Two years ago after watching the movie Rocky, my eleven-year-old son became obsessed with all things boxing. How fortunate for our family that Empowering Punch had just opened it's doors! We enrolled him in the Youth Boxing program and have watched him develop into an extremely fit, and confident young man under Paul's instruction. He has now "graduated" to adult classes and remains enthusiastic about participating. It has been exciting as a parent to watch him grow and hone his skills. For two years I sat and watched the classes. I enjoyed the Camaraderie of the other parents while trying to get up the nerve and ambition to join in. Recently I decided to jump in with both feet and am currently enrolled in personal training with Joe and have started taking classes too! I am hooked! I LOVE the Fitness Boxing class and have tried several others as well. They are ALL great! I'm just sorry it took me so long to get started! Thanks to the wonderful facility the well-educated staff and the supportive environment. I am getting fit and gaining confidence in my abilities like never before! I am so happy to be part of the Empowering Punch "family"! Thank you Empowering Punch! Jackie Ross read more

Introduced to Empowering Punch via a Groupon 6 months ago so I could take their TRX suspension training classes as strength training and core stability for my golf game, I fell in love with their Fitness Boxing classes. Fitness boxing, an authentic boxing workout, is the one workout that makes me 'sweat'! While challenging and exhilarating, the workout doesn't feel like a workout, but certainly does provide the desired results. Trainers ensure beginners 'learn the how's/basics' with one-on-one instructions before they start and monitor all participants within the classes to make sure they continue with correct form. Sessions within the 'boxing ring' provide a true 'rush'. Most importantly, besides being friendly and nice people, the trainers and staff care about everyone's wellbeing . This past September, they partnered with Cleveland Clinic and other medical staff to hold a Wellness Program which was my reality wakeup. I am thankful I tried something out of my comfort zone and have now found my go-to fitness center - just ask my staff and friends that I bring with me now! read more

I am a former challenger from the 6 week challenge I completed just a little over two weeks ago. I lost 28.7 pounds in six weeks & 6.2 % body fat. Now let me tell you I was at first a little skeptical about it but the trainers there are so encouraging, Matt the accountability coach is amazing and he's with you every step of the way just like the trainers. It's a good motivating atmosphere I would highly recommend for anyone trying to better yourself and get a " new you ". I am now personal training with Coach Mikey he is amazing, to better my self more and hit more goals along the way. You'll feel once you start seeing results, it becomes an addiction just like I did!! I pushed myself , the trainers helped push me and my family to being the first female ever to hit both body fat and weight loss now let me tell you I would have never pictured myself conquering a fitness challenge but if you have a little bit of a competitive bone in your bone plus the right mind set never giving up on yourself you will crush this competition like the rest of us !! read more

Just finished my 6-week challenge with 27.9 lbs and a 7.4% body fat loss. I just want to say that I feel great physically and mentally. When I started this challenge I could barely walk a 14min mile, today I ran 2 miles in under 18 min. When I started I have not done any physical activity in years. That is all thanks to this amazing challenge. I will be the first to tell you that it is not easy, but if it as easy it wouldn't be called a challenge. I stuck to the program every step of the way and I had great support from the staff and fellow challengers. The classes are hard and fun, they push you to your limit and encourage you to break what you think that limit is with each class. You walk out of each class feeling accomplished and with a smile on your face. What matters the most is that they don't do this challenge to make money, they do this challenge because they are really motivated to help anyone to get in better health. Best part is if you don't believe me take the challenge for yourself and be proved wrong because I was. read more

I recently completed the 6-Week Challenge and I can honestly say that this was one of the best decisions I ever made. The past few years, I really struggled with exercise because I never found anything that I actually enjoyed doing... well I FOUND IT! I took mostly Fitness Boxing and Kickboxing, but both classes kicked my butt every time (in a good way!). Each trainer runs their classes differently in terms of exercises, music, pace, etc., which makes each class unique and exciting. The accountability coaches make sure to periodically check up on the challengers, encouraging them to ask questions and come to them with any concerns and they're always willing to help you through it and keep you motivated! I lost a total of 13 pounds in 6 weeks and i'm so excited to continue this journey with Empowering Punch. I 100% recommend them to anyone who is like me and could just never find that one program or routine that helped them with their fitness goals. Empowering Punch will get you there! read more

I've been going to EP for about a year and a half now. The fitness boxing is by far the best workout I've ever gotten. And it's highly addictive. I never was really a fan of group fitness classes, partly because of the intimidation factor, the cattiness at some gyms, and really just feeling like a number. But there is none of that here. It's like getting a personal training session during every class you take. Paul and Danyl are wonderful and they, along with the other trainers, work with you as a group and INDIVIDUALLY to make sure that you are getting the most out of your workout. They know everyone by name and they know what, if any, physcial challenges you're facing. From the staff to the members, everyone here is like family. This a gym unlike any other. And did I mention that the fitness boxing class is by far the best workout ever. I leave they're exhausted and feeling like I really got a great workout. read more

Plain and simple, I just love this place. I'm the type who gives up on the gym after about two months of going- I never felt comfortable, I didn't know anyone, didn't know what I was doing- so I'd leave. Then I walked in to empowering punch- I was petrified and so outside my comfort zone, but I did it, and it is literally the best decision I have ever made. The staff all know the clientele by name, they know your goals and are always willing to help and give one on one attention. They actually seem to care about me and what I am trying to accomplish. The classes are group setting which I love bc it takes all the guess work out of it. They are HARD, but FUN! Everything can be modified, and the best part- no one is judgey!! I recommend this place to anyone and everyone. If you are reading this, take the plunge and try a free class, you won't be disappointed. read more

If anyone is ready to start enjoying working out and living a healthier lifestyle this is the place to be. There are so many good things to say about empowering punch. The staff and trainers are friendly and motivating. You learn to eat correctly and stay consistent with your individual fitness journey. The classes never get boring and there are many types of classes you can take and you never feel intimidated, nothing but support from instructors. I was defiantly skeptical at first when they told me I could lose a certain amount of weight within a 6 week time frame. I came close to my goal weight of 25 lbs - clocked in at 23 and I followed everything they said .I don't recommend doing the 6 week challenge though I would put your money into their membership or private personal training sessions so if you don't complete your goal your not out of your money. read more

I would say skeptical was the best word to describe me before i started the six week challenge. After I started showing up for the classes, it felt like more of a family atmosphere, from the owners to the trainers and staff to your fellow workout buddies. No one passed any judgements everyone was very encouraging. The workouts are fun and they are able to modify the exercises to suit you. Everyone on the staff knew my name the first time I walked in for a class. I conquered the challenge, but I gained much more than that. I feel better, gained strength, flexibilty and developed a whole new support group. I never thought I would enjoy working out or exercise, but I actually love attending the classes. I would highly recommend signing up and giving Empowering Punch a try. You have nothing to lose but potentially a few pounds. read more

I LOVE EMPOWERING PUNCH! My friend suggested I try the fitness boxing class, after that class I was hooked. There are a variety of classes..something for everyone. The classes are challenging but fun. The instructors motivate you to push yourself harder to get the most out of every class. When I started personal training I thought I would just do it for 3 months, that was a year ago. The trainers push you to do things you never thought your body could do. Every workout is challenging. I can't believe the change in my body. I have lost weight and I am so much stronger than I was a year ago. The entire staff is friendly and welcoming, they seem to enjoy working there. The trainers are very knowledgeable about fitness and nutrition. Empowering Punch is a great place to work out. read more

I freaking LOVE this place!!!! I came the first week they opened and continuously came for about 3 years! When I moved over an hour away it sucked and I never found anything similar to this anywhere else. This past year I moved back to Medina and saw they were doing a 6 week challenge. I'm so glad that I did it. In 6 weeks I lost 18 pounds and gained so much confidence, energy, motivation, friends and truly found myself again! The trainers are amazing and so friendly! You do not feel intimidated or out of place ever. I think the owner, Paul has known me on a first name basis since the first class I ever came to 7 years ago! An excellent place, an exceptional workout and some of the best people (fellow punchers and trainers) you'll ever meet! read more

I have been working out at Empowering Punch sine August. I have never found a gym that is more personal than EP. The trainers and staff know you and actually care that you succeed. They give you the tools to improve your health and life. I am a personal training client and I can speak first hand at the success I have had. Not only have I dropped weight, I am truly beginning to see the amazing things my body is capable of. I would have never been able to see that if it weren't for my trainer, Brian. Sometimes, I think he has more confidence in me then I do. Starting at EP was the best decision for my health I could have made! read more

What an amazing experience! I have been working with Paul Scianna on the Empowering Punch Online Program and have lost 21 pounds in one month. If you ever want an excellent program from the comfort of your own home, this is it! Paul designed an easy to follow meal plan, online workouts for me. He kept in constant communication with me in a personal chat forum multiple times a day while maintain accountability and motivation. This is a no brainier, Empowering Punch will not allow you to fail!! Get off the couch, you will not be upset. Thank you Empowering Punch for helping me continue to reach for my goal! read more

This is the best workout ive ever had. The best part is the constant encouragement from the trainers. The really live what they preach. The workouts are tailored so that they are challenging, no matter where you are at physically. Ive lost 30 pounds since I started last july, and that was wieght that is staying off. Diet is a major focus, not just the excersise. Finally, I like going there for an hour or 2 to just forget about work pressures, and concentrate on my own health. My only suggestion would be to have something to encourage more real life boxing or sparring for those that want it. Great gym. Well run. read more

I boxed with Empowering Punch a few years ago. I absolutely loved the enviornment, loved the high energy, loved the full body workouts. October 30th, I joined a 6 week challenge. This journey came with a meal plan, personal contact with the trainors and a huge support system including a facebook page dedicated to all challengers. This program was well-planned and easy to follow. Was it all easy, no.... you have to work hard, come in with the right attitude and you will be successful. Great staff, great enviornment and great support remains the focus! I highly recommend this gym! read more

I can't even express how much I love going to Empowering Punch. I came there over a year ago with a friend and loved it so much that I signed up for a membership, and then I signed up for Personal Training. I have lost more than 30lbs and am on my way to losing more and building the type of body that I always wanted. The Classes are Fun and the Staff of Expert Trainers are positive, friendly, and always willing to help their members meet their goals. If you are sick of laying on the couch you should check them out...If you're willing to work you will Love Working out here. read more

I have participated in many fitness classes and held memberships at several gyms/rec centers over the years, but my interest and motivation always waned and then stalled. At Empowering Punch, it's not just about the exercise classes, it's about the staff truly caring about the clients, and knowing how to motivate each individual so they can achieve their best. The staff shares in my pride with accomplishments and supports me when I waver. I feel the staff at Empowering Punch has unlocked a desire in me, to keep working toward my goals, and this is a good feeling! read more

I am a bit over 60 and Empowering Punch was one of the best things that happened to me. I never felt that my age put me in a different catagory. They knew my limits and pushed me past them, always being conscious of my capabilities. I feel amazing and can't believe the things I can do. My strength and stamina have increased by leaps and bounds. If you are a bit older and want that "vim and vigor" back please try them out. You will have a great time and improve your health more than you could ever imagine. I also found that boxing is a wonderful stress reliever. read more

I just finished the six week challenge at Empowering Punch. I lost 33.5 pounds! I had never done anything like this before but I am so glad I did this. The staff is so welcoming and helpful. The trainers show you how to do the punches and exercises and how to modify for any ability level. I got the support and motivation I needed. They got me on the right path to eating healthy and being active. I now look forward to working out at Empowering Punch and will be continuing my fitness journey with them. I highly recommend Empowering Punch! read more
