I'm her mother on there FOR HER SAFETY. There is way too large of an age range for "open gym" - groups of 16 yr old boys aggressively running around past my small 2 yr old just trying to cross a small obstacle course. The initiation fee is already a joke... $60 just for joining on top of the monthly $150... then less than 2 weeks after paying over $200 just to join you try to sneakily charge us $150 again?? And now when I try to call to talk to someone about all this your lines sound like you haven't paid your phone bill so I can't even speak to anyone??? I don't think I've ever come across a more poorly run business. I don't think I've ever been upset enough to leave a bad yelp review, but I certainly am now. And now, after reading all the other bad reviews of this business... including someone who discovered the owners dog bit their child and left a nasty bruise during a class and nobody told the parents... I'm just so sad a place like this exists. Please do not bring your children here.

I spent a ton for my twins to go to camp here - it was a HORRIBLE experience. After one day there…read morewas no chance we were returning. It was outdoors - no air conditioning on a blazing hot day. They came back exhausted, dehydrated, sunburned. The instructors were overwhelmed, undertrained, and punitive. I called and requested a partial refund for the remainder of the week as we had paid for camp plus before and after camp that we would not be using. No dice. They would give me half of what I paid as a store credit. What!? The manager didn't even ask why we had a bad experience. DID NOT CARE. We will not be returning. Please save your money and stay away.

The…read morecommunication from the Executive Director, CathyAnn Simon, were really clear, and sufficient to help us find the club. The club uses the City of Santa Barbara's courts, and these courts are adjacent to the 101 Freeway, so it does get a little noisy, but the City has recently erected sound-proof barriers that greatly reduce the noise level. CathyAnn and her team were really nice, and accommodating, and the tournament itself was run really well. My son asked me to sign him up for more tournaments there, in the future! That's a great sign!

I have become stronger and have more confidence and flexibility than ever. Highly recommend. But this week I popped in to peek at the Senior dance class and was truly amazed.. the same coach, Coach Stacy is conducting the class and it was a full house. This class was so energetic and I stayed to watch with my jaw on the ground. Besides the coordination and energy of the group, they were all so thrilled to be there. The whole vibe was effervescent with laughter and high fives. I was exhausted just watching them. Even if I had the energy, I don't know if I could remember the moves. Coach Stacy goes above and beyond with her groups. She's patient, encouraging, and acknowledges your abilities. I saw that she supplies her senior class with printouts of the dances so they could practice at home. In my case, she is my biggest cheerleader. I used to need a spot just to get onto the trampoline or beam. Please try one of these classes, I believe the drop in price for senior dance is $5 and the adult gymnastic cost is $10. She is truly a dedicated spirit and a treasure in the community.

We sent our fifteen year old daughter to Amplify for the first time this Summer, and she had an…read moreamazing time! We would highly recommend Amplify for any girl that is passionate about music or art- especially middle and high schoolers trying to find themselves in the world while being pulled every which way by social media. For a bit of context, our daughter has had a passion for singing since she was able to sing. From singing in the car as a toddler, to completely filling both her iPad and the family iCloud account with videos of herself singing along to her favorite artists during COVID lockdowns, she was always singing. But the insecurity and bullying that came with middle school and high school stifled that for her, and singing became something that she did in secret. She insisted she wanted to pursue a career as a singer, but she was afraid to let anyone hear her voice. When we read up a little more on Amplify and the positive environment and opportunities that they provide for girls to explore various aspects of the music industry, we decided it would be just the confidence boost that she needed to come out of her shell and let her voice be heard. While the girls are at camp, parents are kept informed through the camp's social media groups for parents of campers, and through the bunk1 app, both of which feature pictures and videos that are uploaded every day or two. We loved seeing pictures and videos of the girls having fun and interacting with the various visiting artists. If any issues or questions came up, camp staff would text us to keep us in the loop, such as when our daughter wanted to change her intensive on the second day of camp. She also sent us an amazing video of our daughter practicing with her band. That's right, the girl that was afraid to sing in front of anyone was singing confidently and beautifully with her band on the second day of camp! She also performed in the camp talent show, and (after a little bit of jitters) the camp showcase! I haven't seen our daughter's performance video yet (I heard that they send out the full performance videos later in the year), but the pure joy I saw in the videos that were posted from the talent show was absolutely infectious! The girls are so supportive of the other bands, dancing and singing along to the lyrics as they cover songs from artists ranging from Bikini Kill to Billie Eilish! Besides practicing and performing with her band, the biggest highlights of the camp for our daughter were the performances from visiting artists. Each two week session features visits from well-known and emerging female artists. During our daughter's session, Lisa Loeb and Emi Grace both visited the camp, performing for the girls, answering questions about their experiences as musicians, and signing autographs. During session three, the camp also invites campers from all sessions back for Campchella, an all day music festival featuring some of the artists from each session and over fifteen artists in total. Emi Grace quickly became one of my daughter's favorite artists during her visit to camp, so she was super excited to see Emi perform a second time at camp before she headed off to Chicago for her Lollapalooza gig! Overall, I'm really impressed with Amplify and the positive impact it had on my daughter. My daughter loved the music aspect the most, but I feel like Amplify is so much more than just a music camp. It's a totally accepting and inclusive community of creative girls coming together to grow, learn, and have fun, without a cell phone in sight! From starting bands and songwriting, to photography, album design, and fashion design, to working on Cuqui magazine, to musical theatre, there's something for every interest. I love how Amplify brings the community and diy spirit that I grew up with in the 90s riot grrl scene to a new generation! Girls to the front!

She chose the rock band intensive, where she learned to play bass and collaborated with her bandmates and instructors, Effy and Sarah, to write and perform an original song at the end of camp on stage. She was so excited when other girls asked for her autograph after the performance! The best part of the experience was that she found "her people." She met girls who were kind, encouraging, supportive, and just a little edgier, which made her feel like she truly belonged. She also loved that all-girl bands came to camp to perform and stayed afterward for Q&A sessions with the girls. One of her favorite days was Field Day, which still makes me laugh because she does not like PE at school. I love that Amplify has a focus on music and arts, but still keeps some of the traditional campy activities. As a parent, I really appreciated that the camp nurse called before camp to discuss my daughter's medical needs and medications. The dining staff also did a great job accommodating her dairy-free diet with plenty of vegan options. She spoke positively about the counselors, especially Chloe. The campus was beautiful, and drop-off and pickup were both organized and easy. My daughter came home more confident, with new skills, deeper friendship, and memories she'll never forget. Before we were even home, she was already asking if she could come back next year and stay longer than two weeks. I think that says a lot.
