It’s a very comfortable environment, not intimidating at all. I enjoy being surrounded by other people like me and the PTs are great.

This is far and away the best gym I have ever joined. People talk easily about creating a community, but it in this case it is genuinely true!A group of lovely people from all walks of life and experiences, helping each other to achieve their goals - or sometimes just to make it through…..The trainers are committed and serious about what they do, always looking for ways to help. As importantly, they make the sessions fun and welcoming…. They are a really nice bunch of people.There is no judgement from members or making you feel you are ‘not good enough’. Everyone is friendly and supportive.As a result, I enjoy going to the sessions and always feel sooo much better afterwards.

My time and experience at Empowered Fitness in Ashton Bristol was great. All the staff, trainers etc are so kind, friendly and helpful...they speak to you, sort out what you'd like to do, achieve, if you've got any problems ie like Ive had with 4 different arthritic joint replacements and another one coming up later this year. ..and every session was really good for me..again each trainer really nice, good and helpful to me and the other ladies in the exercise session at the same time as me xxx🤣🥰🥰

I joined last year and haven’t looked back since. The trainers are great, knowledgeable and very supportive to everyone. The whole atmosphere is positive, non judgmental, fun with lovely , friendly members. Highly recommend ⭐️

I’ve been a member of Empowered Fitness since 2018 and still enjoy it! That in itself is remarkable! Knowledgeable trainers who design programs to meet the needs of their clients yet also easily accommodate any injuries etc in finding alternative exercises. Nutritional advice provided to support each client’s goals. Inclusive environment and a wonderful variety of ages and abilities so no need to feel worried that you can’t just give it a go if you’ve never set foot inside a gym - this is no ordinary gym! And the members are all so friendly, welcoming and supportive, creating a lovely social element alongside the physical aspect.

Small but perfectly-formed women's gym. Supportive, caring and attentive trainers who specialise in helping people who are, or have been, recovering from injury, illness etc. Nutritional support and guidance available for weight loss and general health. Non-competitive, welcoming environment and perfect for those who've never set foot in a gym before but know they need to make strength and conditioning training a part of their lives. You're never too old to start - there are members in their 70s and even their 80s. The community of members is also really lovely - and we do laugh a lot!

2026-04-17T11:55:07.000Z

Never thought i would enjoy going to the gym but everyone is so welcoming and friendly its a great place to train, so glad I started and I plan to keep going.

2026-04-17T11:45:00.000Z

I absolutely love being part of the empowered fitness gym, I’ve now been a member for nearly two years and it is the only gym I’ve stayed consistent at.. the instructors are all lovely, have lots of knowledge and I’ve Always felt at ease with everyone , you go at your own pace .. thank you for giving me this new found love for weight lifting and feeling good this is the strongest I’ve ever felt and couldn’t imagine my life now with out our gym

2026-04-17T11:01:49.000Z

When I joined Empowered several years ago my goal was to get fitter and stronger. The support I’ve had from the excellent trainers and the other women I train with has been fantastic. Not only did I get fitter and stronger, I have also dropped 3 dress sizes. I’ve been a member of many other gyms but this is the only one that has made a lasting significant difference for me. Highly recommend

2026-03-12T11:46:25.007Z

This place is just SO lovely for older people who want a little fitness boost. Not strict women only but nearly all women clients and all the instructors are so helpful. If I lived closer I would join permanently but it's a long way from where I live, so I set aside a one month programme and allow for lots of driving time. You can have 2 sessions a week with just 4 clients and a personal programme tailored to you, there are also lots of slightly bigger groups also with really varied exercises for people to do, I have never been bored!! They also do an indvidual interview when you join with measurements etc, diet and health advice, concern for any particular health problems or physical injuries you might have. I really can't recommend them highly enough. PS I am going to be 80 this year and their input makes me feel 25 years younger!!

2026-02-25T12:18:04.521Z

I recently completed a three week trial  which was brilliant. The trainers are very supportive and experienced, tailoring sessions to each individuals needs. The sessions are very relaxed, friendly and sociabIe alongside challenging. I felt I made progress in a short time and this has given me motivation to continue. I would thoroughly recommend Empowered Fitness, it definitely lives up to its name.

2026-01-20T06:09:35.000Z

A really positive place for women to get stronger and fitter and feel comfortable in the process supported by a fantastic group of instructors

2025-11-16T20:16:06.615Z

I have been a member for over 18 months now. I was overweight and very unfit with frequent back problems. I have lost 2 stone and become much stronger and I feel really great. I am 76 and it’s given me a new lease of life!I enjoy training with Lewis, he has a great personality and good humour, he’s very chatty but also knows his stuff and is always happy to help me to exercise safely. Matt is kind and supportive and helps to keep up enthusiasm by varying the exercises and adapting them to allow for my injured knee. Joey takes top marks for his energetic outlook, both in the gym and outside organising walks etc. I love coming to the gym, I especially like the friendly attitude which spills from the trainers to the members

2025-10-28T09:12:38.713Z

I joined Empowered Fitness on a free trial in January, having hit 50 and struggling with back pain and lethargy. It’s now October and I haven’t missed a single session. I have been 3 times a week and haven’t had any back pain or indeed any illness, colds, pains all year! It’s a really accessible way to get stronger and boost self esteem. I can see the changes in my body and my mind. I want to say thank you to Lewis Dean, who brings such fun and flair to the sessions, Joey Ledbury who is always so positive and motivating and Matt who is a steady and empowering gym lead.

2025-10-21T11:16:30.661Z

I recently joined the gym for a 6 week programme and can highly recommend. The trainers are all friendly, non judgemental and supportive and members have been very welcoming. I've attended small personal training and group sessions and love that no two classes feel the same. I've had most classes with Lewis and can't fault him. He has provided constructive feedback and there is always joyful repartee - great to leave a session knowing that you've worked hard and can have a laugh!

2025-10-16T16:09:10.561Z

I felt at home straight away. All the other ladies are wonderful. Trainers really know what they are talking about. Well worth booking X

2025-03-20T19:10:14.990Z

Great place to get fit, trainers are all so friendly and great at helping you to achieve your goals and you get to train with lots of other lovely ladies

2025-03-19T17:56:36.055Z

I love this place so much and it has kind of taken over my life in the two and a half years since my first session with Matt, and I never started the gym till I was 51. Joey, Matt and Lewis are the best.

2025-03-19T16:41:52.279Z

Over the years I have joined gyms, signing up at the first session and never going back, not getting any fitter, just poorer. I thought I would give empowered fitness a try and have been going regularly since last August. I am so much stronger than I was, it is as the name suggests, empowering. The trainers are all lovely and their level of care and expertise is great. They constantly check in with each member, making sure they can make any allowances for injuries or weaknesses. They have always been extremely patient with me, especially during the times my back or knees were playing up. We can all work at our own pace and own level, and you can choose from a smaller group of up to 4, or a larger one of up to 10. Just give them a try, you will soon see what I mean!

2025-03-19T14:35:06.817Z

I chose this gym because it had lots of early morning slots, small class sizes and ladies only. I have been attending for 3 months and do 3 group sessions a week. I love the sessions, the coaches are great!

2025-03-19T13:10:43.218Z

Such a friendly supportive place.I feel that I’m encouraged to be the best version of myself, with the help of the fabulous personal trainers, and the camaraderie of everyone else who trains there.

2025-03-19T12:58:18.188Z

An incredibly supportive gym, the staff are great, always listen and encourage you. I always feel better when I leave.

2024-12-30T19:36:39.459Z

All the staff are caring, encouraging and supportive with careful monitoring of progress and particular attention to individual requirements. The whole membership are friendly and inclusive of new faces, and training here if thoroughly enjoyable

2024-12-16T21:37:04.436Z

I have worked out at this boutique studio gym for 7 years. Over this time the staff, without exception, have been knowledgeable, professional and really interested in helping me to reach my goals, and meet the challenges that I have set myself. Oh yes, and it’s incredibly friendly.

2024-12-12T08:26:33.967Z

Want a dose of positivity in your life? Throw in tailored strength training, a bit of cardio and massive support from theee knowledgeable trainers and you’re on your way. Can’t believe I held my nose and thought I’d be off like a bat out of hell after three months but I’m still here nearly nine years later!

2024-09-02T16:52:59.481Z

Highly recommended, I love boot camp, great couches, very encouraging, since I've started a year ago, I love to exercise

2024-07-15T09:00:43.602Z

Absolutely adore this place. The staff are so understanding and helpful. I have a lot of medical needs and they were wonderful when it came to these. The place is clean and safe and the almost family feel is head and shoulders above the rest! I actually LIKED exercising which is something I usually do not!

Hello. I happened across Empowered fitness after an operation, that took my womb and some cancer with it. I was suffering mentally and physically after a couple of years of menopause and threat of diabetes, and then the operation.... so I enrolled for 6 weeks. I am a Muslim woman so normal gyms were not ideal for me, and the over 40s, women only clientele was a real blessing. I am just finishing up my 6th week and have noticed many improvements in my joints and strength and mental health. The trainers, office staff are members are really friendly, welcoming and helpful. I had a week off for sickness and they allowed me to make up that week without any extra cost. I am unable to stay on sadly because of financial insecurity but I hope that this experience has given me the boost I needed to continue my training and fitness independently. I can recommend this gym very highly as the environment is perfect, quiet, comfortable and supportive. It would be nice if there were more women trainers but as it is, they are professional and allow you to go at your own pace, offering personalised programmes with alot of encouragement and nutrition advice aswell. I am really pleased I was able to access this help and will miss attending the classes.

2024-05-30T12:17:48.743Z

Very good team of people..nothing too much trouble. Felt comfortable in the groups and everyone is encouraging. Highly recommend.

2024-05-27T07:18:12.794Z

Joined 6 weeks ago, best experience that I have had at a gym, everything is tailored to you, non judgmental whatever point you are starting from. Instructors very patient!
