Empower Online Coaching レビュー 284

Joining Empower was one of the best things I have done for myself. The team are so helpful and supportive and they truely care. They have a positive and kind approach to health and fitness that makes the whole program really enjoyable. Everything is completely tailored to your goals, needs, likes and dislikes to ensure you see the best results possible. I couldn’t recommend it enough!

My experience has been one of a kind! Emma has been so accomodating and hasn’t felt like a coach but has felt like a friend! I felt like I could always be honest and talk about my concerns and I absolutely love how she always found a way to incorporate the food and exercises I love! She truly is so amazing and Empower is totally worth it!

I love my coaching with empower, the workouts and meal plans are great and I love that you can message at any time to have a chat about how you’re feeling or if you need help with something. I definitely recommend joining empower! Especially grateful for Tash who is always super supportive and non judgmental

GUYS PLEASE LISTEN TO THE NEGATIVE REVIEWS!! From someone who has been following emma for 2 years and truly believed she was genuine. She’s just an influencer at the end of the day. They don’t really care to know how you are feeling for the check in and it all feels like a copy and paste reply. I didn’t even know who I was talking to and whenever I voiced how I was feeling insecure they gave me a basic “sorry you feel that way” response. For all that money per month you would think they’d take the time to truly talk to their clients. It’s not even worth 50 bucks a month let alone 145. All you are paying for realistically is the food plan and a generic ass response because your workouts stay the same for 6 months. The food isn’t good-they don’t make sure you’re doing the movements correct-they don’t take the time to listen to their clients concerns. The worst part is that I did 3 months and wanted to stop being “coached” by Emma and she wouldn’t let me quit because I signed up for a 6 month commitment!! I had to block her payments from charging me and report them as fraud. That’s all this buissiness is, a fraud. You aren’t getting coached you are being scammed by some generic influencer who doesn’t give a f*$k. All I’ll say is they are nice LOL. Please please listen to the negative reviews because I regret not doing so.

Joining Empower is the best thing I’ve ever done for myself! I’ve spend most of my life struggling with my eating and fitness, trying extreme diets just to try and shift some weight but since joining Empower I’ve adopted really healthy habits that I know I’ll keep up with for years to come. I’ve never felt better in myself and I never thought in a million years that I’d be capable of the things I’ve accomplished with Empower. Massive thank you to Flo and Emma for their ongoing support and encouragement - absolutely changed my life!

feel like this program is probably good for people who are complete novices. I was gutted to find my personal needs were not considered, I had the wrong measurements celebrated and it just wasn’t personalised at all.

The 3 month commitment seems like a just a moneymaking scheme. I flagged my concerns early on and nothing changed

I was also told my review was not a genuine experience - the team are going through trying to delete reviews so I’m dropping my rating to 1star - I had to submit my invoice to prove I was a customer - ridiculous

Empower coaching was the best decision I ever made. I spend years of my life, exhausted and hungry, trying to lose weight and look good with no success. How I wish I found empower sooner. The process felt effortless and the pounds practically fell off. Not once did I feel deprived or over exerted during my workouts. Not only do I now have my dream body, I feel so strong and have seemingly limitless energy. Do your self a favor and sign up with Empower. These ladies know what they are doing and there is no question that they truly care about you as a client and want you to succeed.

I was extremely excited about working with Emma from what I had seen on her Instagram page,however my experience was the complete opposite. I specifically stated foods that I did not like yet EVERY week I had to ask her to change my plan,she even said she’d made a note on file yet every week it happened. I also requested a meal that I’d seen on her Instagram page but she didn’t know which one I was referring to so told me to add it all into MyFitnessPal myself - I thought that’s what I was paying her to do!!! I also found the calories on some recipes to be between 100-200 less than what she’d stated which is a huge difference across the day/week.

Reinforced my eating disorder, despite the fact I had just come out of an eating disorder unit and was very vulnerable. Restrictive and dangerous habits were encouraged, and it’s only now I’ve found a better coach that I realised how dangerous Emma’s coaching is (if it is even Emma coaching). Avoid like the plague, her company is damaging and potentially dangerous.

I’ve been really unsure whether to post this, however after nearly a year on from using Empower I still struggle with things I’ve found out about Emma and her work ethic.

I found out that you very very rarely actually speak to emma herself, EVEN THOUGH she answers to emma and even signs off conversations as emma.

The “emma” I was speaking to was actually a member of her team, and was told to not correct anyone that they’re not really speaking to emma herself. If things were more transparent, that wouldn’t bother me so much, but I was truly lead to believe her attention was given to me.

Someone has already made comments about her having kidney stones - the amount of sugar she uses in food is hilarious. Yes, she’s making food accessible for people and not letting anyone “miss out”, but oh my god she just eats so much processed crap.

My last and most scary point - I finally hit my goal weight and told Emma that I think I could lose more. I had lost a LOT and I was met with agreement. A new goal weight was instantly given to me without question.

Whilst the recipes were yummy, I was no longer enjoying the workouts but didn’t see much changed for me.

Please PLEASE ask as many questions as possible if you decide to get training from Empower.

After working with ‘Emma’ for the past four months (it wasn’t Emma I was working with although when you sign up it’s made out this way and is the reason I joined), I am really disappointed.

As mentioned above, I joined as I thought I’d be coached by Emma. The reason I wanted this is because I feel she’s been in the same position as me once, and knows what’s this feels like. I was given another coach, but I never knew if sometimes I was talking to her or Emma as they would very rarely sign their names off.

I was given a meal plan every two weeks and a workout plan (although the workout plan was updated much less which I understand why for consistency) but they’d always ask in my check ins what good I fancied or what I wanted to improve incorporate into my meals that week - but they’d never actually incorporate this. So seems pointless to have this question and then not ever take it to account. I asked twice for them to incorporate a meal I’d seen Emma post on her Instagram and they gave me something similar but not the same meal, which again made me feel like I was never actually listened to. When I filled out my initial questionnaire I said I’d like the cheapest and quickest meals possible, but often I was given meals with Tesco ‘Finest’ ingredients and that would take 45 minutes+ to make.

The workout plans you can find on more or less any fitness Instagram page. Over 4 months I spent £500 and got generic answers constantly of ‘you need to drink more water’ or you need to do more steps’, which is info I could find out online from anywhere and is just basic knowledge.

As others say, if you ever complained you’d get ‘Aw sorry you feel that way’ and I just felt like all the answers were drafted for the coaches to use. Feel like the coaches don’t actually get you know you as a person at all. For that price I would at least expect as the bare minimum a weekly Zoom/Teams call to check up on you, but all I got was one generic message a week after my check in saying ‘well done, keep going etc’ and nothing else for motivation. If I was struggling I’d ask questions, which they’d completely ignore my questions and just talk about something else.

Also they don’t take into account your lifestyle at all - there should really be more understanding of some people work long hours, or have young babies or children, etc and can’t just go to the gym when they want, or fit 10k steps in everyday like the coaches clearly can!

To top it off I missed my last check in due to my husband being extremely unwell, and they said I had until the Friday to check in. I went to check in on the Thursday and they had kicked me off the app and removed my access despite it being the beginning of the month, and I had paid for the entire rest of that month!

Overall it seems like they have too many clients and not enough time for a personalised experience - they’re just like every other ‘fitness influencer’/ ‘online coach’ on Instagram. Really wish I’d read the negative reviews on here before paying out such a large amount of money.

I joined Empower at the lowest point in my life and it was the best decision I’ve ever made. I was so tired of being unhappy in my skin and uncomfortable in my clothes - I had been following Emma for a while and finally decided to pick myself up. I’ve had lots of slips and falls along the way but Emma and Mel have been so patient and understanding about getting me back on track. I’m still a work in progress but I couldn’t have done it without these girls and their kind words and delicious meal plans!! I’m forever grateful to Emma and Mel for their support ❤️

My PT Molly. What can I say about her. I can’t thank her enough for all she’s taught me these last few months. My mindset shift of being defeated over a number to never caring less. I feel so confident in my body regardless of the scale. She’s made me realise my worth and potential goes so much further then a slab of metal that’s a basic reading. My soul,my drive my determination is what makes me beautiful. Molly and Emma of course have put together the best suited plan. I always hate referring to it as a ‘diet’ plan as that word had now been seen as negative to me in the fitness world. It’s NOT a diet. Well… in the way your thinking anyways. It’s a sustainable,enjoyable lifestyle change that I can take with me forever. Chocolate is still my best friend and always will be only difference is I won’t feel guilty for eating it. I can’t Thankyou enough Molly for inspiring me along my journey myself.💝

Empower is brilliant. The coaches are super supportive and never make you feel bad if you haven't stayed on plan.
You learn so much about nutrition and exercise, it's 100% worth it!
The meals are actually tasting and you're allowed carbs!
You have to trust the process, if you don't stick to plan you won't see results.

Working with Emma and her team was a pleasure! I loved the tailored workouts and the meal plans offered a variety of delicious and easy recipes! It is easy to integrate everything into the daily routine. Also, Emma and her team just know how to motivate you and offer a lot of tips! If you are looking for a healthy approach to eating and working out, I would recommend the Empower program!

Joining Empower coaching is the best decision I have made! Not only do I have a much better relationship with food I don’t feel restricted in any way and I feel as though I can be more social without the guilty feeling the next day from “overindulging” x The coaches have brilliant advice, point out all the positives from what I would have classed as a “bad week” previously and have made me realise I’m am capable of so much more. I no longer feel like food controls me and have realised with the help of Empower that bad days are normal and not something to feel guilty about! The training has helped me so much to stick to a routine and actually enjoy the gym! I have gained so much more confidence in myself that I no longer feel intimidated by the gym and can look forward to my next session. I cannot thank them enough and would recommend them to anyone!

I have tried to lose weight several times and every time I just picked up bad habits (like binging etc) so I wanted to try something different. The plan Emma and the team put together for me has helped shaped my mindset and I’ve ended up losing more weight than I could imagine. It’s not boring food like loads of other meal plans, so as a plus I’ve become a great cook too! Nothing was too much trouble and I’m very grateful. I’m so excited to go off and practice all the things I’ve learnt. Thank you!!

Firstly, I wanted to start off by saying I think Emma seems like a really lovely person who has a really good vision. I really like how she herself used to struggle with her weight and fitness, so she really knows how it feels to be at the other end of the scale. She obviously knows what she's talking about and wants others to be able to turn their lives around like she did. I just don't particularly think it is implemented in the best way, it isn't tailored well enough to each individual person.

I personally think for what I paid it was very overpriced. I paid £125 a month which for something online is quite a lot. I had to fill in a detailed questionnaire about health, medical issues etc but I feel like this could've been adapted a bit better. I have a condition that means I have coordination issues and in my exercise plan I was given some really complicated exercises! I found the plan quite hard to follow to be honest, I would've preferred a pre-recorded video of Emma herself or one of her assistants showing us how to do the workouts.

I wasn't too impressed either by the recipes. They were quite basic and uninspiring. I had recipes like a cheese sandwich or a tuna pitta bread. I was left feeling very hungry to be honest with really bad side effects.

I thought the check in system worked quite well each week to document progress, but I was surprised that one week when I couldn't check in due to having covid, nobody checked in. I was surprised by this that due to the money we pay I would have expected the service to be a bit better and someone to check up. I did three months and effectively wasted almost £500 for quite an average service and something that I could've found off google. I didn't feel that it was tailored enough or that specific things from the questionnaire were taken into account. Whilst I did lose half a stone, I think it gave me quite a bad mentality towards eating and calories to a point where it became a bit obsessive and not in a good way.

It's such a shame as this had the potential to be a great service, but I just felt there wasn't really enough support on the programme. I would prefer maybe twice weekly check ins, and more guides about starting exercise as a beginner or keeping motivation going. Felt a bit like we were just left to get on with it, that once we paid the money that was it.

First things first, Emma is a lovely person and this is nothing against her or her team at all. It’s clear she is very hard working and has a passion for fitness and her business, this is just my honest experience.
I spent about 5 months with empower in total. I set my goals to weight loss and I think in all honestly I was expecting a lot more to happen to my body than what did. Yes I had a few weeks where my calorie intake wasn’t perfect but in the whole 5 months I started at 56kg and ended at 57.5kg. I didn’t lose any weight at all. To the point I had to change my goals half way through because it was just so disheartening to see the scales stay static.
I am not a newby to exercise or to the gym and I agree with other reviews that this programme/coaching is maybe for people who are or have no knowledge with macros. In all honestly I did a dieting phase at the start of the year eating more calories than I was put on with empower but training more HIIT style workouts (with weights included) and the weight was falling off me.
I think in all honestly, the most I got out of it was just having someone there to hold me accountable and to ask how I was doing each week which I guess is really nice but not for £125 a month. I ended up having to leave 1. Because of the money, I couldn’t justify the amount I was spending anymore and 2. Because my circimstances have changed. I’m a shift worker working long days, nights weekends ect. It’s pretty much impossible to consistently, week after week, follow this plan. Once through a stint of nights when I explained that my sleep is pretty awful right now, I was advised to have regular naps during the day to help. I mean, how can you advise someone to have naps when 12.5 hours of the day they’re on their feet at work. I think at this point it was clear this program was not suitable for me anymore.
Another side point, it’s made out that you talk to Emma through the app but at times I feel like there’s definitely other people replying to you. This is not made clear at all. It would have been nice to know who your conversing with through the phone whether it be emma or someone else. This sometimes became very confusing.

I’ve been a “gym goer” for as long as I can remember, But Emma and her team completely changed my outlook on training/nutrition! It’s no longer a chore but a please to go to the gym, i absolutely love empowers approach to training, I couldn’t recommend them more! I am so grateful for what they have taught me 🫶🏼 I really do feel empowered as a woman, who would’ve thought that I would be lifting such heavy weights at the gym!!!
