The Empire Onboarding Session exists for one reason: to give you clarity before you commit to anything.
In a focused 30-minute onboarding session, you will experience how Empire actually works:
Here is what you will get:
how we train
how we think
how we build adults who demand more than workouts and theory
This is not a lecture.
It’s not a sales pitch.
And it’s definitely not a trial class.
During your session, you will receive:
✔️ A guided walkthrough of the Empire training structure
✔️ Hands-on exposure in a controlled, supportive environment
✔️ Direct guidance on the path that fits you best: Self-defense, Kickboxing or the full Empire system
You will leave knowing exactly:

“I never thought I could feel this confident. After just one session, I knew Empire was the real deal.”

“Empire proves that training isn’t just physical. It’s mental, it is stress relief and it’s a challenge worth taking no matter where you are in life.”

"The fact that beginners were welcome made it feel way less intimidating to get started.”

"Anyone can do this. I started in my early 60s, and I love every minute of it. Don’t overthink it, just start.”
This onboarding isn’t about proving anything. It’s about seeing:

The onboarding showed me exactly where I fit. The hands on part was eye-opening, I finally know how to train smart.”

“Empire isn’t just a gym. It’s a community. It’s confidence. It’s strength from the inside out. And once you experience it, you will wonder why you waited.”
This isn’t free.
And that’s intentional.
The $19 onboarding session is a commitment filter…not a promotion.

You are investing in clarity, coaching and direction.
