After almost 9 years, Pip and I are closing the doors to Power to Empower at the end of November 2026 as we embark on a new adventure down south.
We opened our not-for-profit gym in Jan 2018 after returning to Perth from South Sudan and Uganda where we were working with orphanages and similar projects.
The gym's purpose was to build a community of kindhearted and fitness focussed people, while raising money for causes we felt drawn to support.
We did this through clothing, sleeping bag and health product donations to rough sleepers in Perth.
Financial donations to sustainable projects in third world countries.
And child sponsorship through our partner Compassion Australia.
I can happily say we accomplished our charitable goal.
The part we didn't expect was having our own lives blessed by the beautiful people who stepped foot into Power to Empower.
Hundreds of people over the years made an impact on us and our community—many as members and casual visitors, supporters of our work, and strong men and women who entered our competitions. We want to thank every person who helped make P2E what it is. The success our community achieved is owed to the hearts of those who shared this journey.
The blood, sweat and tears put into P2E will live on forever, but the doors are closing and it’s time to say goodbye.
With endless love and gratitude
Pip and Ben
