across sports and women’s health. This means you can come see me for physio and we can integrate your rehab straight into your training!

I feel pretty lucky that I get to spend my days doing each of these things and being around women who are constantly pushing themselves to be better (plus sneaking in a nap whenever I can!)

Huge effort from testing week
😮‍💨👏💜
