We had a fantastic turn out yesterday to help us celebrate the start of our 3rd year in our great Jericho Village location.  We had 27 members turn out to participate in the team workout designed for 24, plus several members who came out to cheer teams on.  Even the sunshine came out to help us celebrate.

Teams of 4 or 5 circulated between 3 challenging stations playing for points against other teams.  Despite the numerical disparity, team scores were close.  The winning team Vertigo did have five members but scored only 24 points more than second place Team No Rep’s team of four.  The other teams: Wish, 2020 (aka Perfect Vision), Empower Rangers, and That Team were all close enough in points to call themselves competitive.

It was a great way to launch a very busy 2020 because there is a lot going on at Empower that you need to know about!

CanWest Qualifiers

We were caught off-guard by the surprise date shift for the CanWest Qualifiers.  As a result, we will be revising our training format to adapt to the much shorter timeline.  If you are registered as an individual or for the team qualifiers, you are welcome to join us Saturdays at 11am.  We will be discussing mind set, pacing and competition strategy.  There will be time to work on your skills and conditioning and ask coaches about your particular competition goals and strategies.

Google Reviews
Thanks everyone who took the time to write us a Google review.  The past couple days we have had prospects approach us specifically citing your reviews as their reasons for their choosing Empower.  It is difficult for prospective members to differentiate between gyms.  Online reviews are a quick, budget-friendly way to help the right people find us.  If you haven’t yet written us a review we’d be grateful if you took three minutes to say something about one of the following subjects:

1. How have you benefited from training at Empower?
2. What does Empower do best?
3. How can the prospective member expect to benefit from training at Empower?
4. Who is the type of person that would most benefit from training at Empower?

Stealing a March Over the Holidays
Congratulations Empower, you did it!  Despite holidays and vacations, you kept on training and the December Personal Best Board bore witness to your success.  Group classes remained busy throughout the holidays including great Christmas Day and New Year’s Day turn outs!
