Testimonials
Weekday mornings will never be the same again now I’ve discovered EmPower. Trying to strengthen my wrists, core, quads and back was never going to be an easy task but with Emma it feels like anything and everything is possible. She has truly infectious motivation and vitality (not to mention ridiculous squatting stamina!) and her sense of humour and warmth make her classes a whole heap of fun, come snow, floods or heatwaves!
I can't recommend EmPower fitness highly enough. It's a perfect way to start the day, both accessible and challenging for all levels of fitness and one of the most welcoming classes I've tried. I'm feeling stronger than ever, my back pain is gone!
Emma’s classes are both supportive and challenging… She is genuinely empowering and I would highly recommend
EmPower is creating a revolution in women's fitness. Each class is tailored to a different area of our bodies and targets different muscle groups to build density and strength in menopause. EmPower's classes play an important role in my health but also my happiness
* Emotional Intelligence and Empathy - the clue is in the name!
* Communication Skills - that work on my menopause brain!
* Motivation - out there everyday!
* Patience and a lack of judgement
* Technical Knowledge - never the same moves in a session - keeping it fresh.
Can’t rate Emma at EmPower highly enough! She is the master at what she does and really cares about you as an individual, tailoring each session carefully so you really get those hard to reach places working again! I love feeling so much stronger physically and mentally, thank you Emma
EmPower training enables recovery, building resilience and restoring confidence. This really helped me as I have had health challenges and also lost confidence doing exercise. EmPower’s personalised programs employs techniques and exercises that minimise the side effects of menopause, chronic pain and minor ailments.
Emma has made such a difference to my fitness and enjoyment of exercise. She is a really skilled trainer and really motivating. Love her classes and hate missing them!
I love my sessions with Emma, I’m feeling much stronger in a short period of time, I’m injury free, I’ve discovered muscles I didn’t know I had!
Reason I love EmPower, I like working out with like minded women. Emma is a total professional and is firm but fun
As well as being fun and effective, EmPower is local, early and short, so I can fit it into my life easily and keep it up regularly, to get results and feel part of a community.
Emma's 1/2 hour group exercise is a brilliant way to start the day. It's a hard class but it's fun and she keeps an individual eye on everyone and it's wonderful being outside exercising. I never thought an outdoor group fitness class would be for me but I am very happy to be proved wrong and I feel so much better for it.
Emma is fantastic! For someone who has never even been in a gym I was apprehensive, but Emma quickly made me feel at ease. I share a PT session with a friend which is a great way to do it, sharing the cost. I feel so much stronger now. Her sessions are always so varied and she pushes me to do better. Would highly recommend!
Emma is a skilled, passionate and knowledgeable trainer. She puts great care into planning sessions specific to my needs and always makes sure I am able to progress in my fitness whilst feeling totally supported and safe.
I’m training for a 1/2 marathon - which is new to me - and the guidance and support Emma has given me is invaluable! Keeping my core strong & giving me confidence has been super helpful. Her sessions are intense but a great start to the day, with a lovely group of ladies.
EmPower does exactly what it says on the bottle. It really is ‘feel good fitness’. It is so invigorating to exercise outdoors, rain, wind, snow or shine! So easy to fit in after the school drop off. I’m done and dusted by 9.30am! By then all the morning stress has vanished! Emma is extremely motivating and is attentive to your individual needs, even though you are exercising in a large group. She is very knowledgeable, personable and good fun. Her class is a lovely way to start the morning.
I have trained with Emma 121 and in group classes for nearly two years. Her women-led approach means I am physically and mentally the strongest I’ve ever been. Creative, dedicated and indefatigable!
Having a PT session with Emma on a Monday sets me up for the week ahead. I share the session with a friend which makes it affordable on a weekly basis. We work hard and Emma has definitely made us stronger, one of her key skills is to make sure we are doing everything in the right position and making sure we are doing the exercises correctly to get the most out of the session and also prevent getting injured. We can now do so much more for longer. And we then try and top up at one of her group classes. Highly recommended.
I love starting the week with EmPower, outside in the fresh air! A friendly class for all abilities. Strength and toning through core, squat, plank and pilates moves.
I started going to Emma’s classes after breaking my shoulder. I was several months into physio and in discomfort. How could an outdoors exercise class possibly help and make me want to book more sessions?
I cannot recommend Emma enough. From the moment I arrive, I feel in really good hands. Emma has that unique ability of making everyone feel welcome. She knows when to push and motivate yet also knows when to ease up and individually adjust. She is well prepared, makes us laugh - it all feels effortless, yet there’s an overriding professionalism to every class. She packs in so much to 30 minutes and being outdoors with no wall of mirrors is a winner. I feel stronger and more positive about managing my injury thanks to her and the classes have complimented and sped up my physio.
“I cannot recommend Emma enough for not only getting your body healthy but also your mental well-being. You will come away from your EmPower sessions feeling fit, happy and with a real sense of achievement and empowerment. Emma understands when and how to push you while keeping you safe from injury. I have LOVED every single one of my sessions with Emma and had so much fun along the way.”
“Emma has the unique ability to understand where you are now (emotionally as well as physically) and move you on to a mentally and physically better place. She is a brilliant personal trainer who gets results - and she’s fun!”
“Keeping fit when life is hectic, kids are crazy and you’re a ‘woman of a certain age’ is never easy, but Emma has a real knack of motivating you, pushing you to your limits, making you work as hard as possible - and all with a smile on her face and words of encouragement not judgment.”
“Emma’s sessions are always uplifting and inspiring. Emma is incredibly positive, hard-working and encouraging which leaves you feeling motivated and confident. She is an excellent instructor as she focuses on effective exercises and has the knowledge to correct posture and advise on the best technique. When I work with Emma I feel inspired to push myself further than I ever thought I could but it’s always fun with lots of laughter too. She has made me realise the importance of investing in myself through fitness and health.”
“Emma understands the female body and is fastidious about how she approaches her sessions. Ensuring that we are all getting the most out of our time with her where form is always a priority. She makes you understand the importance of every move and how it will help you build strength and fitness to achieve greater wellbeing. An awesome trainer and teacher!”
“I love training with Emma. She's the perfect balance of knowledgeable, supportive and motivating. She understands what women in particular need, whether that's post-childbirth, through menopause, or just simple encouragement. She'll make you work hard, but safely, and you'll still have a smile on your face!”
“Emma's excellent communication skills ensure that when I train with her, I'm clear on what I'm doing but more importantly the impact on my body. Female bodies are different and we need experts who understand the differences to get the results we want. I can't recommend Emma enough. She's one of the best in the PT business today.”
