I had been lurking in the Empowr CIC WhatsApp group for a while. I'd recommend the reasonably priced, well-structured courses. The staff are very helpful and knowledgeable; the attendees are friendly... See more

Very clear and easy to follow instructions. Jasmine is super lovely and despite a large class she's able to address where you need to improve without making you feel singled out. Would love to attend... See more

Fun session with options depending on your level but also challenging, which is what makes progress. A combination of free skate, specific drills and easy dance routines. I would recommend it to anyon... See more

EMPOWR-ing others to skate

The atmosphere at the centre is so welcoming and the stuff really pride themselves on encouraging those that are attending for the first time to those that are capable of skating but want to add new skills to their development. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND Empowr CIC they really do help you along your journey which makes it so much fun to have whilst learning from others. I started here and just find that they have the formula right to EMPOWER your confidence in skating 😊

Simply the best!

I'm so grateful for Jasmine, KD & team! I'm very much a nervous and anxious skater yet their support, patience and exceptional knowledge has been world class and helped me progress! This is by far the best community of skaters who offer lessons in London. Many thanks, Serena :)

Skating in the park

This was a fantastic session. The instructors were friendly, supportive and encouraging and the session was well structured and organised. I had a great time and this has really built my confidence: I’m really looking forward to going again!

This is just brilliant…

This is just brilliant…!
This was my first Monday night and the Empower team led by Jasmine were great. Learned so much in one night. And even though I took a fall I was looked after by Ruth. The team are attentive and encouraging. I feel more confident to skate. Will look at practising some of the techniques taught. I really enjoyed the dance routine we learned too. Thanks.

Finally reached for the 1st time…

Finally reached for the 1st time yesterday. Empowr is home from home when it comes to skating. Whether it’s a Monday practice session for beginners, a Thursday get down and vibe skate jam night or Friday easy but smooth like butter practice session (that floors amazing) and last but not least the skate jam main events is a live and direct with skater of all types and areas enjoying a South LDB evening vibe. Space is key, each and everyone hosted in a safe and friendly environment for all. Not to mention many who come along are on hand to help out along with the lovely staff. Happy to be apart of the Empowr skate family, humbled with how much i’ve levelled up so far and the journey to come. Highly recommend to come on down to the sessions and there’s even kids session too. They aim to provide you with the skills and confidence to safely venture out to other events whilst still continuing to cratering locally. Amazing community and a fantastic host - well done guys

Great experience!

Where do I start. I had never been to an indoor space for skate coaching before and this was a great experience. The venue was spacious, atmosphere was friendly and welcoming. The coaching was great. I love that I got tips that work for me to take away. It's a great space to try out moves as you learn, such as basic skating, stopping forwards, backwards and crossovers, also to build your confidence if you're t be a bit anxious in attempting aspects of skating outside.

The jamskate section was great!👌� Designed to help you develop each step of the way....
It challenged and built my confidence with my big heavy ventro pros which has been my perfect goal to overcome personally - I can't wait to see just how much I've grown once I move on to my much lighter and less bulky skates!

Customer service. It's easy to rate when things go wrong and not acknowledge when it goes right so I have to say that the customer service is excellent! . Response rate and communication was great and that counts immensely - they were also very courteous and professional. Empower CIC, Jasmine, thank you. I could see you were genuinely concerned and fixed the issue swiftly A great all-rounder 🙏🏽

Wonderful! ❤️

Jasmine was so welcoming! The whole experience felt gentle, positive and encouraging. A relaxed environment with no pressure at all. Couldn’t have been better! Jasmine led a routine that everyone could join in with and broke down each move clearly so we could go over it slowly and build it up to speed.
Such a lovely bunch of people, it was a joy to meet new skaters and be a part of such an open, positive and uplifting session. I couldn’t recommend highly enough. I hope to make more of these lovely skate sessions! Wherever you are on your skate journey, I encourage you to go and experience for yourself! ❤️ Thank you Jasmine!
