So thrilled to be back at AMP Association after taking a year off, and WOW – the upgrade was so worth the wait! The new facility is a total game-changer, and it’s clear that AMP has taken things to the next level. From the moment I stepped back in, it felt like I was walking into a whole new world of fitness.
First off, the training here is still as intense and effective as ever. The coaches are super knowledgeable and genuinely invested in helping you reach your goals. It’s the perfect balance of challenging workouts and a supportive community vibe. No matter your level, you’ll feel pushed to be your best without feeling out of place.
The new amenities are what really make the experience shine. There’s now a 7evesea Coffee Co. right inside the gym, which is a total perk for that pre- or post-workout caffeine boost. And let me tell you – the showers are amazing! They’re spotless, spacious, and stocked with everything you need to freshen up after a tough workout, which is such a luxury for a CrossFit gym.
Whether you're a hardcore CrossFit fan or new to the community, AMP Association is the place to be. The new space, the amenities, and the passion from the coaches make this gym a gem in LA. So glad to be back, and can’t recommend it enough to anyone looking for a place to really elevate their fitness game! ??

I originally signed up for AMP in 2019 and have seen an incredible improvement in my fitness. They have recently moved locations to 14th and Olympic in Santa Monica (originally on 19th and Olympic) and the additional space is superb! You have an indoor area where most of the workouts take place, locker rooms with showers and an outside area with picnic benches, coffee shop, sauna, cold plunge and even more workout equipment (if you like to get your tan on while training).
AMP is great for people at any level of fitness because they offer many different types of classes and a very flexible schedule. Personally, my favorite is the Hybrid class where you first have a Strength portion either working squats, deadlifts, push press, bench etc., followed by a WOD which is usually a pretty intense workout that may incorporate some lift like thrusters, snatches, power cleans, STOH and cardio on the machines (row, ski erg, bike erg, echo bike), jump rope, box jumps or a run. But, if you’re not into that style, they also have a Strength class, Open Gym, Olympic Lifting, and various workshops, like a Mobility class for example. There’s workouts every day of the week. Monday-Friday starting at 5am going to 7pm usually, and Saturdays and Sundays starting at 8am. They also have special events that could be fundraisers for charity, beach workouts or their annual AMP Invitational.
Above all, the best part about AMP is the community – the owners, coaches and members. Alex and Ahnna started the gym in 2018, participate in workouts, encourage you when you’re struggling and give you specific tips on areas for improvement. Recently, I was experiencing a bit of discomfort in my elbow area and Ahnna told me that could be due to tight lats and showed me some stretches which has been helping. The coaches, Jake, Leah, Nick, Sarah, Danny, Amanda, Nadya, Nikita, Gus, Juvie, Zack are awesome people, very knowledgeable, they break down each movement, can help you modify a specific activity, keep an eye on each member during the workout and are also very encouraging to keep going the WODs. The members are incredibly awesome, very supportive, help each other out, pick up the weights/barbells, reset the gym before the next class and you can expect a high-five, fist-bump after going through the wringer together. I’d consider many of them friends.
If you’ve been thinking about trying something new or already familiar with Crossfit and want to check it out AMP – you will not be disappointed!

I was in Los Angeles for work, and I was able to do 3 drop-ins. The environment is really great, and the coaches are very friendly and professional. Alex was really accommodating with everything, and there are countless classes available. Highly recommended, it's a pity I had to leave to go back in Switzerland.

The best gym, ever ever. It’s more than a gym, it’s a community of people committed to good living and longevity developed by owners passionate about this lifestyle and coaches who have been hand picked, not just for their exceptional coaching skills, but for their enthusiasm and welcoming spirits.
My husband and I have been coming on and off since they opened; I have been waylaid a bit by injuries and surgeries (not from them!), but my hubs has been going consistently for about 2 years now and me oh my does it show. ?
There are a few different class styles, something I have appreciated especially as I’ve had to rehab after surgery and through pregnancy. I find that even when pregnant, there are so many workouts I can do or easily cater with the help of the coaches.
I personally love the workout structure and the types of equipment used—primarily assault bike, rower, ski, erg bike, barbells, dumbbells, pull-up bar, rings, and kettlebells.
They recently moved to a larger space to better house said equipment, but also with lovely facilities for those of us who need to shower quick before work. They also have a great little cafe truck, green space, cold plunge and sauna, and many community events so people can mingle and get involved.
If you ever wanted to work out like an actor from 300, meet great people, and enjoy sitting for a matcha with your kid in the yard afterwards, this is the place to come. =]

Came to Amp in May 2024 after taking almost 2 years off of fitness. Started at their old location and transitioned to the new spot. At 46 i have never felt stronger in my life. The classes and programming is what i never knew i needed to feel stronger and healthier than ever. And this summer they worked to get my soon to be senior in high school daughter signed up - first minor to be signed up. It took a little time to work out the details but they actually went the extra mile to make it work for me - a new member. I was really stoked. The members are all amazing and i appreciate the hard work and effort of ownership to protect their business.
I highly recommend for beginners and serious fitness athletes.

I have been going to Amp for roughly 3 years now. I started going to Amp to prepare for my first Hyrox back in 2021 and have stayed because of the coaches, the community, and the workouts that are still challenging and different to how I trained before joining. Amp's old gym was great but their new gym is fantastic. Do yourself a favor and come visit, take a class and see for yourself.

I joined in November 2023 thinking « i will just take classes 1-2 times a week to add some variety and fun to my regular workout routine ». I fell in love with the workouts, and the gym from day one. I have never done CrossFit before, but at Amp from the talented coaches to the CF community- everyone was so nice and accepting. I felt welcomed from the moment I arrived and became a regular taking classes 6 times a week. The energy and the atmosphere is great and you leave every workout smiling. Not only did I take my training to another level, I also made great friends ! Best gym and community ever!

Joining AMP Association has been a game-changer for me. After a few trial classes, I proudly signed on as a full-time member. AMP Association is so much more than just a gym; it’s a community filled with amazing people who make the experience truly special. As a soccer player and marathon runner, jumping back into strength training has been incredibly beneficial. Since joining, I've continued to break personal records in all my race times. If you're looking for a competitive yet supportive and motivating environment to achieve your fitness goals, I highly recommend AMP Association!

I have nothing but great things to say about AMP. The new facility, the new equipment, the amazing coaches, the ever changing programs but most of all it's the community and friendships that are made here that really set this gym apart.

One of the nicest gyms I have ever worked out in. Been going for 18 months and workouts are structured in one hour (very efficient) and allows you to track your progress through great programming. Great blend of strength training and cardio all while meeting a great community.

I joined at the end of May of 2024 and truly couldn’t be happier at Amp. The workouts and trainers have pushed me harder than I have ever pushed myself. On top of that the community here is extremely welcoming! Especially, if you’re new to CrossFit like myself they made it less intimidating. Going here is the best part of my day! I would highly recommend this gym !!
