The Smart Fitness Solution For A Compact Urban Lifestyle

Amp is the AI-powered home gym that fits small spaces—offering full-body workouts without the bulky equipment.

Written by Wyles Daniel

Living in a small apartment can be a workout on its own; constantly shifting furniture, finding storage space, and navigating what was pitched as an "open floor plan." Even thinking of fitting a full-body workout machine in such a tiny place must seem impossible. Fortunately, there's a new solution on the market.

amp is a smart strength device that's changing entire narratives that surround what home workout equipment can look like, feel like, or be used for. The device is able to incorporate more than 450 exercises into a single, innovative artificial intelligence (AI)-powered machine. In one compact design, the amp is everything one needs for a serious workout at home — there's no need to set foot inside a gym.

"We believe strength training is an essential daily routine," the company website states, "and amp was founded to introduce it into every life, home, and ambition."

Small Spaces Demand Compact Equipment

Traditional home workout equipment assumes that users have access to extra space, which can be dedicated to a machine. A gym setup, which includes a treadmill, a weight bench, and a rack of dumbbells, can quickly occupy 100 square feet or more, and small apartments just don't have that kind of space. What amp offers is versatility over volume, providing a complete workout with minimal equipment.

Mounted to an apartment wall, amp extends only a single foot into one's living space. Otherwise, the machine's 12 square feet of occupancy is entirely vertical. Despite its small profile, amp's 70 pounds of equipment is able to provide up to 100 pounds of electromagnetic resistance during a workout. Instead of taking up most of an apartment, amp is often less obtrusive than a piece of art, while providing similar versatility to traditional equipment.

Smart Technology For An Effective Workout

When space is limited, efficiency is key. Promising a full body workout machine, amp eliminates the need for multiple pieces of equipment and still manages to target every muscle group with its variety of exercises, all from a single position. Upper body, lower body, and core strength are all supported by amp's workout solution.

Additionally, amp uses AI to maximize a user's results while enabling them to focus on results. The device tracks weights and reps automatically, learning up to 15 users' strength patterns, suggesting progression paths, and adapting workouts based on energy level and available time. When a user shows up ready for a workout, amp can cover the rest.

amp also includes app integration to improve the overall exercise experience, acting as a personal trainer, workout tracker, and motivation system all in one. Through the amp app, the strength device provides users with workout videos from renowned trainers that have been specifically designed for compact spaces. It also includes gamified challenges to keep things interesting, alongside progress tracking so users can see how they've improved over time.

An Installation Process That Skips the Hassle

It's easy to understand why a user might see a product like amp and assume that the installation process will be a nightmare. Installing anything in an apartment or other rental can be tricky, and many promising devices have overly complex assembly requirements. Fortunately, amp has taken a different approach to the installation process.

Supported by only eight mounting points, amp's requirements are similar to those of a large TV. According to the company's website, installing an amp machine typically takes just 30 minutes to complete. What's more, the user doesn't actually have to install it themselves. Starting at $1795, users are provided with white-glove service, including wall assessment, setup, and installation - the company handles delivery and setup so users don't have to do a thing.

One Device For Full-Body Results

For those looking for a compact home gym that delivers results without demanding space, amp may be the right solution. Whether it's the clunky home equipment or a cumbersome gym commute, amp replaces these and any excuses with an effective full body workout machine that any apartment can handle. It certainly doesn't hurt that amp offers access to pro-level coaching, personalized programs, and real-time feedback without added prices.

Ultimately, amp stands out as a workout device that actually considers the needs of compact living. Where standard setups simply won't fit in, amp represents a sleek, AI-powered solution. With amp, any user who's willing to put in the work can have access to full-body results without sacrificing space.
