Nutrition & Lifestyle Coaching
Nutrition and Lifestyle Coaching for
Every Body
Whether you've already made positive steps forward in your wellness journey—or feel like you've tried everything with little success—we'll meet you where you're at.
Making positive, consistent, and longterm changes to your lifestyle isn't easy.
It's hard to know where to start given all the conflicting advice out there. And when you do take positive steps—like exercising or changing your diet—you may not get the results you want and lose motivation.
Or maybe you've already established a good workout routine, but you can't seem to shed weight around your midsection or you feel exhausted all the time—and you wonder if your lifestyle and eating habits are the culprit.
At Empower, we know that making impactful and enduring changes to our lifestyles is possible—we see it every day!
But for positive changes to stick, they need to be tailored to YOU. No templates. No one-size-fits-all recommendations.
If you want to change your lifestyle for the better and are willing to approach it with an open mind, we invite you to check out our nutrition and lifestyle coaching programs.

If you're consistently working hard at the gym but have reached a plateau in your results—such as struggling to trim your waistline or maintain your energy levels throughout the day—then this one-to-one nutrition and lifestyle session is for you.
We'll start with a body composition test at the Empower gym to get a measurable, accurate assessment of where your body is at in terms of lean muscle and fat mass.
Coach Amy will then review the results with you over Zoom (in the privacy of your own home) to discuss your goals and habits and start to uncover what might be holding you back.
You'll walk away with do-able recommendations that you can use to uplevel your gym performance and have you looking and feeling better. Even small changes can yield big results!

Included in all our nutrition and lifestyle coaching programs
Real, measurable results with body composition analysis
Weight and body mass index (BMI) are common measures that people use to track their path to better health. There's only one problem: they're wildly inadequate and often misleading.
At Empower, we use a bioelectric body composition analyzer to measure how much lean mass and body fat mass you have.
In just 15 seconds, these devices will generate a detailed report of your muscle, fat, and water values, including lean mass and fat values in different segments of your body. All you have to do is stand on the device and hold the electrodes.
Your coach will walk through the report with you and use it as a guide to develop and refine your nutrition and/or exercise program to put you closer to your health and fitness goals. You'll get your own copy that you can keep as a benchmark of your body composition at that moment in time.
We incorporate bioelectric body composition tests into all of our nutrition and lifestyle coaching programs. They can also be purchased separately—no membership required.

Spice Talks About Her Experience of Coaching at Empower
A love letter to our Empower coaches... from Salsa
I have huge respect for our Empower coaches.
And I'm not just saying that in hopes they'll go easy on me in the gym.
Their ability to discern what is needed for a class or individual member (whether instructions, explanations, encouragement, or a stern "squat lower!") amazes me.
I also admire their ability to crack (and take) a joke to keep the mood light, and their humility in readily admitting when they can't demo a movement exactly or immediately answer a question.
And while every coach has their own style, the overall vibe is always, "We're all in this together—so let's have fun doing it!"
As a community, we talk a lot about how your time at Empower should be the best part of your day. And our coaches play a HUGE role in making that a reality.
What does it take to become a coach at Empower?
Given the praise above, you might think you need to be some kind of unicorn athletic guru to become an Empower coach.
But no. You don't have to be born with a superhuman kipping pull-up or the ability to perform double-unders for days.
You don't even need past experience as a lifting coach for the Bulgarian Olympic team.
What you do need is a willingness to learn (i.e. coachability) and a commitment to helping others become the best versions of themselves.
And if you're already part of the Empower community, then all the better — since you know what we're all about.
This isn't to say that coaching at Empower is an entirely selfless act either.
As an Empower coach, you'll become part of our coaching team, with all the camaraderie, support, and training that comes with it. You'll also further your own fitness practice by deepening your understanding of CrossFit movements and witnessing the setbacks, challenges and personal bests of others.
But don't take my word for it.
