21.01.2022 One Step Closer... This week we get the opportunity to take another step closer towards normality and standard operations at Empower. As of this week the bootcamps numbers will be increased to a capacity of 20ppl. However, tomorrow morning and evening sessions will be cancelled due to forecast of rain and a top of 11 degrees for Melbourne . Throughout this past couple of months we have been doing (and will continue to do) everything we can to keep our community active a...nd also interactive with one another. To every person who has stuck by us and supported us in any way, we seriously cannot thank you enough. There is no way we could have gotten through this time without such a supportive community behind us. We certainly haven’t been wasting time throughout covid-19 restrictions, instead we have been planning something huge that awaits our return to normality. We can’t wait to share this huge news with you all and continue to grow the Empower community. Thank you again to all our members and friends for the ongoing support. Now get over to Mindbody and book out another week of bootcamps in the car park #EMPOWERCLUB

17.01.2022 It’s now well over a month into isolation and we are all more then likely developing habits that we didn’t have before. Whether it’s good or bad habits, we have all had to adapt the way we live over the past month and a bit. We are still all in the unknown but from all reports things are heading in the right direction. Regardless of when we return to normal living, we need to stay connected and put time into our friendships and relationships. If you feel very ISOlated from p...eople and just want some interaction, then reach out to us. Our community welcomes everyone and provides an opportunity to start your day with a sweat and a chat at 7am. Zoom workouts aren’t just there to help people stay motivated. They are there to help as all connect and have an opportunity to reach out to one another. Feel free to shoot us a message if you are looking to join our community of legends and get involved

We are located Footscray 3011 so are safe for now with all PT, group training and physiotherapy services av...ailable. We have been doing everything we can to create a safe place for people to train in and will continue to do so. All we ask that you please continue to work with us and not against us in creating a positive and safe environment for all. We feel for every business and individual that is affected by this and send our best wishes to all. Let’s stick together and reach out to one another more then ever right now because times like this is when it will matter most. To all our members we can’t thank you enough for the support. Let’s keep moving forward day by day doing whatever we can to stay in good health. We will keep you all updated through our Instagram feed with whatever news and updates we receive.

11.01.2022 NOV 9th, it’s on! #gym #melbourne #fitness

09.01.2022 We are now 1 month in to our second round of lockdowns and closure of gyms. We have no doubt that every person within our extended community is now feeling the pinch in some way or another. The generosity and support from our members has been nothing short of incredible and we can never thank each and every one of you enough. To have so many of you still supporting us means the absolute world to us and we cannot wait to give back to you all when all this is done. We all know ...that it is going to be a rough road ahead for many weeks or maybe months to come. We hope that the initial 6 week free running program that we released with @therunningplanner has had a huge impact in keeping you all fit and healthy throughout lockdown 2.0. At the end of the 6 week program we will have something in line for you to make sure we can keep the ball rolling. This next few weeks we encourage everyone to keep reaching out to one another and checking in to see if your friends are doing okay. If anyone feels as though they are really battling and need some help or support, then please do not ever hesitate to reach out to us for a chat or any kind of support. This new way of living will be with us for a while now and who knows when on earth we will be aloud back into our beloved gym. If exercise has always been your way of finding happiness and your daily release, then do whatever you can to readjust your training and maintain your healthy habits throughout the next period of lockdown. Stay safe everyone and stay tuned for some training updates over the coming weeks

09.01.2022 We welcome everyone with open arms!

07.01.2022 RUN THROUGH LOCKDOWN 2.0 is here We are super excited to be able to bring you all a plan to keep you fit, healthy and some what sane throughout lockdown 2.0. We welcome everyone from @therunningplanner community and the broader Empower community who will be joining us for the first time. ... We understand the importance of exercise for everyone’s mental and physical health all the time let alone through out times like this. The government has said we can exercise for an hour a day outside, but what does that even look like for those without structure and a plan in place?

If you want to gain access to this free program then please make sure you follow and tag your friends in our previous post, then head over to FB and request to join Empower Club Online Group where we will be posting the 6 week program for everyone to access.

06.01.2022 Our baby turns 2 today ! We can’t thank our community enough for all the generosity and support during this time. It has been nearly 8 months since we have been forced to close our doors due to the pandemic - although it certainly has had its moments I don’t think our community has ever been closer and stronger.... Can’t thank all our friends , family , staff and members for everything they have helped us with to get us to where we are today. I just can’t keep repeating the phrase of together we are better over and over in my mind during all of this and we are determined to get back there again. The future does look bright and we can’t wait to share it all with you again.

06.01.2022 EMPOWER BOOTCAMPS !!! It’s time to get some level of normality back in our lives and bring everyone back together (with social distancing measures in place ) We are beyond excited to see you all and better yet show you the renovations once we are aloud within the gym! We have a few things to clear up for you all regarding bootcamps. Kicking off this Monday we will be running bootcamps for all Empower members with a capacity for 9 people at 11 Mephan st Footscray. All Clas...ses MUST BE BOOKED in advance. All bookings can be made via mindbody app however payments will be made before class in the Empower Espresso Bar. Classes are a $10 casual fee for Empower Online Members and unlimited access to those who are still paying their full level membership. Those who book a class and do not cancel within 24 hours+ or no show to class will be expected to make $10 payment fee for taking a spot that could have been used for someone else (this includes full access members). We urge all members to turn up 5-10 minutes before their session and do not turn up late. The espresso bar will be open for coffees and taking payments before classes commence. If weather is forecast to rain, we will be cancelling the class the night before for your safety and to prevent the risk of any equipment getting wet and ruined. Please keep an eye on our Instagram stories and Online FB group as we will make this call prior to 7pm the night before. All Bootcamp sessions are going to be intense conditioning focused sessions. With this we will still be programming our at home workouts for those who can’t make it to Bootcamps. This will give members some balance throughout the week making sure you get your strength work in from home. Zoom classes will no longer be a thing however we will still upload videos of the workouts to be done at home. Run Club will also now be available for members. Spots for this can be booked via Mindbody also. Run Club will meet at Anglers Tavern Car Park so please meet there 5mins prior to your session also.

02.01.2022 PLEASE READ! Firstly, due to rain forecast tomorrow morning our bootcamps will be cancelled giving everyone a chance to recharge and get ready for next week.. Annnnd secondly have ONLY 3 More sleeps to go.. This coming Monday we reopen the doors of Empower with new and improved renovations complete. We have loads of news to drop over the coming weeks but can’t let the cat out of bag yet ... As of Monday we will have classes of 20ppl split into 2x groups of 10. Given our training space is now in excess of 500m2 this gives us a huge amount of space to train in. We already had one of the biggest group training spaces in Melbourne but over covid-19 shut down we decided to take it to another level in preparations for this return. Classes will run for 45mins and commence on the hour. This will give ample time for cleaning and for people to leave and move on before the next class. If you are early for your class then please do not come into the building until a few minutes prior to class start time so that we can manage numbers coming in and out of the building. If you want to get involved in what’s going to be our most exciting 6months of operations yet, then message us now.

As we mentioned in our previous post, memberships will recommence next week so get in quick and get on board before the price rise in a month!

Pilates, Balance and Punch will no longer be on the timetable as we have something bigger and better for you all that is just around the corner Get excited everyone because shits about to get REAL! #EMPOWERCLUB #WEBACKBABY

01.01.2022 Thank you to the entire Empower community for all the messages of support and well wishes. The main theme we have learnt as founders of Empower Club has been to show strength and leadership when faced with challenging circumstances. This time is no exception.... Our first cause of action is as always directed to our members. We would kindly ask our members to advise us on what course of action they would like for us to take on there membership as of the advise given down to re enter stage 3 restrictions. We are not the only ones who are effected by this financially so please let us know if suspension is what you require. If any of our members feel as if they are in a financial position to still support us (all be it temporarily even) then that’s something we would cherish as a small business and community also. The entire COVID journey has taught us that nothing is for certain and we can only adapt to the circumstances that have been put forward upon us. So we will be going back to the drawing board on how we can be a support to you all again during this next phase of lock down. It actually excites us to see what we can come up with For now we are going to have a nice meal tonight with our loved ones and a good sleep. We will run you all over the game plan moving forward first thing in the AM. Together we are better and we look forward to providing a positive space for you all in the next coming weeks. Empower team.
