"You leave inspired!"
"I’ve been going just a few months, and was nervous about doing kickboxing. There’s no reason to feel that way with Empire. Alan and Liam are great teachers, understanding what each student needs to learn techniques.
Cheryl is always ready to greet you when you walk in the door. And the other students are supportive, as well - everyone knows we’re there to learn. You leave inspired!"

"Empire instructors teach you how to react.. fast!"
"I needed to learn some basic self defense, ASAP. Empire Defense & Fitness was the only facility around that offered just what I needed and I was able to sign up right away.
The instructors are kind and encouraging, but also direct. They help you get started on self defense skills, from day one.
People come in at all different skill levels, but the drills are accessible to any level, even beginners. The first lesson is a shift in mindset: decide you're not going to be a victim. Situational awareness is important, but Empire instructors teach you how to react, fast, when SHTF."
- Barbara T
"I would recommend Empire to everyone!"
"I’ve had nothing short of an incredible experience with empire. I live an hour away from my work & Empire and will always take on a long day to be able to do something I thoroughly enjoy that challenges and disciplines me.
I would recommend Empire to everyone! It’s a great experience, with great people who are willing to teach you self-discipline and vital skills"

"I was the Excuse Expert". I'm too busy, I'll do it next week. All I can say is I wish I had started sooner but I am here now and Loving It. After every class I feel great and always have more Energy. Alan, Cheryl and Liam truly care and are always ready to give extra help or support when you have a bad day.
If you're too busy for fitness, you're too busy to fully enjoy life—prioritizing your health makes everything else possible.
We understand that cost is an important consideration, but what’s even more important is making sure our program aligns with what you truly value. At Empire our programs are specifically tailored to those who are ready to invest in themselves, so we encourage you to schedule a tour and see if we’re the right fit for your goals..
You're never too old to start; you're just in the perfect stage of life to unlock your full potential! We have students well into their 70's that are an inspiration to others.
