We've all been there: we joined a gym, got all amped up to go, and then suddenly life gets the best of you. Even the most well-intentioned people hit obstacles at one point or another.
So how do you keep yourself from falling down that dark hole of having a gym suck up your money with no results? You join the Max! About a month ago, I did a free week trial at another Max Location, and I completely fell in love with the program. It's a mix of fitness, nutrition, and life coaching all in one. The key to success is their accountability platform. The instructors get to know you on a first name basis, and you build relationships with the people in your classes. Essentially, you become a Max family, and believe me, people WILL text you if you don't show up to your usual class time.
The facility is open M-F and classes are 45 minutes long. Class times vary based on location but currently the Fair Lawn classes are 5am, 6am, 9:30am, 4:30pm, 6:30pm, and 8pm (M-Th only). They often have trial classes and events on the weekends as well which all members are welcome to attend. You can even be nuts like me and attend 2 classes per day if you want. Mondays/Wednesdays are cardio days, Tuesdays/Thursdays are strength days (arms/legs), and Fridays are kickboxing.
In addition to exercising, when you join the program you are given a nutrition packet to follow. As the weeks progress, the nutrition plan changes to help you meet your ultimate goals. All of the instructors are there to help you if you have any questions at any time. There is also a secret FB group you get invited to once you are a member, where people post questions, pictures, inspirational messages, etc.
Classes are high energy and motivating, with lots of high-fives. It doesn't matter whether you are already fit or haven't moved since you gave birth to your last 3 children--each exercise has modifications and levels to meet the needs of all of the members.
This is a 10 WEEK CHALLENGE, so you are not bound to the program for the rest of your life, however, they do offer Legacy packages (members who decide to continue the challenge) for those interested. I love the program so much that now I'm an instructor-in-training! If you believe in the process, your goals will be met.
