AMP Athletic has been *the* highlight of our move to London, and easily the best fitness experience we’ve had to date. My wife and I are so grateful to have found this community and gym, and simply can’t recommend it enough. It’s one of those rare places that has truly exceeded expectations in all ways. We looked at a number of other options in the area (including Third Space), and have had experience with gyms in the US (like Equinox) – truly nothing has come close to the experience here. You will not regret checking it out!

Above all, the people are what make this place extra special. The coaches (Grace, Isabel, Dan, Jonathan, Tom) are so kind, warm, and encouraging, while also knowing exactly how to push and challenge you in the right way. They’re genuinely A+ humans and a joy to be around, which makes showing up consistently both fun and motivating. It’s a rare balance – supportive, yet always pushing you to grow, improve, and be your best – and they get that combination right. We’re incredibly thankful for them and the environment they’ve created, which makes it so easy and genuinely enjoyable/fun to keep coming back multiple times per week.

The front-of-house team (Cara, Natasha, Verity) are equally welcoming and set a warm tone from the moment you walk in. They greet members and serve great coffee from the espresso machine, which is a nice touch before or after a workout. They’re also highly responsive and organized over email, helping everything run seamlessly.

The space itself is beautiful, recently renovated, and exceptionally clean, with great changing rooms and shower facilities. It’s clear a lot of care goes into cleanliness + maintenance. It’s also tucked away on a charming little mew just off the high street, which makes it feel both special and incredibly convenient. Overall, huge credit to the owner, Steve Mellor, and managers (Jess, Steve) for creating and running such a special place. Thank you!

The training format is another standout. It combines the attention and coaching quality of personal training with the energy of a group setting, helping build a strong sense of community. Coaches take the time to refine technique, adjust weights, and guide progression. Before AMP, I wasn’t lifting much and felt intimidated by heavier lifts, but the coaches here give you the confidence and structure to progress safely. I already feel noticeably stronger (and am excited for more progress to come). It’s incredibly motivating and makes you want to keep showing up, especially when you’re surrounded by other members whose strength + progress inspire you as well.

The class schedule is flexible with great variety (including access to additional sessions like Team Training and Pilates, which I’ve recently started and found to be a great complement – thank you to Kelly, Jazz, Verity). Overall, it feels like excellent value for money, especially compared to personal training, and it’s been great that my wife and I can attend together or separately -whatever our schedules allow.

It’s also worth calling out how exceptional they’ve been with my wife, who has trained here throughout her pregnancy. The coaches have been thoughtful and proactive in modifying movements for her, ensuring she feels safe, supported, yet still challenged. It’s made a meaningful difference for her both physically and mentally, and has undoubtedly been an important part of her smooth and positive pregnancy experience. I’ve seen the same level of care extended to many other members, whether due to injury, age, or experience level.

Beyond the workouts, the community is something special. There’s a genuinely inclusive, friendly mix of people of all ages + backgrounds, and it’s easy to meet others. I’ve had the chance to meet and connect with some really great people.

Overall, AMP delivers an exceptional level of coaching, community, and overall experience. It’s rare to find a place that gets so many things right. We genuinely can’t imagine our routine without it and feel lucky to have found it so early in our time in London!
