Here, you’ll find a mix of resources designed to help you live stronger—inside and outside the gym. From weekly WOD breakdowns that prepare you for what’s ahead, to tips and movement-focused posts that help you train safely and effectively, we’ve got you covered.

You’ll also discover healthy recipes and nutrition advice from our coaches, plus wellness wisdom that touches on mindset, recovery, and lifestyle habits that support your goals. And because community is at the heart of Empower, we regularly highlight the accomplishments, stories, and events that make our gym more than just a place to work out.
