Empowered Fitness

Fantastic experience: Highly recommended, I love boot camp, great couches, very encouraging, since I've started a year ago, I love to exercise

Fantastic experience: Absolutely adore this place. The staff are so understanding and helpful. I have a lot of medical needs and they were wonderful when it came to these. The place is clean and safe and the almost family feel is head and shoulders above the rest! I actually LIKED exercising which is something I usually do not!

Fantastic experience: Hello. I happened across Empowered fitness after an operation, that took my womb and some cancer with it. I was suffering mentally and physically after a couple of years of menopause and threat of diabetes, and then the operation.... so I enrolled for 6 weeks. I am a Muslim woman so normal gyms were not ideal for me, and the over 40s, women only clientele was a real blessing. I am just finishing up my 6th week and have noticed many improvements in my joints and strength and mental health. The trainers, office staff are members are really friendly, welcoming and helpful. I had a week off for sickness and they allowed me to make up that week without any extra cost. I am unable to stay on sadly because of financial insecurity but I hope that this experience has given me the boost I needed to continue my training and fitness independently. I can recommend this gym very highly as the environment is perfect, quiet, comfortable and supportive. It would be nice if there were more women trainers but as it is, they are professional and allow you to go at your own pace, offering personalised programmes with alot of encouragement and nutrition advice aswell. I am really pleased I was able to access this help and will miss attending the classes.

Fantastic experience: Very good team of people..nothing too much trouble. Felt comfortable in the groups and everyone is encouraging. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Joined 6 weeks ago, best experience that I have had at a gym, everything is tailored to you, non judgmental whatever point you are starting from. Instructors very patient!

Fantastic experience: Excellent. I have been so impressed by the whole experience at Empowered Fitness especially as someone who would never have set foot in a gym before!

Fantastic experience: Nice, fun and easy to follow work outs. The trainers listen and adapt the exercises to the needs and issues to each trainee and they make sure that we are making the most of each session. Friendly atmosphere, never feels like a competition.

Fantastic experience: Just brilliant! It’s like a little family at Empowered Fitness. I predominantly wanted to lose weight but now i just want to be strong and healthy and the rest will come over time. I hated the gym but as this is a women only for over 40s is just perfect. Thank you for helping to continue to grow my confidence and fitness

Fantastic experience: I started on the 4 week taster course thinking I would learn what to do then join a cheaper gym. Nearly 2 years later I am still here due to the level of care and expertise. After an illness they took me back to basics and started me on my progress back to where I was. The care and support has been second to none from Matt, Oli and Vittoria. I really recommend Empowered if you are looking for a gym that knows you and your name!

Fantastic experience: Great guidance from very helpful and experienced staff! Small groups which means staff can be more attentive and personalise your needs. Started on fairly light weights but my strength and fitness improved pretty quickly. Very happy with the support and advice I received.

Fantastic experience: Great class Oli…. Challenging but fun!

Fantastic experience: 4 weeks in and loving it! Such a nurturing and positive gym!

Fantastic experience: Normally I'm not one to enjoy the gym, but after seeing the advert for it I thought I would give it a shot. I now have a new appreciation for it as it has been made so easy for me. The program is set out for me, and if I'm struggling with something I'm given an alternative until I can try it again. Both Oli and Matt are great teachers and I would thoroughly recommend them.

Fantastic experience: Fab, personalised, friendly training ⭐️

Fantastic experience: I’ve only been at Empowered Fitness on the 6 week starter course since mid November and have previously HATED gyms but this place is different ! I actually look forward to going and seeing the other ladies and instructors! Oli & the other instructors are so understanding but also encouraging and motivational ! It’s made me think more about my health and fitness and my kids are proud of me which means a lot ! I’m also proud of me now too, thanks to Oli and the team.

Fantastic experience: Joining the gym is one of the best decision I have made. It is really supportive gym and all the coaches tailor the programmes to your individual needs. Oli makes the session fun and so it goes really quickly!

Fantastic experience: Really good session tonight. All the exercises well explained. Lifted weights over my head which was really challenging but pleased I did it.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been enjoying training at Empowered Fitness for the last few months and would definitely recommend it. The instructors are friendly and encouraging in a non pushy way and are great at checking form and posture when lifting weights or squatting to prevent injury. They tailor exercises to suit all abilities and work around any existing injuries or niggles by making adaptations or giving alternative exercises. In just these few months I have noticed I’m looking leaner and feeling stronger and more confident in my abilities. Thank you Matt, Oli and the rest of the Team.

Fantastic experience: This is such a good place to workout - loads of encouragement, no judgement and fab trainers too!

Fantastic experience: Great classes. Lovely instructors.

Fantastic experience: Empowered Fitness is amazing. Good service with friendly staff and good equipment. A great place to workout. I definitely recommend them to anyone over 40 who wants to get in shape.

Fantastic experience: My experience over the last 6 weeks has been fabulous! It's raised my awareness of diet, drinking more water, and got me moving! It was a big deal for me to step out of my comfort zone and come to a gym...it's been better than I could have expected. I have done group sessions led by Matt and Vittoria and they are amazing trainers! They encourage, support and I feel like they're really keyed into each person, and what they need. The sessions are challenging, varied and fun (did I actually say that!!) I've had days where I've had to make myself get up early in the morning to attend, but its been SO worth it; I leave feeling stronger and with more energy! And it's great exercising in a group, more motivating, and everyone's really friendly. I cannot recommend Empowered Fitness too highly; what a professional, and lovely bunch of people you are!

Fantastic experience: I've found Empowered Fitness really works for me. Their practical, friendly approach has helped me enormously. I never thought I'd enjoy weight training but it's been a real eye-opener - I not only love it but I've seen more improvement in my body than from any other form of exercise. I'm normally a lone exerciser but I love working out with the other clients - it's really supportive, non-competitive and non-judgemental.

Fantastic experience: Great place to workout, friendly trainers, lovely welcoming atmosphere, all the ladies I have met have been encouraging and supportive would definitely recommend

Fantastic experience: Brilliant gym, I absolutely love going there. All the trainers are great

Fantastic experience: Great gym with a warm and welcoming atmosphere. I initially joined for a 6 week programme and enjoyed it so much I have extended my membership!

Fantastic experience: Thanks for the making the first 12 weeks of my fitness journey safe and enjoyable. Couldn’t have done it without all your encouragement. Thanks Ollie, Vittoria and Matt

Fantastic experience: Lovely gym, friendly and so supportive. Most of my sessions are with Oli;he’s great at adapting the routines for my level of fitness

Fantastic experience: Really enjoy training here and have seen definite improvements to my fitness! I do classes mainly with Oli and some with Victoria but the whole team is great and very supportive.

Fantastic experience: Great class run by Ollie today. Really energised afterwards.

Fantastic experience: Just done a workout with Oli. Superb trainer. Takes everyone's needs into account. A good paced, challenging session. Would 100% recommend this gym.

Fantastic experience: Started at empowered in January and loving it! It's great to have got into the routine of building strength and Oli and all the team have been fab. Can't it recommend more!

Fantastic experience: This is a little gem of a gym. It’s the most consistent I’ve ever attended. It’s saved my mental health this past year and my physical strength is increasing all the time thanks to instructors Oli, Matt and Vittoria. They give you the confidence to push yourself with weights as they ensure your technique is always correct. The restrictive shoulder pain I was suffering has been rehabilitated through exercise and I can honestly say it’s a pleasure to train with the other friendly members that I’ve met here.

Fantastic experience: At 56 years of age (and having never exercised before) I decided I needed to join a gym and start some strength training. The trainers are so welcoming and you get an individualised training programme for every session. If you had told me I would still be here 5 months later I wouldn't have believed you. I can thoroughly recommend Empowered Fitness.

Fantastic experience: Great session at Empowered Fitness this morning with Oli , I joined EF in November and have really benefited from the training- I’m feeling much stronger & confident . I’m training for London Marathon and the strength and conditioning has been a really beneficial part of the journey. Thanks Matt & Oli for the ongoing advice & input .

Fantastic experience: Friendly trainers and office admin, it does what it says - empowered fitness. Thank you

Fantastic experience: Great friendly gym, Ollie is fab

Fantastic experience: I have loved my trial month with empowered fitness and feel stronger already. I am a complete gym phobic but decided to give this a try after a friend suggested it. I’m so pleased that I did - I have never experienced anywhere like this. The semi private sessions are brilliant - Oli is just a fantastic trainer. I feel like I can trust him to make me push myself but within a safe space where I won’t cause my, very under used and unfit, body any harm! If you’re looking for a space to find out what you are really capable of then try these guys. I have completed my trial and will signing up for a 12 month membership- I’m excited to see what I’ll be able to achieve by the end of that year

Fantastic experience: A really friendly and supportive gym run by a great team. Matt and Oli have given me a renewed enthusiasm for exercise and I look forward to each training session. The small group training works really well and my physical and mental fitness has improved significantly even after just a couple months.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been training here for 7 months and have significantly improved my strength and fitness - losing weight and dropping a dress size has been a bonus! Matt set me up with a programme that has been transformative and helped me change my diet. Oli and Vittoria every week have encouraged me to stretch myself and strive for further improvement. This is a gym that is friendly and not intimidating. Small group work means you get lots of support and guidance. Highly recommend

Fantastic experience: I’ve been attending Empowred fitness for 2 months, it’s been the kick start I needed to get back into fitness, Matt did my assessment helped me work out where I wanted to get, then Oli has trained me, he’s brilliant, patient but pushed me enough so I have seen a different in my shape and fitness already, great assets to the team. Thanks

Fantastic experience: Matt and the team are dedicated and committed to help women like me to achieve their fitness goals. I cannot recommend them highly enough. After just 12 weeks I feel much more alive, in far better shape and managed to strengthen my core muscles thereby ridding my back of its continuous ache once and for all. The booking system is so easy and allows you to cancel just two hours before a class. I actually enjoy going too, which is a first!

Fantastic experience: I have attended Empowered Fitness for over a year now and it's been a wonderful experience. The gym has a personal and friendly feel, which I haven't found elsewhere and ultimately I feel as though I can be myself. The trainers are excellent, big shout out to Matt, Greg and Max. My strength and fitness has massively improved, especially under Greg's guidance who's my main trainer. Would highly recommend if you are looking for a gym but want something with a community feel and yet still really impactful. Thank you E-Fit team

Fantastic experience: This is the best gym ever! I love the camaraderie in small group training (never any more than four people in a session). Programmes are varied and change every six weeks, so there is no chance of ever getting bored with your PT regime. The trainers are focused, supportive, interested and great fun to work with. The gym is incredibly friendly and welcoming. It’s a safe place where everybody knows your name. I don’t believe there’s any other gym like it. It’s unique and I love it. Oh - and I’m not normally big on gyms!

Fantastic experience: Joining Empowered fitness has been really great. The trainers are really friendly and encouraging. I really look forward to the sessions. I never imagined myself joining a gym but I love it. I feel empowered!

Fantastic experience: Empowered fitness is a welcoming, friendly and inclusive training community. Small group classes enable members to work out at their own level and allow the trainers to tailor exercises to the individual’s personal needs. Since becoming a member nearly 5 years ago, I have benefited from a huge improvement in my physical and mental well-being. I would strongly recommend giving it a go, particularly if the standard gym experience is not for you. You’ll never look back!

Fantastic experience: Feeling well worked out today from a personal training session with Olly, who gave me several tips on how to tweak my stance and where to place my attention on some of the heavier moves today. Empowered Fitness has been a life changing place for me where I’m learning how to keep growing and improving my strength. Thank you.

Fantastic experience: Finally, a gym where I don’t feel intimidated! Really like the approach which is a mix of personalised workouts and group training within a session. Convivial atmosphere. Great to train alongside a diverse range of women at different stages of their lives and training journeys. Great trainers who are friendly and encouraging. Inspiring environment.

Fantastic experience: Very professional, friendly and tailored to me re individual needs. Can’t speak highly enough of them. Max, Matt and Greg, thankyou

Fantastic experience: Hi there, the external door has been locked by the last person to leave the gym & a cleaner that was in BIGG upstairs has been locked inside the building.

Fantastic experience: Great Gym - Lovely trainers offering genuine support and guidance. Small , but perfectly formed, well equipped space and the schedule is flexible.

Fantastic experience: I joined Empowered Fitness in Sept 2019 when I was clinically overweight, pre diabetic again (was diagnosed as type II diabetic several years ago) and suffering from metabolic syndrome. Amy and my personal trainer Matt, focussed on my goals, devised bespoke training programmes which changed every few weeks and tweaked my eating habits. It’s wonderful training with a small group of other women on the same journey and learning all the proper weight lifting techniques from trainers who are so encouraging. I have grown to absolutely love weight lifting, especially the barbell. There is a lot of accountability at Empowered Fitness and new suggestions if you find yourself hitting a brick wall. 18 months on and my type II diabetes is completely in remission, my HbA1C level dropped by 7 units (which my GP surgery said was an incredible achievement) and my weight is now clinically within the normal range. I can’t thank Amy, Matt and the rest of the team enough for totally changing my outlook towards exercise. I now feel fantastic and so much stronger.

Fantastic experience: Very friendly and efficient

Fantastic experience: This is a very friendly and supportive gym where the trainers really help you to get the most out of your sessions. The majority of the members are women like me : 40+, not necessarily used to being in a gym, are all shapes and sizes and there because they want to make a positive difference to their long term health and well-being. I’m definitely no gym bunny and my knees aren’t able to manage burpees! However, I’d absolutely recommend Empowered Fitness as they’ll help you find an exercise regime which works for you.

Fantastic experience: Quite simply the best boutique gym in Bristol. The personal trainers are committed to helping you reach your fitness goals, the other members of the gym are all really friendly and supportive and it's a safe, clean and comfortable space. Highly recommended

Fantastic experience: As well as feeling stronger and healthier than ever, I’ve also learned so much from this fabulous team about nutrition, self care and loving myself as I am!! And I love those little extras - no longer needing to tuck my tummy into my trousers, bingo wings are on the way out and I no longer feel guilty for eating the wrong stuff - because there is no wrong stuff!! Empowered Fitness is a fabulous place to fall back in love with yourself and your body!

Fantastic experience: Love this place. Have been supported and led through a brilliant training programme and is is life changing. Don’t hesitate to call them if you need a way to lose fat and change your life.

Fantastic experience: Excellent personalised training and health advice. Friendly yet professional.

Fantastic experience: Great training studio with great trainers and friendly atmosphere, plenty of variety in approach and methods very much recommend !!!!!

Fantastic experience: Amazing trainers who are as knowledgeable about health and fitness as they come! Great place to train in a friendly and supportive but still challenging environment.

Fantastic experience: Brilliant trainers who encourage you every step of the way!

Negative experience: Spent a lot of money here stuck to everything and gained a lot of weight they said it was muscle but with a lot of weight to lose was no help and there was no help or solutions offered just an offer for me to pay more money !

Fantastic experience: This is a fab little gym with great, friendly and knowledgeable staff plus a lovely community feel. I didn't have much of an idea about how to lift weights - and do so safely - before I trained with them and it's amazing what it does for your weight, body shape and overall health. Thanks guys!

Fantastic experience: Before I started my personal training sessions at Empowered Fitness, I didn't know how to lift weights properly or realise what a great impact it would have on my body shape. Thanks to Amy at Empowered Fitness - I know what to do and she ensures I do it right!

Fantastic experience: Great trainers, really know what they are on about. Really make it a personal, friendly experiance.

Fantastic experience: I started with Amy and the team in early May after a few years of struggling to get motivated to lose weight and get fit after having two children. Nothing has really worked until I started with these guys. Their programme of semi private classes, one on one attention and care in terms of goals, nutrition and my fitness has really paid off. For the first time I've seen consistent weight loss, a change in my eating habits which is sustainable and most importantly I have fun doing it. The sessions are tough but brilliant and easy to fit round my busy life. And the other resources such as YouTube videos and online planner make it really easy to carry on at home. Attention to detail is key and these guys really make it personal. I enjoy my session and am seein great results. Can't wait to see the new gym.

Fantastic experience: I love Empowered Fitness - great trainers, great environment and great attitude towards weight loss. Couldn't recommend enough!

Fantastic experience: The team at Empowered Fitness are supportive, encouraging and understanding and impart their knowledge of exercise and nutrition without being unapproachable or patronising. Amy and her team are somehow able to make exercise fun - and that's coming from someone who never thought she’d say that. I’d advise anyone considering making contact with EF to put any doubts to the back of your mind and take the jump– you'll be amazed at what you're capable of with the right support and guidance!

Fantastic experience: I absolutely love my sessions at Empowered Fitness. I feel there is a very strong emphasis on adding the personal touch to the service that Amy provides. Not only are you getting stronger, fitter, leaner and more confident through the training fitness programmes you are also following a nutrition plan devised for you. Amy's approach ensure that all aspects of your life are considered in order to achieve the best possible results. I am achieving my goals with my fitness and nutrition and have never felt better. I am a jean size smaller all thanks to the fabulous training and nutrition plan. I am so glad I have committed to ongoing training with Empowered Fitness. A huge thank you!!

Fantastic experience: Excellent Personal Training sessions. Amy listens to your goals and gets you there in an friendly, professional and super sweaty approach. Thoroughly enjoy my sessions and I am constantly improving at my goals.

Fantastic experience: Working with Amy has helped to transform my life. Not only am I fitter, stronger, leaner & a whole jean size smaller, I have more consistent energy & focus. My knowledge about diet & nutrition has elevated & I have a greater understanding of what my body needs & when, to stay fuelled up in the right way. My weekly sessions are much more than simply sweating for an hour, they reflect how I approach life & how I feel about myself. I leave feeling confident, strong & able to tackle anything. For anyone thats unsure about stepping into one on one training; DO IT ! Empowered Fitness do exactly this. Empower you to be the best you, you can be ! You wont have a single regret.
