First of all I HATED GYMS. I hated laying on the floor for any reason. I “stumbled”across empyrea and fortunately I reached out to Carl; from the first conversation over the phone I knew something would be different. One of the reasons gyms fail in their approach is that they don’t prioritize individual needs, at empyrea that was a first! I was pleasantly surprised such that I didn’t mind laying on the floor eventually, lol Carl is not pushy. At a point I had no idea how much this would cost but I felt at home and I knew this is going to be my place (unusually so) Empyrea checks all the boxes and in my opinion the work and effort will really not be fully paid for monetarily. I’m just so glad empyrea exists and Carl is exactly how he is and what people need because he has the real desire to help people.

What can I say about this place that somebody in the reviews already hasn’t? There’s a reason for all of these raving reviews. Empryrea is more then a gym, it’s a community…a place where everyone knows your name. If your looking to change your habits and lifestyle look no further. Carl exudes positivity day in and day out which is beyond infectious and incredibly motivating. At Empyrea you’ll work with Carl to tailor a program to meet both your physical and mental health goals. Limiting factors, behavior goals, diet and supplements are all tracked monthly so you can truly have a 360 view into your improvements beyond the scale (but seeing the shift in body composition ain’t bad either :) I’ve been here a year and can’t imagine going anywhere else. I love the progress I’ve made and the new friendships I’ve built here even outside of the gym and can thank Carl for that! Look no further Empryrea is theeee spot.

If you’re thinking about joining Empyrea Fitness… DO IT! I have been training there for the past 3 months and it has been such a great experience. Carl is super knowledgeable about all things fitness; from form on exercises to the nutrition piece that is so crucial to success. As someone who has experience training in the gym and in sports, I can confidently say that Carl is the best coach! He’s motivating and fun, but also not too intense where you feel you don’t belong if you can’t do something. His style of workouts is creative, well balanced and easy to stick with. He will continue to challenge you no matter what level you are or make modifications if needed. The atmosphere is welcoming and you will truly feel a part of a team. If you’re reading this, I hope to see you at Empyrea soon!!

There’s something about the workouts that makes you want to come back. My partner and I joined last year and even being sore after our first workout, we came back and asked for more! Haha! But seriously, Carl is the greatest fitness coach! He’s patient, motivated, excited, focused and he definitely knows how to teach!! He’s also very knowledgeable of his craft and makes all the routines interesting and fun! The training group is also a great support system! Outside the gym, we join other fitness things (fun runs, bike tour, etc) which makes it inclusive and welcoming! We have an awesome group for sure! We don’t lose or gain instantly but dang, it works! The workouts work!! I also love the nutrition coaching sessions because it covers EVERYTHING about yourself - food, habits, mental health, overall well-being, goals, etc! I’m glad I found my fitness place and I know for sure in every workout I do, I won’t have to do it on my own. Let’s go Empyrea!

I love working out at Empyrea because it keeps me going and helps me to stay on track with my fitness and lifestyle in general. Carl and Enrique are great trainers and they care so much about everyone. Everyone at the gym always keep you motivated. The workouts are killer, but they’re fun and they make you feel amazing after each session. Moreover, the lifestyle and nutrition coaching offered with the membership really keeps you focused and helps you attain your fitness goals! Really love coming to this gym! Totally recommend it!

Carl & the Empyrea Team have been nothing short of amazing since I started training with them! I thoroughly enjoy the workouts & the vibe/energy in the gym is electric! Everyone really wants each other to succeed & give it their all. Carl regularly gives positive feedback & makes you feel like he is genuinely invested in you not only through training but through his detailed nutrition coaching too! He very happily modifies exercises for you as well, if something is not to your level just yet. I can't thank Carl enough & highly recommend Empyrea!!

Empyrea Group Training is an amazing place to improve your health! Carl is an incredible trainer who really knows his stuff. The workouts are challenging and have me leaving feeling accomplished. The included nutrition coaching also really help put goals in place to work towards! Overall I have had a great experience here and I would recommend Empyrea to anyone!

I really enjoyed working out at Empyrea. It promotes a total lifestyle change that helps achieve your fitness goals. Carl is a great trainer and the environment is really welcoming. It has all the things you would want out of a group fitness class. There is so much variety in the day to day workouts. It's always in a controlled environment. Carl the trainer keeps you focused and corrects your form for maximum results. He also offers nutrition coaching which is a key element to any fitness program. This is a great place and I recommend it.

I’m so happy I joined Empyrea! I’ve been training for almost 2 months and in such a short amount of time I have seen a great improvement in my strength and endurance. I used to be significantly more active, but with life changes & “pandemic” weight I really needed to get back on track. This was proven more difficult with lower back pain, which was most likely from working remote (sitting most of the day). Once I began feeling better, I started looking up local gyms and came across Empyrea. From the moment I submitted a request more information, I took note of how professional Carl was. He got right back to me and we chatted on the phone about what my goals were and how Empyrea would help me achieve them. After talking to him, I felt confident and decided to try out a class and I loved it! What’s also great about Empyrea are the monthly nutrition sessions. Carl is very knowledgeable and looks at the overall wellness rather than focusing on just losing weight. During my last session I already saw a decrease in body fat & an increase in muscle. Empyrea is a place where the trainers genuinely care about your progress and they meet you where you are at. When you walk in, you don’t just swipe a membership card, you are welcomed by name and something that small automatically makes you feel more comfortable in what can be an overwhelming environment. Would highly recommend!
