I haven’t been to this location yet so my review is based solely off of knowing the owner Darien. I have known Darien for a while now and he is consistently trying to better himself and the people around him. He strives to help people through physical fitness. He has offered me help and invited me to boxing trainings on many occasions. The gym is smaller and because of that they are can build better relationships with their clients and there isn’t many gyms, it seems, with an owner like Darien who seems to genuinely care. Would highly recommend.

We have been taking our son to boxing with Darrin for 2 years and it is great. Darrin cares about his students all around not just running them through class. He makes it fun, teaches them technique, and teaches them to be well rounded, good kids. We highly recommend any of their classes.

This gym is so much more than a gym! The community and family that I have gained from the people here, both the owners, coaches, and other gym-goers has been amazing. I am in the best shape of my life, and absolutely look forward to every day I get to work out there. I would absolutely recommend for anyone who is looking to get started with exercise, or people who have been going for awhile and are wanting more.

Darien with Empower Fitness has been a coach like no other personal trainer could be. He has taken training with me at a pace that I could maintain with no prior experience, yet still managed to challenge me at a level that constantly pressed me for improvement and self motivation. As a side note, the pricing for this gym is extremely competitive compared to block chain gyms. I've recommended numerous people, and will continue to do so for personal health, and mental health.

My pre teen son has been doing the boxing class with Darrin for a few years now and it has been great. The class is very affordable, and has classes almost everyday so it fits our schedules easily. Darrin has been a very fun and engaging teacher while helping students to grow and challenge themselves. It has been a great program and gym.
