The classes they run
“This way kids are guaranteed to get their workouts a few times a week while you are at work, and it doesn't cut into your evening and into family time.”
“I'm a beginner, very out of shape and overweight and I'm excited to come to class every week (which is saying something because I hate working out).”

Great atmosphere, great teachers. Very convenient afterschool program, with a van pick up from area schools, taekwondo lesson while in afterschool, homework time, etc. This way kids are guaranteed to get their workouts a few times a week while you are at work, and it doesn't cut into your evening and into family time.
Our child has attended Empower for several years, since its inception. The instructors are excellent, and it has been a fantastic experience. We have tried several local schools, and I cannot recommend Empower enough.
I am a student here and I recommend this place if you want to look for a place to learn how to defend yourself I just wish their sparring gear was a little breathable and seeable then other than that 10/10
New to kickboxing? Start at Empower Martial Arts
Empower Martial Arts comes up as a beginner-friendly gym — noted on their own site. If you've never thrown a punch or a kick, that's exactly who a good beginners class is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit or coordinated to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and coaches scale every drill to you. Second, you won't be thrown into hard sparring — reputable gyms build the basics (stance, footwork, and punches and kicks on pads and bags) first, and any contact eases in gradually under a coach's control. Third, all fitness levels really are welcome — ask about a dedicated beginners or fundamentals class time so your first session is alongside others who are also starting out. Most gyms are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.
Your first kickboxing class at Empower Martial Arts
Nervous about walking into a kickboxing gym for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good coaches expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling the basics — stance, footwork, and punches and kicks on pads or a heavy bag — not hard sparring. Go at your own pace and rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: comfortable athletic clothes you can move and sweat in, and supportive trainers. What to bring: water, and hand wraps and gloves if you have them — many gyms lend loaner gloves for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gloves and wraps (and shin guards once you start sparring). Sparring is optional and eases in gradually, once your basics are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the coach. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
