ABOUT US

EMP Performance was founded & opened by  best mates of over 10 years Luke Preston & Mel Bteddini in 2020.

With both being high level rugby league players & athletes along with both having a passion in fitness they decided to join forces.

Having planned to officially open their first facility in French's Forest March 2020, they were thrown a spanner with the upcoming covid pandemic.  

EMP sat empty for 2 months during the first lockdown and then had to endure 3 lockdowns in the first 2 years of operation.

It certainly was a test of character for Luke & Mel as coaches & new business owners.

But it's their passion for helping others & staying true to the EMP vision, was what helped them get through & build the ever growing TeamEMP community.
