The benefit is that empower has made me see red flags easier! I started as part of one of their promotions, which are just marketing gimmicks as you get the same “coaching” as everyone else.For over £120 per month you get a generic workout plan, which I’ve no doubt they don’t personalise and just push out to everyone. Then a meal plan which is basically the recipes you can get on the Instagram for free, but put through the app to meet your calorie goal to get an ingredients list that barely makes sense; 1/2 an egg, 1 1/3 slices of toast etc. The amount of food waste you create if you follow it accurately! I once got told off for doing my check in too late - I did mine at 10am and got the response that they wouldn’t be looking at it because they were off the clock at 4:30pm. Not sure what my coach was doing all day but it certainly wasn’t working! You do a check in and get a generic response in return, my coach remembered nothing about my individual situation or why I was doing the coaching, I got similar responses every week (that are probably a template they just fill in) and hardly any support or help. The 1:1 coaching they push is this single message every week. I don’t know how much work these girls are doing as their Instagram stories seem to have them swanning off getting brunch every day, and not much actual coaching happening! Got my calories lowered 3 weeks in a row “just to make sure it’s working” not that I’m convinced you can know after a week that anything is working, it had only been a week! Which also makes me think they don’t even look at the previous weeks message when they send the updated one, they just send something generic, whack the meals through the generator again and close you off for another week! Not to mention the app is a template that a lot of other coaches also use; so when they talk about improving the app and the user experience it’s not even empower doing it, it’s the company that produces the app template! I just felt like I’ve had more help from generic Instagram accounts than I have these girls - it might work for some people but you have to be affluent (like the coaches are) and prepared to spend a lot of money on biscoff.
