emPower Family,
I wanted to take a moment to touch base with all of you regarding the current situation and give you a bit of a status update.
As you know the Governor has extended the stay at home order until May 8th. Even after May 8th many business restrictions will remain in place. So far the only business changes announced were some construction projects with strict regulations. No specific guidelines/dates for our business type have been announced. However, the 3-step re-opening plan released this week by the White House includes small gym businesses such as ours in the 1st stage of re-opening. This means that once the first stage is enacted, we will be able to open our doors!
BUT, there will be certain restrictions and we will be enacting several precautionary measures to keep you all safe and healthy. Those restrictions and measures during the 1st stage include but are not limited to the following:
- - Groups of no more than 10
- * Personal training will be limited to 6 clients per hour. (Coaches will invite you in when the previous clients leave)
- * Proper social distancing will be observed by clients and coaches
- - Group exercise will continue to be online and/or outdoors
- - Open gym will only be available from 11am-2pm Monday-Friday (first come first serve max of 6)
The following will be standard operation procedure for the duration of the re-opening period (all stages):
- - We ask that any client/staff member that may have come in contact with the virus or traveled outside of the country or to any high risk area not come to emPower for at least 14 days.
- - Our staff will check your temperature with a forehead thermometer upon entering. Anyone with a temperature above 99.6 will be asked to leave.
- - All clients and staff must wash/sanitize their hands immediately upon entering and exiting the facility.
- - All equipment must be wiped down by clients as soon as they are finished with it (not at the end of the workout)
- - Our facility will cleaned multiple times per day.
- - We will continue to offer the online (TrueCoach/Zoom) coaching platform for the foreseeable future. Clients will have the choice of coming in, working out from home, or a combo of the two.
We are excited to re-open... but we also want to do what is best for everyone. We consider ourselves part of the continuum of care in the healthcare realm, and as such will not make any moves that would jeopardize the health of our clients, staff or community. So we will be implementing these things when we are allowed to re-open... whenever that may be. We fully intend to wait for instruction and authorization from our state and national leadership. In the meantime we will continue to offer great online content to keep you on track with your goals. Do not hesitate to reach out to me if you have any questions or concerns. My personal contact info is march.josh@gmail.com or (717) 330-0226 (cell - call or text).
I hope that all of you and your families are well. These are trying times... and it can take a toll on even the strongest of us. But know that we are in this together. We are blessed with an amazing community of people at emPower - a family. Do not hesitate to reach out to others on our empower Community Page. This is YOUR page. Take advantage of the great support system here. I am thankful for all of you and I am praying for you. emPower is strong and so are it's people. We will be back! We just don't know when.
Be healthy and God bless,
Josh March

“First off emPOWER is so much more than a gym, it’s more of a family that you can’t wait to see at 5am. The coach’s infectious positivity is what you need at 5am in the morning! I started training with emPower with an idea to lose some fat around my middle and generally tone up. What I achieved with emPOWER’s help was far more than this! Using kettlebells, dumbbells, and various bodyweight exercises, my overall strength and fitness improved so much in a short amount of time. I was able to perform exercises I would never have attempted on my own. Each workout is tailored to you, so you can achieve exactly what you have discussed. The SHRED/SPARTA classes are interesting, ever changing, and challenging. The instructors are energetic, knowledgeable and somehow find the balance between encouraging you to work hard but never going over the line where injuries can occur. “Challenge brings change” is a motto they live by. Let me tell you that these coaches have created something serious, I’ve been struggling for years with back pain until now. I thought my lower back would be my “Achilles’ heel” forever. Until you do the work, it is hard to understand how strong you can become through body-weight training. Not only am I in the best shape of my life, but my body moves and feels completely different. Literally two minutes into the exercises I realized something special was going on here and I feel stronger in everything I do. I have learned so much from emPower, the coaches are willing to share their expert knowledge and answer any questions you come up with. The coach’s tips on nutrition are excellent and the focus/dedication is clear part of emPOWERs success. The coaches are energetic, fun, committed and inspirational…and I can’t recommend emPOWER enough! It’s been almost a year after coming to emPOWER, and I’m still training hard and have no intention of quitting any time soon. The coaches have given me not only direction in the gym but a completely different perspective on fitness and health.” |

The trainers at emPower have taken accountability to a new level and have created a supportive gym environment that encourages change to occur from the very first exercise. This accountability is paramount to my success and I appreciate it more than you’ll ever know. Since starting Shred in February, followed by Shred 2, I have come to realize that transforming my body actually started with the transformation of my mind. I was able to see clearly that the ‘I can’t’ and the ‘I don’t have time’ were roadblocks to my success. By seeing small glimpses of progress(like push ups on my toes), I was able to persevere even when my body disagreed. Throughout Shred, Mike and Omar pushed me to new levels, levels in which I would have previously said ‘I cant’ because I didn’t believe in myself. Mike never gave up on me, he kept encouraging me to go further, but most of all.... he BELIEVED in me, which inspired me to believe in myself. By renewing my mindset, believing in myself and realizing my body’s ability to change, I have been able to make small changes that have influenced more a dynamic shift in my outlook on life. You have created a gym atmosphere that not only encourages physical fitness but inspires members to believe in themselves and their God-given ability. I am proud to be a part of this great group of people. Thank you for your encouragement and accountability |
