I love Maximum Performance...more specifically, one of the trainers, Emi. Emi pushes and supports appropriately. The set-up works! All my normal gym excuses do not apply to Max P! read more

I sent the below message to one of their trainers in South Beloit and she never replied to this message......(I think that in itself explains a LOT about this business!): "I'm a little confused by the contradiction between your statement above("I am not able to adjust program pricing without re negotiating our lease for a lower rate, not paying out team of coaches and continuing their education. I'm sure you want them to be the best and up to date with their training to help you best accomplish your goals.") and the explanation on your advertisement on Facebook as to why you are offering a "free" 6 week program.... ("Why Simple - I am looking to market my facility and use the testimonials from this program to get more clients. AND - because when I have done this program in the past most people stay on afterwards to become members because they love our facility so much."). Maybe the $400 that you'll refer to as a "small deposit" is actually considered small to some of your clients. However, for me that's a huge amount of my money to allow someone I don't know or trust to hold for me. Coming in, I was under the impression that your business was willing to help me for FREE for 6 weeks and in return use my testimonial to prove your worthiness to my friends, family, others and to keep my business. I understand now that I was wrong. I understand now that your advertisement is merely a lure to get people to come in. Again, no hard feelings. Have a Happy New Year!". Their so called "FREE" 6 week program they run periodically is a complete SCAM!!! BEWARE!!! read more

They continue to go downhill. Can't keep a staff, unorganized and only pretend to have the clients best interest. Let me save you the money- eat chicken and broccoli for every meal (you will be starving between each meal and have a very high chance of failure) and exercise. That's their formula. They will get new trainers every few months and they most likely will not be properly trained and leave you with an injury then when you call the owner about it, he will just want to talk about it and say "just come back in and try it again". No thanks. $1,500 wasted and 2 slipped discs later. read more

Watch your pocketbook! I purchased a Groupon for $100+, went in to use it and was told by the owner, Mike Z. that I needed to purchase an additional plan for quite a bit more $, that would guarantee better results. I explained I was just interested in starting out with the Groupon offer and would probably sign up for a memebership following the expiration of the temporary plan through Groupon. He said I need to sign up for a membership and have my credit card on file before he would honor the Groupon. I mentioned I was uncomfortable with giving him my "credit card to have on file". His response... "Otherwise I'm sure if you contact Groupon, they will give you your money back." This is exactly what I did! And I am happy as a clam with my Peak gym membership, which includes more classes, 24hrs./day, indoor/outdoor pool, saunas, weight room, etc. for only $50/mos! Less than half the price of Maximum Performances monthly rate with restricted classes! Beware... This small operation, may not be in business too long, so if you do join, I advise not to pay in advance for the 6 mos. membership at $600 or you have the risk of being left high and dry! read more
