From Penn State swimmer to running Empire’s day-to-day — Sammy sits down with GM and coach Austin for the story behind the scenes. Austin shares why he walked away from a traditional 9-to-5, how a random Wednesday drop-in class turned him into a member, then a coach, then GM, and what actually makes Empire’s group programing work — from avoiding trend-chasing workouts to training every skill level in the same room without losing intensity. They also get into their working dynamic and what it takes to build something that’s become a real part of Raleigh’s fitness community.
