How Empowered Performance Compares
A side-by-side look at what sets Empowered Performance apart from other biomechanics courses — in teaching method, application, feedback, and access.
| Other Biomechanics Courses | Empowered Performance | |
|---|---|---|
| Format | 10–12 week live cohort or module-based mentorship | 12-week course + daily mentorship — ask questions directly to Katie, not an AI bot |
| How concepts are taught | Presentation calls, slides, reading, and a video exercise library, with a separate practical call for coaching | Everything in their approach — presentations, materials, exercise library — plus Katie teaching through live, in-body application so members fully integrate the theory |
| Live application calls | Yes — a weekly practical session, or applied practice folded into the main call | Yes — dedicated live application calls led by Katie |
| Small group calls | Not typically offered | Yes — led by past participants, each teaching through their own voice and lens on EP so members hear the material a fresh way |
| Who teaches application | Often delegated to staff instructors; between-call questions frequently handled by an AI assistant | Katie + coaches trained in the same embodied method |
| Training program alongside | No | Yes — 12 weeks of strength programming so members feel the concepts in their own bodies. Access to 2 different programs to choose from. |
| Active self-assessment taught | Deeper assessment typically taught at separate cost, in an in-person course | Yes — active self-assessment taught as core content, included plus individual feedback to every person. |
| Comprehension checks | Not typically offered | Weekly quizzes to confirm real understanding |
| Individual assessment feedback | Not offered individually | Yes — every person uploads their own or client assessments to Slack; peers comment first, then Katie gives individual feedback to every single participant |
| Specialist guest instruction | Primarily one voice, plus staff | Pelvic floor PT teaches how the work reflects in internal pelvic floor therapy and how to integrate with that world; foot biomechanics specialist teaches a separate lecture and takes members through foot assessment and application; plus tendon health, gait, biotensegrity |
| Certification | Paid certification credential | No certification by design — the focus is real understanding and application, not a paid credential |
| Access between calls | Slack Q&A, often supplemented by an AI assistant | Daily access directly to Katie via Slack + email — a real person, not a bot |
| CEUs | Offered by some programs | Yes — NSCA, NASM, ACE |
