Dennis Wilson, an Aquatic Maximum Power Intensity (AMP-IT) Instructor on Marine Corps Air Station (MCAS) Cherry Point, North Carolina, describes what AMP-IT is and what kind of training it consists of, June 30, 2021. AMP-IT was designed as the water version of High Intensity Tactical Training, but offered reduced stress on joints and bones as well as reduced risk of injury. Despite AMP-IT’s reduced physical stressors, it still offers a demanding workout and can be as challenging as land based physical training. AMP-IT is available three days a week, Monday, Wednesday and Friday, from 1130-1230 for active duty military at Hancock pool. (U.S. Marine Corps video by Pfc Noah Braswell)

What is AMP-IT? AMP-IT (Aquatic Maximum Power Intensity Training) is the water version of the popular Marine Corps HITT (High Intensity Tactical Training) program. Don't think it's just another water aerobics class. AMP-IT provides a strenuous workout. In fact, it can oftentimes be more strenuous than gym workouts. This workout encompasses a variety of high intensity activities designed to: - Increase strength, cardiovascular endurance and lung capacity, helping to improve PFT scores. - Reduce the risk of injury, facilitate recovery and decrease recovery time. - Be as challenging as on-land PT. Because it's non-weight bearing, AMP-IT, unlike land based workouts reduces stress on joints and bones making it accessible to injured Marines, Marines on light or limited duty can continue to train with their unit.
