I've been working with John online for just shy of a Year. I came to him with a seemingly impossible challenge; I wanted to transform myself from a guy with a broken down back into a healthy highland games athlete. He met that challenge head on and not only has my back recovered when many said it wouldn't, but I am stronger and more mobile than i have ever been in my life. Also, by addressing imbalances I never knew I had, my hips and knee are better than they've been in 10 years. I'm a believer.
I have trained and taught at Empowered Strength. John Odden and I have been colleagues for several years now collaborating as teachers at Empowered Strength and have worked together on articles, programming, and training. John is an outstanding technical and strength coach and personal trainer, a superb colleague and collaborator, and a class act. He and his staff know the know, talk the talk, and walk the walk in a way that is quite inspiring.
Been a member for a little over a year now. As someone who's struggled with feeling self-conscious, I can say Empowered Strength enjoys the distinction of being the only gym I've ever felt comfortable standing inside of. The coaches are always super-friendly and professional, and the culture among the other members is supportive and non-judgmental. Thanks to John and Tash, I'm in better shape now than I've ever been in my life. I am truly thankful to have found this place. Easily recommended.
Empowered Strength has changed my fitness! I have never really known how to properly strength train. Aaron did an assessment with me and set up a personalized strength plan to fit my objectives and schedule. I am now feeling stronger than ever just 3 months into the program! Definitely check this place out.

What a fantastic facility! I am in Bend on vacation and needed a workout, Aaron and John made it happen. This is the place to go to get challenged, develop strength and learn how to get strong safely (and have a blast doing it). Thanks guys, we will definitively be back!!

You want a great experience improving your motion and strength Nate Tuffanelli is the coach you are looking for. Working with Nate, I was very impressed by his skills and knowledge. I am a chiropractor, so I have a good understanding of how the body moves. He did a very thorough movement screen and with that he was able to give me specific exercises that will improve those poor movement patterns. After his sessions I always feel tired and my movement has improved. In other words GET INTO SEE HIM, because you will not be disappointed!!!

Empowered Strength is the best! I had no idea how much I would love going when I began. I'm an active person and a strong runner, but empowered strength has totally upped my game. Aaron and John are awesome, and the vibe at the gym is fantastic. Going to class is my favorite part of the week. If you're considering it, just go. Very knowledgable, supportive, and they'll customize your workout based on your goals. Can't say enough good things. Except: thank you, Aaron!

I had the chance to meet John at my Level 1 SFG Certification in 2016. I was very impressed with his coaching style and his persistence for perfecting form.
I had the opportunity to do long distance coaching and had a great experience. Through video coaching, online discussion and the many very useful references about the different techniques and literature, I was able to gain a better understanding of my overall training program.
For me, having a coach was about accountability. I realized before meeting John that I had many goals, many different ideas about programming and a difficult time understanding which direction I wanted to take.
With his persistence about the basics and understanding the need for consistency, it helped shape the decisions about how and what I was looking to train for.
After a lot of contemplation and a thorough examination of my goals, I realized I was not very clear with myself what I wanted. John was able to help me see through this and to remind me of the basics and to always set a goal and to stick with it.
I would highly recommend John and Empowered strength for training. He is thoughtful, knowledgeable and very strong. His personal accomplishments are commendable and something to look up to when choosing a coach who you feel confident and can trust to give you excellent and professional guidance.
I believe we all meet people in life when we are supposed to. I was lucky to meet him, train with him and to have someone I can count on regarding performance and strength training guidance.
Thank you for your support in my strength and wellness journey! :)

I've been training at Empowered Strength for 9 months now. The atmosphere there is just wonderful - John and Aaron are so friendly and unbelievably knowledgeable. But the truth is this - after training with John for 9 months, I have NEVER been stronger, and I just hit my mid-40s!! I feel fantastic!
I stopped by and worked with Aaron when i was in town for vacation. These guys are top-notch! The facility is clean and has everything i could want and the staff is professional and willing to go above and beyond to help you. I wish i had a place like this where i live!
John and his crew are fantastic. If you want a great combination of strength and overall conditioning, this is the place to be.
John & Aaron are knowledgeable and motivating coaches that make a killer team, and coach consistently in line with your goals. Was recommended to them by a friend, and have been pleasantly surprised with the program and thrilled with the near-immediate results. Plenty of options for different workout programs to fit even the busiest of schedules. Highly recommend checking them out!
One of my first priorities in my recent move to Bend was to find a qualified coach to help me continue in my goal of life-long fitness. I found John through StrongFirst and on my first visit I knew that I had found a home. John is a world-class athlete in his own right and brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to his training programs. He understands movement, mobility and flexibility and adds components of these disciplines to every aspect of his programming. He is continually assessing the goal and outcomes of my individualized strength training program and shares his knowledge with patience and clear explanations. I have met the most generous, kind and inspirational people in the group classes. John and new coach Aaron are caring, open-hearted people and I am honored to work with them and the other members of the Empowered Strength family.
Empowered Strength is not about a hard workout that exhausts your mind and body. It's about learning new mobility and strength skills, then building on those skills to take you to a new level that you didn't even know you were reaching for. I love that building this foundation of skills has allowed me to see results week over week. They also have a great emphasis on safety while lifting and personalized goals every month that I haven't seen at other gyms. Thank you John and Empowered Strength for continuing to teach me fitness for life!
I love Empowered Strength. I have been there a year now. John Odden and Aaron help me to strengthen my body and use it properly! They keep me safe by not allowing me to do more than my body can handle, but know when it can and push me. I am 56 years old and along with nutrition, I'm in the best health I've ever been my whole life. The people and energy is so nice there. I'd recommend Empowered Strength to everyone. John and Aaron really give it there all for us! There is passion and mission is to live healthier lives.
