ER is awesome! I started here 4 months ago and it has been the most positive, encouraging and empowering environment I’ve worked out in. Kenny and his team have a unique and supportive approach which works. I’m down in weight and inches, but what I didn’t expect was a huge confidence boost! I wanted to hit my 50th feeling great, which now means I will be 💪!

I have been working out at Empowered Recreation for 5 months. I have so much more energy and strength. I feel better mentally and physically. I look forward to going to class and miss it when I can’t make it. It is a very positive and encouraging environment. Kenny is an amazing coach and helps you reach your fitness and nutritional goals.

Kenny is an incredible coach. I've been training with him and his other coaches at Empowered Recreation for over two years already, and my results are amazing! Kenny has a very unique approach to every client's needs, extremely knowledgeable about fitness and nutrition; gentle and understanding but yet firm and strict when it is needed for the client's benefit. "Empowered Recreation" is a great place for anyone who wants to reach their goals in fitness, health, nutrition - at any level. I saw transformations of clients starting with zero fitness level (like I was over 2 years ago), as well as ongoing successes of professional athletes and advanced fitness enthusiasts. Every workout session is different, and you never feel bored at ER. Empowered Recreation members and staff built a family-like community that is supportive, understanding, accountable. Give Kenny and ER a try - you won't regret it! You will only be grateful and thankful - like I am for my incredible transformation, my renewed (healthy, light and fit) body, happy life, new joyful lifestyle, support and accountability from my great friends at ER and beyond!

If you are looking for fitness, fun, caring, experienced, knowledgeble trainers and positive results, Empowered Recreation (ER) is the place to be. The trainers don't play but they make it fun so that you want to come back for more. I've worked out at other gyms and this one is by far the best. You tell them what your fitness goals are and they show you how to get there. We are taught all the fundamentals of fitness (not just the workout). The trainers are motivating and encouraging and the staff is always helpful. They all have your best interest at heart. The trainers always check to see what works for me and what doesn't and makes modifications accordingly. I go to ER after work so sometimes I don't always feel like working out, but I feel so good afterwards that I did. I just turned 60 this year, if I can do it you can do it. Come check it out, you won't be disappointed.

This place started out as a workout booty call, I wanted to use up my livingsocial deal and then move on to bigger and better things. But after a few short weeks here, I pulled a Broke Back Mountain and "just couldn't quit you!" I've now been here for a few months and the sessions have been the highlight of my days! I can definitely see myself getting stronger and looking better :) What I love about this place is how friendly the staff is, they make every effort to know who YOU are as a person, they don't see dollar signs when they look at you! Kenny and Kate have worked with everyone very closely to ensure that the results you want, are the results you get. The group training sessions have been amazing motivation to keep pushing through every workout and strive to be better. Hurray for team spirit! It's also a great workout environment for all levels of fitness. The staff is great about showing you alternate ways of performing an exercise. If the workout is too difficult, then they'll demonstrate the exercise in a different way that makes it's easier and still effective, and vice versa. I highly recommend this gym for everyone, whether you're training for the Warrior Dash, or just trying to shed a few extra pounds, you won't be disappointed.

I signed up for a 15-class Living Social promo from Empowered Recreation ER. The program is friendly to persons with all levels of fitness. After the 1st week, the aches and pains were a lot less and I feel really good about myself. The secret to this is the way Coach Mack and Coach Kate are able to customize the workout for beginners such as myself and also make it a lot of fun. It is not hard to see that all folks at ER practice what they preach and at the same time make it an enjoyable social experience. Please do try ER and learn to live better.

I have had the best experience at Empower Recreation. From the first day I walked in the door everyone made me me feel very welcomed and supported. I leave feeling strong and happy. The trainers are experts at differentiating exercises for everyone and encouraging us to reach our full potential. The workouts are engaging and challenging every time. I will never go to a typical gym again. I thank Empower Recreation for making fitness something I look forward to everyday!

Amazing results... In the first month, I went down 1 size and 7.5 inches all by showing up 3x a week! Not sure how he does it, but Kenny Mack is incredible! For the first time in years, I love pictures of myself!! AND I love moving and working out - I feel better; I can do more and have more energy. I also thought I knew nutrition - I had been dieting my whole life after all...but I learned a lot from Kenny. Great support from Kenny his staff and other members. A safe, comfortable place for those of us who do not 'fit' into gym culture. Major results without the trauma of walking into a gym to work out with perfect bodies who do not ‘get it’. The staff is watchful and helps you push yourself past your limits to get results. Focused on individuals the staff knows what you are capable of and will keep you from pushing yourself too far. I feel safe in their hands and trust them completely. He and his staff really truly care about you - if you make half the effort for yourself!
