A Different Kind of Gym for Teenagers
Teenagers are in an unusual position when it comes to fitness.
Many kids’ programs are designed for younger children, while traditional commercial gyms are primarily built around adults exercising independently.
Amped gives teenagers another option.
Instead of only sitting on strength machines or spending an hour on cardio equipment, teens can learn to move through a dynamic training environment that challenges multiple physical abilities.
Training can involve:
Running
Jumping
Climbing
Hanging
Swinging
Carrying
Pushing
Pulling
Balancing
Accelerating
Decelerating
Changing direction
Navigating obstacles
Controlling their own body weight
The purpose is not simply to complete a workout.
The goal is to become stronger, fitter, more coordinated and more physically capable.
Teen Strength and Conditioning in Grand Prairie, TX
Strength training for teenagers is sometimes misunderstood.
Appropriately designed and supervised resistance training is widely recognized in scientific and professional literature as an acceptable part of youth physical development.
Good teen strength training is not about copying an advanced adult bodybuilding workout.
It should emphasize appropriate progression, good technique, movement quality and training that matches the participant’s age, maturity and experience.
At Amped Obstacles, strength can be developed through a combination of traditional exercises, bodyweight movements and obstacle-based challenges.

If your teenager already plays a sport, Amped can provide a supplemental training environment outside of team practice.
