I have been going to Maven in Paramus for physical therapy since September 2022 twice a week and it has been a god send. I have a minor pinched nerve in my lower back and I have gotten strong in my back and glutes that has eliminated any pain and tingling I have had. I have also had the added benefit of my muscles visibly gaining shape. All of the physical therapists are great. Amanda has been the therapist helping me and she challenges me without pushing me past my comfort zone. She is knowledgeable and continuously looking to make herself a better therapist for her patients. She is professional, but also makes the task of going the PT every week an enjoyable experience with her outgoing personality. I look forward to each appointment even when sometimes going to PT can feel daunting. I would highly recommend Maven to anyone in need of physical therapy. They are extremely professional and highly knowledgeable on how to help their patients get the relief and strength they need to be pain free. I higlhy read more

I've been going to Maven Center for over a year now to get back into shape and exercise. I cannot say enough great things about the facilities, the staff and its members. The staff / coaches are super nice, encouraging and helping you get motivated for your exercises. The members there are equally as nice and encouraging, and without judgement regardless of your fitness level. Just overall a pleasant experience for getting and staying into shape. I have not used their Physical Therapy services yet, but if/when I do, I know I'll definitely come here given how knowledgeable and great their staff is. If you are into it they also have activities outside of the gym to do together such as running local race running, Spartan races and other various activities. read more

Love working out at maven! Ever since I started functional fitness, I started gaining more muscle, hitting new PRs and increasing my overall fitness level. I used to say I'm allergic to cardio, but now I look forward to any fitness challenges and it's all thanks to Maven! More than any physical challenges, my mental health has been developing for the better! Starting my day with a Maven workout helps me to be confident in overcoming any challenges in life! Love my maven family! read more

I have been a member of Maven Center for nearly 4 years and never thought I would stick with a program this long. I have been to other gyms where you do your own workout and those can be daunting if you are not a fitness expert and you run the risk of doing the same thing all the time. At Maven, the classes are always run by coaches and change daily. There are cardio-focused days, strength/barbell focused days, etc., so you and your muscles are never bored and you are working your entire body. The staff and members create a sense of community and family and are the main reason I have lasted this long and keep showing up to workouts even when I don't feel like it. I highly recommend checking them out! read more

I joined Maven around 4 months ago to do physical therapy. My condition was not severe, they put me in a mix of core exercise and therapy which work pretty good to me. Unfortunately their customer service is really bad, a week ago I made an appointment for my wife and I specifically asked for this specific therapist since she have a more serious condition, I filled a form with her information, phone number, etc. When the day of her appointment arrived she called them in regards of been late a few minutes and she found out they put her with a different therapist, the therapist that we asked never take patients on those hours plus they went over their policy without letting her explain what she called for, at the end they reschedule her for the next day with the therapist that we asked since the beginning. The following day I received a phone call from this therapist in regards of my wife phone number even though I already filled all her information and I told him about what happened with her appointment and with a condescending attitude he told me that It was a miss communication from my part, apparently I should know what is his schedule because the people that work there doesn't even know what is his schedule, I filled a form with all the information which they don't even put in their system and I specifically ask for an appointment with him. Apparently is a miss communication from my part and not from them even though I don't work there I was just a patient, they might be good as therapy or work out but their customer service and administrative part is a mess! If you go there make sure you double check your appointment and the therapist that you ask for and maybe you should put your own information in the system yourself and called again to verify if everything is fine according to what you asked. Good luck! read more

I was referred to The Maven Center 2 1/2 years ago & joined the MP 5 fitness program. Joining Maven has helped me balance my life! Not only in health & fitness but taught me how to be consistent & gain GRIT: The power of passion & perserverance. I focused on setting simple goals & after accomplishing them I was able to reach for my longer range goals. I realized that fitness is about so much more than exercise. It's a catalyst for positive change which affects every aspect of of my life. The Maven center encourages regular work out times which forms positive habbits. Coach Taylor or Anthony design a specific work out each day to challenge different muscle groups that enables you to achieve fitness potentials. After training at the Maven Center I was able to reach goals & accomplish tasks I never thought were possible for me. Most of all not only did my physical endurance grow but my mental stamina did as well! The Maven coaches design a challenging, intriguing program & all the Maven staff are very knowledgeable & give positive reinforcement. What a great team that knows how to really work hard & have fun doing it!! When ever I am at the brink of wanting to give up I see the ultimate fit coaches & remember what I was taught, LEAVE THE EXCUSES BEHIND temporary pain for long term gain!!! Thank you to the whole Maven team for bringing health, fitness, balanced life, & so much more to our community. read more

I can never go back to a regular gym, at Maven we workout almost every muscle everyday, the programs are always different and fun! Coaches are awesome, friendly, helpful, always looking out for you. read more

I've heard of Maven Center for many years but started going for Physical Therapy in January 2016 to help strengthen my joints and improve range of motion after being diagnosed with a chronic autoimmune condition. As a full time working mom of 2, I realize now more than ever, how important it is to take care of my health and overall physical well being. Both Dr. Taylor Lee and Dr. Ryan Carpenter have treated me over the past 2 years as my main physical therapists. Both are extremely knowledgeable, professional and attuned to my health condition. I feel like my condition has not had a flare up since I started going and I've been able to maintain a great quality of life. In addition to the great doctors, the entire Maven staff is wonderful and friendly. From billing questions to technique help, we never feel intimidated or hesitant to ask - every question is answered professionally and with so much courtesy. Maven really feels like a community in the true sense of the word. Every doctor, aide, staff member is a part of our ongoing health journey. I highly recommend Maven Center! read more

Maven Center's philosophy is simple yet profound. Rehab meets fitness. The goal is not to rehabilitate you to your prior status quo. Rather, the goal is to rehabilitate you (through the physical therapy arm) and then encourage you to reach your fitness potential (through the fitness arm). Most physical therapists understand the theory, but I'm not sure most also understand (or, least, physically look like thy understand) the fitness part. Taylor and his team do, as evidenced by (among other things) Maven Center's renowned Maven Project program, a 1-month program focused on breaking bad habits/addictions and providing tools to recalibrate one's cognitive, physical and "spiritual" settings. I initially stopped by Maven Center to receive treatment on my right forearm for tendinitis-like symptoms. (I was having trouble doing bicep curls.) The treatment was perfect. But then Taylor suggested I try the Maven Project program. I knew a few people who had gone through the program, which involves attending weekly group workouts, involving high-intensity exercises - utilizing both bodyweight and weights. Since I had been lifting for 10+ years at the time, I thought it would be a breeze. So I agreed and participated in the January 2016 program. I was wrong. Everything I knew about training was turned on its head. The workouts focus on compound, functional movements, similar to CrossFit, but not with the heavy lifts or competitive environment. Because I had focused on the "vanity" parts of my body, I had neglected other crucial areas (e.g., core, shoulders, cardio, range of motion, flexibility). I may not be able to bench 315 anymore, but I can confidently say today (at 39 years of age), I am the fittest I've ever been and can at least keep up with, if not outrun, 25-year olds. Here's the thing. You will see a lot of the reviews here reference the previous doctors (Jerry and Dave) who have moved on and are no longer there. But what you need to understand is that Maven Center (which encompasses both the clinical and fitness) is the brainchild of Taylor Lee, whose clinical and practical knowledge is second to none. He coached me during the Maven Project program and I learned a tremendous amount, but not only about fitness and science. I also learned how to be intentional, how to exercise grit, consistency and discipline. In short, Maven Center is the preeminent clinic because the physical therapy practice is not only top-notch, but also real in substance. On the other side of the coin, Maven Center's fitness program is highly effective, as evidenced by the cult-like following the morning group workouts have attracted. Taylor and his team are not focused on billing your insurance companies. Rather, they are genuinely focused on helping people realize their true fitness potential. This is not a perfect analogy, but being treated at and training at the Maven Center is like learning martial arts from Bruce Lee, who was a trailblazer/pioneer. If I had an opportunity to train with and learn from Bruce Lee or one of his students, I would choose Bruce. Wouldn't you? Here's the website: www.mavencenter.com. If you're struggling with pain or interested in getting back into or raising your fitness game, I recommend you check it out. =). Imitation is the lifeblood of competition, but when it comes to one's body and fitness, I wouldn't accept imitation. read more

Update 3/31/16: The doctors I mentioned in my review are no longer there so I can't vouch for Maven at this point. Maven Physical Therapy somehow became a place I look forward to visiting despite the reason that actually landed me there. I went through about 16 weeks of PT with them for my hip last year and have done about 7 weeks for a torn MCL since March (life of a high performance athlete I guess) and I can attest that they are the the best in the game. I have been to another PT office, and while they were good, Maven is the truth. In my latest stint with the gang, we even discussed that my knee injury probably could have been worse but having such strong hips from our previous worked probably helped me out. While they're very knowledgeable, they don't just treat you from only a clinical point of view; they're athletes themselves so they know what works for each patient and will make small adjustments based on your [valid] feedback if necessary. On top of that, the conversations that go on there are just pure entertainment and make the exercises that much more bearable. And while I typically wouldn't waste my time countering someone else's bad review (everyone is entitled to their opinion and can have a bad experience), I do have a huge problem with the 1 star review from 2 months ago. As I listed above, with the amount of time I've spent at Maven (times 2-3 sessions per week), I would like to think I have a much more accurate assessment of their practices. As the reviewer is another PT, I find it almost comical that he tosses out the word unethical so easily. There is NOTHING unethical about how the practice is run and the PTs and aides care about the patient first and foremost. Are they busy - sure - but to say they need a Physical Therapist for 1-2 patients is a bit of a stretch. I can't recall a single time where I watched patients waiting around waiting for instruction or work to be done or even had this experience myself. If I need a Doctor of Physical Therapy to stare at me while I do clam shells beyond the first time I'm doing them, I've got more problems than a bum hip. So without belaboring my point any further, I read that negative review and LOLed because it's sort of like those maniacs who deny climate change. Completely absurd and you're probably on hallucinogens if you believe them. And then I read it again and giggled some more because it is a wholly inaccurate picture of Maven PT. So in closing, I cannot thank Jerry, Dave, Anthony, Leo and everyone else I've worked with at Maven PT. When I inevitably tweak something else, I already know that I'll be in good hands. EDIT: I added a picture to demonstrate my results from Maven. When I first came to them, I had to use my hand to lift my leg just to get out of bed because my hip was that bad. read more

Maven Center - This is the direct result of working with the team at Maven Physical Therapy. - Physical Therapy Near Me - Paramus, New Jersey

In my life I have been especially injury prone. I've always played sports: hockey, baseball, football, basketball. Most recently I've been doing Jiu-Jitsu and kickboxing. I've had Acl reconstrucition, 3 meniscus tears, labrum tear, 2 broken toes....ive had more than my fair share of Physical Therapy. Maven's approach to PT i slightly different. They address the complete body to not only help recover the injury but also to help strengthen the muscles that will prevent it from happening again. For example Dave from maven found that it was more likely my hip muscles contributing to my knee injuries. He addressed this with agressive hip corrective exercises. He was the first PT to provide me this type of analysis. I would HIGHLY recommend Dave and the Maven PT staff. They truly care about their patients. read more

After being diagnosed with high blood pressure and put on meds I knew it's time for change, I'm not leaving this earth by preventable disease. Met with Dr Taylor to learn more about Lifestyle Change program he offers and signed up ASAP. 45 days into the program we went over meal plans, showed me what foods to shop for, prep meals in bulk etc. The one on one training is essential for me because I get competitive in group setting and probably get injured. Taylor modifies excerices, sets realistic goals And have seen amazing results in 45 days. Look forward for the next 5 mos of 1 on 1 training And new recipes for meal preps read more

They're aren't enough stars on this page to describe how well this place worked for me! I am a 54 year old landscaper/ gardener/ dry stone waller, who works alone, without machinery, other than hand tools, to move heavy , most times unbalanced weight over the course of an 8 to 10 hour day. Injuries were common.That is, until I got to Maven. They evaluated me, set up a program, and then tried to kill me,(just kidding).They push you here. They work you hard, but under constant supervision. Once you embrace the process, and work it, progress comes fairly quickly,for me it was over the course of a few months. My busy season kicks off in March. It's June now, and not one injury, my production rate has picked up as well. This is due my instructors at Maven. I can't recommend them enough. This is not your standard gym! read more

I was in need of Physical Therapy due to injury and I Got the suggestion from a family member as with my athletic background I needed a group that was well versed in other areas. Maven did not disappoint. They provide a direct service and address all concerns I have had including things that arose during the time for almost a year now. read more

They rock...here is why: 1. They are flexible with their hrs...as late as 720 pm aptmt and half Saturdays 2. Dr Jerry and Dave know their stuff and live the lifestyle they preach 3. Besides PT, they also have a sports performance practice so they have an integrated approach 4. Easy going staff 5. They listen to your issues and seem to genuinely care 6. They know how to deal with insurance They are helping me recover from a previous herniated disc. read more

Maven is a special place. Usually, you would think of PT as a place to recover (from an injury, impairment ). But Maven is a place to both recover, and to grow in your abilities. Wherever you start with them, if you apply yourself, you can be stronger, faster, more able than before. For me, it was an achilles problem. Maven put me on track to not only recover, but get stronger and faster with better running technique. Jerry, Dave, and Taylor are dedicated to strenthening the community with charitable events and local fitness classes. A great group of people. read more

A++ best cross fitness place in Bergen County. Well recommended to all friends and families. Keep up the good work Maven, you are Rock.

Maven Center is not a typical physical therapy center. The owner and chief DPT, Dr.Taylor believes in a deeper philosophy of wholistic fitness that perhaps starts from rehabilitation and ends with a permanent, healthy lifestyle. This unique place has both a physical therapy section where Dr.Talyor (DPT), Dr.Ryan (DPT), and their excellent team of PT aides will evaluate and help you get back on track from any physical ailment or injury. However, on the other side of the facility, there is a state-of-the-art workout area where coaches hash out one of the most intense cross-fit programs you will ever experience and provide you with exhausting, yet exhilarating total body workouts. I've been the member of Maven Center for almost 2 years and in my lifetime, I haven't seen a group of people who are the best in the class and and are personally motivated towards making sure that their members and patients achieve all their physical fitness goals. read more

I injured my knee a few months ago and required surgery to correct it. I've been going to Maven PT for about a month and a half to help along the recovery process. After my very first visit I started noticing a measurable improvement in the mobility of my Knee. Dr. David also discovered a slight issue with my natural stance that very likely caused the issue with my knee and has been helping me correct that issue. All in all, I'm very happy with Maven PT and will very likely be taking advantage of their Fitness and Lifestyle Coaching services as well in the near future. read more

For those who need a little motivation when it comes to working out, Maven Center is the place to be. Maven staff are over the top exceptional when it comes to fitness and the group atmosphere really pushes you to your maximum potential. My daughter went for physical therapy for a sprained ankle, she walked in with crutches and walked out without them, surely the place where rehab meets fitness. You'll come out stronger, healthier and happier. read more

Maven Center not only treated me when I tweaked my lower back over a year ago, but they got me into a consistent habit of fitness and overall health. I've never been pushed as hard in my life, but I've been at it for a year now and found an amazing community of like-minded, dedicated people who are transforming themselves and having fun doing it. They def don't coddle you at Maven Center, but if you want to change and realize your fullest fitness potential through the rigors of hard work and proper technique, then I can think of no better professionals than Taylor, Anthony, Brandon, Mikhail, and the passionate folks at Maven Center. read more

I went to Maven after having a cervical disk replacement, to regain the strength I lost in my right arm. Not only did they get my arm back to where it was, they made sure that I was working out my entire body properly. I had not been doing enough strength training on my legs and hips, but they made sure that I did. Jerry is fantastic at diagnosing issues. The guys at Maven will make sure you do not leave without working hard enough to ascertain that your whole body is strengthened for the future. read more

I was training with heavy back squats for about a year and started to develop some elbow pain that got worse and worse. One of my friends highly recommended Maven PT and after several weeks of just trying to rest the injury with no improvement I finally decided to go. They analyzed my squat form and immediately noticed that I had hip weakness, which was putting my back in a less than ideal angle. This in turn was causing me to grip the bar in a manner which was straining my elbow. I've been going for about 3 weeks receiving treatment on the elbow and working on strengthening my hips. I am now pain free in my elbow and getting stronger at the hips. I've trained up to about 90% of my max on squats with no pain or discomfort. They not only treat the pain, but figure out the root cause. The atmosphere there is very comfortable. The doctors and trainers are very friendly and seem to genuinely care about your progress. They really make an effort to get to know you and check on how you are feeling that day. Bottom line, they really know what they are doing, very professional and it's a really comfortable environment to work out in. read more

Best PT around. Would highly recommend to anyone. They not only take care of you from a physical therapy perspective, but you begin to take on an exercise routine if you are not already involved. Strengthening and fitness are included in your treatment plan. It's a special place, separate from the rest. read more

I came to Maven hoping for significant improvement since all the other PT places I've been to haven't been able to get down to what's the primary problem with my pain. This place is very disorganized and unprofessional. The "gym" is the size of my condo and there are only 2 PT's and about 2-3 aides. First of all, there were at least 7-8 patients in the "gym" at one time which is overwhelming, therefore quality of care was HORRIBLE! My therapist would dry needle me every treatment session despite telling him where my pain is and did very little manual work on me. This is probably because he had too many patients which is not ethical at all!!!!!!!! His student who he didn't introduce me to or ask for my consent to treat me had no clue what to do when I told her I was having pain with some exercises, never looked for my primary PT, and just wanted me to keep pushing through. My last treatment session, I waited for 15 minutes on the plinth waiting for my PT and when he came I told him, again, where my pain was and was hoping he would assess it, but didn't. After the needling, I laid on the plinth before one of the aides asked me where my PT was. He was nowhere to be found so she just told me to do an exercise. At this point I've been there for 45 minutes and received 10 mins of needling and had done one exercise. I never saw my PT again. I finished with the student who was doing some stretching herself and speaking about personal matters in front of patients which for a student, she should know better. I received some horrendous manual stretching and then they just gave me an ice pack. I was there for 1 hour and a half and received 10mins. of dry needling and did 3 exercises!!!!!! They keep saying they're going to move to a bigger facility, but there's still only 2 PT's!! My reason for writing this is because I myself am a PT, but I don't think they knew that even though I told them. I know how important QUALITY OF CARE is and this place doesn't have it. I've never been so disgusted by how unethical and unprofessional this place is. I just want patients to be aware of what is right and what is wrong. YOU deserve the best treatment. I'm sure most patients don't know any better which is another reason for this review. My advice, find a place where you have 1 PT to, at max, 2 patients. Good luck . read more

I'm 56 years old and have been running competitively since I was 15. I went to Maven Center for PT due to a chronic hip injury. I had tried other PT places, acupuncture, message therapy, chiropractic, etc. All gave a measure of relief, but temporary. I started at Maven several months ago and now I feel better than I have in years. Ryan took the time to pinpoint the problem, which took some time, and then set up a program of exercises, stretching and modalities to address it. The key was, that he adjusted the program along the way, based upon what my symptoms were. All of the staff were very professional, friendly and knowledgeable. I can't say enough good things about them. They were the best. read more

I can't say enough about The Maven Center. After going there for just a few months my lower back pain that I had for about 3 years is gone! The staff is all knowledgeable and nice and the facility is super clean!!!! Besides my back pain I had bouts of VERTIGO... Dr Lee did an adjustment to make it go away. I had this done once at a specialist's office and it didn't go well... I was dizzy during the adjustment (which was a normal part of the procedure) and I panicked. Just left me very apprehensive to get another adjustment done. Dr. Lee convinced me to give it a try with him and although I was extremely nervous Dr. Lee was extremely patient and encouraging, completely calming me down, explaining what was going to happen step by step throughout the procedure... and luckily my vertigo went away and I only had to do the adjustment once. I totally recommend The Maven Center for all ur Physical therapy and fitness needs. read more

Maven was the third PT place I went to for an injured back after a motor vehicle accident last October. I found them to be much more proactive and ready to force the muscles to heal with expert hands on therapy and strengthening with physical workouts. They were also very honest about my prognosis if I didn't pay attention to my posture both while exercising and while relaxing or working. They not only know their stuff, but they walk the walk by constantly training themselves and giving back to the community by participating in local sports events for charity. I'm finally pain free and back to moving and working out with ease. I would have given 5 stars if the building they WERE in was cleaner and maintained, but that will be rectified when they move to a nicer location at the end of August 2015. Maven is truly a perfect place for excellent physical therapy outcomes. read more

After having a discectomy in October, my doctor encouraged me to see a physical therapist. I was tentative at first but wanted to get back into shape and to strengthen my muscles so that I wouldn't have the same type of injury down the road. I met with Ryan, one of the therapists at the Maven Center, and not only did he listen to my entire medical history but he also asked great questions and did a thorough physical evaluation. He instantly picked up on my hesitancy and started me out slowly. He changed my program almost weekly, noting what I was getting better at and what was still challenging. The entire team is professional and fun! You are always encouraged to do as much as you can but someone always checks in and makes sure you are not having any pain. The aides are personable and helpful and I found the time would go by so quickly and before I knew it I would be done with my session. I have to say I honestly looked forward to every appointment I had at the Maven Center. I highly recommend the Maven Center for anyone who needs physical therapy. read more
