THE MAX Challenge of Springfield-Union

I love the Max in Springfield/ Union. Amy and Allison are so professional and listen to their members. I just transferred to this one in July because they were offering outdoor classes during the pandemic. It was just what I needed!!!! Keeps me sane and the crazy menopausal monster doesn't come out. I am so glad I transferred. The best place ever!!! The instructors are amazing and watch form so we don't get hurt.

The Max is not only a place to work out, it's an entire support system. I joined in January of last year, and am so glad I did! Everyone who works at the Max is supportive, enthusiastic and caring. During the quarantine, when so many of my friends were gaining weight and feeling sluggish,I lost weight. the trainers, managers, and owners continued to find ways to motivate us. They constantly provide daily inspirational tips and nutritional coaching.. I really cannot say enough good things about the Max. They really stepped it up during Covid - multiple live zoom workouts, pre-recorded workouts, and when it was safe enough, in-person masked workouts!! They are going above and beyond with all of the safety and cleaning precautions for COVID. Amazingly well run center from owners to the trainers. Check it out- you won't be disappointed!!

I love the max and being around others who are pushing to better their health inspires a space of communal support. This adds to the very well thought-out and intense trainings we received during our daily (mon-fri) workouts. It’s come to a point where I don’t feel as energetic or physically comfortable as I do when I am committed to this establishments work out. I’ve gained muscle mass that I never thought I could. I first started three years ago. I still feel that same support I did pre-pandemic as I do now. If you are thinking about joining, can’t wait to see you in class!

I recently joined The Max of Union 6 weeks ago and I couldn’t be happier with my decision. I felt I was in a rut after Covid, physically and mentally. Joining has overhauled my life. I now enjoy getting up early. I have more energy for my kids, I feel stronger, and I get more accomplished during the day. I love the accountability, which I need, and the support system both online and in person. Everyone is welcoming and will make you feel comfortable so even if you’re a beginner skill level like I am, you don’t feel out of place. The trainers are excellent. They will motivate you and push you, but also keep it fun and make you laugh. They make each day different so I have never felt burnt out or bored, it’s the opposite actually. Love this gym! I’m so happy to have finally found something that works for me.

Updated review- It has been another 3 years since I posted my review, and I am STILL at THE MAX!! Throughout the Pandemic, the team came together so that members wouldn't miss ONE SINGLE DAY of their workouts and support. THE MAX went virtual, held outdoor classes, and got us back into the Center as soon as was allowed...and now, we're mask optional as well! The trainers continue to be the BEST in the area...classes are fun, varied, and effective! It's still my home away from home...and now with the InBody Scale addition, you can REALLY see your progress each step of the way! Come join us!!The MAX Challenge is not just a gym- it is a family. A place where people go to not only lose weight and build their fitness, but also to make friends, get a daily dose of motivation, and enrich their spirit! I lost a ton of inches during my first challenge, and 20 lbs. a couple of Challenges after that. The journey is ongoing, and the support I receive at the MAX is like no other place in the world. You HAVE to check it out this year.

Once I made up my mind to become heart-healthy, I sought a group training gym that offered classes around my schedule. I found that and more at The Max. The fitness trainers are experienced and motivated to help us reach our individual goals. in less than 9 months, I am in better shape than I've been since my twenties.

I've been going to the gym by myself for years but The Max is completely different than the ordinary gym. They guide you on making the right nutritional decisions and provide you with fun classes throughout the week that you'll end up looking forward to.

Max Challenge saved my life. I’m down 30 lbs, feel great, love the compliments I get and still hate getting up at 5:15 a.m. for the 6 a.m. class in the cold and dark. The trainers tailor the exercises to my limitations and I get a great workout each time. Highly, highly recommend joining.

I’ve had numerous of gym memberships and tried different diets.Surprisingly enough, I’ve been going to the Max for over 6 months, 4-5 days a week and plan on continuing for 2020. …

One of my goals for 2019 was to eat healthier and become more physically fit. This past Spring my daughter began an exercise challenge and within weeks she started seeing the results. This definitely motivated me to look for a challenge myself. I read about the Max Challenge in Union, I began the challenge this past summer and it has been a life change experience. Every week I look forward to working out 5 days a week with the support of awesome personal trainers and friends who are striving for the same goal; a healthy and happy life!Wilson Soto
