Empower Fitness Training – The Best Kept Secret In Visalia
Are you looking for Client Testimonials?
“I, like the majority of adults reading this, am over-weight. Some of us are a little over, some a lot. We are called plump, or jovial, or fat or obese and by any name we are not happy about the label or the condition.
I have created all sorts of excuses on why I go on this way. I bet you invented some new ones as well. I work in an office, I travel a lot, I am stressed, I do not have enough time to exercise, I am forced to eat too much junk food, I have to take care of the children, and well, just add your own. We are good are finding the excuses but find it so hard to do something about it.
We are a society based on instant gratification. I will admit to trying all of the following as the cures to being over-weight. The LA 48 Hour Diet, South Beach Diet, Nutri-systems, Atkins Diet, Hydroxycut, Wu Tea, Lean Cuisine, Hoodia, Green Tea, and on and on. All a quick flash, none survived more than a few weeks because most simply to not work. The reality is simple. To lose weight, calories out have to be more than calories in, and no exercise, no weight loss, no muscle tone. Oh, alright, I will also admit I tried abdominal liposuction. Worked for a few years and then it really made things worse. The premise of a limited number of fat cells in the body turns out to be utter nonsense and I am the living proof.
I live in Visalia so I tried a few gyms. By far the best equipped was Lifestyles. It was too busy for me and the trainers had no clue what a 50+ year old body is all about. They all think we want to look like Arnold used to look like. Terminate this buddy, I left. I have absolutely no desire to look like that, never have, never will.
After years of certified failures, I finally found a real solution, the real deal. No, not some million dollar facility with beautiful bodies in tights running around making you feel like you will never get there, and no not an expensive place with trainers who are clueless. After decades of trying, I found Empower Fitness Training. You know the name says it all. A place to Empower you to succeed in your struggles. A place to laugh, exercise, lose weight, get tone and grow muscle in a small personal environment that nurtures, not judges, encourages and makes a struggle into something fun. When I cannot go because of business travel I actually miss it. Never had that before in all the places I have tried.
So, what’s so special? First, kiss off the word diet. Diets don’t work. Instead they create for you a reasonable food plan to give energy while you lose. Next, kiss off doing huge metal weights. Why? Wanna get hurt dummy? No, instead, low weights and strive for form, control, and finding muscle groups that you thought you never had. Want to impress some one? Go to another gym. Wanna look like Arnold, well you can if you insist but find a new motto. The other places around here are “No pain, no gain”. At Empower, it’s “Pain?….No brain”. Think about it. You’ll get it.
The personal trainer at Empower Fitness Training knows bodies, limits, psychology, positive energy, encouragement and customizes your program not only day to day but even during the workout, sensing what you have left and what you need to do. He is not obsessed with fat and muscle and weight every day, rather, longer term goals in time frames of months. Enjoy life, Empower yourself, feel younger, and before you know it, real results.
For the first time in a decade I find myself leaving a gym smiling, not wincing. I find in others there, mutual encouragement and friendly people who struggle like I do, but now, in a way that is fun and positive. The results become a natural by-product not the goal. Ironically, of anywhere I have been, Empower is really a change in lifestyle that slowly just becomes a part of your daily life.
We have all seen the Before and After photos everyone focuses on these days. Shows like Greatest Loser are popular. But I submit to all out there who struggle like I do, that the real measure of success is not measured in pounds, but in smiles, and a change in attitude and lifestyle and joy.
If you wanna look like Arnold used to, go to another place. If you wish joy, smiles, feeling Empowered and encouraged, try something radically new, the best kept secret in Visalia. It’s called Empower. Try it. What it has done for me and my 59 year old body, is a revolutionary change, not founded in false promises, not in instant gratification, but based on a life time of gratification. I’m hooked and frankly just overjoyed.
Next time you order some useless product on the internet, next time you watch an ad with the dramatic before and after shots you’ll never achieve with a quick fix, remember a little place in Visalia is working those miracles every day. See you there.”
