Empowering Fitness: A passion for healthy living

Is it a challenge for you to stay fit while keeping up with your busy life? It once was a challenge for Angie Brouwer.

Fitness was important to her, but driving to the gym in Cedar Falls every day for a workout with three kids in tow just wasn’t feasible.

So, in January 2016, she started her own gym in Parkersburg to empower others in the community to get a good workout in without leaving town.

At Empowering Fitness, at 203 6th Street, Parkersburg, Brouwer offers kickboxing and bootcamp style classes for all fitness levels. The classes include cardio workouts, weight training and strength training.

“We really pride ourselves on our slogan, ‘We rise by lifting others.’ I feel this is a place anybody can come to, where they feel welcome, and they are encouraged,” Brouwer said.
