CLUB 40. A MILESTONE. A MOVEMENT. A NEW ERA. 💙⚡️

Coral Springs, you were worth the wait.

We didn’t just open another gym. We broke records, pushed boundaries, and brought a whole new vision to life.

Introducing EDLP — Experience Design, Low Price. Every detail was designed to create an unforgettable experience from the moment you walk in to the moment you leave.

To Travis, our construction and marketing teams, and especially OUR TEAM — thank you for believing, building, and bleeding blue since day one. 💙

A special thank you to Red Bull for your sponsorship and support. Your partnership helped make this milestone even more memorable, and we’re grateful to have you with us as we continue to grow.

And to the Coral Springs community and our members: when others doubted, you believed. You trusted the vision before you could experience it, stood behind us, and supported us every step of the way. You are the reason this milestone means so much.

This accomplishment belongs to all of us.

What a blessing it is to be part of a company that refuses to settle for average and to help pioneer an entirely new era of fitness.

CLUB 40. ONE-OF-ONE EXPERIENCE. 💙

We didn’t just open a gym. We made history.

And we’re only getting started. ⚡️

…and that’s 40
.
First and foremost congratulations to the @ampeduniverse and @tlabazzo and @steve___thomas on their 40th location, across six states. At the same time, thank you so much to those same people, among many others, for the opportunity to be a part of this. To celebrate my 10th year of tenure, and the 40th location opened in the same year is quite a treat, and quite a blessing at the same time. As always, this opening was a masterclass in hard work, perseverance, and outstanding leadership. What an honor to sit front row
.
A special thanks to @tlabazzo for being an amazing leader and friend. None of this would’ve possible without you. Infinite gratitude brother
@mlabazzo for being my proverbial “Big” in the crazy world of construction. Thank you brother 🤝
@danyalali_ thank you again for the opportunity to work by your side while Amped Fitness created history 🤝

🏆LOCATION 39 IS OFFICIALLY OPEN 🏆

Westheimer, we did that!! Every milestone hit, every goal smashed, and the bar raised over and over again.

This location hits different because it’s the first one I’ve opened in my new position. For the first time, instead of being fully in the trenches, I got to step back, watch my team do what they do, and witness just how badass we really are—and how we always get it done.

This team stayed resilient through every challenge and continued to show up. I couldn’t be more proud to open these doors alongside them.

We set the goal. We smashed it. Then we raised it. 💪🏼🚀

*catches breath* What an August….from the mountains of Arizona, the Waters of Bimini, right back to the humidity of Houston! It’s such a blessing to be a part of something so much bigger than myself and to be taken on such a wild ride. Thank you @tlabazzo and @steve___thomas for all the amazing events, trips, and opportunities over so many years. It’s a pride point to say I work for the two of you, to be a part of Amped

It’s a blessed life ✝️

2026 has been an eventful year, to say the least.

Three grand openings. Three cities. One month.
(36) Bedford → (37) Sugar Land → (38) Mesa.

We launched the first-ever Amped Universe, shattered records we didn’t think were possible, and built something truly special.

This weekend I finally had a chance to unplug and reflect. The early mornings, late nights, constant travel, time zone changes, and months of preparation were all worth it the moment we opened those doors.

The best part wasn’t the numbers it was the people.

All three teams spent months grinding in the heat, trusting the process, and finally got to experience the payoff on opening day. None of this would’ve been possible without their resilience, commitment, and belief in the vision. 👊🏼

A huge thank you to our corporate and construction teams who continue to show up and pour everything they have into every single opening. I’ve had the privilege of working alongside some of the hardest-working people in this industry people I’m proud to call family. Their work ethic, resilience, and commitment make everyone around them better.

The New Club Openings team isn’t for everyone, and we’re proud of that. It takes sacrifice, grit, adaptability, and an unwavering commitment to excellence. That’s a badge of honor we’ll continue to wear proudly.

A special thank you to Travis for constantly pouring into us, believing in us, and challenging us to raise the standard every single day. Your leadership always makes a bigger impact than you’ll probably ever know.

And to Quinn thank you for being my constant through all of it. The flights, the hotel check-ins, the long days, the time apart, the last-minute changes… you’ve been my partner in every sense of the word. I couldn’t have asked for a better person to do life alongside. ❤️

To every team member and every founding member who believed in the vision before it came to life—thank you. 🙏

July, thank you for the memories.

On to the next. 🚀

You look for a job cause you need money, or a start, maybe a restart…you don’t expect to find a career at 21 out of a part time job cleaning up at a small gym. But that’s what I got. 10 years of unparalleled opportunity and growth. 10 years of irreplaceable memories and friends. 10 years of “what if it’s better than you could even imagine.” 10 years ago today I walked into Amped Fitness just a couple weeks after they first opened in beautiful St. Petersburg, FL…and I’m so damn glad I did. Here’s to the next 10 🍾
.
Thank you to everyone who’s been on this Journey with me, whether at a time, or still now. The whole reason I’m here is you.
