The Empowered Level Up Program was created because Michele Maupin refused to accept that aging had to mean weight gain, declining health, and lower expectations.
In her 20s, Michele Maupin began training others in martial arts, flexibility, and fitness. Over the years, corporate responsibilities took center stage, and fitness became something she kept on the side.
By late 2025, she was overworked, highly stressed, and heavier than she had ever been. When she was told that this was simply part of getting older, she decided to prove otherwise.
She began tracking nutrition, increasing protein, eating more whole foods, walking 7,000–10,000 steps a day, and returned to the gym with consistency. The results came—but so did a realization. Random workouts and ideas from social media influencers were not enough. She needed a real system with structure, progression, and milestones worth celebrating.
Empowered Level Up is for high-performing (think busy, stressed, time and self-care starved) women who want to Lose 15 pounds in 90 days and keep it off, The Empowered Way!
No extremes, no all-or-nothing plans — just the structure, support, and consistency to stop starting over.
We’ll continue to build realistic habits around movement, nutrition, sleep, and consistency, so you can go into each new birthday feeling stronger and work toward being in the best shape of your life!
The Empowered Level Up Program was built for people who want a defined path to achieve their goals and proof that their next chapter can be stronger than the last.
Michele Maupin is a NASM-certified personal trainer and nutritionist whose approach to coaching is grounded in customization, progression, and empowerment. She began her fitness career in 2003 at American Family Karate & Fitness in Sherwood, Oregon, where she earned her black belt in karate and built the foundation for her belief that meaningful progress is best made one step at a time.
