Amped Fitness

Kildeer – October 15, 2026 -- Amped Fitness is bringing Amped Universe, a gym split into eight themed worlds, to 20771 N. Rand Road in Kildeer, Illinois. The opening date, memberships and presale have not been announced yet.

The concept borrows from amusement park design. Members pass through portals into separate environments rather than walking past rows of equipment on one continuous floor.

Eight worlds replace one gym floor

Each destination is built around a different kind of workout:

Las Vegas – September 21, 2026 -- Amped Fitness has announced plans to open its first Nevada location at 2160 N Rainbow Blvd in Las Vegas, bringing its signature "Amped Universe" concept to the state for the first time.

St. Petersburg – September 13, 2026 -- Amped Fitness named Joel "J.D." Valdez the $10,000 Grand Prize winner of its first Amped Summer Creator Challenge, a three-month contest that drew more than 2,000 creators competing for a $25,000 total prize pool.

Over 100 million views flooded in from thousands of submitted videos

Launched in June as the debut activation of the Amped Creator Program, the challenge invited members to document their personal experiences with the gym brand. Content ranged from transformations and training milestones to friendships and setbacks, collectively racking up more than 100 million views across social media. Amped Fitness distributed the $25,000 prize pool across 12 winners over the course of the summer.
