Amazing classes with amazing instructors! Able to adapt from the novice to the advanced. You are not a number or even just a face. You are a person they know your name and strive to help you become the very best!

Was a little weary heading in considering I'm not exactly in shape at the moment, but I couldn't believe how the instructors set the workout up for me to go at a pace I can handle and enjoy, can't wait to get back for more classes!!! Absolutely top notch!

I gotta say John @ AMPED knows exactly what he is doing! I’ve known him for a few years now and his dedication to the sport reflects great credit to his new gym and the classes he runs. I went for the Boot Camp class as well as boxing, and let me tell you I haven’t been that winded from a work out since actual Marine Corps boot camp. It is easy to get to, great location, and just a really nice gym.

We highly recommend this establishment! Master John is awesome with the kids. I have a 3 year old and a 6 year old. Both love taking his classes! We currently pulled our daughter out for the fall because of all her activities and she asks me everyday when is she going back! I have also noticed a huge change in my son since he started his classes! His patience... focusing...awareness... discipline... and most of all him having so much fun! Great job Master John!

I took a class at this facility and I was impressed by the knowledge and professionalism here. They are dedicated to pushing you to your limits , while making sure their techniques are top notch. I would recommend these guys to anyone. Make sure when you get there , you are ready to work. You'll need the extra shirts.

Instructor John is the REAL DEAL! He simply knows what works and what's flat out useless material. Instructor John has done exactly what every student dreams of. He shows you what works and has "trimmed the fat" or otherwise useless techniques off of self defense. Instructor John proves his style works on a day to day basis, dealing with the worst of the worst. John has had to deal with the worst type of criminals possible,in real world scenarios and he has prevailed. I couldn't think of a better person to have training me. As a student you excel a great deal faster then you would at a traditional school, due to the fact that at Amped, they get down to buisness! The North New Jersey area has been waiting for what I like to call the "Truth"in self defense and personal fitness! To get a better view of this, schedule a one on one with Instructor John, and it won't take but a few seconds to know for sure, he's very serious when it comes to personal safety. After all he is an instructor at the prison as well, simply put, if he gives bad instructions people get hurt or worse. Once again he's prevailed, and there's an ever-growing list of correctional officer's that use his techniques, at work and in their daily lives. Anyone not signed up already is simply missing out. Get off the couch, get out of the house and go sign up. Make the change that your body and your mind deserve.

It's a great environment and the people are very nice, John is super helpful and will help you if you have any questions or concerns. This is definitely a great academy and it's always a great session when training with John.

Very friendly and knowledgeable staff. Had a great workout and had fun at the same time. I can't wait to go back and hit some more pads. Definitely recommend to anyone at any skill level.

Excellent school with outstanding instructors. They break the techniques down for you, and point out the "do's and don'ts" of each technique, so as to avoid falling into bad habits. They are patient and really want to make sure you get it right. I highly recommend this school. If you really want to be a well-rounded fighter, this is the place to go On top of it, they have a beautiful facility.

One of the best classes I've taken and I've been to several. If Amped was a little closer I'd be a daily regular,but I will make it a point to attend as much as possible. Bar none a fantastic training facility, knowledgeable staff, intense yet fun atmosphere, challenging yet satisfying. Thanks John for your hospitality!

Best MMA gym in the area and affordable. The owner John is an excellent instructor who adapts training for all skill levels from beginner to advanced. Very positive environment for adults, teens and children male and female. Practical self defense techniques are incorporated in the training.

When I first decided to check out amped MMA I was fairly nervous, never done any kind of training and was not exactly in shape to say the least. I was amazing at how quickly John and the staff made me feel comfortable with what we were doing at a pace I could handle, now I'm hooked and can't wait to get back for more classes! Can't say enough about everyone over at Amped helping me make changes in my life.
