Fitness center

👍👍 My friends and I have been going to Amp consistently for about four months now, and have all noticed that our butts look GREAT. For that, Amp can have all my money... On a more serious note, Amp is the first gym that actually gets me excited to get up and work out 5-6 mornings a week. I am 30 years...

    My friends and I have been going to Amp consistently for about four months now, and have all noticed that our butts look GREAT. For that, Amp can have all my money... On a more serious note, Amp is the first gym that actually gets me excited to get up and work out 5-6 mornings a week. I am 30 years old and have never in my life been more consistent in setting aside time to exercise as I have been since I joined this gym. Every class is different and pushes you to be your best, so you never get bored and (safely) learn what your body and mind are made of. Few experiences feel better than thinking that you do not have the strength/endurance to finish a workout, but then your awesome coaches encourage you and push you to not only finish, but leave knowing that you are both mentally and physically stronger than you thought. The community is amazing as well. The owners, coaches, and members are all really good people that support and genuinely care about each other. That is a huge part of what makes this place so great. There are no shortcuts. These are not Kardashian workouts. You will sweat, sometimes your lungs will burn, you will push yourself to your limits... and you will love the results.

    I HIGHLY recommend this gym! The space is great, workouts are challenging, and trainers are very knowledgeable. I've worked out at similar gyms around Santa Monica, but I've seen those crowding too many people into a class such that trainers can't help people with their form and to the point of risking injuries. Amp is for all levels - beginners or advanced, everyone will get a great workout and learn something new. Plus classes are fun with their strong sense of community and the owners are the best!!

    If you're looking for more than just a gym and to achieve more physically than you ever thought possible, then Amp is the place! Amazing coaches and community - everyone is so supportive and dedicated. Ahnna and Alex really go the distance to ensure every member feels valued and reaches their full potential in every workout - no matter their fitness level. Workouts, equipment, facility and location are all awesome... Now when are you guys going to open up in more cities so I can train there all the time?!

    Amp is truly an amazing gym with amazing owners! I have been going to Amp for almost two years now, and it has been the best decision for my health and fitness. From day one, the owners Alex and Ahnna, made sure I felt welcomed and supported. At the start of Covid, they made a smooth and safe transition into outdoor training, implemented new cleaning protocols, and took responsible precautions putting the safety of their members first. The coaches are extremely knowledgeable and provide challenging workouts which can be scaled to ability. I cannot say enough amazing things about Amp as a gym, the owners, and community of members. Amp recently received a negative review by someone who didn’t get a refund for unused days of their membership (which is absolutely absurd) ...I wonder if this Kelly Merydith also asks Netflix to refund her for days she doesn’t watch a movie?

    I'm don't think I can put into words just how amazing Amp is.. I joined the gym in June and after one class, I was hooked. I never enjoyed working out, partly because some gyms are intimidating or the people are very judgmental. I never felt that way during a workout. The coaches are extremely helpful, supportive, and motivating. The members are always there for support during your workout and the gym really feels like a family! By joining amp, I gained confidence in myself, strength both mentally and physically, learned more about my health and body, and I love working out now! I moved out of state in November and leaving the gym was the hardest part of leaving California. I don't think another gym can replace Amp! The precautions taken to protect the coaches and members are taken seriously and makes working out enjoyable while being safe. They also have clear guidelines on cancellations/ late fees and the money collected from those get donated to charity.. safe to say I’ve had a few rough mornings and contributed to the donation but the policies help keep members accountable for their actions. If you're new to working out or a gym rat, Amp is for everyone!

    Amp is more than a gym, it’s a family. Ahnna and Alex have poured their heart and soul into making this community supportive and passionate. I have never worked so hard at a gym and I always want to work harder because everyone is giving 100% effort everyday. If you’re a beginner or advanced, Ahnna, Alex and the coaches will get you to your next goal. Don’t be afraid to come down a try a class, you will be supported but everyone.

    I started coming to AMP in June on their free trial and was instantly hooked. I now have been a member at the gym for about 7 months. My whole life I viewed working out as a job or chore but after coming to AMP I can truly say I love working out. I have never been so motivated and excited to workout. Alex and Ahana have created such an amazing community and environment for all levels. AMP has pushed me to heights I never thought I could have achieved. The workouts are challenging and always dynamic. Very grateful to have found AMP during such a hard year, thank you Alex and Ahana for starting this gym and community!

    I've been going to AMP for almost a year and I truly love being a part of this gym! The owners and coaches are super friendly and knowledgeable. I find that a lot of gyms will just go over the movement once (if at all) and expect you to figure it out, but at AMP, they really take the time to go over everything with you and monitor progress. They've also taken the initiative to really build a strong community with fun monthly socials and competitions. I highly recommend this gym!

    Nothing but love for AMP. Have been going here for two months now and feeling better than ever. Coaches are attentive, skilled, and super helpful. If you are looking to get going with your fitness I can't recommend this enough.

    I’ve been going to this gym for a couple months and the workouts are great! I started with the week free trial and got hooked. I’m not usually into classes but this place has changed my tune. It is a great atmosphere with outdoor space, great coaching, and a supportive community feel. Definitely recommend to check out for a week trial if you’re interested!

    I am not a morning person, repeat NOT a morning person, yet somehow AMP gets me to wake up every morning for a 7am workout. Is it the awesome community/athletes that I get to workout beside? Is it the friendly coaches who push and believe in me (maybe even more so than I do myself)? Is it the tough programming that keeps everyday new, exciting and challenging? Its all of it, and more. So happy to have found this amazing community, can't imagine my life without it.

    Cannot recommend Amp enough to anyone living in west LA. The coaches are great and the workouts are challenging, but the two things I love most about Amp are the culture and community. It is nearly impossible to find a gym that isn’t centered around “burning calories,” “earning your dessert,” or encouraging members to strive for thinness/to look a certain way. There is NEVER any conversation about striving to look any type of way at Amp, the goal is to get stronger and that is made clear through the programming and conversations in class between members and coaches alike. It’s an inclusive gym where everyone is welcome regardless of how you look or what your strength level is. The community is what has kept me coming back for the two years I’ve had a membership. The owners’ commitment to scheduling socials monthly and skill-building workshops creates time for members to connect in an organic way that does not feel forced at all. If you asked me why I enjoy working out, I would tell you it’s because I get to move my body outside with my friends and my dedicated “workout” time has also become my social time. This place really is the best!!

    You won't find a gym with better trainers or facilities in LA. I joined the gym over the pandemic and have been a consistent member since. The workouts are great and the classes are small enough where the trainer can give you the attention you need. The owners do an amazing job creating a community at the gym by organizing fun social events that are highly attended. Regardless of physical fitness level, this gym will give you a great workout.

    I’ve been a member of amp association for over a year now and it has been the best decision I’ve ever made! I moved to LA a year prior and found it hard to meet new people. Once I moved closer to Santa Monica, I searched for gyms that had a welcoming atmosphere, community building events, top tier coaching, accountability and I’ve found all those things in amp. The owners Alex and Ahnna also make it a point to know every member that joins the gym, making it feel like family. If you’re looking for a place to push yourself physically and build new friendships, this is the place for you!

    Very nice gym with lots of equipment for CrossFit. Convenient schedule with many classes per day, you can come at any time and do your workout. In addition to group workouts there is an open gym, which is very convenient! And the most important thing about this gym is the excellent coaching staff and friendly, positive atmosphere! If you haven't tried CrossFit yet, AMP Association is the place to start!

    I happened to be there because I had a week of work in the area. This is a professional place with an excellent team of trainers who are pleasant, kind and nice. Each and every one of the professional staff that I spoke with demonstrated a particularly high level of professionalism and all with a smile. I would like to point out that the trainers themselves were also very nice and there are some beautiful female trainers there. If I have the chance to come to Santa Monica again, you can be sure I will go back there. highly recommend.

    I stumbled upon Amp by chance during COVID-19 in 2020, and I'm grateful I did. Ahnna & Alex are extremely knowledgeable, and, perhaps more importantly, they have created a great gym culture at Amp. Everyone is at a different stage on their individual fitness journey, but there are no egos. People encourage and support each other every single class. We get better together. All of the coaches (Lea, Nick, Harold, Jake, and Juvie) are excellent, and I've picked up a lot of great tips from them. Regardless of the coach or the scheduled workout for the day, you know the coach will help you perfect your form while pushing you to get better. If you are looking for a challenging workout in a positive gym environment while supporting a great local business, then I'd highly recommend giving it a try!

    AMP Fitness Rocks! Every single instructor is positive, easy to work with and knowledgeable. I use to go to a ‘normal’ gym and won’t be going back. The class programming is excellent and it’s very motivating to workout with the group. People cheer each other on and push each to do their best. The owners Alex and Ahnna are super cool and are extremely helpful. It’s obvious through their passion that they care about their business and making sure everyone is happy and getting the best results. Highly Recommend!
