Empower Martial Arts & Fitness — Local services in Town of Brookhaven

For the past 4 months I have been taking private kickboxing sessions 2-3 days per week with Sensei David at Empower Martial Arts and Fitness. With my 40th birthday approaching, I had decided it was time to make my health and fitness a priority after having children and taking care of everyone else for so many years. Having not put on a pair of boxing gloves in 12+ years, I was nervous and intimidated before our first session. However, these feelings quickly vanished after walking through the door.

I’ve made so many friends through Empower. If I could go back and change one thing in my life I would join Empower earlier because it’s something I now can not...

My daughter Charlotte was hesitant to join at first, but now she absolutely loves it and looks forward to every session. The owner/instructor has an incredible ability to keep the kids both engaged and in line — he’s firm when needed, but always fair, and handles any disruptions quickly and confidently.

It’s clear he truly knows how to work with kids and make them feel both challenged and supported. Highly recommend...
