Awful awful experience. The so called coaches aren’t even qualified in nutrition!!! They are just typical influencer gym girls nothing more than that! For these sorts of prices they should ALL BE qualified in nutrition AND personal training! And that does NOT mean just reading things on Google and thinking your an online coach !The meal plans are ridiculous and boring! I could come up with better meals myself and save £145 a month! The exercise plan is just as terrible and does not change! The responses are automated on the “check up” days! If you want anything from them questions etc you’ll have a long wait! I wish I never signed up and never ever heard of empower! NEVER again! I’ve told all my friends that follow Emma my experience and they were horrified, needless to say they won’t be joining these terrible “company” either!I did pay for the minimum 3 months because I agreed to those terms but I will learn a strong life lesson from that! Don’t trust “influencers”
I've had coaching from Emma and Jasmine for just over a year now, and I cannot thank them enough. I've not just lost weight and changed my whole body, but completely changed my attitude to food and I have fallen in love with training in the gym. My lifestyle has completely changed and I wouldn't have got there without their coaching.
I was really looking forward to working with empower. I received a phone call to discuss my goals but they were very pushy to get me to join and I felt pressured. They suggested a 4 or 6 month membership. Luckily I chose to do 4 months. I got sent my meal and exercise plans, the meals I got sent were very generic and bland, a friend of mine had used them too and had lovely meals compared to the meal plans that I got. They post recipes on their Instagram which you are much better using. I was not happy with the meal plan and immediately wanted to cancel my membership, but as I had accessed them I had to pay for the 4 month contract which was about £650 which I will never get back. As I opened their plan to see if it was for me, I wasn’t allowed to cancel and had to pay the whole fee which is very unfair. I tried to do the plan, the exercises were good but the recipes were just boring and you have to send pictures in underwear to track progress which I was not comfortable with. I’m really disappointed as you should be able to see the plan they have for you and decide you want to cancel. But no they took £600+ from me which I will never get back! The plan is also meant to be personalised. As I a shift worker and a student working 12+ hour days and not having loads of money to spend on food was not considered. I opted for mostly veggie recipes which were all filled with tofu and just tasteless. The breakfasts were the same each week and after stating I tried overnight oats and didn’t like it they kept putting it as most of my breakfast ideas.
The most emphatic thing I can say is that I felt scammed by this app and this company! PLEASE read all the one star reviews (I didn’t, huge mistake). For the price point (£130 a month) I expected so much more, and all I got were automated/standardised responses, none of which took into consideration any of the concerns or my health issues that I shared with their sales manager (Hannah) prior to signing up. The meal plans were awful - you’d have better luck and more flavour using ChatGPT to come up with a meal plan. The workout programmes also have NO way of actually considering individual needs. They’re all generic exercises you can find anywhere, for free. There’s no way for them to check your form, or ensure that you’re making necessary adjustments - all of which is something people should expect for this price point. The weekly check ins are pointless - no actual feedback of your measurements takes place, nothing to provide any direction at all. This service and company preys on people who are disheartened and seeking help - and does not offer any real help, all while charging SO MUCH money. My 4 month commitment has now thankfully ended and I’m spending LESS on a PT and actual programme customised to my goals, concerns, and health.
I've followed Emma for ages on Instagram and thought right I'm going to sign up! I've been with much cheaper coaches before but her meal plans enticed me in! First step was her pa, who I thought was quite rude and pushy (all about marketing isn't it!) the prices are crazayyyyyy, people, there are much cheaper packages out there and the cost of living! Phew, who can afford this stuff!! Pa acts like it's limited spaces and that they are doing you a HUGE favour which is off putting in itself (to me personally!) although on insta it's always advertised so are there really limited spaces?? After all it's not actually Emma who you speak with! So I didn't like the initial process so I'm not going to go for it, especially after reading the reviews. I dunno man. I really like Emma on Instagram but the marketing and the prices are just cray cray. It's a no from me. If it was a lot cheaper I would probably go for it. I think as someone else has said, it's more for novices. If you really want to lose weight, just eat less, eat better and exercise/move more right? Why you got to pay £150 to be told that! Mental
I have just finished 6 months with Empower and it has been a great experience. I really enjoyed the meals and if I didn’t like anything it was quickly changed. I enjoyed the work outs and it really helped me have a better relationship with eating differently and not restricting. Would definitely recommend to anyone wanting to get back on track on have some help and accountability.
TOTAL WASTE OF MONEY. Feels like a scam, they call you on the phone and give you a whole (very cringe) sales pitch about how it will change your life and Emma will help you out so much and be available to chat to (she is never involved at all, just the face of this scam) Then I was told about the pricing, it’s cheaper the more time you sign your life away to this pointless app. I explained I wasn’t in a steady financial position and could I stop my membership if I needed to, they lied and told me I could. So I stupidly fell for it as I wanted to get fit and healthy and have some motivation and direction as I’ve never been a gym person. It was £120 a month for me, the exercises are just generic ones you could find on YouTube for free, there’s barely any communication. If you ask a question it takes about 2-3 days for one of their bot like employees to answer. The meal plan - disgusting. The recipes are literally awful and don’t make any sense, some were inedible for eg - the recipe for a veggie burger was to use frozen quorn mince to make a burger - (obviously that doesn’t work it’s not like meat mince and just falls apart) the ones that were edible tasted terrible and bland. They also kept putting a load of sweet stuff on my plan - pancakes, yogurt etc for breakfast lunch and dinner? I kept telling them I liked savoury meals and don’t have much of a sweet tooth, they changed it once but then the next time the meal plan changed they would just put exactly the kind of horrible sweet stuff I’d explained I don’t like. I didn’t see any improvement, it felt like a weird pyramid scheme that encourages eating disorder behaviour- measuring everything and counting calories and steps. When I told them it wasn’t working for me they wouldn’t let me leave and kept taking my money. Eventually after a lot of back and forth and insisting they ended my membership. Wasted £360 I wish I could get that money back I feel like I spent it on nothing. I would have been so much better off just paying a PT sand would have cost the same if not less, and this is what I will do now I’ve learned my lesson, but I wish I’d never signed up to this scam, a warning to everyone - DONT DO IT
Deciding to sign up to Empower was genuinely one of the best decisions I ever made. I was at the lowest point of my life. I had gained so much weight that I honestly had a hard time looking at myself in the mirror. I hid in baggy clothes, never wanted my picture taken and rarely wanted to leave the house. I felt lost, defeated and unmotivated. Most of all, I felt sad. Emma’s dedication and patience with me has now gotten me to the place I am today. I’ve regained so much confidence in myself that I sometimes walk around my house naked just because I love my body so much 🙈 sure, the physical results are great but for me it was the shift in my mindset, the boost in my confidence and the feeling of loving myself again that has made the most difference in my life. I’ve never stuck to any type of program before but i honestly don’t even consider Empower a “program.” It’s just a part of my life now. It’s so custom and tailored to my needs so it integrates perfectly with my busy lifestyle. The workouts are effective and the meal plans are TO DIE FOR! Pasta is my favorite food and Emma made it so I can literally eat pasta twice a day if I want. My boyfriend is the pickiest eater in the world but he loves it when I make him an Empower meal and sometimes gets more excited for my meal plan updates than I do 😂Emma is kind, motivating, knowledgeable and the best cheerleader ever. She constantly makes adjustments as I need them, is there with words of encouragement and has me thinking “what did I ever do without this?!”I’m going on 1 year with empower and I just made sure to extend my subscription because I genuinely cannot imagine not having Emma, her insanely delicious meal plans and workout guides in my life. I’m sooo excited to see what I achieve this year with Empower.
Love the Empower programme!! Emma is so supportive and helpful! Can message her whenever i need help or guidance! She is so adaptable & flexible ! She adapts my plans every week to suit my goals! She gives me that extra push & motivation i need! She gets me out of a rut and encourages me to try things out with my comfort zone! I love that her plans are realistic & encourage me to still eat the foods i enjoy! Cant thank her enough for all her help over the last year!
Joining Empower was one of the best things I have done for myself. The team are so helpful and supportive and they truely care. They have a positive and kind approach to health and fitness that makes the whole program really enjoyable. Everything is completely tailored to your goals, needs, likes and dislikes to ensure you see the best results possible. I couldn’t recommend it enough!
