Debra has found a way to deliver to her members the best classes with the most incredible instructors in the business. It's always a fun (seriously fun; you have no idea how hard you're working because you are smiling and laughing throughout the class), inviting atmosphere (zero judgement; come as you are) that will keep you coming back for more. I love the challenge, the energy, and the diversity of classes. And, of course, the results: amazing.
Thank you!

I have been a member of Energy for many years. I love that I have the opportunity to choose from many different types of classes during the day and evening. I can't pick a favorite class or instructor since I love them all! 
Their new location is perfect!

Being new to a fitness class, as well as being male, I was nervous to try this out. I am on day 8 of my 10 day pass and have been to 5 different classes. I am addicted. The staff and other attendants for each of my classes have been extremely welcoming. As for the workouts, mind blowing. I never imagined this style of fitness could be so intense and targeted, while having such low impact on the body. This is key for me due to past injuries. The number and variety of classes each day leave little excuse not to come, and the feeling of the workouts and people make you want to. Highly recommend people of all levels and abilities give it a try.

My experience with Energy thus far has been short, but very sweet!! I have attended a total of 6 group classes over the last week and a half and I have NEVER felt this motivated or empowered! The instructors are SO encouraging... especially for someone like me who has never been able to do a sit up! There is no shame in adapting the moves to meet your ability and, if anything the instructor cheers you on even more. The schedule options and flexibility are also a HUGE plus. I work 50 hours a week and have two young children, so having the ability to pick and choose classes based on what works for me that week is invaluable. Energy has an amazing atmosphere; being greeted by name and feeling comfortable from the second I walk in the door plays a big role in my confidence level.
Love, love, love this place!!❤️

The instructors and staff at Energy are all amazing, kind, helpful, and sincerely care about each member. Your health and progress are so important to each of them. The workouts are constantly changing, challenging, and the variety of classes and times allows for flexibility. My daughter and I love going and have met some incredible people while sweating and laughing.

2009 BEST TRAINER - DEBRA TOUREK
"A well-known name on the Woodbury fitness scene for about 15 years, Debra Tourek opened Energy in March 2008, offering a variety of functional, full-body workouts including Pilates, yoga, kickboxing, and even barefoot cardio. Tourek's goal: that each client walk out the door feeling good about themselves instead of focusing on what their body looks like. 'After working out with Debra for a few months, what strikes me the most is how she respects everyone on the same level, no matter what their level,' says a current client.
