Founder & Head Coach – Tashan Gabriel

With over 19 years of experience in the health and fitness industry, both through his own personal journey and professional coaching career, Tashan founded Empower with a simple mission: to create a place where people could build strength, confidence and long-term healthy habits in a supportive environment.

Throughout his career, Tashan noticed a common pattern. Many people wanted to improve their health and wellbeing, but barriers such as cost, lack of accountability, poor experiences and unsustainable approaches often led to short-lived results, unused gym memberships and a loss of confidence.

Empower was created to change that.

By combining expert coaching with purposeful, enjoyable group training sessions, Tashan's vision was to build more than just a gym — a community where people feel supported, challenged and empowered to create lasting change.

For Tashan, Empower has never been about creating the fittest people in the room — it's about helping ordinary people realise they're capable of far more than they ever believed.
