They say it only take one person to make a difference in your life…well at the Max you find more than one. You’ll find a trainer that is encouraging, kind and there to help, owners that care about you as a person and know your name and you’ll meet like minded people that will make this place more than just a gym. The support you get from the Max family is like no other and for me it has been life changing. At my most active I was a home exerciser and never thought I would ever join a gym, nor had I ever…Well here I am, a year and half later: healthier, stronger and smaller ☺. I’m so happy to have found the Max!Update 2020: This has been a trying year to say the least, but the Max has been incredible during the pandemic. I am in equal awe of the owner’s and the trainer’s ability to quickly move to a remote setting. There classes are still phenomenal and they offered both pre-recorded and live classes. Now that gyms re-opened, they have implemented safety procedure but if you aren’t ready to be in-person, you can still enjoy a solid program from home. It’s my home away from home, my therapy, and the only time when I can focus on me. The Max rocks!!!!Update 2021: I continue to love this place! Thankful for 4pm class and the continued offering of virtual options: pre-recorded classes and live zoom option which help when your hard for time or taking precautions due to the pandemic.

The MAX is a great place to work out. Throughout the pandemic I was able to continue my workout routine at home with pre-recorded and live ZOOM videos. The MAX of Union didn't skip a beat during the pandemic and supported our fitness, nutrition and health goals. I've been back to in-person classes since the spring, and I am comfortable with the proper safety precautions being taken. I enjoy the fun workouts and the daily accountability.

Update to my original review, 6 months later for Fitmas! I’ve been at the Max of Springfield/Union since April 2021. About 3 challenges later, there is a notable difference in my fitness level and many changes in my body. The variety of classes and now the addition of the Saturday AM class have been great. Recently, I’ve noticed a more focused approach with regards to correct form and technique, spending time during classes when weight lifting is involved to ensure members understand the correct motions and muscle reactions associated with each move and also understanding when it’s best to modify or take a break. Earlier in the year, everyone had to wear masks and we had a temp. check in and sign in sheet to track. With cases on the rise again, protocols are back in place. I am impressed by all the members who clean their equipment and spot on the mat each class. After 8 months of classes, I feel like my form has really improved and I’m much more confident in my abilities. I am a work in progress and still have more fitness goals I want to achieve, but I am proud of how far I’ve come and hopeful for continued success here. Thanks to all coaches and staff, and special shout out to Joe who still kicks our butts at 7 PM even when he’s been at the Center since 5 AM.

Excellent workout! The instructors are wonderful and give a great workout with lots of variety. I love the flexible schedule. The extra precautions that are in place to keep us safe from Covid allows me to have a worry free workout. Appreciate all you do Max Family!

If you are like me and need to be motivated by others to exercise, this program is for you!The Max Challenge gives you a comprehensive workout plan with the added bonus of a group of people helping you and keeping you accountable.At the Springfield location the instructors/staff/members provide the right mix of motivation and support for those of us that need help getting back to a workout routine.

I joined the max 5 years ago. The max offers classes at many different times during the day so there are no excuses not to make a class. During Covid they quickly switched to zoom classes and it was very easy to do the class at home. The gym is clean and after every class it gets sanitized. I look forward to going to class every morning and seeing familiar faces every day. I would recommend the max!.

I joined the Max in Springfield/Union in 2018. One of the best decisions I made! The moment you walk in your part of this family you didn’t know you needed. The trainers are AMAZING and Amy and Allison are your biggest cheerleaders. They kept me motivated during my challenges when I felt like giving up. They were alway one call away or Facebook message says if you needed help with nutrition or just wanted to talk. The Max helped me in so many un expected ways. Sign up you will not be disappointed!!!When COVID hit the Max started the MAX from Home! I had them in my living, outside and wherever else my WiFi let me go. It kept me distracted from what was happening. I had my max family with me. When the center reported the safety protocols in place was great! Everything was wiped down, floors were clean, and temperature checks were in full effect. I never felt uneasy about being in the center. They took our safety and theirs into consideration and I’m forever grateful! Max Strong!!

The Max has changed my life. It motivates me every day. The people and trainers are so supportive. Be prepared to be challenged and changed. Even throughout the pandemic the cleaning procedures and distancing have made me feel safe and excited to workout. Don’t wait to do this for your mental and physical health!

The Max Challenge is the BEST place to get a great nutrition plan and the best workouts. You will see results and have an awesome team behind you cheering you on the way. The Coaches at this location will push you to your best, and help you. I love Union location!
