emPOWer Lansing

Fantastic experience: Great, friendly welcoming environment for an awesome workout with a knowledgeable instructor

Fantastic experience: I went to my first class tonight and had so much fun! My butt got kicked but it was a good time and a good workout! Everyone was so nice! I’ll be back soon ♥️

Fantastic experience: This gym truly cares about their customers, they will make sure that you are comfortable and pushing yourself to your best ability. The trainers are encouraging and helpful, and the classes are short and fun, you will be sweating in 30 minutes! I highly recommend this place if you are looking for a gym with a great environment!

Fantastic experience: Place was awesome! Expanding to add a weight room. Clean and friendly atmosphere but not for the faint of heart - intense workouts! Was in from out of town and had a blast, first class was free which was great. Check em out!

Fantastic experience: When I walked in for the first time, I was intimidated and not sure if boxing is the right thing for me. But that quickly went away cuz everyone’s so supportive and I immediately felt comfortable and welcomed. About two months in now, I cannot enjoy more the workouts and I feel so much stronger and empowered!

Fantastic experience: Best fitness studio in the area, HANDS DOWN!

Fantastic experience: EmPOWer Lansing is the best gym around. Brian has been a rock of support to my physical fitness and well-being. The EmPOWer family is an amazing and supportive community. If you’re looking for an empowering and inclusive space to work out, try it out!

Fantastic experience: You are not going to find a better workout in Lansing. Nice, clean facility. Brian is a great trainer. Great schedule. Walked in overweight, stressed out, and have not played hockey in over a year due to covid. I can already tell these boxing and fitness classes with Brian will eventually get me back in shape. They are a small business which is even better.

Fantastic experience: Everyone is so kind and welcoming! The music is great and the workout kick butt!

Fantastic experience: Great gym. I am personally a runner and boxing is the same type of cardio just in the arms more than legs. I was injured from running and Brian got my leg strength back up to speed and even customized a couple workouts to my endurance traits. If you get in a routine and go they will help you with whatever it is you are there for. Amazing staff!

Fantastic experience: I truly wish I found this place sooner! What a fantastic team! The accountability of classes along with the energy the trainers exceeded my expectations. This is also the most affordable gym plan I've ever seen, even as a student. I highly recommend taking advantage of their first free class, you'll be hooked!

Fantastic experience: Incredible boxing instructors. It’s easy to tell that Leah and Brian have dedicated their lives to sharing the joy and power of boxing with everyone who walks into their gym. Their classes are great for beginners as well as more advanced people. You’ll be hooked after a few classes!

Fantastic experience: Empower is incredible! I joined during my last semester at MSU, having never stepped foot in a gym before. Brian, Leah, and the rest of the staff were so welcoming and encouraging. I'm only sad that I didn't join sooner, I'll miss this place so much!

Fantastic experience: My husband and I started working out at emPower Lansing since Sep 2018 and have been with them for a year now. Brian and Leah are really professional, motivating, fun, and friendly coaches!!! They know when to push you and they care about you and would help you tailor the routine to your own needs. They provide a variety of classes at different time of the day. We especially love the boxing classes, it was super fun!!! We are sadly moving to Miami this Fall and we know this is without doubt on the top of the list of things we will miss. T^T Highly recommended place for workout in the area!!! If we ever come back, I will sign up for their classes in a heartbeat. For those of you who are still deciding, just go and give it a try, they offer first class free, I promise you, you will not regret it. Thanks Brian and Leah for a great year!!! It's been a lot of fun for me and Shayne! We will miss you!!!!

Fantastic experience: I have always struggled with my weight mainly getting the motivation to go work out. With Brian the owner he puts in a 100% commitment to you and what your goals are making sure you reach them. Both Leah and Brian are so intelligent and know what they are doing and they make “dying” Fun! You will definitely noticed results if you are committed to what you want to achieve. Both Brian and Leah care about you, from the moment you walk in till you walk out you can tell, in how they talk to you and how they push they are invested! The biggest take away I can say is the confidence this place gives, not just in your body but more so in everything! In your personal life, your friends, your family, and your professional life! Definitely worth it to check it and will continue to give this a 5 star review all day every day

Fantastic experience: Just had my first workout today. I only went because my friend kept saying how much I would like it and he convinced me to go. Little did I know I was in for one of the most fun workouts of my life! There is a workout for all types of people with all types of fitness levels and a modification for everyone. I highly recommend trying out emPOWer Lansing!

Fantastic experience: I have been working out at Empower since it opened July ’18. They have morning, noon, and night classes so it’s easy to find a time to go. Their downtown location is very convenient too. The instructors are very intense, motivating, and are always changing up the routines to make it challenging and fun. And they always challenge me personally to work hard and be my best. I owe so much to this gym. I’m full of energy, sleeping great, acing my doctor appointments, and I’ve even attracted a younger boyfriend – I’m a cougar now! Thanks Brian, Leah, and staff!

Positive experience: So I only have gone to one class and am not the best source of information, but it seems this place is more of a cardio boxing gym that will give you a workout rather than teach you boxing, which is fine. I had a great workout. I personally would not pay money for just cardio though. I came to learn how to fight and not a single minute was dedicated to learning proper technique in their begginer course. Luckily I have some martial arts experience, so I didn't need it as badly, but I can imagine someone getting hurt without learning proper punching form. Maybe they will teach you if you look like you are doing it wrong. I don't know. I'm not a great source of info. However, this place does give off the solid impression that they are a boxing based cardio gym rather than a place that will teach you real boxing.

Fantastic experience: My experience with Brian has been amazing! He’s someone who is passionate, dedicated and willing to give his all. I feel honored to have him train and guide me! Definitely worth it!

Fantastic experience: I have been working out at emPOWer for almost a year now and haven't enjoyed working out this much in a long time. The trainers are so helpful and make the classes fun, plus they always play good music! If you have never been, you definitely need to give this place a try!

Fantastic experience: I travel often on business, and recently visited Lansing, Michigan. In my travels, I make it a point to maintain my fitness, and this time I had the opportunity to experience emPOWer gym. The website. Before I even set foot in Lansing, I already knew that I was going to love the gym. The emPOWER website is very intuitive, and beautifully captures the vibe of the place. I can count on one hand the number of times I have truly been hyped to check out a gym. This was definitely one of those times. The People. I arrived for Brian’s 6AM class. It was immediately clear that he has a great rapport with his clients. When visiting other gyms, I am often the recipient of the “stink eye” from the other members, and sometimes even the staff. That couldn’t have been further from the case here. Brian was welcoming, as were the others. The Workout. I have gone to boxing gyms across the country, and always get a great workout, but this one was different. The concepts, drills and cadence of the class were unlike anything else I have experienced. It was quite simply my favorite workout ever. I found it challenging, had fun, and was completely dialed in. In fact, this workout has sparked my creative juices in the workouts that I write for myself. The Range. It is worth mentioning that that there was a broad range of fitness levels, ages, etc. in the class, and the workout was structured to adapt to all. More Please!! I am sure my network is tired of hearing me rave about this place. I am only bummed that there isn’t a St Louis location, and that aren’t more locations for me to visit on my business travels. Thank you to emPOWER Gym for an incredible customer experience. I can’t wait to get back to the area!

Fantastic experience: This was honestly the best class I have ever been to. If you’re looking to have fun and sweat this is the place to go.

Fantastic experience: Are you ready to let go of the story that you don’t like exercising? Empower is the most body positive gym imaginable. The owners and trainers brilliantly push their clients to the limit while exuding respect. The space is lively and larger than life with a boxing ring, crazy punching bags, and workout gear all dramatically lit. Treat yourself to a great time, and a great workout.

Fantastic experience: I've been a high level athlete for a majority of my life, and somehow Brian, Leah, and Kim have found ways to blast my body with intensity like no other. I love coming to these classes and I look forward to the positive atmosphere of the instructors and everyone who shows up to work hard. I highly recommend you come check this place out! Your first class us free anyway!!!

Fantastic experience: Great staff, Great workouts! I recommend 100%

Fantastic experience: This place is one of a kind, with state of the art equipment and a trainer (Brian) who is dedicated to his craft. emPOWer is more than a workout center, as it's infused with inspiration to make YOUR GOALS a REALITY! I traveled all the way from Grand Rapids, MI to train with Brian and nothing can compare to how focused and determined I was at the end of the 30 mins. As my mentor and someone who has served my country, I would highly recommend making emPOWer your new workout HOME! You won't regret the changes that happen to your mind, body, Self-Confidence, and soul. Nothing by respect and love for this place!!!

Fantastic experience: Great instructors, and a killer workout. Supportive atmosphere great for all fitness levels.
