I must say that having been an accomplished social and competitive dance instructor for over 18 years I was excited to be a newcomer student in something. But as an almost 40yr old who has always been active but never athletic, I was a little nervous......right up until I met the staff and students at AMP. Given my schedule at the moment, I am currently only attending 1 class per week. But every week I make progress and accomplish things I couldn't do the week prior. There is a strong amount of support, guidance, and celebration from the entire AMP family. Josh makes sure that we are challenged to our personal limits and supports our growth towards our individual goals and achievements. There are no cliques at AMP. The really skilled students are happy to share tips and strategies with those like me who are just getting started. Coming from someone with no previous upper body strength and couldn't even do a pull-up prior....I must say that my wife likes the new pecs and biceps that I've developed. Whether you are thinking of competitive ninja warrior training or just, "Those obstacles look fun. Wouldn't it be nice if I had those skills?" I urge you to...
Read moreI can't say enough good things about AMP Academy. My kids have been going to AMP's Ninja Kids class for the past two years, and although they've since moved on to other interests (as many kids do), they've become better kids as a result. What I've noticed which is most important: EVERY kid is welcome regardless of their athletic ability, and every kid receives an equal amount of attention. There are no "favorites" here... Josh (the owner) and his instructors spend time helping every student use their own strengths to conquer each obstacle, and they also ensure that everyone in the class stays focused. No kid leaves this class feeling like they were left out.
Class sizes are reasonable (usually around 10-12 students, less in the summer), and they set up new obstacles frequently so there's very little repetition. My review is based only on AMP's Ninja Kids class, but they've got an assortment of other classes as well; Parkour, Capoeira, etc. The first class is always free... even if it wasn't, AMP Academy would still be worth...
Read moreBefore joining AMP my son (4yoa) was jumping from couch to couch, bed to bed and wanted to try the roof. We called AMP with the hope that we could focus Quins energy in a safe and positive way and still allow him to challenge himself. That’s exactly what we got!! Quin has learned exercises that he does daily now and gets to push his physical limits in an environment that’s safe and controlled. The teacher (Josh) does an excellent job of managing the kids and teaching discipline while allowing them to have fun and participate in different challenges/obstacles. Quin has literally shown every member of the family and his pre K class how he does a push up now and always says “Josh taught me this.” I love the confidence this has instilled in him and the safe outlet for his energy. Strongly encourage anyone with a young child, girl or boy, to look into this. My daughter, who was just born, will be enrolled to the mini ninja class as...
