## Story

Amped Fitness has launched the Amped Creator Program, a new platform made to specifically recognize and uplift social media creators who capture content that best exemplifies the brand’s mission of motivating, communal club environments.

With the program’s launch also comes the Amped Summer Creator Challenge, a skill-based content contest that tasks creators with sharing original content featuring or referencing Amped Fitness — all for a $25,000 prize pool.

According to the high-value, low-price (HVLP) gym operator, it’s not just about follower count. Amped will select winners based on a combination of views, engagement, virality, creativity, editing, originality, energy, storytelling, and overall Amped brand fit, in accordance with the contest’s official rules.

“At Amped Fitness, ‘The World is Yours’ is not just something we say. It is how we want people to feel when they walk into our clubs,” said the brand’s chief marketing officer Danyal Ali. “There are people in our gyms every day filming their progress, sharing their routines, making people laugh, and motivating others to keep going. The Amped Creator Program is our way of recognizing them and giving that creativity a bigger platform.”

The challenge runs from June 1 to August 31, with 10 different $1,000 category awards in addition to $10,000 for first place and $5,000 for second place.

Amped is aiming to celebrate anyone documenting their fitness journey, motivating others and building community around exercise, with content like:

- Cinematic training edits

- Transformation stories

- Workout videos and tutorials

- Lifestyle content

- Comedy sketches

- Recovery moments

- Day-in-the-life posts.

“This is for the creators who are already showing up and putting real effort into what they make,” Ali added. “You do not need a massive following to be part of this. If you are using your platform to inspire people, make them laugh, show your progress, or capture what Amped feels like, we want to see it.”
