Hi! I’m Melanie. 👋 If you’re new here, welcome! It’s been a while since I’ve properly introduced myself.

I’m married to my best friend, Kent, and this year we celebrated 31 years of marriage ❤️ We have five amazing kids and are about to welcome our fifth grandbaby. Nothing brings me more joy than my faith and my family.

When I’m not at EmpoweredCo, you’ll find me leading worship, speaking at churches and events, counseling and coaching others, writing, or spending time with the people I love. I’m also the author of Taking Off the Costumes, a book born out of my passion to help people break free from false identities and walk confidently in who God created them to be.

EmpoweredCo was never just meant to be a gym. It was birthed from a word God spoke to me and a vision He gave me of mind, body, and spirit transformation. True health is about so much more than what we look like. It’s about becoming whole from the inside out.

My heart is to help people discover the lies they’ve believed about themselves, or even about God, and replace them with His truth. I love helping people renew their minds, strengthen their bodies, and step boldly into their God-given identity, knowing they are fearfully and wonderfully made.

The name EmpoweredCo comes from one of my favorite verses,

Romans 12:2:
Be inwardly transformed by the Holy Spirit through a total reformation of how you think. This will empower you to discern God’s will as you live a beautiful life... (TPT)

That verse isn’t just our foundation, it’s our mission. Whether someone walks through our doors looking to get stronger physically, emotionally, or spiritually, my prayer is that they leave knowing they are seen, valued, loved, equipped, and empowered to live the life God created for them.

At EmpoweredCo, we don’t just build stronger bodies, we build stronger people. We believe community matters. We believe transformation is possible. And we believe your best days aren’t behind you, they’re still ahead.

Thank you for trusting me and letting me be part of your story. If you’re new here, I’m so glad you’re here. ❤️ by @empoweredco.transformed

✨ WEEK 2 of Perseverance — What is discouragement telling me?
Discouragement doesn’t just make us tired. Sometimes, it starts telling us stories about who we are. 💭
An empty room becomes “I’m failing.”
A difficult season becomes “Things will never change.”
A setback becomes “Maybe I’m not capable of this.”
But what if the circumstance is real, but the conclusion you’ve attached to it isn’t? ❤️
In 2 Corinthians 4:16, Paul reminds us that even when life is hard, our inner self is being renewed day by day. He didn’t pretend the difficulties weren’t real, but he refused to let them have the final word.
This week, we’re learning to separate what happened from what we’ve decided it means.
✨ FOCUS MOMENT:
Take a moment to get still and ask yourself:
💭 What has discouragement been telling me?
🙏 Is this what God says?
You can acknowledge a thought without agreeing with it. You can hear the voice of discouragement without giving it the final word.
Take a deep breath and remind yourself:
I DON’T QUIT. I KEEP GOING. 💪🏽❤️
God is still working. Your mind is being renewed. And your current circumstances do not get to define your worth or determine your future.
Let’s keep going, EmpoweredCo family! 🫶🏽
💬 Your turn: Finish this sentence in the comments or write it in your journal: “Discouragement has been telling me ______.”

PERSEVERANCE | WEEK 1: NOTICE ✨
Where do I want to quit?
Sometimes we don’t realize how discouraged we’ve become until we notice ourselves pulling back, checking out, or caring a little less.
And sometimes… we know exactly where we want to quit.
The marriage that feels harder than you expected.
The dream that’s taking longer than you thought.
The health goal that isn’t moving fast enough.
The relationship, recovery, parenting season, or walk with God that just feels heavy.
Galatians 6:9 reminds us:
“Let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up.”
The harvest comes in due season — not necessarily on our preferred timeline. We may not get to control when the harvest comes, but we do get to decide whether we’ll keep showing up.
Perseverance isn’t the absence of wanting to quit. It’s showing up again even while you’re still wanting to.
So this week, don’t try to fix it. Just notice it.
Finish this sentence:
“Right now, I want to give up on ______.”
Bring that place honestly before God. You don’t have to figure out the whole journey today. You just need to take the next right step.
I don’t quit. I keep going. 🤍

Today, as I was cleaning the gym, I found myself thanking God for the beautiful community EmpoweredCo is becoming. I’ve been putting words to the vision, the values, and the heart behind this space. Who we are and what I hope people experience when they walk through our doors. And I wanted to share a little of that heart with you. 🙂

This is EmpoweredCo, more than a place to work out. It’s a place to be transformed….from the inside out.

We believe getting stronger is about more than what happens physically.

It’s body.
It’s mind.
It’s spirit. 🤍

At EmpoweredCo…

We don’t compare. We celebrate.
We don’t compete. We congratulate.
We don’t tear down. We build each other up.

You don’t have to be the strongest in the room.
You don’t have to know what you’re doing.
You don’t have to “get in shape” before you come. You just have to show up.

And when you do, you’ll find a community ready to cheer you on as you grow stronger. One rep, one choice, one day at a time.

But what happens here goes beyond the workout.

Through our weekly devotionals, daily declarations, breath prayers, and FOCUS moments, we intentionally make space to strengthen our minds and spirits too.

Because my heart for EmpoweredCo has always been bigger than fitness.

My prayer is that when people walk through our doors, they encounter Jesus. That they feel His peace and His presence. That they are reminded of who they are and Whose they are.

And that when they walk back out those doors, they leave a little stronger, a little more encouraged, and a little more free than when they came in. Physically. Mentally. Spiritually.

This is EmpoweredCo. Come as you are. Get stronger. Be transformed. 🤍

“Be transformed by the renewing of your mind.”

What happens when we come back to the Source and let God fill us again?
Romans 15:13 says, “May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope…”
Hope isn’t something we have to manufacture. We don’t have to grit our teeth and force ourselves to believe things will work out.
We receive it.
Trust leads to being filled with joy and peace—and that fullness leads to overflow.
So if you’re feeling depleted this week, maybe that isn’t a failure. Maybe it’s an invitation: come back to the Source. Let Him fill you again.
And not just enough to get by. God desires an overflow—so much hope in us that it spills into our families, our friendships, our workplaces, and every space we walk into. 🤍
Breathe with us:
Inhale: Jesus, You are my Source.
Exhale: I overflow with hope.
✨ Declaration: I overflow with hope.
What would it look like to trust Him more fully this week, especially in the area that feels hardest?
And one more thing… starting in October, we’re stepping into a new rhythm together: one theme each month, walked out through Notice, Name, Truth, and Practice—in your inbox and during your FOCUS Moment on the floor.
Same heart. Same Source. A new season of digging the roots even deeper. 🌱

There are some people who don’t just become part of a business… they become part of its story. Megan is one of those people. 🤍

Megan has been with EmpoweredCo from the very beginning, before the doors opened, before the first workout, when we were still painting walls and dreaming about what this place could become.

If you’ve ever looked at the big BE TRANSFORMED sign on our wall, you’ve seen a little piece of Megan. She painted it. And somehow that feels so fitting because she has helped bring so much life to those words and to this place.

If you know Megan, you know she is full of life, love, laughter and FUN. But one of the things I love most about her is the way she sees people. When you’re with Megan, you feel like you matter. She remembers the little details. She asks about things you told her weeks ago. She encourages you, celebrates you and makes you feel seen.

And that is exactly the kind of coach she has been at EmpoweredCo.

Megan has made people stronger, but she has also made them smile, laugh, believe in themselves and keep going. She has brought an energy and joy to this community that will be deeply missed.

After being part of EmpoweredCo from the beginning, Megan is stepping away from coaching with us. Thankfully, we still have two more weeks with her!

So EmpoweredCo family, let’s love on Megan well. 🤍 If she has coached you, encouraged you, made you laugh or impacted you in some way, take these next two weeks to tell her. Leave a comment. Send her a message. Tell her in class.

Megan, thank you for believing in this place before it was even fully a place. Thank you for painting walls, coaching our people, bringing the fun and helping me build something that was once just a dream.

You will always be part of the beginning of EmpoweredCo’s story.

And somewhere along the way, I didn’t just gain a coach, I gained a friend. 🤍 taken in Leola, Pennsylvania by @empoweredco.transformed
