OUR COMMUNITY
Our Founders
Committed to providing a special experience for the community, co-founders Jocelyn DeMaio and Neil Parisi opened Empowered in Glastonbury in December, 2016. Starting with a superior cycling program, they developed the Empowered experience! This utilizes the most cutting edge performance technology, to deliver a complete, high intensity experience that is safe, effective and FUN for everyone from the new exerciser to the elite athlete! In March, 2020, they expanded to offer additional fitness classes still focusing on a safe, and fun experience.
Empowered has been recognized three years in a row for both “Best Fitness Studio/Gym” (CT Magazine), and “Best Specialized Fitness Studio”(Hartford Readers’ Poll, CTNOW), We have no doubt that Empowered is a place you’ll love to call your “workout” home.
