Empower Fitness Taupō began with a simple vision from founders Graham and Fiona Green: to create a place where locals could move, grow, and connect. Since opening our doors in 2009, we’ve evolved from a passionate startup into Taupō’s go-to fitness hub, blending world-class facilities with a down-to-earth community spirit. What started as a dream has become a journey of sweat, support, and shared victories – right here in the heart of Taupō.
Explore our story below and see how we’ve grown alongside this incredible town.
Empower Fitness opened its doors for the very first time in a modest 196m² space. At the time, we focused solely on Group Fitness classes, with Fiona and Jane leading the charge. Their passion and energy laid the foundation for what was to come.
Just over a year later, we expanded for the first time. We kept the original 196m² space for Group Fitness and added a new 400m² facility around the corner. This allowed us to introduce a main gym area featuring cardio and weights, plus a brand-new Spin Room.
We were honoured to win at the Taupō Business Awards, a proud milestone that recognised the hard work and commitment of our team and community.
We knocked down walls and expanded our footprint again, unifying our Group Fitness and gym areas under one roof. This new layout offered a more seamless and connected experience for our members.
A major leap forward – we moved into a brand new, custom-built 1,000m² facility developed by Pointon Property. This new space gave us room to grow and innovate even further.
We expanded our offering by incorporating Fitzone, bringing even more diversity and specialised training options to our members.
Most recently, we introduced a dedicated Core and Stretch Space, giving members a quiet, focused area to work on flexibility, recovery, and core strength.
