01The method
Eight weeks. Then we test it.
- 01
Programmed
Training runs in 8-week programme blocks written by Marni, our owner and head coach.
- 02
Coached
Each session is small group personal training: a coach with you, the plan done for you, weights scaled to you.
- 03
Tested
Every block ends in PB week, when you test your lifts and ring the bell for every personal best.
- 04
Renewed
Then a new block starts, so it never gets boring.


02More than the hour
Strength is built in the kitchen and the group chat too.
- Nutrition coaching
- Coaching that helps you change your relationship with food, not just count it.
- Check-ins
- Regular check-ins to keep you on track.
- Zoom calls & deep dives
- Regular Zoom calls, and a monthly deep dive into a topic the group chooses.
I've had gym memberships, personal trainers, tried online coaching. Not stuck with any of it… I can say without hesitation that joining Empoweredls12 is the best thing I've done for my health.
03The studio
A private gym, just for women.
Pink walls, green racks, a turf track and a lounge to catch your breath.
