I was with Empower Coaching for 6 months, but the last 3 months I got an injury. Because of this, I wasn't able to train properly. I had to take it very easy, couldn't progressively overload, sometimes I had to take a few weeks off training etc. Despite this, I saw great results and my body composition has really changed since starting with Empower! A lot of it, I believe was due to nutrition. Before starting with Empower I had no idea about macros, what my maintenance calories were etc. I was completely lost. So learning how much food and what kind of food my body needs was the biggest takeaway from my coaching journey. As soon as I started to track my macros, my body started to change. I was already familiar with strength training before joining, so the exercises were nothing new to me. It was good to have a plan though and to stick to it. I had to leave Empower as my injury got worse and I felt like I wanted to go off on my own so I can decide myself what and how much to train, how big of a surplus I want to be in etc. Overall, my experience with Empower has been great, I've seen really great results and I'm blown away by how much my body has changed.I would say though, that before joining, you have to be prepared to put in the work. It will not be easy. You need to do your steps, track your food (or stick to the meal plan), and you have to stick to your training plan. It's not a quick fix, it's a lifestyle change. If you're not prepared to work hard, you probably should think twice before joining. My overall impression is that this is a great service but I also agree with others that it seems like they have too many clients. Sometimes the responses you get are a bit confusing, and sometimes, I was given exercises like deadlifts etc, despite the fact that I had stated in the beginning that I do not want to deadlifts due to my injury. No hard feelings though, but for the price you pay I think it would be better to take on less clients and give them full 100% attention. But to summarise - I have loved my time with Empower, it's truly changed my body and how I view myself - now I love my body and feel proud of it, and I no longer have these intense urges to restrict and binge. That is priceless to me. I definitely recommend Empower, just be prepared to work hard. You are the one who needs to put in the effort.
