What Makes Mpower Gym Unique?
Mpower Gym is unlike any other fitness facility—and that goes far beyond the programs we offer or the equipment inside our building.
Yes, we offer many programs you may recognize: strength and conditioning, sports performance, powerlifting, Brazilian jiu-jitsu, taekwondo, boxing and kickboxing, yoga, open-gym access, and specialized strength programs. What makes Mpower special is the way all of those programs, people, and disciplines come together under one roof.
A Place for Every Age and Ability
Our community includes members from nearly every stage of life. We have children as young as five learning Brazilian jiu-jitsu and taekwondo, competitive athletes working to reach the next level, adults pursuing greater strength and better health, and members in their 70s and 80s continuing to train with purpose.
That range is rare. It is even more unusual to find a facility that can genuinely serve so many ages and ability levels through both fitness and martial arts.
At Mpower, kids, teenagers, young adults, parents, working professionals, competitive athletes, and seniors all have a place. They may pursue different goals, but they share the same environment and the same culture of growth.
Three Distinct Training Spaces Under One Roof
Our 12,500-square-foot facility feels like three gyms within one gym. It is divided into three roughly 4,000-square-foot spaces, each designed for a different style of training.
Our open training floor is home to our strength and conditioning classes and many of our group programs. The space includes assault bikes, rowers, training rigs, racks of dumbbells and kettlebells, medicine balls, plyometric boxes, and a wide assortment of speed and agility equipment. The open layout gives our coaches the flexibility to train groups of different sizes and create sessions that are challenging, varied, and appropriate for the people in front of them.
Next door is our traditional weight room. It is lined with machines, heavy free weights, power racks, specialty bars, powerlifting equipment, and unique machines that are difficult to find in a typical commercial gym. Whether someone is learning the basics, building muscle, or preparing for a powerlifting meet, this room gives them the tools to do it.
The Mpower Academy is a 4,000-square-foot martial arts and movement space with a fully matted floor, wall mats, a training rig, and Muay Thai heavy bags. It is home to our taekwondo, Brazilian jiu-jitsu, boxing and kickboxing, and yoga programs.
Together, these spaces allow us to offer an unusually broad training experience without losing the identity and purpose of each individual program.
Developing the Next Generation of Athletes
Our sports performance program, led through our partnership with Sam Faulkner and SF Training Systems, is another major part of who we are. We are fortunate to help hundreds of young athletes improve their strength, speed, movement, confidence, and overall athletic ability.
Our goal is bigger than making kids faster or stronger. We want to teach them how to work, how to respond to challenges, and how to carry confidence and discipline into every part of their lives.
A Coaching Team Built on Knowledge and Passion
Our coaching team is highly educated, deeply experienced, and genuinely invested in the people we serve. Nearly every member of our staff holds a bachelor’s degree or higher; those who do not bring decades of hands-on experience in their discipline. Collectively, our coaches represent decades of training knowledge across strength and conditioning, athletic development, martial arts, and movement.
For nearly our entire team, coaching is not a side interest—it is their profession and their passion. They continue learning, refining their craft, and finding better ways to help each person succeed.
Credentials matter, but what makes our staff special is how much they care. Our coaches know their members, understand their goals, and meet them where they are.
From a Truck and Trailer to Mpower Gym
Our history is also part of what makes Mpower unique.
Mpower began with a young coach, Mike Baker, and a dream to create a different kind of training program. In the beginning, the gym was mobile: equipment was hauled in a truck and trailer, and workouts were held outdoors.
Over time, that small program grew into the Mpower Gym you see today.
When we moved into our current building, we renovated it ourselves from floor to ceiling. We took on debt, accepted the risk, and bet on the belief that we could build something meaningful for our community. The early years brought tremendous adversity, including a pandemic that could have ended everything we had built.
But it did not.
Our community believed in us. They supported us, stood beside us, and helped us keep moving forward. Together, we persevered, grew, and continued to improve.
The Heart of Mpower Is Our Community
The facility is impressive. The range of programs is unusual. The equipment, training spaces, and coaching staff are all things we are incredibly proud of.
But none of them is the most important part of Mpower.
The heart of this gym is our community.
Our members come from every walk of life. They are business owners, teachers, medical professionals, police officers, firefighters, active-duty service members, veterans, skilled tradespeople, parents, students, athletes, and retirees. They arrive with different backgrounds, abilities, and goals, but they support one another as one community.
Friendships are formed here. People encourage one another, celebrate milestones, and lift each other up on difficult days. This community has experienced triumph and tragedy together, and it has repeatedly shown what it means to stand beside someone when they need it most.
We often hear people say there is something special about Mpower—that the atmosphere, team, and community feel different from anything they have experienced elsewhere. We never take that comment for granted.
I have spent my life in gyms, and I can confidently say there is nowhere else in the world quite like Mpower Gym.
We have plenty of things that showcase who we are. But what truly makes us unique—and what allows us to continue thriving—is the diverse, hardworking, dedicated, and absolutely outstanding community we have the privilege of serving every day.
