Daena Kruthoff, MS, CPT
Owner & Head Coach, Empowered Fitness
I’m Daena — Navy veteran, mom, coach, and founder of Empowered Fitness. With a master’s degree in Exercise Science and over 15 years of military experience, I built this gym to be a space where anyone — regardless of age, gender, or experience level — can train with purpose, push limits, and build confidence through strength.
Whether you’re looking to lose fat, build muscle, boost performance, or simply feel better in your body, I coach with intention, integrity, and a deep understanding of what it takes to get real results. As a Strength Coach, I combine proven science with personal experience to deliver high-quality coaching in a supportive, no-BS environment.
Empowered Fitness is about more than just fitness — it's about showing up for yourself, working hard, and becoming stronger from the inside out.
At Empowered Fitness, my approach is built on strength, sustainability, and self-belief. I believe in meeting each client where they are—physically, mentally, and emotionally—and building a strong foundation that supports both performance and longevity. My training is rooted in science-backed strength work, balanced with mobility, core stability, and injury prevention.
For my young athletes, I focus on developing body awareness, explosive power, and movement mechanics to help them perform at a higher level and stay healthy throughout the season and beyond.
Whether you’re a competitive athlete, a busy parent, or just starting your fitness journey, I design purposeful, challenging programs to help you feel strong, capable, and empowered—both in the gym and life.
