What People Are Saying

  • JULIA Mc,

    “

    Without EmpowHer fitness I simply would not have the time in my schedule to get a good workout. Sandy develops amazing high intensity workouts that take no longer than 45 minutes and can be customized to suit ANY fitness level. As a busy mom on maternity leave with limited support, Sandy has allowed me to bring my infant along to class and does everything she can to ensure I get my 45 minutes in for ME. I love this place and am SO happy I made the decision to join this community.

    I'm delighted to recount my remarkable journey at Empower Fitness. In a year, I've not only shed weight but also gained remarkable strength and reclaimed my mobility, all thanks to Sandy's supportive community and motivating environment. This isn't merely a gym; it's a transformative space where I rediscovered self-love and forged meaningful friendships. I'm immensely grateful for the positive impact it has had on my life!

    What haven't I already said about Sandy and EmpowHER? I am very vocal about my love and appreciation for this space (and the woman who created it!). When I first walked into the studio over three years ago, I had never lifted a weight in my life. I was weak, I was nervous, and I felt completely out of my element. Sandy immediately encouraged me and I slowly found my groove with her constant support and true interest in me. I used to think I was unique, but I soon realized that this is her way with everyone who walk through those doors. After three years I have definitely gotten stronger, but the workouts are no less challenging. In fact, she manages to kick our butts harder each week. There's always a laugh to be had, and I look forward to every Monday/Wednesday/Friday in this awesome Studio. I am SO grateful for Sandy and EmpowHER.

    In September 2020 I joined the “tribe.” I felt so welcome, so comfortable, and so challenged. Every week, at every class, Sandy brings a smile to my face. It might be through a grimace, or through streams of sweat, or behind an occasional curse word, but always a smile! She pushes and challenges, but you don’t even realize it’s happening. Just when you think you have nothing left to give, you throw out another 20 seconds, or another 3 burpees! All that is left to say is “thank you.” You make fitness fun and you truly do "Empower” me!

    The first time I walked into EmpowHERI knew I had become a part of something special. A class full of strangers quickly changed into a room full of friends. I don’t think I could do one push up when I started but nobody judged me, instead they encouraged me and assured me that they have all been there. I love the variety of the workouts and how Sandy has provided us with a safe place to be able to go. I have had people make suggestions of other gyms or virtual workouts to try but honestly I wouldn’t think about going to anywhere else. Sandy has created a tribe of woman that I love being a part of. You are the best Sandy!
