“My life changed for the better when I met Emma in January 2012 and started training with the emPowerfx crew”

hen I started training, just doing the 400m warm up lap left me puffing and gasping for air! One of the first things I told Emma was about a recurring dream I had where I was a great runner and could run long distances. Running was something I thoroughly detested and was terrible at. This, I now realise is because these are the messages I was telling myself. Your thoughts become your reality and Emma encouraged me to challenge myself, my thinking and made me believe I could achieve whatever I set my mind to. I am proud to say that in June 2013 I completed my first Half Marathon (21.1km) in the Cairns Half Ironman team event. My next goal will be a full marathon (42.2km) run in 2014. Emma is not just a personal trainer but more of a life coach who is genuinely passionate about helping you become the best version of yourself and makes you realise that anything is really possible if you believe it is. Emma is always there to provide support, motivation and inspiration along your journey to achieving your goals. I am truly lucky to have found such a warm-hearted, genuine and inspiring person. I cannot speak highly enough about training with emPowerfx. If you want to join a great bunch of people who are welcoming, supportive, encouraging and enjoy having a laugh, then you must come and join us. We’re not just a training group, we are like a family. Not only will you meet an amazing bunch of people and create some great friendships, you will also become a happier, healthier, and fitter version of yourself.
“If you like the idea of group training with a bunch of like-minded people seeking fitness and fun, then emPowerfx is definitely for you”

“There has been a smile on my face ever since crossing that 70.3 Ironman finish line”

or many I had been overweight, unfit,unmotivated and not particularly happy. I had tried several diets and started many exercise programs that always started promisingly, then seemed to lose steam after a month or so. At 31 years of age and weighing 107 kilos, as well as having high blood pressure, I bought an exercise bike and managed to lose 7 kilos. Needing something more , I enquired to Emma Miller at emPowerfx about boxing fitness classes, as I had always been interested in boxing. Emma & Meagan were friendly, welcoming and very helpful with challenging routines and advice on safe and correct training. One session a week has now turned into five sessions a week that include boxing and BootCamp, which are regularly held in different outdoor locations and provide a great atmosphere for exercising. Now at 32, and weighing 90 kilos, my diet and medical condition is completely under control. I’m even attempting triathlons, which is something I never dreamed I would be capable of ! emPowerfx and their friendly training crew have provided me with fitness, friendship, healthy lifestyle and the ability to achieve my goals, even though it sometimes hurts!! For the first time in my life, I actually feel alive!! P.S – I hate mountain climbers ;)

mma has been with me ever since I decided to go on the roller coaster to a better, healthier lifestyle. When things going great she was there, things not so great she was there. Then the comfort zone theory came along and boy did Ms Miller take me out of that. You could see the whites of my eyes, and probably still see a little bit there because I’m permanently there now achieving things, I always watched other people do and thought nawh I can’t do that. Well, it appears there is no such thing as “can’t” only can do with Emma. Being part of Coral Coast and 70.3 Ironman teams was my total break point. Yep, whites totally showing thinking there is no way could do that swim, I was going to be eaten by a croc, or swam over or, or, or. Yep all the excuses counted up until Emma said yep it’s going to be hard, but you can do it. She believed in me when I didn’t and slowly week after week, tears (oh yeah there were tears) and smiles, it started to come together. There has been a smile on my face ever since crossing that 70.3 Ironman finish line. A little bit, thank gawd that’s over, but then there is a huge part; I did it, holy dolly batman (kids might read this I have to keep it clean) I did it. On crappy days I think about that day and all hard work went in to achieve it, smile and you know what….what’s next I say, and hopefully get over this mid life crises soon. Over time Emma and Empowerfx crew have become family, support you in good and bad times. Emma is there to chuck you out of the comfort zone and achieve things you never thought possible. It’s an adventure but one worth jumping on board for because you won’t look back because you won’t need too, a very special person will be there supporting you all the way.
have been training with Emma and Meagan for 3 years….everything from BootCamp & core sessions, to boxing & multi day fitness retreats. What began as a casual trial of various fitness sessions has resulted in a long lasting and sustained commitment to keeping fit with emPowerfx. Right from the start, I recognised qualities in Emma and her team that drew me in, with their positive energy, deep sense of commitment to individual’s needs, professionalism and natural coaching style. They also clearly loved their jobs. Whilst Emma’s knowledge, work ethic, coaching talent and passion for fitness are clearly evident, it is her sincere warmth, sense of humour & sheer enthusiasm that keeps people coming back, year after year. She has a natural ability to bring out the best in people both physically and mentally, helping people achieve mind and body balance. There’re lots of words to describe Emma Miller and her emPowerfx team – motivational, inspiring, dynamic, generous – but the thing that stands out for me is her sincerity and genuine desire to get people excited about feeling good. I’m proud to be part of the empPowerfx crew and to say that Coach Miller is not only an awesome coach, but a great mate.
“It is difficult to explain how much your life will change when you meet Emma Miller and start training with the Empowerfx crew. Every person in the team is so welcoming, supportive and ready to step out of their comfort zone.”
efore 2013, I considered myself to be healthy and fit. However, I would never step out of my comfort zone, purely because I thought I was at my best. Like many people, I would often compare myself to other people and consider their fitness and confidence impossible for someone like me. I started a training programme with Emma in January 2013, which incorporated boot camps and a schedule leading up to an Olympic Distance triathlon in June. My fitness, and more importantly, my confidence, improved dramatically! I started to achieve things that I never thought possible, trust in my abilities, and wake up every morning being so inspired by myself and my teammates. It is easy when you train with such supportive people like the Empowerfx team, being led by such an incredible woman, Emma Miller. I feel like a new person after training with the Empowerfx team. Physically, I have improved beyond belief; finishing my first Olympic distance triathlon and completing a 90km bike ride in Cairns 70.3. But beyond this, I have gained mental strength, determination and confidence in myself that never existed. The Empowerfx team and Emma are exactly that...Empowering. I now truly believe that anything is possible. If you are ready to test your limits, try something new for the first time in a supportive environment or start believing in yourself, this is for you! There are a great variety of classes and times, fantastic coaches and life changing team.
