5 Year Red Carpet Celebration!

Tuesday, August 31, 2010

“Ceeeeee-le-brate good times, c’mon!”

No, it’s not just a corny song you hear at weddings. Empower is celebrating its fifth anniversary!

Join us for our red carpet event on September 20th and 21st. Details can be found here.

We’ll be celebrating all the way through September with some great promotions as a means to reward our outstanding clients. You can purchase a 60 minute massage for $50 or purchase a 5 class pass card for only $50!

Finally, look out for our new Flip camera as we’ll be recording footage of our clients giving testimonials and doing exercises (with permission of course).

Empower’s Busy Weekend

Thursday, April 22, 2010

Last weekend the Empower team branched out into the community to support two great causes. In the morning we loaded up the Empower on the Move van and headed to the American Tobacco District in support of Girls on the Run. We set up three different fitness challenges including a bosu station, a weighted ball toss and the agility ladder. Participants could “win” a piece of bubble gum for each fitness challenge she completed. Needless to say the gum was big hit! Thank you for all the wonderful volunteers that organized this race and big congratulations goes out to all the girls that competed in the 5K. Check out some of our pictures from the morning on our flickr page.

After a quick lunch at the up and coming Beyu Caffe in downtown Durham we headed over to 704 Carroll Street to work with Grace Oddone and Grace Couchman and several other volunteers to frame the entire inside of a Habitat for Humanity House. This was Empower’s second volunteer experience with Habitat for Humanity as a team. We don’t want to brag on ourselves too much but we were told that this is the first time ever that an entire house had been framed in one day. Now that’s what I call a functional workout.

Thank you to the Oddone- Couchman family for organizing this awesome experience.
