About Us

Welcome to Amped Athlete, where strength is redefined for every body, every goal, every athlete.

Our Story

Amped Athlete began as a vision: to empower women in fitness through equipment designed with their needs in mind, while never excluding anyone passionate about being stronger, healthier, and more confident. Our founder, Maya Sinclair, was frustrated. As a regular gym-goer and trainer, she noticed a lack of high-quality, thoughtfully engineered equipment built for women’s biomechanics (grip size, leverage, weight progression) and was equally frustrated by how “unisex” often meant “heavy/bulky/intimidating.”

Maya set out to change that. She spent months researching ergonomics, speaking with female athletes, weightlifters, rehab specialists, and designing prototypes that felt purposeful and welcoming rather than generic. From a small studio workshop, she built the first Amped Athlete adjustable dumbbell set and a lightweight, sleek barbell that balanced strength and user-friendliness. Word of mouth spread: trainers, boutique studios, and everyday fitness enthusiasts started using them and raving.

As demand grew, Amped Athlete expanded into full gym systems, resistance bands, benches, rigs, and accessories, all with the same DNA: smart design, inclusivity, performance. Today, Amped Athlete ships across North America and partners with boutique gyms, home-gym builders, and community centers.

Our Mission

  • Inclusivity Through Design — We believe fitness gear should feel accessible, not exclusive. Whether you are just starting or pushing elite performance, you deserve equipment that fits your body and your ambition.

  • Engineering With Purpose — Every product is crafted with ergonomic insight from grip diameters, modular progression, to ease of adjustability — so you can focus on your workout, not struggling with the tools.

  • Empowerment Above All — We exist to amplify confidence, strength, and progress. Many of our early users were women overcoming stereotypes or gym anxiety — and their stories motivate us to keep raising the bar (literally).

  • Sustainability & Longevity — We build gear to last, using responsible materials and modular parts so you can maintain, upgrade, and rely on your equipment for years.

Why “Amped Athlete”?

“To be amped” means to be energized, excited, and ready to perform. We believe everyone, regardless of gender or background, can channel that energy. The “Athlete” part is aspirational: you’re training, you’re moving, you’re committed. Together, Amped Athlete becomes a rallying cry: be energized, be strong, be you.
