First things first, Emma is a lovely person and this is nothing against her or her team at all. It’s clear she is very hard working and has a passion for fitness and her business, this is just my honest experience. I spent about 5 months with empower in total. I set my goals to weight loss and I think in all honestly I was expecting a lot more to happen to my body than what did. Yes I had a few weeks where my calorie intake wasn’t perfect but in the whole 5 months I started at 56kg and ended at 57.5kg. I didn’t lose any weight at all. To the point I had to change my goals half way through because it was just so disheartening to see the scales stay static. I am not a newby to exercise or to the gym and I agree with other reviews that this programme/coaching is maybe for people who are or have no knowledge with macros. In all honestly I did a dieting phase at the start of the year eating more calories than I was put on with empower but training more HIIT style workouts (with weights included) and the weight was falling off me. I think in all honestly, the most I got out of it was just having someone there to hold me accountable and to ask how I was doing each week which I guess is really nice but not for £125 a month. I ended up having to leave 1. Because of the money, I couldn’t justify the amount I was spending anymore and 2. Because my circimstances have changed. I’m a shift worker working long days, nights weekends ect. It’s pretty much impossible to consistently, week after week, follow this plan. Once through a stint of nights when I explained that my sleep is pretty awful right now, I was advised to have regular naps during the day to help. I mean, how can you advise someone to have naps when 12.5 hours of the day they’re on their feet at work. I think at this point it was clear this program was not suitable for me anymore.Another side point, it’s made out that you talk to Emma through the app but at times I feel like there’s definitely other people replying to you. This is not made clear at all. It would have been nice to know who your conversing with through the phone whether it be emma or someone else. This sometimes became very confusing.
