One of the worst experiences of my life. Please do not enroll with this program!I was so excited to join with empower, I loved Emma’s account where she would show before and after pictures of her clients & I was excited to be able to eat a range of meals whilst being able to build muscle. The reality however, was absolutely terrible.Questionable experience and qualifications: I told Emma that I wanted to add 5kg of muscle (I had no idea what I was asking but I’m not the expert, so I tried my best to communicate what I wanted as best as I could) She just got me 5kg heavier (all fat) and was focused on the number on the scale rather than how I actually looked. Anyone with decent experience in coaching would know from my pictures that I'm getting out of shape and not building any muscle!!!I was in the worst shape of my life, which was horrible as I put all my trust in Emma. There were a few moments where I questioned what she was doing and she kept reassuring me that all was well and the scale going up was the right way forward. I was desperate to gain muscle and I was paying £130 per month to rely on her, rather than myself, so I just went with it!!Im less desperate now and more knowledgable. I have dropped the body fat and managed to gain muscle all by myself with no bloody qualifications! Terrible meal plans: Most of her meal plans are full of sugar and processed food. I was eating so much rubbish and dairy, that I was sick for a few weeks. It got so bad I had to get an ultra scan. I hear that she suffers from ED, so I'm wondering if her macros and plans are causing more harm than benefit?! Does she actually know what healthy looks like? Personalisation: Honestly, now I'm more knowledgable and have managed to coach myself (lol) I have to say there is no personalisation at all. I signed up to the app that she uses, and it pretty much works it out for you. She didn’t keep tabs on my progression as much as she should have. She relied on what the app told her to do and kept going with it even though I was obviously getting out of shape. Her personal brand:It honestly annoys me that I signed up when she promoted muscle gain & would talk about how she suffered being skinny and now she’s much happier. But then all of a sudden she got extremely skinny then hated on the pics that initially sold to me and others. It seems like she changes the narrative to fit whatever she is going through. I honestly do not think she’s ethical. I think she’s suffering from an ED, confused, inexperienced & a little lost. If you look back at her instagram pics you will see phases of where she hates being skinny, then loves being skinny; hates being a gym girl who lifts heavy then loves it. Total contradictions. Honestly, if you want to build muscle, save your £130 per month and watch YouTubers like Coach Greg and Lyle McDonald, they pretty much tell you what to do for free. There’s so many actual scientists and researchers in muscle building that literally give knowledge away for FREE! If you’re unable to hold yourself accountable, ask your friends if they can help or put your money towards a decent in-person PT, who will most likely give you advice within the package and will ensure you work hard at the gym! You will end up falling in love with the gym & you will automatically want to learn more about nutrition and a healthy lifestyle on your own terms and based on your own lifestyle. A lot of these influencers with 100k plus followers are just trying to sell you something that helps them make money and can hook you in. They honestly don’t care about you. (Edited to say, that all of the positive reviews are when clients have worked with people in her team who have now left Empower. Whatever you do, do not get coaching by Emma! She’s a content creator, not a fitness coach)
