Amp Fit Recalls Smart Fitness Machines Over Serious Injury Risk

Very serious injuries can occur from defective physical fitness products. When the Consumer Product Safety Commission determines that a piece of exercise equipment poises a high risk of injury, they can influence the manufacturer to issue a recall of the product, so as not to cause unnecessary injure to future users.

At Abrams Landau, we know that people who invest in their health shouldn’t have to worry about getting hurt by the very equipment meant to help them feel stronger. That’s why it’s important to stay informed about product recalls, especially when they involve fitness machines used in homes and gyms.

Earlier this month, Amp Fit announced a recall of its AMP MP2 Smart Fitness Machines after the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) determined the equipment posed a serious injury risk.

Why Were the Machines Recalled?

According to the CPSC, approximately 1,900 AMP MP2 Smart Fitness Machines are affected by the recall. The issue stems from a locking mechanism in the machine’s adjustable arm that may fail to engage properly. When this happens, the arm can swing unexpectedly during use, creating a risk of lacerations or other serious injuries. The CPSC reported that Amp Fit received 10 consumer complaints related to the defect. These incidents included lacerations to the head and bruising to the shoulder.

Which Product Is Impacted?

The recall specifically involves the AMP MP2 model of the AMP Smart Fitness Machine. This wall-mounted strength-training device is designed to provide full-body, resistance-based workouts using an adjustable arm and integrates with Amp Fit’s digital app for personalized training.

If you own an AMP MP2 Smart Fitness Machine, it’s important to take action right away.

What Should Consumers Do?
Doug Landau and the product liability injury team at ABRAMS LANDAU are deadly serious when it comes to representing athletes who have been harmed by dangerous sports and fitness equipment. The Herndon injury firm has helped health enthusiasts injured by defective bicycles, wheels and strength training equipment. Here lawyer Landau is biking into the 2nd Transition of the Mixed Team Relay at the 2025 Triathlon World Championships, held in Australia. Landau was the anchor leg of the foursome.

The CPSC advises consumers to stop using the recalled fitness machine immediately. Amp Fit is offering a free in-home inspection and repair, which will be performed by an authorized technician.

The repair involves replacing a component within the shoulder cap of the locking device to ensure the locking mechanism fully engages during use. Owners should contact Amp Fit directly to schedule the repair.

As an active athlete himself, Lawyer Landau understands the importance of safe, reliable fitness equipment. Whether training at home or competing abroad, staying injury-free matters, especially when you’re pursuing your health goals
Why Fitness Equipment Recalls Matter

Fitness equipment is meant to support health, not compromise it. Defective workout machines can cause sudden, severe injuries, particularly when heavy resistance or moving arms are involved. Staying up to date on recalls issued by the CPSC can help prevent avoidable accidents and protect both casual users and serious athletes.
