Super Saturday

On Saturday February 5th 2011, Empower Personal Training held their first ever Superbowl boot camp. We had originally planned a flag football game at Forrest Hills park, but it was canceled due to extreme weather conditions. However, that didn’t stop our brave athletes from getting up early on a Saturday morning for some hard work here in the studio. Check out a clip of the boot camp workout, which was led by Tom Stafford.

Never fear though, we hope to get everyone together for a make up football game in the near future.

Orlando Bloom trains at Empower Personal Training

While actor Orlando Bloom was in Durham filming the movie Main Street he trained here at Empower Personal Training.

Many of you were able to meet him or least pet his dog Sidi, who was often lounging around while Orlando was working out. We had fun getting to know Orlando (and Sidi) over the past month and he had a great experience training here. Orlando’s role as a small town police officer in the movie Main Street did not require any specific physique changes, but he embodies a lifestyle that we encourage all of our clients to embrace: complete with very regualar exercise and a well balanced diet. Orlando is used to training 4-5 times per week and he didn’t want his fitness regimen to be interrupted during his month-long stay in Durham.

Here’s what Orlando had to say about Empower!

I had such a great experience at EMPOWER. The trainers and staff balance kindness with professionalism. And I loved the functional style workouts. They’re as physical as anything I’ve tried. This studio really lives up to its name.

Thanks Orlando for choosing Empower Personal Training.
