I've worked with dozens of personal trainers/doctors/physical therapists and gyms of all sorts, so believe me when I say that Empower Lift is the BEST FIND OF MY LIFE. I do not give this review lightly; if anything, I tend to understate things. This gym isn't the biggest, but it has absolutely everything you need (and then some) and it has something that is incredibly rare -- trainers who know what the **** they're talking about. No amount of sparkly amenities will be able to replace proper coaching on how to move and improve your body naturally. This place is a one-stop shop when it comes to every facet of your well-being from training, to physical therapy, to bodywork, to recovery. Empower Lift expertly addresses every step in the cycle. And that's the magic of this place -- training for improvement and therapy for problems are not two separate disciplines. If your physical trainer can't help with injury recovery, their training methods will probably lead to injury. If your physical therapist can't personally lift a respectable amount of weight, I'd wager they won't actually be able to address injuries that came from improper form. If your massage therapist hasn't hasn't trained for competitions before, do you really trust them to find those knots? I won't go into the boring details of my prior physical maladies, but the gist is that I had pain and imbalances in my movements that years of visits to doctors, physical therapists, trainers, and quacks of all sorts did nothing to improve. Cut to one year of training at Empower Lift and I'm pain-free, I'm moving symmetrically, and I'm stronger AND sexier than ever before. Save yourself the time. Save yourself the money. Save yourself the future injuries and frustration and sleepless nights of regret. Sign up to Empower Lift and learn to improve yourself the correct way. read more

Don't get suckered. The worst year I have ever experienced. I've been part of many corporate gyms and decided to join something more interactive "like a crossfit". They may seem like your knights and shining armor but really they are just show to suck you in to there crashing/freeloading gym. They are constantly depending on there members to donate more money on top of what we already pay for them to "maybe buy used equipment." For the coaches/owners who teach at this gym, Robert Rosado, a graduate from Barry university with a degree in sports psychology is not your ideal owner. This man doesn't know his knee bone from his funny bone. I don't mean to bash this man so harshly but as a working professional, to work in the business please know the business. If you decide to join the gym be ready for the owners personal altercations to occur during your workout. Not all intimate relationships work well, but theirs doesn't work at all. For Michelle Libasci words may not even justify what is needed to be said for someone like this. Michelle is a high school graduate, with no background in nutrition or body building however, she's always a know it all. If your a doctor going to this gym be ready to be offended when she explains that your blood type affects the food that you should be eating. Though research by scientists have proven this fad to be false such as Webmd. For all these reasons and more join at your own risk. read more

Work on building strength or losing weight, it all happens at Empower Lift! It has become one of my favorite places where I can exercise, relax and make friends. This boutique gym offers a selection of options for you to come in and enjoy the training. I started with no knowledge of powerlifting and Olympic weightlifting. Within just 4 months, I have seen a huge improvement in my muscle strength. Gym owners Michell and Robert are professional trainers who use their years of experience and knowledge to help me set and achieve my fitness goals. Besides group classes, Michell and Robert also provide personal trainings including nutrition and body treatment. They work one on one with you to keep you motivated and educated while providing you the most effective way to reach your fitness goals. If you want effective workouts, if you're tired of "commercial" gym, if you enjoy training with coaches who treat you as their friends and family, Empower Lift will be your right choice! BTW, I realize that I don't have any photos of the gym, LOL! When I was there, I only focused on training! Hope this review can help you make decisions. Look forward to seeing you there! read more

Empower Lift has to be one of the best gyms I have ever been a part of. I must say, I have always been a healthy and athletic person, but I had never considered weightlifting or any crossfit style of training. At first, it was a scary thought. As most girls are, I was afraid to get too "big" or "bulky". I was terrified to look like this Hulk woman, and scared of getting hurt... Empower Lift really changed my entire mindset! With my amazing trainers Rob & Michelle, I had constant support and guidance throughout all of my workouts. Although I work out during group sessions, it feels like personal training. My trainers are constantly watching my form and pushing me to reach my goals. My body is looking the best it has ever looked! Being at the gym for me is like being around friends and family. We all motivate each other and encourage one another. Joining the Empower Lift team has been the best decision I have ever made when it comes to my fitness and overall health. If you have plateaued at previous gyms or just can't seem to see any changes in your figure, maybe it's time to ignore the weightlifting stereotypes. It might just change your life. read more

I had rotator cuff surgery on my left shoulder and was in a sling for 6 weeks. My healthy arm and shoulder were very sore from so much use but I was hesitant for any type of massage because of the surgery. Robert and I spoke about what I was looking for and my concerns. He clearly understood the situation and I completely trusted he knew what he was doing. I felt such relief after just one session. He has a great understanding of how the body works and his touch was the perfect pressure. 6 weeks of stress were gone when I left! I saw him again for the operative shoulder once I started PT. Therapy was difficult at first due to the tightness of the surrounding muscles. He was able to release these areas and allowed me to focus on healing the surgery site. I am a yoga instructor and my physical health is crucial. Without a doubt, Robert is one of the best therapists I have ever worked with. His knowledge, friendliness, and love of his work are apparent and I highly recommend him to anyone. read more

Went in to see Rob for bodywork after having a lot of issues with my shoulder(s) and limited mobility that is out of character for me as an Olympic lifter. First of all he did a great job accommodating an appointment for me when I reached out to him pretty last minute. He did an amazing job assessing my body and identifying where I was having issues. And also was great at communicating everything to me so I could understand what he was doing. I could not believe how much he was able to accomplish in this one appointment, releasing my shoulder issue and also releasing my lower tight back, glutes, and other areas that were causing issues. He really knows his stuff, his rates are incredibly reasonable, and he is definitely my new go-to to help me keep my body moving the way it can and should. read more

Out of every option available to get a good workout, whether it be another gym or doing it alone, Empower Lift is working for me. Not only that but I see it working for others. Robert and Michele are amazing and are more than willing to work with everybody to be the version of you they know you can be. They're not about making everybody huge. It's about being fit and happy with how you look. I've been going for more than 6 months and the change is noticeable. I feel better, I have more stamina, more strength, and my wife likes the way I look. Don't bother going anywhere else or doing it alone. This is where you need to go! read more

The best gym ever. And I'm not just saying that for a review - I really mean it. Michelle and Rob (the owners) make you feel like the gym is your home. I have seen exponential growth in my fitness journey and they really focus on people individually which is something you don't really see at many gyms. They know what they're doing and will make you feel comfortable & strong & you will see that everyone at the gym is a family. If you're thinking about trying it out - DO IT. You shouldn't even have to think about it! I promise. :) read more

Empower Lift is an awesome gym to train at for kids and adults of all ages. I have been training at the gym a little over 6-7 month now and I love it. Both Rob and Michelle are both phenomenal trainers in all aspects from giving nutritional advice, working on techniques, and most importantly, giving you that boost of confidence we all sometimes need to hear during and after a workout. Everyone at the gym are awesome people, it's safe to say they are like family to me. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a gym to train at. read more

What can I say?! Michelle and Rob are the best!! It's a bootcamp/crossfit style, that pushes you to your limits and makes sure you get your quality work out in. If you are lacking motivation, they are definitely who you need. They are understanding, caring and all about you being the best version you can be Even though I have a love/hate relationship for working out, they make sure to get my butt in the gym no matter what. If you haven't received a call/text from them yet, its just because you haven't signed up!! read more

I go to empower gym mainly for the physical therapy service that they offer. The owner/PT Robert Rosado is not only massively qualified but incredibly experience in his profession. I have been Olympic weightlifting for 2 years now and still going strong and healthy in large part thanks to his ability to identify my issue and take as much time as is necessary to fix me up. I personally do not train in his gym but am hugely jealous of the facility and all the amazing training equipment he has available. read more

I took advantage of my trip from MD to Miami to take a massage with Rob, it was the best decision ever!!! As a Olympic weightlifter athlete and with my experience in different countries this has been one of the best, no only talking about massage but about rehab. Rob helped me with my left shoulder mobility and other issues that was giving me a hard time during my workouts. The evidence about how effective it was is my PR next day in Power Clean. I wish having access to his therapy more often. read more

The owners of this facility take no shortcuts to increasing your bodies mobility & flexibility. They're always broadening their horizon by learning new techniques and obtaining skills thru various programs to better suit your bodies need. Ever wondered what it felt like having a supportive staff? Look no further, at Empower Lift, I can ensure you - You're more than just a customer or client, you're treated as family and every advice is given so that you can live your BEST life. read more

Robert and Michelle are amazing. Michelle helped me with my diet and got me into new healthy eating habits which turned my life and health around 180 degrees. Robert helped me with getting into shape, started 4 years ago, and I will be forever thankful. My life has changed for the better and healthier. These two are the best. Wish I could give more than 5 stars, 10 stars! Greetings, Peter Niemann, Sunny Isles Beach. read more

I've gone to numerous therapist none have been as thorough and detailed oriented as Rob. His assessments of previous injuries, discomforts, pain are gathered and analyzed prior to your session. He'll put an emphasis on any specific area on the body that needs extra work. His sessions are definitely worth the investment. And you'll be shocked how well you'll feel when it's done. read more

Empower lift is very welcoming and fully committed to helping their clients. Very genuine staff. After every visit I felt like a new person. Was able to perform better as an athlete because Robert helped stretched, scrape, cupped and massage the knots and sore tissues I had. Highly recommend for every athlete and even if your just an individual that would like a body fix up. read more

Empower Lift is an awesome place to workout! They work you to the bone, but at the same time there is a great vibe that makes your workout experience enjoyable.

I just started and i am already hooked, can't wait to go tomorrow!!!! read more
