Introduction: I graduated from college with a degree in French education. I never planned to be in the fitness world, but I am here! After joining the local Y to meet people when I first moved to town, I discovered how much I loved Zumba. I became certified to teach it, and then slowly discovered how good it felt to be fit, so I learned how to teach other classes. A friend and I decided to open our own fitness boutique studio to teach classes, and she did some personal training. Watching her work with clients made me realize how much I wanted to work one on one with people. I am a great listener, and I love to get to know people, so it's a great fit! Now, I run the studio by myself, teach classes and boot camps and train clients. I love my job! I believe that true strength comes from training for a strong core and strong feet. My clients gain confidence and are amazed at what they can do when they train smart. Personal training at Empowered Wellness & Fitness Studio looks a lot different than it does at other gyms. Our hallmark is strengthening from the ground up and the core out. In a typical training session, our clients come in and start using a foam roller to relieve tight muscles. Then, they work on strengthening their feet. They learn how to improve their breathing. They work to strengthen their core muscles first and then they work to build muscle. It's important to set reasonable goals and review them. We begin by sitting down with you and talking about your current level of fitness, your exercise history, and any injuries. Then, we listen as you tell us what your concerns are, and we work together to set three goals as well as a timeline for achieving them. We talk about potential barriers and how to overcome them. We talk about their goals constantly, and we celebrate the successes, no matter how big or small. We talk a lot about their mindset, and we work to turn "can'ts" into "I can't waits!" We work with our clients, creating programs of exercise that are just the right amount of challenge. We do not yell or shame or make our clients do things that will injure them. We will push you, but safety is always a priority. I speak French and have a great passion for France! I love to travel and see new places. I am a singer, and I'm learning how to play the guitar. I love to read. I love to drink really good tea and red wine. I love to eat amazing food, and I love to cook when I have the time. I am married, and we have two sons.

I first came to Empowered Wellness & Fitness Studio last June when a Mayo spine specialist recommended I take Pilates to strengthen my core because of my major back issues. I called a few locations offering Pilates in the Rochester area. When I called Empowered Wellness Fitness Studio, Emily was very helpful and offered to meet with me in person. During that first meeting, Emily took the time to explain Pilates, address my needs and concerns, answer questions, plus had me complete a goals sheet. She put together a schedule/program for me, and I signed on for Pilates with Emily as my Personal Trainer. Emily is absolutely outstanding! She is truly an expert in the field. She takes the time to explain and model the various moves as many times as I may need, and observes me carefully as I do the moves. She has a keen eye in assessing where I am at in my progress. She is diligent about making notations (such as helpful tips) in my Personal Training Manual which she provided me on day one of training. She is very supportive and encouraging. I love feeling my core get stronger and stronger. I have better balance, posture, and my clothes fit better too. My back has improved immensely! How wonderful to have control over my back instead of it controlling me. I am extremely grateful to Emily for her dedication and expertise. Pilates with Emily has changed my life. Barb Z.

Emily is a motivated young business owner who wants only the best for her clients. She never assumes that she knows what you need better than you do -- Emily listens to your needs and gets you to act accordingly in your best interests. I am happy that she is part of my weekly life, encouraging me and calling attention to my successes. The space she has created for exercise and classes is always pleasant and a welcoming atmosphere. I have found myself going whether I feel like it or not, because I know I will feel better upon my exit than I did when I entered!
