Emp Performance strength and conditioning gym

Fantastic experience: Unreal gym, more lollies though

Fantastic experience: Absolutely brilliant. I have lost always wanted to strength train but didn’t know how until I found EMP. I have lost over 20kg, gained significant muscle mass and taken on challenges I never thought possible. It’s a super welcoming and family-style environment- most of my closest friends in Sydney I have met at EMP.

Fantastic experience: Luke is a great and creative coach. Coming up with stretches and exercises to avoid issues and build strength and stamina. Feeling 10 years younger after 2 years of great training. EMP delivers! Thanks Luke,

Fantastic experience: Working with Luke before going to America ha helped me so much to improve my strength, power and explosiveness as an athlete. I would highly recommend anyone looking to become a more complete athlete to get in contact with him

Fantastic experience: The people behind EMP Performance are the most dedicated and understanding of trainers you could ever ask for, genuinely I wouldn’t have had the progress I have today without their skills and eagerness to help me on my journey. They also foster a great community and gym environment, you can feel comfortable getting what you have to do done. Give these guys your time if you want to be stronger than ever.

Fantastic experience: EMP is the best gym community I have ever been a part of. The members are so inviting and take all the awkwardness out of starting a new gym! The coaches are helpful, insightful and passionate about what they do, and really care about their clients results! I would definitely recommend EMP to anyone looking to kick start or shake up their training routine!!

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend this gym for anyone who is keen to be part of a community minded and goal focused crossfit and functional fitness gym in North Sydney/Northern Beaches area. Great facilities, welcoming and supportive coaching staff and friendly clients make for a great training atmosphere. Shout out to Mel and Luke for the sessions!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been with EMP since Jan 2022 and would comfortably say EMP is undoubtedly the best gym I’ve been to. As a previous member of your typical commercial gym and the odd CrossFit gym, coming to EMP is really made a difference to me. Why? 1. Their programming works. With 3 days strength, 3 days Metcon style, it’s the right formulae to build strength and cardiovascular fitness which shows results. Also turning up to the gym knowing you don’t have to think about it and knowing equipment is available makes it very easy. 2. They care. The Coaches; Luke & Mel, care about your fitness journey, regardless of what level you are at. Whether it’s being able to deadlift 20kg or 200kg, they care about what your goals are and will help guide, motivate & achieve them. 3. Culture. Small group fitness training makes it an interment experience. Your join as a “member” but return as a friend. Whether it’s in gym interaction of the outside gym socials, you’ll be part of a culture that’s not provided at many other gyms.

Fantastic experience: My daughters have been training in EMP's Youth classes and it has been an awesome experience. The classes were well structured and tailored to their specific needs and abilities. The coaches have a great connection with the kids and are highly knowledgeable and skilled in their field. They've created a supportive environment where the kids are challenged and also learning to perform functional training techniques. What initially started as getting our girls moving and offering a different type of training has turned into both the girls excelling in their team sports. It has been great for our girls to see the progress they have made and impact it has had outside of the gym. If you are looking for a different type of training for your children, or want them to look for that extra edge in their sporting teams, then I would highly recommend chatting with the EMP Team!

Fantastic experience: Great gym, highly recommend for anyone looking to get stronger and fitter in a smaller and supportive environment

Fantastic experience: Luke is extremely supportive and knowledgeable. Luke provided me with a personalised gym program which included strength work, conditioning workouts and cardio workouts each week. Luke would review videos i sent him, give me tips on my technique and make sure i was accountable each week. Highly recommend and am grateful for Luke and EMP

Fantastic experience: The crew at EMP are friendly, experienced and provide an awesome environment to train in. It didn't take long to gel with the other members also, very supportive and like minded people that want to hit body goals! I absolutely recommend EMP for a mix of strength conditioning, high intensity, rehabilitation and a bit of banter!

Fantastic experience: Having been a gym junkie since I turned 50 I gained confidence lost weight and met new likeminded friends. Then covid hit. It all changed and I lost my mojo. Missed my pals and piled on the weight and started to feel old. I saw an ad for EMP and checked out the website. Making that first step in contacting them was my turning point. Luke was fab reassuring encouraging and mentoring during a trial Saturday (!) after Christmas. We discussed PT as a way to to get me moving again and I was introduced to Mel. And there began the next part of my journey into regaining my confidence healing my body and my mind and exploring and reaching a few goals along the way. I have every respect for the boys and their clients are a testament to their ability and mindset. Spicy Saturday sessions are hateful but unmissable. Thank you Luke and Mel

Fantastic experience: Wonderful gym, super supportive and inclusive of all fitness and strength levels. I have three kids and the 6am class works perfectly for my day.

Fantastic experience: Good guys and a great class.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been at EMP almost a year and have loved every minute of it. Luke and Mel the coaches create a great environment and always push everyone to their goals. Would definitely recommend to anyone who is wanting to start out in the gym or someone wanting more structured and beneficial training!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been training with EMP for about one year now and I’ve loved every session. The coaches are full of experience and truely make the community special. Always supportive and helpful regarding all things from training and technique/form to diet. Having the coaches always pushing me each session and critiquing/perfecting my form has led me to be the strongest and healthiest version of myself. Highly recommend for anyone interested!

Fantastic experience: EMP is a boutique gym with a PT experience. The coaches are by far the most knowledgeable I’ve experienced not only around strength technique but also nutrition and overall health & wellbeing. Lucky to have found this place and would recommend this to anyone who wants a little help with accountability and wants results.

Fantastic experience: I have been training with Luke and Mel from EMP for about 9 months. I love the community feel of the gym and how supportive everyone is. The classes are scaled so whether you have never set foot in a gym, or are a seasoned regular you are always pushing yourself. I am stronger now than I have ever been so the programming has been really beneficial.

Fantastic experience: Having just joined, I feel very lucky to be apart of the EMP fam! Their small group classes have a PT type feel with a very well thought out program that is easy to follow and allows you to see your progression over the weeks which is very motivating and also keeps you accountable and on track. The trainers are so knowledgeable and supportive and are just as keen to see you smash your goals as you are to make them!

Fantastic experience: Such a great personal experience with Luke, Mel and the team. Getting great results. Always look forward to next session.

Fantastic experience: Lovely crew of people and excellent equipment. My teens also go and love it. Thanks, guys!

Fantastic experience: Such a supportive and friendly gym. The trainers went above and beyond to deliver a tailored training routine.

Fantastic experience: Really enjoyed when i was at EMP. I found that unlike other gyms who make you rush through the program in unrealistic short bursts of time, the programming they did here was they provided you with the work out, showed you what it was then let you work at your own pace through the weight days. All the cardio sessions were great and i always felt encouraged to go from Luke and Mel. Only reason i left was my work arrangements changed and the class times didn't work for me. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: An amazing community built from incredibly passionate fitness trainers. Luke and Mel are caring, knowlegable and inspirational gym owners always putting members first. Keep up the great work guys REAL MUSCLE IS HEART

Fantastic experience: I started PT with Luke during one of the many COVID lockdowns and then joined EMP when the gym was allowed to re-open. I can honestly say it’s the best decision I’ve made for my overall health and wellbeing in a really long time. The classes are well structured and constantly evolving so you never get bored. The community of members is second to none and caters for all levels of fitness from beginner to pro with endless encouragement and plenty of laughs along the way. I cannot thank the trainers, Luke and Mel enough for the environment they have created. They are genuinely great guys who really know their stuff and are invested in everyone’s progress and goals, whatever they may be. When I joined I was in a training rut and lacking in confidence but both Luke and Mel provided the perfect balance of support and tough love! I never thought lifting weights would be my thing but now deadlift Thursdays are my favourite day of the week! You just can’t help but want to be the best version of yourself around these guys. Thanks Luke and Mel.

Fantastic experience: I love the fact that these guys are particular about form. When lifting alone, it is easy to fall back to bad habits but with trainers watching, I can stay consistent. In the beginning I though $60 a week is high for a gym but the classes are like PT sessions with individual attention so for what you get it is so cheap!

Fantastic experience: Love everything about EMP. Best gym in the Forest. Luke and Mel are excellent trainers and know so much. I always wanted to lift weights at a gym but had no idea what I was doing. EMP provides the perfect balance of strength and conditioning training and there are plenty of classes to choose from. A lot of thought and planning goes into their programming and it makes it super easy to turn up and have it all outlined for you. Everyone is super supportive and just wants you to smash your own goals. From the moment I stepped into EMP I never felt intimidated or out of place. I was welcomed from Day 1 and we have many laughs along the way.

Fantastic experience: EMP Performance is a great place to train and get results! The coaches are very knowledgeable, passionate and cater to all fitness levels and goals. The community is second to none and it's members are very supportive and friendly. The group classes are fun and programming is on point.

Fantastic experience: Best gym, awesome guys, high standard of coaching in a great environment.

Fantastic experience: Having joined EMP when first opened I had a hip injury and was also in a training rut. Luke and Mel were so informative, supportive and caring and have since paved the way to a more structured results driven exercise regime that I absolutely enjoy. I also love the group classes as I am challenged to achieve better outcomes each time with Luke’s encouragement. Best of all I feel the best I have in a long while and am injury free ! EMP caters for all walks of life, age and fitness levels, has a wonderful sense of community and is hands down the best gym I have been to in many decades!

Fantastic experience: I love the community vibe at EMP everyone is so welcoming. Their hybrid sessions are such a great challenge and i love the variety.

Fantastic experience: Joining this gym was without a doubt the best thing I did in 2020. I have always struggled finding my confidence at the gym but this is more of a community than anything else. In my opinion Mel & Luke are 2 of the best coaches you will find in this industry; they really care about their clients and they are always guiding and encouraging me to achieve my goals. I never thought I would say I enjoy going to the gym but I love EMP.

Fantastic experience: Been training at this gym for the past two years around my footy commitments. Can safely say the work these two fellas put into developing their clients significantly improves sporting performance. Always great vibes around the place and the gym means more then just working out to all of it's members. One big community where every body, no matter ability or stage of their fitness journey is made to feel welcome enabling them to thrive and achieve their best personal outcomes. Love this place!

Fantastic experience: Joining this gym just over a year ago was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. Before joining I had no experience in the gym, the trainers have, and continue to help me every step of the way. They are patient, knowledgeable and very supportive. I’m proud to say in the year that I’ve been with them that my physical and mental health have come a long way, I’ve built life long healthy habits and continue to look forward to every session. The community that the trainers have built is welcoming and definitely feels more like a family rather than just people you see at the gym. ❤️

Fantastic experience: I've spent my adult life in various different gym environments and this is the best by far. Luke and Mel have created a fantastic community that is encouraging and welcoming. The times of the group sessions don't meet my availability so I decided to start PT with Mel. He is the loveliest PT you will ever meet but don't be fooled by his kindness, I work harder and achieve more than I could ever imagine.

Fantastic experience: Great community gym, trainers are great and knowledgeable! Love the structured training.

Fantastic experience: Words cannot express how much my life has changed for the better since starting my personal training sessions with Luke a year ago. My dad had been seeing him after years of chronic pain & issues he was struggling to find solutions for. Seeing these issues finally being alleviated & how much Luke has done for my dad’s overall health & well-being, I decided to start weekly sessions myself. A year later and I my lifestyle has completely changed. I see Luke for PT twice a week & am at the local gym most days outside of that. I have healthier eating habits. I sleep better. My goals have expanded far beyond what I originally went to him for initially. I can’t thank him enough for the motivation he’s given me to make this lifestyle change. He really understands each individual client’s needs and is able to cater/adapt to all age groups & walks of life. Luke’s extensive knowledge of health, fitness & the body is apparent when he’s adjusting my sessions on the fly due to injury or because he’s more in tune with my limits than I am. I cannot recommend him or the EMP family highly enough. Whatever your fitness goals are, go have a chat to Luke and the team. It will change your life

Fantastic experience: I've been attending EMP Performance for over 6 months and I couldn't recommend it more! Professional and friendly trainers that listed to your goals and work with you to achieve them!

Fantastic experience: EMP is one of the most professional, encouraging and motivating gyms on the Northern Beaches. Luke, Mel and Ellie provide a professional and loving approach while striving for constant progression both mentally and physically for all members.

Fantastic experience: Hands down one of the best gyms on the Northern Beaches. Both Luke and Mel have created one of the most supportive gym environments where you feel comfortable no matter where you are at in your fitness journey. Everyone supports one another in reaching their personal best and achieving their goals. The community at the gym is second to none, the boys have done an excellent job in creating a friendly and supportive environment. Love being apart of the EMP family xx

Fantastic experience: EMP is an great gym with amazing facilities and such supportive, knowledgable and motivational coaches. I can not thank Luke enough for all the inspiration, motivation and support he has given me that has made me love the gym and want to work to achieve my goals. I highly recommend EMP to anyone who wants a safe, loving and happy place to be xxx

Fantastic experience: Mel and Luke are extremely knowledgable and caring people. The EMP gym is equipped with everything you need for a great workout and the community they are creating is second to none. As soon as they opened the doors I felt at home.

Fantastic experience: EMP performance has a vibrant and supportive community. The coaches Luke and Mel are highly knowledgeable and motivating. I've already seen great results! Highly recommend EMP for all fitness levels.

Fantastic experience: Luke Preston has amazing patience with his clients and knows when to push and when to encourage. He takes a genuine pride in your progress. If you are looking for a personal trainer or would like to be a member of a boutique style gym where the owners know your name and really care about you achieving your goals - this is the place to go.

Fantastic experience: Luke Preston has been my personal trainer for almost 4 years and when he opened EMP Performance earlier this year, I followed him to his new gym. It's a great space - big enough to be well equipped but small enough to be intimate and friendly. When you walk through the door you feel like you are family and the results I have achieved through Luke's personal attention to my fitness and strength needs (I'm at the older end of the scale!) have been nothing short of extraordinary. I can't thank you enough or recommend you more highly.

Fantastic experience: Knowledgeable and caring coaches who genuinely want to help you achieve your health and fitness goals with a sustainable approach. Classes are well thought out and the community in the gym is so supportive.

Fantastic experience: EMP is one of the most professional, encouraging and motivating gyms on the northern beaches. Both coaches provide a professional and loving approach while striving for constant progression both mentally and physically for all members xxx

Fantastic experience: Had the best session doing their Super Saturday. The trainers explain everything clearly and it is really easy to follow ! Would do it again
