I suffered from several herniated discs, and Lou helped me strengthen my muscles and get me back into the gym and back into the rhythm of moving again. I would recommend his services to everybody.

First time doing a float session. Lou was super professional and answered all the questions I could come up with. The float itself was nothing short of magical - I don't know that I've ever been able to get that much "out of my own head" as I did in that hour. Definitely recommend trying to anyone not medically contraindicated, and will be going back myself soon!

I am an exercise specialist and personal trainer from the UK with 18 years experience. In those 18 years I have only met a small handful of personal trainers I would happily send my own family or friends too. Lou Dechello at Empower is very high on that list. Lou is a wealth of knowledge, with an excellent set up. Quite honestly Lou and his work at Empower are leading the way for professional personal training. Highly recommended.

Had a pod float experience. I found it easier to get in and out in comparison to the pool. The float room is very private and I enjoyed my experience. The Manager Lou was very pleasant and informative. I’ll return soon.

A few years back, Lou helped me get into shape prior to my wedding and when I wanted to lose the 'baby weight' after my first son was born. After my second son was born in 2020, I knew I wanted to work out with Lou again!

Having a newborn at home during a global pandemic, I wasn't quite sure that I should be going to a gym and potentially putting my family at risk. Lou quickly put me at ease by informing me we would wear masks during our workouts and he would maintain his distance at all times. Before my first session, he showed me the various sanitization products he uses after each client leaves and was excited to share that he had an air purifier installed in the ventilation system.

Over the years, Lou has created thoughtful workouts that are fun and do not aggravate my pre-existing knee injury. He is not a pushy salesman who tries to sell you sessions you do not need. He helps you reach your goals and offers words of encouragement along the way. God willing, I'll be back after baby #3.

Thanks for everything, Lou! Who knew working out could be fun!

If you are looking for a knowledgeable, intuitive and dedicated trainer, Lou is your guy. He explains each exercise thoroughly and ensures you're performing it correctly to avoid injuries. Lou is quick to offer a modification or slowly increases the level of intensity to optimize the exercise. Lou is both professional and personal which enhances each session. One of my goals is to increase mobility. Lou incorporates stretches and exercises that I can do at home or in the office. After working with Lou for only a few weeks I've noticed a difference. I highly recommend Lou to assist you meeting your fitness goals.. Thanks Lou, I appreciate and value our sessions.

Lou is a fantastic personal trainer! He takes the time to really get to know his clients, helping them assess and meet their fitness goals in the best way possible while considering any physical limitations. I always feel so motivated and yes, even “empowered,” after one of my sessions with him. My cardiologist recommended strength training for me, and Lou’s set up fits the bill perfectly. He is an inspiring coach who constantly encourages me and recognizes my efforts with positive reinforcement. I know this training is the best possible gift I can give to myself. And I feel totally safe and secure in his clean and airy one-on-one studio. I am in my seventies, and I plan to continue my twice weekly sessions with Lou for as long as I am able move!

I told myself that I was going into Empowerment to satisfy my curiosity, little did I know that I would form such a trusting and professional relationship with Lou. I have many obstacles in my way to being physically fit, but with Lou I feel like I will get there...slow and steady.

I've been training with Lou, and now Empower, for over 3 years. His approach and ability to tailor the session based on the evolving needs of my joints and muscles, is fantastic. Lou takes a "full body" approach and comes up with multiple ways to go after the results you're looking for. After not being able to sleep because my shoulder joints hurt so badly for an entire ski season, Lou came up with a workout that now has me able to sleep soundly and throw a baseball with my son.

I had the opportunity of visiting Empower this week for their first time float special. Doing anything for the first time can be a little unsettling, but Lou really put my mind at ease and did a thorough job of explaining all of the steps to have the most enjoyable, beneficial experience. It was so relaxing that I actually FELL ASLEEP!! I left the gym feeling so rejuvenated. Will be buying a package for sure! Can’t wait to come back, thanks Empower!

Lou and I have been training together for over a year. In that period of time, he has helped to transform me both physically and mentally. He is extremely knowledgeable, thorough, and dedicated. Each session is catered to my specific goals while motivating me to push myself. The space is very clean and well organized. The float pod experience was simply amazing! I would recommend him and Empower!!

After having a long battle with Lyme disease my doctor recommended that I exercise but I was too self conscious to go to a big chain gym that was packed with a lot of people.

Luckily, I ran into a friend that told me about Lou so I gave it a shot.  It was one of the best decisions I've ever made. Lou is in a league of his own. His idea of having float pods at the same location as his gym is ingenious.

He makes my workouts fun, challenging and creative that are tailored to my needs. He places a high value on correct form with each exercise and creates a comfortable atmosphere while getting results I never knew were possible.

Lou has played a significant role in helping me fight through chronic pain from Lyme. If you're serious about changing your life for the better Lou is the person to go to.

And the float pods are amazing! They get you zoned out from the rest of the world to the point of total relaxation. It's the only therapy that's helped ease any of my Lyme related pain to the point to where I no longer need to wear Lidocaine patches.

Lou, I can't thank you enough for putting your all into everything you do!!

Lou will design a program specific to your goals, your ability, and limitations. Lou has the knowledge to work around injuries, and nagging aches and pains, he is skilled at preventing injury, and help in recovery from injuries. I’ve seen Lou help many people reach, and maintain their fitness goals.

Lous track record speaks for itself. He has attended numerous trainings and continuously is looking for cutting edge ways to improve the wellness of his clients. He tailors workouts to your needs and also looks for ways to enhance and make sure you are getting everything you need to help better your workout plan. I strongly recommend Lou as a personal trainer. The knowledge and tailored approach to his works outs are second to none.
