Nutrition and Lifestyle Coaching for
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.
In this one-hour nutrition and lifestyle counselling session, Coach Amy will talk with you about your wellness and lifestyle goals in a warm, caring, and non-judgemental environment over Zoom, in the privacy of your own home.
She'll also arrange for you to come into the gym for a body composition analysis (optional) to accurately assess where you're body is at.
Based on this conversation and analysis, Amy will design personalized lifestyle and nutrition strategies that are built specifically for YOU, taking into account your body, goals, and life commitments.
And you can start to implement those strategies immediately!
You can book multiple 1-to-1 nutrition and lifestyle counselling sessions over time to track your progress, update your plan, and stay accountable to your goals. Alternatively, you may choose to sign up for our 3-month "Stay With It" nutrition and lifestyle counselling program.
No membership required. Sign up anytime.
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!

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.

Why Elev8? Whether you have an athlete in off-season, pre-season, regular season, post-season or club and special leagues, your athlete can benefit from our cross training, injury prevention and mobility exercises.

Here at Empower we focus on creating good balance and strength through the core, hip, knees, ankles and shoulders. We take injury prevention very seriously and want our athletes to stay healthy and free of any setbacks in their sport.
