The partnership makes amp’s new AI-powered at-home strength training device more accessible to consumers
Flex, a Health Savings Account (HSA) and Flexible Spending Account (FSA) payment solution, has teamed up with amp, makers of a sleek, AI-powered at-home fitness device that delivers a personalized workout experience.
Now, consumers can use their HSA and FSA funds to purchase amp’s fitness device.
The premium fitness equipment company joins a growing list of Flex partners, which includes Echelon, recovery wellness tech brand Kineon, smart ring maker Ultrahuman, Forme, Centr, CorePower Yoga, Orangetheory, iFIT and Tempo.
Behind amp is founder and entrepreneur Shalom Meckenzie, the largest shareholder in DraftKings. Last fall, the company officially launched amp for pre-orders.
“amp is redefining fitness with cutting-edge AI technology and award-winning design, creating a smarter, more personalized training experience that pushes limits and delivers results,” amp CPO Amir Levanon said. “Partnering with Flex empowers our customers to invest in their health seamlessly, using pre-tax dollars to access our smart fitness device without financial barriers.”
Unlike traditional at-home fitness equipment, which tends to be bulky, amp’s gym system is noticeably stylish and compact but mighty. It has a minimum weight of 5 pounds and the flexibility to level up to 100 pounds of digital resistance.
Users can easily adjust weight amounts in real time or manually, and there are three smart resistance modes available: Fixed, Band and Amplify. Fixed mode maintains constant weight throughout the entire range of motion, while Band adds resistance the further a user gets from the starting position. Amplify mode adds resistance when returning to the starting point. A subscription-based app guides users through gamified workouts and allows users to participate in challenges and compete on the leaderboard.
