Empowered owners Emily & CJ (and mini co-owner Ada-Grace) have officially made it safely to their new, but temporary, home in Ohio!
A word from Emily:
"Thank you all for the incredible support as we step into this temporary chapter in Ohio ✈️
Leaving what we built wasn’t easy, but supporting this season of Air Force life together makes it meaningful and we are so grateful to take on this adventure as a family ❤️
While this move is temporary, our mission isn’t, and I will still be working remotely with some intermittent visits along the way! We’re so grateful for a community that stands behind us no matter the zip code. This is just a “see you later,” not a goodbye! We know that the gym will be in good hands with our incredible staff and gym community! 🏋🏽♂️🏋🏻♀️ We love you all and I'll see you soon!"
We wish them all the best and can't wait to see them during their next visit! 🌴

Everyone please welcome the newest member of the Empowered Strength & Movement team, Ryan! 💪
Hi there, my name’s Ryan! I’m a Tampa Bay native with a Bachelor’s in Kinesiology from the University of Central Florida.
With an extensive history in athletics - both competing and coaching - I’ve had the privilege of training people of all ages and backgrounds. From individuals on the autism spectrum, to military personnel, first-responders, youth, and the elderly, it’s always a joy training someone from a different walk of life.
With my training focused on a sports-performance context, I provide people with the knowledge, tools and skills needed for success in and outside the gym. I look forward to aiding you on your fitness journey!
BS, NASM-CPT
