Last night we came 3rd in ‘Gym of the year’ at the British Fitness Awards … getting that recognition makes us proud as punch! 🤛

We work so hard to provide the service that we do- working 7 days a week to accommodate a strong class timetable and client base.

But our real pride comes from stories like Lee’s.
Totally unprompted - Lee just decided to do a little update on his progress … he has gone from never attending the gym- to paying rent rather than a membership at our place because he’s here so often! 😂

It’s never too late to make a change and choose a new path if you aren’t happy!!

Our whole Empower Camp and Empower HQ community are super pleased for you Lee!!

Just a little highlight of some of our new timetable additions 👇

We now have a 9:30am Tuesday session to go alongside the other 9:30am classes which are super popular. We decided on a good old fashioned ‘Super circuits’ class as these always go down well.

Wednesday evenings see our Yoga class extended to a full hour now 👏 - and the addition of ‘Build & Burn’ - the ultimate strength and conditioning workout that is sure to challenge you by providing the opportunity to lift a little heavier and move with intent.

We are introducing ‘Yoga Sculpt’ on a Thursday which is a fabulous controlled movement workout inspired by yoga and using small hand weights. We have been trialling this over the last few weeks and the feedback has been fabulous! Fusion is now in the earlier slot of 5:45pm so for those of you who like to do a few sessions- these 2 are great to do back to back.

Fridays will be getting a fresh injection in the 5:30pm slot - get ready for our new 45 minute ‘Friday Vibes’ which will be built around a workout of the day and give opportunities for solo work, teamwork and fresh challenges every week.

We can’t wait to get our teeth into our new sessions!

Our power parents sessions are relaunching after our summer break 👏 👶

Week commencing 14th September these sessions are to be held weekly every Tuesday at 1:30pm.

These sessions are designed for new parents to be able to build their confidence with movement and exercise again in a small, guided and friendly environment.
Our numbers are capped low - and you bring your little one with you so that childcare isn’t a barrier.
Holly is a fully qualified pre/post natal personal trainer so you can relax knowing your sessions are safe and progressive.

Sessions are included in our Empower HQ membership and £6 for non-members - capped low because maternity pay sucks! 🙌🏻
They are now available to book on our GymCatch booking app (link in insta bio).

We are now recruiting our mums and babies - so get in touch with any questions you may have.

This is often a ‘silent’ part of our business as we don’t take footage of the sessions we do with under 16s.

However with permission to share, we have this lovely selection of photos taken at our last home school fitness sessions.
We think it’s brilliant that our local home school families are linking up together to provide a robust and varied wider curriculum of work 👏

This bunch really do put it in when they come and see us- and we love having them! 🙌🏻

We have waited 1 whole year to share this journey with you.

12 months ago Rowan had his hip replaced at the age of 32. He was born with congenital hip dysplasia so we always knew a hip replacement was on the cards - and he was very much on borrowed time by the time he got his surgery.

Severe pain daily.
A noticeable limp.
Muscular atrophy - mainly on the left but apparent on both.
Not able to exercise.
Pain medication.

After waiting for over a year on the waiting list for the surgery … last July Rowan finally got his replacement.
Unbelievably- a hip replacement is about a 45 min surgery! 🤯

Within hours of the surgery the hospital team had him on his feet .. he was discharged after an overnight stay and he walked out of the hospital! Yes walked! Less than 24 hours after surgery!

Fast forward 3 weeks and he was keen to start some structured movement - so we started with balance work and some light banded exercises. These were done every day - just for 10 minutes at a time.

At 6 weeks post op- he was fully discharged from the consultant after already achieving things expected at a much later stage.

By week 12 heavier bands were being used- and some bigger movements were now being introduced.

By month 6 Rowan was back running, lifting weights and had already put on a considerable amount of muscle and body mass.

He had set himself a 12 month goal … to attend the Lancashire Fitness Festival and to be able to take part in whatever he wanted! Well folks …. A few weeks ago …he did just that! 👏

As a trainer I would always be super proud of a journey like this … but as his sister I’m bursting with pride!

Rowan has never let his hip stop him doing the things he wanted to in life, I have NEVER heard him complain about his pain and I’ve not met many people (if anyone) as dedicated to bettering themselves after a set back!

The next time we are talking ourselves out of a workout because we ‘just aren’t feeling it’ … remember that it is a privilege to exercise and have a body that lets us!! 🙌🏻
