Empowerment Training Centre

Fantastic experience: Having never been to a gym before. I can honestly say this place and the coaches are amazing. I’m in my 60’s and getting very creaky . Stacey was very understanding of my ailments and adapted the PT sessions accordingly to help me strengthen and fitten. Top girl. Knows her stuff.

Fantastic experience: I love it here! I’ve not enjoyed exercise before but joining ETC has been brilliant. Professional and friendly coaches in a classy location.

Fantastic experience: The best gym to get you back to you, great coaches and like minded people

Fantastic experience: I joined ETC after it was recommended to me by a family member. I was looking for training that would complement my rugby, while also helping me get stronger and fitter — even though I wasn’t entirely sure what that would look like. From the very first phone call, I learned the importance of setting measurable goals. Since then, my assigned coach has helped me set personal targets and planned my training blocks to align with my goals. As a result, I’ve not only been able to lift heavier and build muscle, I’ve also gained confidence in how I look. The programming at ETC is truly next level. Every class is thoughtfully designed, with exercises that can be tailored to each individual, so that everyone is challenged and supported no matter their ability. Community is at the heart of ETC. With knowledgeable coaches, small class sizes, and members who genuinely support each other, it’s an environment that motivates you to do your best every session.

Fantastic experience: Joined ETC just after the pandemic after a work colleague had recommended them to me. I was an introverted, out of shape ball of nerves as many of us were after what seemed like forever in isolation having no idea what to expect but desperately wanted to get out that isolated bubble. First impressions in no specific order: Friendliest place on earth! The complete opposite of a 'commercial' gym with a team of wonderful coaches who will always have your back (literally, form is everything). Coaches - The lushest humans, even when they come over with that heavier dumbbell you really didn't want in your life at the time but will be greatful for one day, just not that day. Fun - Who know exercise doesn't need to be a drag. Tidiness - 10/10 - No dumbbell is left out of place Coffee - 10/10 Members - 10/10, have made lifelong friends In nearly 3 years I've become a much happier, calmer and healthier version of myself and I can't picture life without it and I have brought my partner along to join the ETC fam. Highly recommended it!

Fantastic experience: The absolute best place to train in town! Knowledge, coaching and support of the coaches are second to none.

Fantastic experience: Lots of fun and lots of pain!

Fantastic experience: I have been a member at etc for over 2 years now which is the longest I have been a member at a gym and it has inspired me to be the most consistent I have been in training. The programs that are designed for the members are truthfully amazing. They are created with knowledge to make the most impact of the time and with the skill to bring out your best during the session to ensure continuous progress. The sessions never get easier but that’s because you keep pushing harder to be the strongest and fittest that you can be. However none of this would be possible without the great coaches who go above and beyond making sure your form is correct to making sure you are being the best version of you. They have also created a safe supportive environment which has created a great community. I will always be grateful for the confidence and strength this gym has not just given me but my husband aswell!

Fantastic experience: I can’t recommend Empowerment Training Centre enough! The coaches are incredibly attentive and encouraging, and they always tailor workouts to fit your needs. I really love that I don’t have to think about planning my own routine—everything is structured with courses that are designed around clear goals and real results. Every session feels purposeful, and the guidance from the team makes it easy to stay motivated and push myself. A fantastic place to train!

Fantastic experience: I joined ETC in August 2024 but with one thing and another I haven't managed to get into the gym as often as I would like. However the coaches have been great with me. And will always make sure I go easy when I am in and then start pushing me when they see that I am ready. Stacey is my assigned coach and she has just been amazing these last few weeks. Very supportive and encouraging. Thank you! The gym itself has excellent equipment and I really love the smaller group PT sessions.

Fantastic experience: ETC is a fantastic place to train. For me, the programming is what truly sets it apart - always structured and varied, keeping things fresh while holding you accountable - so you get the most out of every session. All of the coaches bring genuine knowledge and expertise, giving you the right mix of support and challenge, helping you to push your limits without ever feeling out of your depth. They will always adapt a session to make you work that little bit harder! The atmosphere the guys have created is friendly and motivating, with something for every ability. I’ve seen real progress since joining and wouldn’t hesitate in recommending the gym to anyone! Having it just a 2-minute walk away is the icing on the cake!

Positive experience: A fantastic gym for those who may not have enjoyed the gym experience in the past. Great coaching and programming, a friendly and inclusive environment, would highly recommend

Fantastic experience: This place is superb - I don’t want to call it a gym because it’s so much more than that. There are no mirrors, no posers, instead, it’s a great atmosphere and the coaches are fantastic - knowledgeable, supportive and very entertaining . For the first time ever, I look forward to going for a workout and I leave buzzing! And it’s working! The fat is going a good sustainable rate. I highly recommend ETC. worth every penny! X

Fantastic experience: Another fab session. This one is for you @kyle

Fantastic experience: I’ve been going for over a year now, great gym, very knowledgable coaching staff and friendly members.

Fantastic experience: ETC is life changing, it’s not a gym it’s community. I find it extremely difficult for me to maintain motivation with a regular gym so for me ETC has been amazing, regular check ins with your coach, coach led classes, everything I wanted!

Fantastic experience: I have been consistently attending ETC for 5 years, it’s been great for my physical and mental health. I appreciate the support from the coaches and being able to turn up at the gym and complete a well structured, time efficient workout with plenty of space and equipment. The members are really welcoming and encourage each other to achieve more. It’s an awesome environment to train in. I finally achieved a pull up for the first time at 44 years and have more goals that I hope to achieve this year with support from my coach at ETC.

Fantastic experience: The epitome of an inclusive and community-based hub of health and fitness. Tim and the team have created an exceptionally unique, memorable, warm, welcoming and encouraging family (I don't use that word lightly) of all capabilities that extends beyond the purpose of why many people choose to pursue their fitness goals in a facility like this. It would be an understatement to say all go above and beyond to support and educate their client base. The commitment of all involved to create an all-empowering environment and experience for members is relatively unheard of - Few and far between in the UK. If you value your wellbeing and want to be surrounded with the perfect group to lift you up and support you along the way, look no further.

Fantastic experience: Excellent Gym

Fantastic experience: Great Gym - Great Coaches - Lovely people.

Fantastic experience: I joined ETC a couple of months ago and it’s been the best decision I’ve ever made. I have been guided and supported so much by the coach’s and the community that they have created is amazing. I always look forward to my sessions, and feel so positive after I’ve completed them. Thank you ETC.

Fantastic experience: This is the best gym in the Midlands. Every session and programme is purpose-driven and adaptable to individual needs. The in-house seminars are incredibly insightful, and the coaches' knowledge is unparalleled. If you’re searching for a gym where you can feel like a valued member of a community while receiving personalised service focused on your goals, this is the place for you. Plus they have great coffee!

Fantastic experience: Best gym in Northampton, unlike any other gym I’ve been to before, the coaches genuinely care and invest in making sure you make progress and can get the results you want. I recommend to anyone who wants a friendly, empowering gym where you will always feel welcome!

Fantastic experience: I was inspired to join ETC after seeing my friends get amazing results at a similar set up ‘up North’. I was starting to get bored of my exercise routine and really wanted to see what I could achieve, when I stumbled across ETC…and I’m SO glad I did. 1 year on and I still enjoy attending the sessions. The coaches make an effort to really get to know you and push you to get the best out of each session. Everyone is so supportive of each others journeys, which I love and really makes ETC stand out from the crowd. Personally I am 1 stone down and starting to feel more confident in myself. But it’s not just about the physical side, ETC has had such a positive effect on my mental health and belief in myself. I’m so glad I found ETC and the wonderful coaches and tribe and I’m excited to see where it takes me!

Fantastic experience: Tim and the coaching team have created a truly special place at ETC. I’d previously tried ‘working out’ on my own, both at home and in some of the bigger gym chains but never found something I’d stuck with over a prolonged period of time and, as a result, got any meaningful progress from. With over two and a half years at ETC, and almost 350 sessions done, I’ve 100% found somewhere that works for me. Firstly, as those numbers show, I’ve stuck with it - ETC is an environment where people of all personality types are welcomed and made to feel comfortable every time they walk through the door. All sessions are done in small groups, creating a sense of camaraderie, fun and togetherness that keeps you coming back for more. The sessions are well planned, enjoyable and regularly cycled to keep things fresh. I’m not the most outgoing person, which has put me off similar things in the past, but I’ve always felt accepted and welcomed the way I am and always enjoy turning up and doing a session (even on those days when I don’t quite feel like it!). Secondly, I’ve got results that I’m proud of. Since joining, I’ve both lost fat and put on muscle and, while I don’t think I’ll ever have a superhero physique, I feel more confident in my skin. But more importantly, I’ve got fitter, faster, stronger and have a better appreciation of what my body can do. I’ve also taken part in activities and competitions that I didn’t think I’d be able to do when I started. In summary, if you’re looking for something that you can stick with and get real results from, I’d highly recommend giving ETC a try. You won’t regret it!

Fantastic experience: ETC really is a gym like no other. The knowledge and support you get from the coaching team is second to none. As someone that’s quite clumsy and getting on a bit, I do tend to get injuries and niggles, but the team will always work around these and tailor the workouts to help you get stronger and fitter. The rest of the tribe are also incredible and you won’t find a more supportive group of people anywhere else. Everyone loves to see you improve and encourages you to do just that. The gym itself is a place of beauty and somewhere you really do want to spend your time. Going to ETC is never a chore and you leave feeling amazing! Highly recommend to everyone.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been training with ETC for around 6 months now and that is easily the longest I have ever consistently gone to any gym. The reason I go is because of the incredible coaches who are always motivational, understanding and generally a lot of fun (as well as being ridiculously knowledgeable). Over the last 6 months I have lost weight, gained muscle and improved on every single lift - the time here has translated into better performances on the pitch , being faster stronger and more energetic and also just generally being in a better mood and happier in myself! Thanks ETC I’ve given you 5 stars but really you are 7/7 x

Fantastic experience: I’ve been training my whole life and never really thought I’d need a place like ETC. Joining over a year ago completely changed my perspective of exercise - I’ve never looked back. I was bored of my usual routine and now I train knowing that I’m getting variety and structure. I’m fitter and stronger than ever and mostly I love training! After my illness ETC looked after me and helped me get back to my feet slowly. They are remarkable!

Fantastic experience: Where do I start?! ETC is incredible. I've trained for years and at a few different gyms, but I haven't ever loved fitness as much as I do now. I look forward to going to ETC, I have so much fun whilst there, and I'm the fittest and strongest I've ever been. The coaches are amazing at what they do, the programming is excellent and the community is the best!! I have made friends for life. Joining ETC was the best decision!

Fantastic experience: Been going to ETC for almost a year and a half - time definitely does fly when you’re having fun. The coaches are incredible and so knowledgeable. There’s an amazing sense of community that is so supportive and encouraging and you find yourself doing things and taking part in things you never thought you’d be capable of. This facility not only helps you physically better yourself but it educates you into how to look after your body and how to correctly fuel your body; no quick fixes, aiding you to create habits for life. Mentally, you become more confident, more able to believe in yourself and able to cope with factors in life that sometimes you can’t control. Thank you ETC

Fantastic experience: WOW! Just WOW! What a place… I have always hated the gym, the best bit for me was leaving and going home! I’ve tried several gyms over the years and always felt intimidated and embarrassed not knowing how to use the equipment properly. Even after the ‘induction’ session felt like I was completely on my own and therefore it was already the beginning of the end and within 2 months I’d have given up. At ETC the sessions are coached. All the coaches are truly amazing, demonstrating and explaining each exercise guiding you, correcting or tweaking your technique so you get the best results whilst adding a fun factor and a bit of cheek, making every session thoroughly enjoyable. ETC has completely changed me, I’ve now been a member for 6 months and can’t imagine my life now without it. Well done Tim for creating such an amazing community where people can make friends, be educated and get fit at the same. Oh and have beer and pizza!!

Fantastic experience: Disney isn’t the “happiest place on earth…” Empowerment is

Fantastic experience: My partner twisted my arm to join my first ever gym ETC and I 'm so glad she did (with a couples discount too!), we've now got a set of guns each, well some may say mere pistols, ... physique as an aside, we're mentally and physically fitter for being part of this great set up.

Fantastic experience: "Empowerment Training Centre, led by Tim Stacey, Ruth, Kyle, Ali, is simply outstanding! Their expertise and dedication create an atmosphere of growth and empowerment unlike other gyms. Highly recommended!"

Fantastic experience: If you want a gym where you are truly part of a community, this is the place. Great atmosphere, no egos, so supportive and encouraging, great instructors and members alike. Love it.

Fantastic experience: I absolutely LOVE this gym ❤️. I started over 18 months ago and wanted a gym that could offer a tailored approach to accommodate years of injuries. ALL of the coaches are top notch and I have always been encouraged and supported every step of the way…never once begrudging another adaptation or requirement from my physio. I am now the fittest I have been and love the variety of the classes and the atmosphere. There are no mirrors here! It’s a definite 5 stars from me! Thank you

Fantastic experience: This is not your ordinary "run of the mill" chain gym where no one really cares if you succeed or not! The coaching team are the best at what they do, they share their knowledge openly with you to give you the best chance at success, support you on the bad days believe in you even when you don't believe in yourself. I am no slim jim gym bunny never have been (infact the polar opposite) but with genuine support have lost a massive 2 stone in weight, feel happier in my own skin and healthier overall. Team ETC are awesome ❤️

Fantastic experience: I have tried many different gyms in Northampton over the last 10 years. Always been consistent, followed plans and been motivated with my training (I enjoy exercise!) but found it frustrating I wasn't seeing much progress. Decided to look for a PT and after searching around discovered ETC. After breaking down and comparing prices with other PTs, realised it was great value for money and signed up to their trial programme. 4 months later and I'm lifting heavier, my form is better and I've seen huge changes to my physical appearance, mindset and confidence! The coaches tailor the workouts to suit every ability - so it's perfect for a newbie or someone further along their fitness journey. The coaches are incredibly knowledgeable, friendly and genuinely care about the success of all the members. Also the post workout coffee and chat is excellent too!!!

Fantastic experience: I joined ETC Two years ago. My fitness wasn’t great, due to my fibromyalgia I couldn’t move very well. My first session was sitting on a box and standing up again. I just turned up to every session and each time I could do a little more. With the help and guidance from the coaches I progressed. I also started run club supported by the coach who encouraged me to do a fitness relay. My mobility is much better, I’m stronger and fitter. If you’re apprehensive or worried that you can’t do it… give ETC a try. You will be surprised what you can do with the help and support from the coaches.

Fantastic experience: Undoubtedly the best training facility in the area (and I’ve tried most of them!) Amazing environment, spotlessly clean, friendly and not intimidating in the slightest. They make health and fitness simple, no bull! At first it was about weight loss, I’m 30kg down. Then it was about fitness and strength - and now I’m In the best shape of my life. Unquestionable results, thank you team

Fantastic experience: Best training facility in the area with the most knowledgeable and caring coaches. ETC has changed my life and my approach to fitness and I could not be anymore grateful for all of the support and opportunities that I have been given. You da best!

Fantastic experience: I don't usually write reviews, but I'll make an exception for this place. I've been going to ETC for just over a year now and my experience has been amazing. Every time I walk through the door, I'm greeted with my name and known - such a difference to any commercial gym! You work in groups, completing a set of exercises, with a coach there to support and guide you. You are never on your own, wondering if what you are doing is correct. The gym is always clean, and tidy and the equipment is always kept in good working order. It has a great atmosphere, with extremely knowledgeable coaches, who are constantly encouraging, supporting, and enabling you to be your best. This isn't a gym, this is a community of like-minded individuals, who are all at different stages of their fitness journey, but all are working together towards a common goal - to be the best that they can be!

Fantastic experience: Amazing coaches, consistently great experience, friendly and encouraging environment. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Good location, loads of parking for the multiple business owners and customers.

Fantastic experience: 5 star people

Fantastic experience: Great facilities, great coaches, great members. It’s just great! Did I say great to much, not possible as it’s that GREAT.

Fantastic experience: Top notch facility but what really stands out is the coaching, the quality of training, the people, the coaches and the community. Bit of a dodgy accent on the owner though but don’t hold it against him ;) If you’re local and not a member, you’re missing out. 5*s all round

Negative experience: Signed up to receive further information, then though my own research found the actual cost for a month £130! and replied to the 4th email I got of them, stating I wasn't interested anymore as it's to costly, also unsubscribed from further emails. Then received yet another email today and a phone call.. Talk about hounding for a sale... Ill join my local gym as it's cheaper and I don't get continued contact I've not requested

Fantastic experience: Can’t explain how amazing this place is. So much more than a gym, supports my health and wellness from nutrition, exercise, coaching, to perimenopause symptoms. Super encouraging, awesome tribe of supportive people, in sessions, events and activities. My mental health is so supported by attending - no matter how hard my day or week is, I already leave feeling better and re-energised

Fantastic experience: This place is fantastic! I have NEVER enjoyed exercise until now, I can’t be without ETC. The equipment and coaches are top notch. And the members are now friends. I feel stronger and healthier than ever.

Fantastic experience: I'm very happy I m a member now. I enjoy every single training day with you. You have brilliant team of coaches, all professianal and friendly and I can't recommend you enough. Thanks for your hard work and see you soon when I'll have to work hard too ‍♂️

Fantastic experience: I have been a member of ETC for over 4 wonderful years, what an incredible 4 years it has been. Not only do I feel amazing, my body has transformed, I have more energy, knowledge and a desire to train more. Great environment, expert coaches and nutritionists would recommend to everyone 5 stars

Fantastic experience: One of the best decisions I’ve made was joining ETC! The environment Tim and his team create just makes you want to go time and again. Always greeted with a hello and made to feel welcome by staff and other members, it’s never a chore going!

Fantastic experience: ETC, my honest review! I joined ETC after a lot (ok a huge) amount of persuading from my husband and friend who were already members seeing some great results and benefits. I joined in September 2021 and honestly can say haven’t looked back. My induction was with other new members and I was so scared, my nerves were on overdrive and could barely do the 5minute exercise! All the coaches made it fun and really looked after us all. I started attending core session (3 per week) plus a fit session. I started seeing my fitness and strength improving each week (the is a clever app to log your sessions) but the BIGGEST DIFFERENCE for me was in my mental health. I started to see my anxiety and overthinking decrease - yes I still have moments but with regular exercise the last year would of been a hell of a lot harder!!! Roll on 18months and I have competed in Hyrox (6times), NFG, Turf Games and competing a half marathon in a matter of weeks. Without all the coaches, friends I have made and the undoubted about of support from ETC members and coaches this would not have been possible! The MEMBERS - all the members at ETC are amazing, supportive, encouraging and a lot of fun! I am so proud to call lots of them my friends ♥️ they have cheered, hugged, laughed and wiped away tears. You couldn’t ask for a better COMMUNITY. If you have any doubts about joining! DON’T JUST DO IT!

Fantastic experience: Since my very first intro call with Tim, my ETC experience has been phenomenal. When my last 'gym' closed I was heartbroken, it was such a unique place with fantastic people and an awesome coach that I honestly didn't know what I was going to do; I felt like I'd only just got my training mojo back in a place that really saw me (a queer, gender non-conforming person) and where I could be 100% myself without fear or worry and it was suddenly taken away... It was actually my previous coach who recommended ETC to me and right from that first call with Tim I just knew it was the place I needed to be. Every single coach and member is a 7/7; if you're a queer person looking for a truly inclusive gym, ETC is the place ️‍️‍⚧️

Fantastic experience: Absolutely amazing! Have been made to feel very welcome, both by people in the tribe and all of the amazing coaches. I actually look forward to coming to sessions, and always feel like I matter as an individual, with training tailored to me and adjusted to work for me. I also feel like the balance of how hard I am pushed during my sessions is just right, it’s the right amount to motivate me and make me work hard without me feeling like I’m being barked at like your stereotypical PT in a big chain gym. Really happy with the results I am seeing & the happiest I have been with my physique in a long time, and hope to be staying for a long time!

Fantastic experience: I have been a member for just over a year now. As a person who has hopped from gym to gym over the years i have finally found my forever home! The Gaffer (Tim) has build something truely special at ETC by hiring the best coaches who not only know what they are doing (every injury i have had has been accomodated with adjustments to exercises) but are also some of the nicest people you will ever meet. And as for ALL the other members, these people are kind, encouraging, fun, understanding and every other thing that makes humanity awesome (If you dont believe me just ask about gym rule #6)! If you are looking for somewhere new to train that is completely different to anywhere else you have before which will help you create the best version of yourself inside & out give this place a go. A 30 day trial is all you need and if you dont think its the greatest place on earth you can walk away no questions asked.

Fantastic experience: Just joined and enjoying it! - Jan 23 So here's an update. Its now May and I've been attending ETC since January. The improvements I've seen and felt both physically and mentally have been more than I expected. Thank you, Tim, Jack, Allie, Ruth and Kyle, and all the guys there who have encouraged me push me on and generally been really nice people to train with.

Fantastic experience: I've trained on and off for around 10 years but took quite the hiatus during lockdown and pregnancy. I was quite sad about it and lacked the motivation to get moving again, I kind of gave up on myself. I've been with ETC for 4 months and it has changed my life for the better. I'm strong again, my endurance has improved and I finally have some fitness goals to work towards. All of this is so important to me, for my physical and mental wellbeing. The coaches are knowledgeable and supportive (check out their podcast!) and the workouts are accessible for all fitness levels. You are not competing against anyone else but yourself and your fellow members are there to lift you up when you need it. I feel challenged but in the right way, there are no egos to contend with. I'm really pleased I took the step to join and to reignite my passion and put myself first, big thanks to the Tribe and a reminder to my future self: you did this for you, go get it x

Fantastic experience: I’ve been a member of several gyms in Northampton over the years but none compare positively to this one … Coached sessions with super knowledgeable and friendly staff … all having a deep knowledge of nutritional needs and associated targets supporting your weight loss or muscle gain goals. From the first session you’ll feel welcome and part of the “Tribe” … no posing, just lots of fun and massively supportive training … does it work ? You bet it does … joined in Nov 22 … I’ve lost 4 stones in weight and 6 inches from my waist … give it a go … you won’t regret it Peter .. 61 3/4’s

Fantastic experience: I have been a member of ETC for nearly a year, having known Tim the owner for many years. Since signing up, I’ve managed to make many gains, lost plenty of weight and generally a lot happier for being a part of ETC. It really is a unique place to be!

Fantastic experience: I love ETC and my only regret is not joining sooner. ETC has the most amazingly warm and friendly environment. The classes are fun, varied and have so many time options, it really makes exercising accessible for busy lives. In addition to brilliant and varied classes, it is explained why we do, what we do, so I develop an understanding of training. The nutrition information is also fantastic, informative and eye opening. The coaching team are brilliant, friendly, supportive, encouraging and so knowledgeable. I am only in my second month, but I am so happy to be part of ETC and excited about my fitness and health journey. ETC have a very special and unique offering.

Fantastic experience: I’ve spent the last three years paying for a gym membership for a large commercial gym in the hope I’d get the courage to start going back but it never happened because I was scared. Scared of what? Scared of what others may think of me. Silly as it sounds but I have seen and heard what other say about others far many times. I saw Tim’s advert on Facebook and it gave me the stepping stone I needed. Since joining ETC I have been attending 3 times a week which is more than ever before at my previous gym! The whole ETC experience is great the coaches are great and provide feedback and help where needed and a laugh along the way and at 6am it’s what you need The team in any session are all friendly and supportive which is a great help there is no judgemental attitude. If anyone is looking for a gym where you can go and have no fear and gain personal goals or overcome a fear of exercise look no further. ETC is definitely a one of kind.

Fantastic experience: Best decision I made to join ETC… within 2 weeks of joining, my boyfriend had signed up as I was raving about it so much! Now we’ve both been a member for nearly 3 years, and still absolutely love it. The coaches are so knowledgable, friendly, caring, encouraging…. ETC has a great atmosphere, the best equipment, the best programming that gets you results, the best coaching, the best members… I can’t recommend it enough!

Fantastic experience: Honestly one of the best places to train. Whether your experienced or new there is something for everyone at all levels. A very friendly and highly skilled team of coaches. They are always on hand and can be contacted at any time. A place where you can make the best of friends, be consistent and achieve your goals. Cannot recommend ETC enough. Affiliated hyrox gym also which is a an added bonus! Always offering, not just fitness related but many social outings. You'll never feel left out or "silly" for learning new training techniques...always with a true tribe behind you cheering you on 1000% the best gym around

Fantastic experience: The absolute best training facility ever! ETC is a gym that encourages you to push yourself physically in sessions, encourages you to set yourself goals, and then provides all of the support to be able to meet those goals, and most importantly is made up of likeminded members who very quickly become friends. If you’re looking for an environment where you’ll be accepted by everyone there, and encouraged to be the best version of yourself then this is the place for you!

Fantastic experience: Well where do I start. right back to my first day of my 30 day trial, I have been made to feel welcome and part of the Crew Clean, spacious, friendly and quality equipment and a friendly training environment.. Coaching staff are brilliant, encouraging all the time, helpful and supportive.. Everyone I’ve met and trained with have made me feel welcome and also helped with any questions I’ve had and it’s great to chat over coffee at the end as well as the beginning.. I have definitely felt the benefits and feel great. It comes with hard work and maximum effort of course. I’m now starting my second full time monthly membership and will be sticking around for some time peeps !! I would recommend checking out ETC

Fantastic experience: Not your usual gym. Walk in to smiles from staff and members alike. Work out in groups with your own personal trainer. The best kit, up to date and sparkling clean. Excellent guidance and a really wholesome, friendly gym where the people you work out with will become your friends. Changed my life.

Fantastic experience: I’ve only been coming for a few weeks, but I love it. I came for the beer and pizza, stayed for the vibe and ethos. Perfect place for anyone who has found regular gyms to be lacking.

Fantastic experience: If your looking to join a gym like no other, visit ETC and experience something completely different that will change your fitness levels, body shape and mindset all together. Been with ETC for over 7 years and my body and brain thank me for it

Fantastic experience: Oh I wish I lived closer!! What a fabulous gym with amazing coaches!!

Fantastic experience: This place is so so much more than just a gym. The 3+ stone I’ve lost since April is a bonus but the main thing that’s changed since joining ETC is my brain. I have a whole network of people who support me completely and I see so much more value in myself than I did this time last year. I am a 110% stronger, happier, healthier human because of these guys ❤️

Fantastic experience: Coaches have made me feel better about myself. The have given me support, motivation and the drive to work hard at my goals through some tricky times. I have met some lovely people and everyone has been so kind, welcoming and helpful. Really supportive bunch of legends.

Fantastic experience: I've been training with ETC now for 7-months and I can honestly say it's one of the best decisions I've made. From the professional and knowledgeable approach of the coach's to the support and warmth of the fellow members they have really made the culture and atmosphere of ETC second to none. If you are considering a trial with ETC I would strongly advise that you get on and do it - you will not regret this decision !!

Fantastic experience: A brilliant functional training facility in Northampton - ETC have excellent coaches, classes and a fabulous community! Everyone is so supportive and welcoming and makes working out really fun! I would highly recommend to everyone :)

Fantastic experience: One of my best decisions ever. The support and attention to detail is phenomenal. A great deal of thought goes into planning the sessions which are small and personal. Where else could you go where the coaches know every single person's name. Whatever your goals are there is always someone experienced to help guide you, particularly through those sticky patches that we all go through. Whatever your age, ability or goals I would 100% recommend Empowerment Training Centre.

Fantastic experience: I have recently joined and it has been the best decision full stop!! Online group coaching has kept me on my toes. The coaches are very knowledgeable, so easy to get on with and all round just amazing. This gym has to have to best TRIBE in the world and I for one can't wait to train with them in person. You will not get a gym like this anywhere guaranteed! UPDATE: Training with the tribe is awesome, they are my second family! Not only the banter, but I have pushed myself to new levels and still enjoying every minute. Second update: #FINDYOURTRIBE #LOVETHEMHARD If you are not sure what you want out of a gym, ckme and try ETC, it will be the best decision you will make.

Fantastic experience: When I first joined ETC 3 years ago I left a review, but with a bit more experience of the place I thought it should be updated. Still 5 stars, would recommend. The part that most people ask - what have I lost? 30kg - brilliant. But I stayed at ETC because of what I've gained, the list for this could go on forever. I have a real sense of belonging, friendship and support. The community is like something I've never experienced both in and out of the gym. My son is also part of the youth squad and this has been life changing for him. Everyone gets behind you and you feel a real desire for others to succeed - the best cheerleaders in the world (sorry DCC). I am more than a number at ETC. I will on occasions give feedback on the sessions and I feel like this is valued, I'm never concerned about expressing an opinion to a coach. The coaches get to know you and will ensure you are challenged within your ability, gently pushing you where needed. To be clear, I am not a gym person, I've tried it but exercise aggravates me. However, ETC isn't really a gym, that's the trick. They lure you in with nice people, snacks, fun competitions, snazzy merch and banging playlists - then occasionally you'll realise that you're exercising. When I first started my coach told me that I could gradually change my habits and make exercise something that I just do in my routine, without thinking about it - I thought how very cute. But this is what has happened. I go to 4 sessions a week as part of my normal week and have attended a session for my last 3 birthdays! If you're on the fence, give it a go because what's the worst that can happen? There are some good videos on the Instagram page for reference. For great vibes come to a 5pm session

Fantastic experience: ETC is a truly unique place to train. It is full of really kind and caring people. The coaches are extremely knowledgeable and so welcoming. The quality and delivery of the sessions is excellent with so much thought put into each and every one of them. When you walk in, you know you’re walking into a room full of people who really care about YOU! I can’t recommend it enough.

Fantastic experience: Over the past few months the coach’s have helped me grow in confidence. I’m growing in to a stronger person both physically and mentally. Joining ETC has been one of the best decisions I’ve made for myself. I can honestly say I haven’t looked back since nervously walking through the door ! Everyday is a warm welcome

Fantastic experience: One thing you can guarantee at ETC is that the coaches will always by your side whether you’re a total beginner or an experienced athlete. Everybody gets the same effort and attention no matter their ability. They keep you accountable for every session and check in on you if your sessions start to slip. The service consistently goes much further than the gym and the community is second to none. Plus, we get pizza and beer on Fridays.

Fantastic experience: It’s my third week and I’ve already dropped fat and look way more sculpted. I absolutely love ETC. They clearly produce and maintain a friendly and warm environment within the gym and classes. At my old gym I felt a bit intimidated and found it challenging to find equipment that was not in use. At ETC the classes are so fun and really work. There is always equipment available and it is so easy to set up and use. The coaching is brilliant. Every coach is knowledgeable, kind, friendly and open hearted. You can really start at any level and they will help you wherever you are at on your fitness journey. I literally can’t stop talking about this place because I’m so happy here and am already seeing great results. If you are even considering it try it out, go for it. Everything is worth a try to see if it’s a good fit. I already feel so much better about myself and for the first time in my life look forward to working out. I think what they are doing at ETC is really truly special. I’ve already made some new friends and have gained a fitness family❤️

Fantastic experience: Excellent training facility with knowledgeable and friendly coaches. Fantastic sense of community and support.

Fantastic experience: Stalker studios, excellent place very nice people

Fantastic experience: This is the most amazing place. Using the word "gym" doesn't seem right. It's a family reunion twice/three times a week where you laugh, sweat and more importantly, hit those fitness goals together. The team are incredible and you will not find a finer training establishment anywhere in this country. Fact!

Fantastic experience: ETC has such a family vibe and sense of belonging. The support is incredible and they are constantly reviewing and adapting to external factors to make sure you feel that support and get the maximum out of your membership. ETC has allowed me to believe in myself & abilities again which in turn makes me a better Mum & human!

Fantastic experience: Just getting back into the swing of things after the last lockdown and happy to be training again! Great environment, superb coaches with great training programmes. They’re always on hand when you need a bit of motivation and there’s a wealth of knowledge between the gang. All you need to do is show up to the classes and the results will speak for themselves.

Fantastic experience: Been coming here for years! My favourite place, full of encouragement and friendships and great for both my physical and mental well being. The coaches are amazing, very knowledgeable and the gym itself is immaculate and welcome :)

Fantastic experience: Not just a gym. A supportive and friendly community of people all sharing a similar ethos. Highly knowledgeable coaches who programme for progress and adapt for the individual if needed. Enjoyable training sessions in a bright, clean and modern facility.

Fantastic experience: Tired of going to a gym and feeling like you're not achieving anything? This is the place for you. The coaches here really know their stuff, and will push you in ways you never thought possible. They take time to listen to you, get to know you, and encourage you every step of the way. I've learnt more in the last couple months than I did going by to a 'normal' gym for 3 years. Everyone is made to feel welcome by the coaches and members, and there's a real community there. Still wondering if this is for you? Give it a go. You won't look back! This place proves exercise really can be fun.

Fantastic experience: Everything about ETC is just fantastic! Top quality knowledge from the coaches, a great atmosphere and awesome members! It’s not your usual gym, it is so welcoming and one big family, once you join you never want to leave!

Fantastic experience: I didn't expect to be joining empowerment training centre this year, i was recommended by someone a few times and i finally went with it. THE BEST DECISION I HAVE MADE IN 2021! After following the Keto diet for months and losing a considerable amount of weight and nutrients... which resulted in me losing half of my hair! I decided it just wasn't working for me anymore and then i joined. It isn't just a gym, its a group of people who go to their session but also extends outside of the gym itself. People are friends, who give you support & advice and in general, actually care about your wellbeing as a person! I have been part of a few gyms, as a woman always feeling uncomfortable to go near the weight section not knowing what i was doing and scared all the men would laugh at me. It was intimidating and to be quite frank it was boring just jogging on the treadmill/cross-trainer when i could have run around the field for free. Yes it helped towards weight loss but was it fun? No. Being part of ETC has allowed me to open myself up to new people and make friends, it has given me the education i need to make better-informed decisions about what i want to put into my body and supported me through the last couple of months. Whenever i felt like i couldn't be bothered to go to a session for whatever reason, the hardest thing was putting on my gym clothes but as soon as that was done i was on my merry way and enjoying myself. Coming out feeling like weight has lifted from my shoulders with a smile on my face. Also i didn't know there were so many different types of trainers! Anyway, thank you Tim Reid, Jack Collins & Kyle Craig for everything you do for us, without you i wouldn't push myself to do what i do in your sessions.<3

Fantastic experience: The trainers are amazing, they remember everybody's names to say hello when we come in (no idea how they do it!) and always have a smile on their faces. They even remember our birthdays! You can get tailored advice through an individual coach that you can message, and they work with you to achieve your individual goal(s) whether it be training for something/ generally getting fitter/ eating healthier etc. The whole thing feels like a personalised experience, rather than in a gym where you may not know what to do/ how to push yourself to improve. Nobody judges you either and people are friendly and supportive. It's also nice to meet people- I moved to Northampton and did not know anybody here, so having friendly people around to chat to and train with is a bonus. You'll improve on fitness and technique and meet great people here!

Fantastic experience: This is not your normal gym! Tim, Jack & Kyle make you feel welcome and at ease as soon as you arrive. In addition to a great location and top quality equipment you get the best coaching, advice and support throughout your sessions and beyond. The advice on nutrition from the outset alongside the guided training sessions is an important factor in helping you work towards whatever your personal goals are. But it’s more than this - from your first session as a newbie you feel welcome and part of the Tribe. I never thought working out could be this enjoyable and rewarding

Fantastic experience: A place where you walk in and everyone cheers your name, because they are just happy to see your face. A training facility that makes you feel like family. Professional Coaching Staff to show you what growth really feels like, whilst being surrounded by an amazing bunch of people. Realising that you are doing this for you, but discovering along the way it's an amazing feeling when you're not doing it alone, and that is what ETC is all about. Treated like family and working out like warriors, sounds pretty good if you ask me. Phenomenal place, fantastic coaching, amazing people. 100% worth your time.

Fantastic experience: I ❤️ everything about ETC & what the guys have created. It is my happy place, even if I rock up in a bad mood 5 mins in I feel so much better. There is motivation everywhere you turn, from knowledgeable coaches who care, listen & offer great support & advice. The members are incredibly inspiring, they push & encourage each other to become the very best version of themselves. Want great results whilst having fun then don't hesitate to try for yourself.

Fantastic experience: Wow an amazing place ETC is. In these extraordinary times Tim, Jack and Kyle have made it feel like a safe fitness bubble. They have adapted to online coaching when needed. The gym itself has a great feel to it, it’s always buzzing, others are supporting and cheering people on and the coaches are giving feedback and making sure you are getting it right. An absolute diamond of a place to workout, connect with like minded people and have some fun in the pursuit of your fitness goals.

Fantastic experience: This is hands down the best training centre ever! I’m not one to go to the gym and hit the treadmill or stand in the weights section for hours at a time as I find it hard to get and stay motivated. But at ETC, the expert coaches design balanced and structured training programs that are easy to follow as they guide you through the movements and help you to improve technique and really get the most out of everything - as well as providing additional services for their member like body scans and heaps of nutrition information to help you better understand and improve your ‘relationship’ with food. On top of that, everyone who attends are just as supportive and encouraging which makes for a great atmosphere and drives the motivation to keep going and be better. If it wasn’t for ETC, I probably wouldn’t be working out at all, but I love going and always look forward to the sessions. Throughout lockdown and working through the tier system, the ETC coaches have continued to provide a top quality service, keeping us all moving and achieving our goals through online guided sessions that anyone can adapt to do at home; constantly keeping members updated throughout and always putting us, our health and safety at the forefront of everything they do. I could not recommend ETC highly enough, it will change your life for the better - it’s not a ‘normal’ gym... it’s an extended family and community of amazing people.

Fantastic experience: ETC is more than any fitness facility I know and I ve attended a few. The coaches and their ethos of encouraging you to believe in yourself and to support, encourage and empower those around you to do the same creates an incredible feeling and buzz. An environment that not only sees you test yourself physically every single session but also a team to mentally support you through the good and bad times in life and guarantee of a coach to greet you at the door with a massive welcoming smile reminding you that you belong and matter. Cannot imagine my life without the 'Tribe'. ETC is amazing.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been a member of ETC for over a year now. It’s the best decision I’ve ever made in relation to my health & fitness. I didn’t think I’d actually ever look forward to exercising but I really do now! I’ve seen results I never thought I would & met the most inspiring & wonderful people. All of this alongside a very busy life where my health & fitness generally come right down the pecking order because of hectic work & family commitments but I’ve still managed to achieve these wonderful things. The Coaches are absolutely incredible - their knowledge & support are second to none. The best more-than-a-gym.
