"In spite of her broken "wing" Joan[Malchow] managed to keep her flock on track and working hard on our bellies and butts. She keeps us motivated and is an inspiration to us all. I never knew that hard would could be so much fun. I am looking forward to the next session with her."
-Angie Leamann (about Bottoms Up class, October 2011)
"Great pace. Strong encouragement throughout. Clear explanations of each activity. Good mix of exercises. The class challenged me to work out harder than I do when I am on my own using the circuit."
-Melanie Phillips (about Strong Woman class taught by Joan Brame, October 2011)
"Heather[Walker] is a wonderful instructor. The variety and pace of the exercises were very good. I was able to progress to heavier weights, which was quite rewarding. I plan to take the class again."
-Madeline Monheit (about Intructional Resistance class, October 2011)
"I want to thank all of my friends and staff at Empower Fitness for helping me get into the best physical shape I have been in for the last twenty years. I was put on dialysis for kidney failure in 2007. My kidney function at that time was 12%; at my last visit to Bucks County Kidney Specialists, I found out that I am now at 16%. The doctor told me this was very rare and gives full credit to my workout at the gym and weight loss. I could not have done this without the help, encouragement, and support from everyone I come in contact with since the first day I joined this wonderful gym. Joan and the rest of the staff have modified all of their classes and workouts to fit my personal needs and never made me feel like a failure when I could not do some of the exercises. My daughter also joined in Jan 2010 and has been a constant support for me. We both have found different groups that we fit into for our own different needs but can enjoy this experience together.
Thank you again,"

" I think this is the stretching class that I took one day when Joan invited me to join the class. I had shoveled a lot of snow the day before and was very sore. I took this class and it was fabulous. My body felt so much better afterwards. I think the only body part we didn't stretch was our ears. GREAT!! "

"One thing for sure at Empower Fitness, I feel pain free because of exercising there. Even when my discipline does not take the weight off, I can easily get about the world because of going to your space. That is worth a LOT...and I appreciate it beyond words."
Maureen Quinn (10-28-10)
"The Flat Belly Class (last night) was excellent. Thanks for sharing your information. Actually all of the classes this month were great!! I appreciate your ongoing concern for our overall health!! Thanks again"

"The Evening of Breast Health event last night was great. What a testimony to building community partnerships. You are always out there making them for Empower. I just loved it. Dr. Hoppenfeld and learning about the breast cancer navigation program made me feel good about Capital Health. Thanks for last night...it meant a lot to all of us"
Joan Malchow (10-21-10)
"Wanted to tell you how much I'm enjoying my Empower Fitness membership. When the convenient workout place less than two miles from my house closed, I was not looking forward to changing to a different gym all the way across town. What I thought would be a liability turned out to be an excellent opportunity.
The circuit equipment is similar to those in other gyms; but there are lots of treadmills and ellipticals and waits for this equipment is rare.
What distinguishes your gym from other gyms is the quality of the staff and the myriad of exercise classes. I'm taking my 2nd set of step classes with Marketta and she is doing a fantastic job. Right now I'm looking forward to finishing this round of classes to see what'll be offered next!!"
