Hey Owen,

Can you post the testimonials as comments for each person here?

Ravin Aulak - Having been a client of Owen's for over 5 years, I can honestly say that he is amazing at what he does. What I admire about Owen the most as a trainer is that he is so invested in his work and his students - he genuinely wants to see us make progress and this is reflected in his commitment to his work and his approach to training. Over the years, I have watched AMPfit grow into a very unique fitness environment that goes above and beyond what I have seen at any other gym. Not only do you get Owen as an extremely knowledgeable, qualified and committed trainer, but you also become a part of a community of students who encourage and support each other's fitness goals.

Bernicia Yee - When I first started with AMP, I noticed a great difference in the training with Owen than when I just went to a gym on my own. Not only is Owen there to teach all the proper techniques of weight training, he's always there to help you improve. I've learned so many ways of working out - without all those machines you see at the gym. I've always been a person that doubted myself in doing certain things but Owen always encourages and pushes you just enough while also listening to any concerns or answering any questions you may have. The atmosphere at AMP is also very different from a regular gym. Everyone is very friendly and you get to know one another. AMP is a very good gym for anyone in any fitness level because he is able to assess what needs to be worked on in any level and if you are looking for a trainer that is motivating, patient and most importantly knows his stuff, this is for you.

Sean Koo - Owen is a great trainer and AMPFit is a great place to be. I've learned things training here I didn't know before and definitely improved on things I could do before. It's rare to work out somewhere where you can have a balance of being challenged physically and also have positive influences from the people around you. Everyone at AMP feels like family. It's easy to walk in the door and just forget about whatever else is going on elsewhere. I don't think I've ever been at a gym where I have the perfect balance in exercise along with personal happiness until I came here.

Susana Pau - AMPFit is not your typical gym. In society's view, a typical gym would have equipment such as treadmill, elliptical and exercise bikes. However, at AMPFit, these machines are nowhere to be seen. The equipment available at AMPFit are squat racks, barbells and kettle bells. At first, these exercising tools might be a bit intimidating because it is not something we were exposed to during our high school stages of life. Or, if someone, at a typical gym was using a barbell, they would be lifting a lot of weight. At AMPFit, we are taught to maintain proper form and posture so that we can use these fitness tools to help us achieve or goals. With correct techniques we can build on them and slowly increase our ability to lift much more. I am very happy with my progress at AMPFit. Not only is this a gym, but this is a community where everyone knows everyone and everyone is encouraging each other to continuously making progress. Owen's goals is for us to utilize all the muscles in our bodies to achieve goals that are unimaginable, yet.

Victor Tang - AMPFit is a gym unlike any other I've been to. Owen fosters an environment of both discipline and enjoyment. My previous aversion to workout has been replaced with excitement each time I enter AMPFit. Working out at AMPFit is fun, and the people there warm and welcoming. thanks to AMPFit, I've been able to reach new heights in my strength, fitness and flexibility.

Jennifer Chen - Working in the healthcare industry I’ve witnessed numerous collegues injure their bodies while tending to the sick. My original goal of joining AMPFit was to simply avoid this by developing a stronger core and body. Not only has my experience at Ampfit achieved this, I’ve begun to set more specific goals in my strength training and am always learning something new. I really appreciate Owen’s emphasis on proper lifting technique and engaging all muscle groups for a full body work out each time. Most importantly, I've been able to take the skills I’ve learned from AMPFitand apply them to my daily work environment and active lifestyle. My advice to anyone who is on the fence about joining is to try it, be patient, and stay consistent. You will discover the benefits are so empowering and priceless. To those who have a background in lifting, Owen has great equipment! And an ever growing knowledge base that might just help you break your next PR. Thank you AMPFit for your time and faith in me!

Ben Gee - AMPfit is a fun and friendly training environment for anyone. But don't be mistaken, Owen will push you to your limits and to blood, sweat and sometimes tears. In all seriousness, I have been training at AMPfit for a year and a half, and with the guidance of Owen I have made tremendous progress in strength and overall fitness. Owen is a very knowledgeable and motivational trainer who has instilled me with a better knowledge in lifting (i.e. squats, deadlifts, bench, etc.) confidence and powerful glutes. His programs are tough but fun and adaptable to fit any fitness goals. I would recommend anyone who is new or experienced with lifting to try AMPfit #noragrets.

Alan Lee - I've been at AMP for over a year now and I can say that I've made a lot of progress in terms of my overall strength and fitness. Starting out I was not able to lift heavy weights but with a workout plan tailored to my goals, I've been able to set new personal records for weightlifting and will look to compete in the future.

Anthony Ma - Owen is a passionate, knowledgeable, and technical trainer. I had severe back problems for 3 years, being refined to the couch and not being able to sit or walk properly. I tried everything but it wasn't until I started training at AMPFit that i realized my core deficiencies were leading to recurring back pain. I didn't really know how to activate my core but now I know how important it is to a strong and functional healthy body. Thank you Owen!

Teresa Lee - Before I joined AMPFIT, I've never heard of a "kettlebell" and never thought I would be into weight training. I've tried many different things from yoga to kickboxing to bootcamp type classes but they never kept my interest for long. Then I joined AMPFIT, which turned out to be more than just a gym but a community as well. I've made many friends through AMP and new members are always welcomed with a smile by existing members.

It doesn't matter if you're a complete work out newbie or on your way to weightlifting competitions, Owen is able to assess your fitness level and adapt your workout program specifically to your goals. Even after 3 years at AMP, I'm still motivated, learning and "always making progress" to improve my form and technique to achieve new goals.

My reasons you should join AMP:

• Learn a good set of foundation movements (or even if you've been working out for a while, Owen is a technique master and would have great feedback to take you to the next level)
• Work with an attentive trainer who can teach you proper technique, adapt to your needs and help you meet your goals
• Meet great people, rather than just clocking in and out at a corporate gym, come make some friends!

Allan Wu - My fitness journey has come with many twists and turns. Before AMPFit, my lifts weren't at the level that I wanted. Because of this, I started talking to Owen about helping me increase my strength. He put on a strength program to improve my lifts, by working on my foundation and basics. At first I didn't know what to expect, and the journey to get there wasn't easy. But the end result was many new personal records. Sometimes all you really need is to go back to the basics. Be happy with your progress, no matter how small, because it is the small gains that will lead to big things in the long run. Thank Owen for your help, coaching, and being a great friend. In 2015, I hope for more PR's, and awesome lifting to come. Thank AMPFit, I will be always be making progress every time I come.

Linh Le - In a word, AMPfit is wonderful.

The facility and equipment are of extremely high quality, and can serve to fullfill any fitness goal that you may have. But what separates AMPfit from the rest is its encouraging and fun atmosphere. Everyone is open and friendly, and will immediately make you feel welcomed and included in a big AMPfit family, regardless of gender, age, race, preferences, or level of fitness!

Owen embodies the namesake of the gym itself; he is always striving to make progress in his own fitness and exercise knowledge and this is easily seen with his ever-evolving practices and equipment at AMPfit. The highest compliment I can pay him is that he is, through and through, a professional in his field.

So if you're wondering if you should come here, let me make your decision for you, and just do it! You'll get more than toned abs if you do :D
