There is no power assist on 737 doors.

When opening with girt bar engaged it does take a lot of strength - usual practice is to push the slide out with your foot as you open the door.

I'm somewhat surprised that training doesn't include firing at least one slide as the difference between that and normal door opening is quite pronounced.
