At Empower, our goal is to help you become an ACTIVE, HEALTHY, and STRONG woman. To us, becoming active, healthy, and strong does not only refer to becoming physically fit, it also ties into every other aspect of your life, physical, mental, and emotional. To be ACTIVE, HEALTHY, and STRONG is to be EMPOWERED!!
Although as women we stand together, we recognize that each of us is very unique and have different needs. We are at various stages in our lives. We each face unique challenges, whether they are related to family, career, life in general, or a combination of everything! That is why we have carefully selected four amazing women; all seasoned fitness professionals who come from different backgrounds and are at different stages in their own lives. Gin Miller, Heather Hawk, Kathy Stevens, and Rachel Howe will be writing to provide answers to your questions, offer advice, and share their experiences.
However, we thought it was important that before they began sharing their experiences and ideas, that they each define what it means to them to be EMPOWERED.
Over the couple weeks, each of these women share with us what empowerment means to them. Also, check out some of the questions they will be answering (below). These questions came from women JUST LIKE YOU! If you have a question or a topic you would like to explore, please share! We can all learn and grow from the experiences of others! Your voice is important and you deserve to be heard!!!
