Become healthier and more physically able with the dedicated help of a professional fitness and nutrition coach.

Get in great shape with a toned, active body you’re proud of with our effective, results-first programme based on strength and conditioning training.

Discover (or rediscover) your most positive mental and emotional self through challenges, achievements, and the support of our community.

At ETC, you come first. Always. Why else would we be here? We properly get to know you – as a person, your body, your abilities, your concerns and, not least, your fitness goals. When we chose the name Empowerment, we meant it.

We only use methods that work – not ones that leave you going around in circles. We combine proven science and carefully planned programmes with a committed focus on the individual to achieve genuine, often life-changing, results.

You’ll get continual support from our highly qualified coaches (that’s primarily Tim and Jack). You’ll never be left on your own to struggle or lose enthusiasm. We use a medium-sized group coaching method – it’s fun, it’s motivational, and it works wonders.

We call ourselves a Tribe. Walk-in, and you’ll feel it. We’re down-to-earth. We’re all friends. We work hard together. We encourage each other. We have great coffee. We have a fantastic Facebook group. And we have a laugh.

Fantastic experience: I’ve only been coming for a few weeks, but I love it. I came for the beer and pizza, stayed for the vibe and ethos. Perfect place for anyone who has found regular gyms to be lacking.

Fantastic experience: Coaches have made me feel better about myself. The have given me support, motivation and the drive to work hard at my goals through some tricky times. I have met some lovely people and everyone has been so kind, welcoming and helpful. Really supportive bunch of legends.

Heather Collins 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I only have one regret about ETC and that’s not joining when I first heard about it. I was so nervous but from the moment I walked in the doors I felt like I belonged there. I’m having a hard time personally right now and instead of turning to wine and Chinese I’m making sure I can get to sessions to feel good. The coaching team are all incredible in different ways, already have a clear favourite but they’re all fab . I have a long way to go with my fitness/health journey but I know that the ETC family will be there for me the whole way and beyond. If you want to find somewhere that will become a huge part of your life then don’t hesitate. 30 days and you’ll be hooked.

Fantastic experience: One thing you can guarantee at ETC is that the coaches will always by your side whether you’re a total beginner or an experienced athlete. Everybody gets the same effort and attention no matter their ability. They keep you accountable for every session and check in on you if your sessions start to slip. The service consistently goes much further than the gym and the community is second to none. Plus, we get pizza and beer on Fridays.

Nicola Hollowell 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Over the past few months the coach’s have helped me grow in confidence. I’m growing in to a stronger person both physically and mentally. Joining ETC has been one of the best decisions I’ve made for myself. I can honestly say I haven’t looked back since nervously walking through the door ! Everyday is a warm welcome

Alice Williams 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Oh I wish I lived closer!! What a fabulous gym with amazing coaches!!

Christine Idilbi 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: It’s my third week and I’ve already dropped fat and look way more sculpted. I absolutely love ETC. They clearly produce and maintain a friendly and warm environment within the gym and classes. At my old gym I felt a bit intimidated and found it challenging to find equipment that was not in use. At ETC the classes are so fun and really work. There is always equipment available and it is so easy to set up and use. The coaching is brilliant. Every coach is knowledgeable, kind, friendly and open hearted. You can really start at any level and they will help you wherever you are at on your fitness journey. I literally can’t stop talking about this place because I’m so happy here and am already seeing great results. If you are even considering it try it out, go for it. Everything is worth a try to see if it’s a good fit. I already feel so much better about myself and for the first time in my life look forward to working out. I think what they are doing at ETC is really truly special. I’ve already made some new friends and have gained a fitness family❤️

Fantastic experience: Positive: Professionalism If your looking to join a gym like no other, visit ETC and experience something completely different that will change your fitness levels, body shape and mindset all together

Barry Chinnock 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I've been training with ETC now for 7-months and I can honestly say it's one of the best decisions I've made. From the professional and knowledgeable approach of the coach's to the support and warmth of the fellow members they have really made the culture and atmosphere of ETC second to none. If you are considering a trial with ETC I would strongly advise that you get on and do it - you will not regret this decision !!

tabatha stoner 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I have recently joined and it has been the best decision full stop!! Online group coaching has kept me on my toes. The coaches are very knowledgeable, so easy to get on with and all round just amazing. This gym has to have to best TRIBE in the world and I for one can't wait to train with them in person. You will not get a gym like this anywhere guaranteed! UPDATE: Training with the tribe is awesome, they are my second family! Not only the banter, but I have pushed myself to new levels and still enjoying every minute. Second update: #FINDYOURTRIBE #LOVETHEMHARD If you are not sure what you want out of a gym, ckme and try ETC, it will be the best decision you will make.

Debbie Knight 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Attending ETC is enjoyable, fun and you get great results thanks to dedicated coaches and expert training plans. I’ve never been happier to get my trainers on and leave the house - thank you!

ruth farmer 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: ETC is a truly unique place to train. It is full of really kind and caring people. The coaches are extremely knowledgeable and so welcoming. The quality and delivery of the sessions is excellent with so much thought put into each and every one of them. When you walk in, you know you’re walking into a room full of people who really care about YOU! I can’t recommend it enough.

Zoe Chatley 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: 4.5 years with Tim and the team at Empowerment- that says a lot! I could never stick at a conventional Gym, i'd always go for a few months then just not turn up or I found other PTs didn't push me enough or coach me properly on technique. A friend told me about ETC and from the first day I joined I was hooked, not only have I lost weight, gained muscle and feel great and amazing, I have also made friends for life. Its not just a gym its a whole community. What Tim and the team have achieved in the last 5 years is incredible! Joining ETC has been life changing, I have never felt so empowered to work hard! Its changed my physical and mental health for good! ❤❤❤❤

Suzy Keeping 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: This place is so so much more than just a gym. The 3+ stone I’ve lost since April is a bonus but the main thing that’s changed since joining ETC is my brain. I have a whole network of people who support me completely and I see so much more value in myself than I did this time last year. I am a 110% stronger, happier, healthier human because of these guys ❤️

Liz Bonnett 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: One of my best decisions ever. The support and attention to detail is phenomenal. A great deal of thought goes into planning the sessions which are small and personal. Where else could you go where the coaches know every single person's name. Whatever your goals are there is always someone experienced to help guide you, particularly through those sticky patches that we all go through. Whatever your age, ability or goals I would 100% recommend Empowerment Training Centre.

ryan emmerson 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: A place where you walk in and everyone cheers your name, because they are just happy to see your face. A training facility that makes you feel like family. Professional Coaching Staff to show you what growth really feels like, whilst being surrounded by an amazing bunch of people. Realising that you are doing this for you, but discovering along the way it's an amazing feeling when you're not doing it alone, and that is what ETC is all about. Treated like family and working out like warriors, sounds pretty good if you ask me. Phenomenal place, fantastic coaching, amazing people. 100% worth your time.

Fantastic experience: Perfect place

Rachael Jessop 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I’ve been a member of ETC for over a year now. It’s the best decision I’ve ever made in relation to my health & fitness. I didn’t think I’d actually ever look forward to exercising but I really do now! I’ve seen results I never thought I would & met the most inspiring & wonderful people. All of this alongside a very busy life where my health & fitness generally come right down the pecking order because of hectic work & family commitments but I’ve still managed to achieve these wonderful things. The Coaches are absolutely incredible - their knowledge & support are second to none. The best more-than-a-gym.

Polly Knight 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Everything about ETC is just fantastic! Top quality knowledge from the coaches, a great atmosphere and awesome members! It’s not your usual gym, it is so welcoming and one big family, once you join you never want to leave!

Coach Washy 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Positive: Quality ETC has such a family vibe and sense of belonging. The support is incredible and they are constantly reviewing and adapting to external factors to make sure you feel that support and get the maximum out of your membership. ETC has allowed me to believe in myself & abilities again which in turn makes me a better Mum & human!

Michelle M 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication Not just a gym. A supportive and friendly community of people all sharing a similar ethos. Highly knowledgeable coaches who programme for progress and adapt for the individual if needed. Enjoyable training sessions in a bright, clean and modern facility.

Alexander Faulkner-Clarke 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: This is hands down the best training centre ever! I’m not one to go to the gym and hit the treadmill or stand in the weights section for hours at a time as I find it hard to get and stay motivated. But at ETC, the expert coaches design balanced and structured training programs that are easy to follow as they guide you through the movements and help you to improve technique and really get the most out of everything - as well as providing additional services for their member like body scans and heaps of nutrition information to help you better understand and improve your ‘relationship’ with food. On top of that, everyone who attends are just as supportive and encouraging which makes for a great atmosphere and drives the motivation to keep going and be better. If it wasn’t for ETC, I probably wouldn’t be working out at all, but I love going and always look forward to the sessions. Throughout lockdown and working through the tier system, the ETC coaches have continued to provide a top quality service, keeping us all moving and achieving our goals through online guided sessions that anyone can adapt to do at home; constantly keeping members updated throughout and always putting us, our health and safety at the forefront of everything they do. I could not recommend ETC highly enough, it will change your life for the better - it’s not a ‘normal’ gym... it’s an extended family and community of amazing people.

MARTYNE HARRIS 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Just getting back into the swing of things after the last lockdown and happy to be training again! Great environment, superb coaches with great training programmes. They’re always on hand when you need a bit of motivation and there’s a wealth of knowledge between the gang. All you need to do is show up to the classes and the results will speak for themselves.

Jennifer 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: The trainers are amazing, they remember everybody's names to say hello when we come in (no idea how they do it!) and always have a smile on their faces. They even remember our birthdays! You can get tailored advice through an individual coach that you can message, and they work with you to achieve your individual goal(s) whether it be training for something/ generally getting fitter/ eating healthier etc. The whole thing feels like a personalised experience, rather than in a gym where you may not know what to do/ how to push yourself to improve. Nobody judges you either and people are friendly and supportive. It's also nice to meet people- I moved to Northampton and did not know anybody here, so having friendly people around to chat to and train with is a bonus. You'll improve on fitness and technique and meet great people here!

April Krishnan 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I didn't expect to be joining empowerment training centre this year, i was recommended by someone a few times and i finally went with it. THE BEST DECISION I HAVE MADE IN 2021! After following the Keto diet for months and losing a considerable amount of weight and nutrients... which resulted in me losing half of my hair! I decided it just wasn't working for me anymore and then i joined. It isn't just a gym, its a group of people who go to their session but also extends outside of the gym itself. People are friends, who give you support & advice and in general, actually care about your wellbeing as a person! I have been part of a few gyms, as a woman always feeling uncomfortable to go near the weight section not knowing what i was doing and scared all the men would laugh at me. It was intimidating and to be quite frank it was boring just jogging on the treadmill/cross-trainer when i could have run around the field for free. Yes it helped towards weight loss but was it fun? No. Being part of ETC has allowed me to open myself up to new people and make friends, it has given me the education i need to make better-informed decisions about what i want to put into my body and supported me through the last couple of months. Whenever i felt like i couldn't be bothered to go to a session for whatever reason, the hardest thing was putting on my gym clothes but as soon as that was done i was on my merry way and enjoying myself. Coming out feeling like weight has lifted from my shoulders with a smile on my face. Also i didn't know there were so many different types of trainers! Anyway, thank you Tim Reid, Jack Collins & Kyle Craig for everything you do for us, without you i wouldn't push myself to do what i do in your sessions. <3

Karen Jackson 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Wow an amazing place ETC is. In these extraordinary times Tim, Jack and Kyle have made it feel like a safe fitness bubble. They have adapted to online coaching when needed. The gym itself has a great feel to it, it’s always buzzing, others are supporting and cheering people on and the coaches are giving feedback and making sure you are getting it right. An absolute diamond of a place to workout, connect with like minded people and have some fun in the pursuit of your fitness goals.

nikki hanwell 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: ETC is more than any fitness facility I know and I ve attended a few. The coaches and their ethos of encouraging you to believe in yourself and to support, encourage and empower those around you to do the same creates an incredible feeling and buzz. An environment that not only sees you test yourself physically every single session but also a team to mentally support you through the good and bad times in life and guarantee of a coach to greet you at the door with a massive welcoming smile reminding you that you belong and matter. Cannot imagine my life without the 'Tribe'. ETC is amazing.

Nicola Anderson 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Been coming here for years! My favourite place, full of encouragement and friendships and great for both my physical and mental well being. The coaches are amazing, very knowledgeable and the gym itself is immaculate and welcome :)

Rebecca Clarke 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I ❤️ everything about ETC & what the guys have created. It is my happy place, even if I rock up in a bad mood 5 mins in I feel so much better. There is motivation everywhere you turn, from knowledgeable coaches who care, listen & offer great support & advice. The members are incredibly inspiring, they push & encourage each other to become the very best version of themselves. Want great results whilst having fun then don't hesitate to try for yourself.

Trish Lorimer 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Excellent training facility with knowledgeable and friendly coaches. Fantastic sense of community and support.

Robb Kirby-Wilson 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Tired of going to a gym and feeling like you're not achieving anything? This is the place for you. The coaches here really know their stuff, and will push you in ways you never thought possible. They take time to listen to you, get to know you, and encourage you every step of the way. I've learnt more in the last couple months than I did going by to a 'normal' gym for 3 years. Everyone is made to feel welcome by the coaches and members, and there's a real community there. Still wondering if this is for you? Give it a go. You won't look back! This place proves exercise really can be fun.

Orange Fury 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Positive: Professionalism This is the most amazing place. Using the word "gym" doesn't seem right. It's a family reunion twice/three times a week where you laugh, sweat and more importantly, hit those fitness goals together. The team are incredible and you will not find a finer training establishment anywhere in this country. Fact!

david goldsborough 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: This is not your normal gym! Tim, Jack & Kyle make you feel welcome and at ease as soon as you arrive. In addition to a great location and top quality equipment you get the best coaching, advice and support throughout your sessions and beyond. The advice on nutrition from the outset alongside the guided training sessions is an important factor in helping you work towards whatever your personal goals are. But it’s more than this - from your first session as a newbie you feel welcome and part of the Tribe. I never thought working out could be this enjoyable and rewarding

Cara Amalfitano 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: This place is so much more than a gym... but is also a group of amazingly supportive and inclusive people, who all have a shared interest in working hard for their fitness results and having fun at the same time. Tim and Jack, our two coaches, have a genuine interest doing their best for each and every individual. There’s no way I’d ever go back to a commercial gym having been part of this awesome community!

Joe skinner 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: From real life to lock-down these guys just get you and know what you need to be better. A tribe of incredible humans guided by amazing coaches. People I now call friends, clients, business partners and all round high quality individuals. There aren't enough stars to rate.....I urge you to get involved you won't be disappointed.

Rob C 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I have been with Empowerment for nearly a year now and I have to say its the best decision I have ever made. Tim and Jack make training very easy to understand , we have set sessions and they go through each exercise before hand. During lockdown they went well above anything most gyms would do , I really love the community that Tim is built here . If your looking for top class coaching and help to take your training to the next level I would highly recommend you drop them a message

Alexis Luckhoo 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: My only regret is not having found Tim, Jack and the ETC tribe sooner. Great, well informed coaches who only have the best interest of their clients at heart. It is a great environment to learn to lift weights properly; learn about nutrition; and build friendships with like minded people. Go on, you owe it to yourself to join ETC.

Grant McKenna 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: The right setup for you, not for them. It’s personal, it’s supportive and most importantly it works. Never made to feel anything but part of the tribe even as when I started I struggled to keep up. Genuinely what are you waiting for......

Gareth Davies 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality Top coaching and amazing team ethos..!! Support you with long term achievable plans with core basics whilst stretching your comfort zone. I was unsure as have historically had bad knees and back however they have helped me straighten these areas and never felt better

Lulu C 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: If I could give more stars I would. Coaches are caring, understanding and treat everyone as an individual. They go above and beyond to ensure you enjoy training and enjoy eating well, as well as your well-being. Bi-weekly check ins, nutrition guidance on hand, easy to follow training program, lots of laughs, supportive members, no egos allowed. A spotless premises with the best equipment to hand including access to a state of the art Evolt machine.

Supreena Patel 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Over 3 years with this wonderful group of people says it all! You can't put a price on what you gain from this place. Fitness becomes a positive journey and a way of life surrounded by like-minded people and exceptional coaching. There's expert knowledge and support with nutrition to help you lead a happier and healthier lifestyle. You may never fully make use of your current gym membership but here, you won't want to miss a session! It will be the best decision you ever make.

Rebecca Smith 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality It’s difficult to put into words how good this gym is, it’s not even just a gym and it’s a home for so many people! The training and coaches are excellent and the members are so welcoming that it’s impossible not to make fantastic friends. If you’re in Northampton and training anywhere else the you’re out of your mind!

Nicola O'Brien 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: So much more than just a gym! Empowerment Training Centre is friendly, inclusive, inspiring, motivational and a life saver! I’ve been a member for over 18 months and have never been in better health physically or mentally. ETC takes a rounded approach to health and fitness - focussing on long term changes and habits, not ‘quick fixes’. Tim and Jack are incredible coaches - supportive, understanding, butt kicking and so knowledgable. Highly recommend!!!

Emily Lowther 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: The best training facility in Northampton, possibly even the UK in my opinion! Led by extremely knowledgeable coaches who have your best interests at heart and actually want to see you achieve your goals, (not just take your money and hope you never show up). The best group of people you will ever meet and you will truly understand how to grasp that balance of training and eating well without having to sacrifice pizza (which the coaches buy us once a month)! Why haven't you signed up already?? Come and join us - you won't regret it

Kath Middleditch 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Absolutely top drawer gym experience, and much more. I've tried commercial gyms, military bootcamps and council run gyms. Finally, I've found my fit - I just wish I'd found it sooner. ETC specialises in small group work with experienced coaches making sure you reach your individual goals. They get to know your strengths, weaknesses, hang ups and they know how much and when to push you. They also champion a brilliant social scene - it's so much more than a gym. Signing up was one of the best decisions I've made.
