Testimonials
I can't say enough good things about Empire Gym and their awesome staff. Everyone is friendly and helps you anytime you need it. Coming from someone that never went to a gym and was intimidated because I knew nothing about working out. The staff explained everything I needed to know and I feel more comfortable around all the equipment. Also Mary is a kick ass personal trainer. She not only explains how to do everything correctly she explains why you are doing. I will recommend them to everyone I know.

I’ve written off gym-life for years (ok decades lol)… Too many reasons to list, but never found one I was truly comfortable in … Empire Gym is absolutely amazing! Truly a game-changer! As a whole it has a different vibe for gyms than I’m used to… it’s welcoming and positive the moment you step inside… waaaay better feeling than going to the Y!!!
