THE MAX Challenge of Springfield-Union

I had a very positive experience at the Max. The instructors were fantastic, not to mention the entire staff. Everyone is generally very supportive and motivating. I would definitely recommend.The only negatives:When I was a member, the instructors often have you partner up with someone else. Since the clients are mostly women, I was partnered with a woman most of the time. Fine by me but if I were a woman, I wouldn't want some sweaty guy holding my ankles (in a typical exercise). Like I said, everyone is very friendly and supportive but it's probably awkward for someone to speak up if they're not comfortable with it. I'd rather just have everyone do their own thing without any partner stuff. I know it's not a big deal for everyone but I thought I'd mention it.The other thing is that the owners really need to remind the members to park only in the designated areas instead of parking illegally. When the classes run, the entire street is full of cars. Since the clientele is mostly women who drive SUVs, it creates very poor visibility for the traffic that has to turn left from Pine to Morris Ave due to vehicles parked all the way up to the corner (past the point where they're supposed to park). There is a parking lot close by which the clients can use if they want to walk 5 more minutes (I mean, you're there for a workout, you can't walk a little bit?)But overall a great place which I recommend. And they also made it very easy to cancel, which is a pretty big deal as far as gyms go.

A great facility with fantastic trainers, and every week is filled with fun and enjoyable routines that let you see personal growth.

Best decision I ever made (other than marrying the love of my life) lol no seriously! Not only is it helping me physically but mentally. I look forward to going to the Max even on my rest days! I bond with a community like no other! Truly life changing! #MaxUnion

These classes and instructors are amazing! 45 minutes flies by and the sense of community that comes with the classes is unlike any other ! Would recommend the max over any gym.

THE MAX has been life-changing. I am surrounded by supportive staff as well as members that have made it easier for me on this journey to a healthier lifestyle. I would highly recommend this to anyone!

The staff is amazing. Always willing to encourage and motivate you to be your best. The staff is kind, friendly, and welcoming. The atmosphere is relaxing and clean. This is the place to be if you are looking for support and want to change your life for the better.

Joining Max Challenge was the best decision I made in regards to my fitness journey. Traditional gyms didn’t work for me. I would join and after about a month stop. I have been with the Max for 5 years! I love having an instructor led class. The exercises are different every day so you are never bored with the workouts. And if you find an exercise challenging due to physical limitations the instructor works with you to do an alternative version of the exercise. The members welcome newcomers like family so you never feel out of place. The program comes with a nutrition plan to MAXimize your results so you see your body transform over the course of the program. That’s what you get when you join the Max, new body and a gym family. I have no regrets.

I started at the Max in person but then Covid hit and thankfully they started sending classes to us via zoom. I have kept up with the live and recorded sessions as it works for me. Love the energy of the instructors and the members who are in person at the center. I am glad they have kept the live and recorded sessions so it fits my lifestyle. They have a great staff and support all members. Their nutritional information is great and they walk you thru it whenever you need it.

Max is the place to be if you want a great workout regimen and great trainers. I enjoy the classes. They are fun and serious business if you are there for results. I recommend anyone who is looking for a realistic challenge and ready to commit to the fun just sign up and challenge yourself.

The Max Challenge of Springfield/Union offers great workouts in a positive environment. The owners and coaches are motivating and supportive. It’s more than just a gym, you develop friendships as you reach your weight loss goals.
