Empowered Strength

I've been working with John for about 4 months now and over the course of that time he has helped me in many aspects of my life! I first contacted John to train for the Highland Games this year. The knowledge and experience that he has is amazing and inspiring. After attending one of his clinics I was inspired to make more than just athletic goals or fitness goals but life goals. His passion and expertise in fitness motivates me everyday, pushing me to better myself for longevity. I've also completed his "Super Powered" program that helped me massively increase my ACFT score for the National Guard. John is a true expert in his field! Highly recommend Empowered Strength for anyone who wants to not just get in shape but change their life.

Empowered Strength classes have been a fantastic re-entry into lifting. They’re well-designed, supportive and interesting. I always feel safe while being kindly nudged out of my comfort zone. I really appreciate the progressions and the focus on moving well, rather than doing more for the sake of doing more. Would highly recommend!

I’ve been struggling with chronic pain for over 10 years and was really nervous about getting back into the gym. But I knew I had to start building my strength again so per the recommendation of my chiropractor I went to Empowered Fitness. The team there has been welcoming and incredibly helpful! They take the time to tailer my workouts to best strengthen my body based on my needs and desires. And, the excel uses are based in basic functional movement so I’m learning to use my body properly again. I’m finally getting my life back and able to move more freely and build strength without hurting myself. John and Tash are both great coaches. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking to gain strenth and build a healthy lifestyle.

Been a member for a little over a year now. As someone who's struggled with feeling self-conscious, I can say Empowered Strength enjoys the distinction of being the only gym I've ever felt comfortable standing inside of. The coaches are always super-friendly and professional, and the culture among the other members is supportive and non-judgmental. Thanks to John and Tash, I'm in better shape now than I've ever been in my life. I am truly thankful to have found this place. Easily recommended.

I've been training at Empowered Strength for just over a year and am so happy with my progress. Unlike my past experiences at gyms filled with equipment and machines that I visit and work out on my own, this gym focuses on applying force and proper human movement to help members become stronger, more fit, and a more resilient humans through classes and individual training. It has worked for me better than any other strategy for fitness I have tried in my life. I feel strong and capable of even more and have made this a permanent part of my lifestyle.

I have been consistently working out with the exceptional trainers and members at this gym for 2.5 years. It is one of my favorite communities of all I'm involved in. The culture here is fantastic.From a mobility/strength standpoint, the knowledge and programming are world class. John and Aaron are already supremely knowledgeable yet continue to learn and update constantly. I'm becoming very strong, stronger than I ever imagined I would be.I've gone from a "non-gym guy" to a person who will always be part of a fitness community.

I was lucky enough to practice out of Empowered Strength when I first opened up my Chiropractic Clinic. I got to not only witness how they trained their clients, but also got to experience it firsthand. Bend is so incredibly lucky to have such knowledgeable and talented strength coaches. I learned something new from them everyday I was there. They provide evidence based training, that is not only effective, but incredibly SAFE. They will not only add years to your life, but life to your years if you choose Empowered Strength as your gym. Do yourself a favor and schedule an introduction appointment today. It will change your life!

This is the best strength training joint in town. John and Aaron are unmatched in their ability to meet you at your level, and to help you get strong again! Aaron has been my trainer/coach for the last couple months, and he is encouraging, understanding, and skilled at building one's strength!! I have no previous experience in a gym setting, and he made me feel right at home in just the first week. I recommend Empowered Strength 100%!!!

Empowered Strength is the best! I had no idea how much I would love going when I began. I'm an active person and a strong runner, but empowered strength has totally upped my game. Aaron and John are awesome, and the vibe at the gym is fantastic. Going to class is my favorite part of the week. If you're considering it, just go. Very knowledgable, supportive, and they'll customize your workout based on your goals. Can't say enough good things. Except: thank you, Aaron!

Empowered Strength is not about a hard workout that exhausts your mind and body. It's about learning new mobility and strength skills, then building on those skills to take you to a new level that you didn't even know you were reaching for. I love that building this foundation of skills has allowed me to see results week over week. They also have a great emphasis on safety while lifting and personalized goals every month that I haven't seen at other gyms. Thank you John and Empowered Strength for continuing to teach me fitness for life!
