Empower Physical Therapy & Personal Training

I started seeing Elissa for knee pain. She was able to quickly help me with specific PT exercises for my knee. I then transitioned into training with her and I have never gotten such good workouts and already feel stronger after just a month of working out with her. I highly recommend Elissa! Her professionalism, willingness to really listen and then create a custom PT or workout program are unmatched!

Elissa is amazing! As a semi-experienced weightlifter, I am always challenged by Elissa and her training, I’ve never had such good mobility and strength before training with her, she’s pushed me to achieve more than what I could independently. I’ve had some mobility issues that compromise my ability to do certain movements, but Elissa incorporates specific exercises to help strengthen them, making it easier to lift heavier and do more. I highly recommend her, even for more experienced athletes. She’ll take what you have and push you to your highest capabilities.

If you are looking for a personal trainer in Northern Colorado (or virtually anywhere!), look no further than Elissa Jacob at Empower PT. I scheduled a consultation with Elissa because I was ready to take my fitness to the next level. Here is what I learned from our initial conversation: 1. Elissa is highly qualified as both a personal trainer AND a physical therapist. 2. Elissa is an active listener. She listened to my goals instead of assuming what I wanted and needed. 3. Elissa practices what she preaches. She lives an active life and is well-versed in so many forms of movement. As a fellow small business entrepreneur, I appreciated the value in Elissa's fee structure. Her pricing motivated me to commit to meeting three times per week, and I am so glad I did. I look forward to every one hour session because I know it's going to be time well spent with a true professional who is invested in my success. The real jewel for me is that Elissa is the perfect balance between challenge and encouragement. She knows when I can give more, and she gives just the right amount of positive reinforcement to draw it out of me. I am very happy with the progress I am making working with Elissa. I know I have more to give, and Elissa is making it possible for me to achieve my fitness goals. If you are looking for a personal trainer, I give Elissa Jacob my highest recommendation.

I came in to see Elissa with a shoulder injury that I had been dealing with for months. I worked with her for two sessions and took what I learned home and was able to get my shoulder back to a healthy point to where I can workout again without concern of my shoulder. I also really appreciate the way she runs her sessions, it’s very personal working in her home and you get a lot more time help than being at a larger clinic. I know I’ll be going back with any future issues that come up!

Elissa is highly knowledgeable about the body and has helped me correct my strength imbalance with a targeted home program over the past few months. She is also excellent with manual work and fixed a tight painful shoulder/neck with only one visit. I appreciate her style of only seeing patients as often as they need to be seen and offering home programming to help her clients make progress.

Elissa has been absolutely instrumental in helping my daughter recover from an unusual ankle injury. She took the time to listen to our situation, learn about my daughter's condition and come up with a comprehensive recovery plan. Elissa looked beyond the injury and treated her as a whole person, working on the factors that contributed to the overall problem. She is easy to work with, listens to feedback, and developed a great rapport with us. My daughter's feedback is that Elissa was incredibly encouraging and motivating. She really liked that the focus was just on her during her sessions, and most important to her was that Elissa made PT fun. I can't recommend her enough.

Working with Elissa to obtain my personal fitness goals has been great. She is always quick to respond to my questions and is very knowledgeable about improving strength/range of motion. Learning the proper form in a welcoming environment has improved my confidence with lifting. The workout styles have a lot of different components and I have seen good results already. I have done gym memberships in many places and worked with personal trainers before but nothing has compared to this process. Empower PT takes a personal approach and makes the process of getting back into shape enjoyable. I would highly recommend!

Been working with Elissa for a while to recover range of motion after a broken shoulder and humerus fracture. Elissa has been very professional and empathetic throughout this process. She gave me exercises to do at home to get my shoulder moving, providing variety to keep me motivated. Elissa knows her stuff and is great to work with.
