At EMPWR, we believe in sustainable transformations. Our dedicated team of trainers will provide and see you through carefully tailored programs based on your unique strengths and fitness goals.
Our programs are holistic – building on the fundamentals of proper lifting form and technique, while providing you with the nutritional guidance needed to achieve your goals.
We would love to see you thrive both in and out of the gym, and are committed to providing a safe and judgement-free space for you to learn, be inspired, and train hard. The journey is different for everyone and we’ll walk alongside you as you become the healthiest and strongest version of yourself.
Your first session includes a full assessment to understand your goals, background, and needs. By understanding you better, it enables us to craft a sustainable transformation program that caters to your specific lifestyle and commitments. Whether you’re looking to lose or gain weight, rehabilitate and strengthen from an injury, or simply to build more muscle, we’ll show you the way.
Our guided programs take you through and reinforce the fundamentals of proper lifting form and technique to build your strength and confidence. As you progress, we will deconstruct major compound movements and work towards enhancing your mastery of different exercises and movements.
We believe designing sustainable training programs ensures your safety and long-term success. Our trainers provide careful guidance and attention to detail to your form and movements to help you progress injury-free. We also take note of your past injuries to work around any limitations and help you regain mobility in weaker areas.
Proper nutrition is a critical part of training as it supports your growth and recovery. Our trainers will help you better understand your body’s needs and craft a sustainable nutrition plan that is inline with your goals.
We believe empowering you to take control of your own health and fitness is key to achieving your goals. We strive not only to educate and provide you with information, but also to provide support and encouragement as you continue to thrive both in and out of the gym.
“The best part about training with Angela is that she understood what I needed, even better than me. Of course, her knowledge about what exercises to do, how to do them, and what diet to take is impeccable.”
“Kevin is an outstanding trainer who has been very patient and encouraging throughout my entire fitness journey. What’s great about him is that he pushes me hard during training, while always educating me and ensuring that I adopt the correct form and posture.”
“Jermyn inculcates accountability. He discusses and reviews my goals periodically to allow me to keep tab of my progress. He gives hands on instant feedback and just the right amount of encouragement. I like that he shares useful tips and tricks to get the most out of my training. He also ensures that I understand the purposes and benefits prior to executing the training plan so that I am aware and not blindly doing.”
“As I have a handful of past injuries, I like how Zac pays very close attention to my form and movement. Providing very useful tips to correct my technique. I feel more equipped than ever, and I look forward to lifting more weights to get stronger!”
“I really enjoy the attention to detail that Jermyn provides. And he has been very proactive to ensure diversity in my training program and keep things interesting for me. He is always ahead with my training plan and ensures that I make progress despite my busy schedule. I am very impressed and please with his accountability and constant encouragement.”
I had a lot of trust in Joey, because she had experience with similar knee injury to me so she knows exactly what I needed to do to rebuild my strength. She was able to push me each session, and I began to see the progression and also adapt each session to my condition that day.
She takes the time to explain all the exercises, correcting my form and providing me with exercises I could do outside of our sessions as well!
Not only that, she made session fun, not putting up with any of my whining or me wanting to give up.
I was able to meet my goals and build my overall strength to better than pre-injury level!
I have been taking personal training sessions here for a couple months. I have to say this is the first time I have a personal trainer who actively customises our sessions with the intention to improve my main sport. My previous personal trainers elsewhere were bodybuilders where the only endpoint was either larger or stronger.
It’s refreshing to notice a significant improvement in my speed or agility or reflexibility since i started with EMPWR. My physique also quietly improved along the way too, more of a side effect. Not bigger but more functional/operational.
The sessions are also never feel more than I cope with. It’s also great that my PT puts me through exercises I need to do to improve but otherwise wouldn’t have the willpower to do on my own; which is the whole point of personal training. Great place. Well equipped. Best of all - knowledgeable, professional coaches.
I really enjoy my training sessions with Kevin. He's both chill but also encouraging! He is always there to listen to me, and provide good training advice. I get curious about technique, and he explains to me quite well and patiently. I have seen steady progress in the last year, and it was him, I feel I have both an expert, as well as a friend.
I was looking for a neighbourhood gym that provides personalised training programs. EMPWR delivers all that but even more. It's a very nice gym, the environment and equipments are well taken care of.
I really enjoy my sessions with my trainer here. All the trainers and the people here are very friendly, so there is really a community feeling to it.
My experience with Angela has been an amazing Journey so far! I walked in with a lofty goal given the stage of fitness I was at. Angela managed my expectations well at the same time kept me motivated saying that with the right work it can be achieved. She is a great mix of being a hard taskmaster at the same time having the ability to tweak the program based on how you are feeling on performing along the way.
Angela places a lot of emphasis on the right form (it was necessary for me given I have a back injury) and worked kept tweaking my nutrition plan and held me accountable. The facility is great with all the necessary equipments, not overly crowded at any point in time and a friendly group of instructors!
The transformation Angela helped me achieve was way beyond what I expected and I am at the best shape I have ever been!
Love Annabella at EMPWR!! Anna is not your drill-sergeant-type of coach. She’s always listening and she knows how to ask the right questions to better guide the training. Not just to fill the silence —The kind of questions that make me slow down, tune in, and check where I’m really at.
I find myself wanting to share—how my body feels, what my energy is like, even what’s been on my mind that day. And once that space is open, training doesn’t feel like pushing through pain or forcing myself to be stronger. It becomes a conversation between me and my body!!!
EMPWR is ridiculously convenient—bus stop downstairs, MRT around the corner. I can leave my house and be warming up in five minutes. That alone changed everything for me. And then there’s that giant window—lifting weights in the sunlight, running as rain slides down the glass… it’s kind of magic.
