Specialty Programs

Specialty Programs at Empower

Focused training. Clear goals. Real coaching.

Not everyone wants the same thing from their training — and they shouldn’t have to.

Empower’s specialty programs are small-group training experiences built around specific goals, life stages, and interests.

Whether you’re building strength after 40, 50 or 60, improving performance for sport, or working on movement mechanics, there’s a program designed to meet you where you are.

You can register directly for any program below.

Performance & Conditioning Programs

HYROX Training

Introducing HYROX at Empower Fitness

Built for real-world fitness. No choreography. No standing around pretending to stretch while your soul leaves your body. Just running, strength, grit, and engine.

HYROX blends functional training with endurance in a format designed to push athletes of every level.

Whether you’re a seasoned competitor, a former athlete looking for a new target, or someone who simply wants to get brutally fit with purpose, this class delivers.

Expect sled pushes, carries, rowing, ski ergs, wall balls, and intervals that feel like a handshake with adversity.

Train hard. Track progress. Suffer alongside good people.

📆 Wednesdays at 7:00pm and Sundays at 8:00am

Free for current Empower CrossFit group class members.

Non-members can buy 5- or 10- class sessions.

Fight Fit

Fight Fit is a combat-inspired conditioning program designed to help martial artists and active adults build strength, power, and endurance that actually transfers to the mat or ring.

Perfect for anyone who practices combat sports — or wants smart, high-energy training inspired by them.

📆 Fridays, 5:00-6:30 pm

Strength & Longevity Programs

Original Strength With Heehee

Move better. Feel better. Perform longer.

Our new Original Strength class at Empower is designed to help you reclaim the movement patterns your body was built for. Through breathing, crawling, rolling, balance, and simple restorative drills, you’ll improve mobility, coordination, resilience, and recovery — without grinding yourself into dust.

Whether you want to lift heavier, move pain-free, recover faster, or simply feel more athletic in daily life, Original Strength builds the foundation that everything else depends on.

Strong doesn’t start with intensity. It starts with quality movement.

📆 Program runs Saturdays, 11:00 am to noon

Community and longevity

Brings value to your life

"I have tried other types of gyms before joining Empower, and I really appreciate the dedication and sustainability of the group classes. You have to show up. You have to do the same workout as everyone else. And you have to finish. I really like that part of CrossFit, and it brings a lot of value to my life."
