Fantastic experience: This place has been by far the best decision I’ve made in 2023 & 2024! Deb is an incredible and awesome person in so many ways. Vanessa’s energy is amazing. Gary is super helpful. Their motivation and passion for what they do is what has changed my life. I just love this place.
Fantastic experience: Great gym! Love the camaraderie! Highly recommend to everyone looking to start fresh and wants new way to get fit!
Fantastic experience: Max challenge is amazing! Deb and Vanessa are wonderful and always there to help. I 100% recommend this program to anyone wanting to get in shape and become healthier. They are there to guide and educate you on fitness and nutrition! Give it a go and you won't be disappointed!
Fantastic experience: I tried to lose weight for a year without any luck until I joined The MAX Challenge of Bay Ridge. Joining this gym has been by far the BEST decision in 2023. I joined the 10 week Challenge in September and I’m at the last week and I have lost 14 lbs I am super archi recontra happy with the results. They guided me to change my diet and my workout routine. Now I eat healthy and look again slim. I feel more confident and happier when I look at myself at the mirror. I workout early in the mornings and feel with more energy the rest of the day. My whole life has changed since September and I’m loving it. Thank you to The MAX Challenge of Bay Ridge for my amazing transformation. I highly HIGHLY recommend this gym to anyone out there who wants to change their lifestyle and start being healthy and feeling AMAZING as I am feeling now.
Fantastic experience: It’s a wonderful program! The trainers and staff are attentive and extremely helpful! Debbie and Gary make you feel like you are part of a family. They truly care about everyone’s personal development. So happy to be back at bay Ridge Max!
We are so glad you feel that way Mary! We love you having you as part of our Max family! Thank you for this review!
Fantastic experience: I love Deb as a teacher. Everything she does is amazing. How she describes the drills so clearly every single time. She makes us feel like we are her first class of the day no matter what, she shows modifications for every exercise, her timing to get ready, to recuperate from a drill and reminding us to breathe and drink water plus the short , inspirational 2 minutes at the end with the huddle helps us feel so connected and to remember whats important. her volume level of the microphone and music is also perfect. Vanessa is also a positive, attentive and connected person there for me. Her greetings are always so positive and her text messages to check in are so kind and positive. The muscles i made in 10 weeks changed my life. I walked more, wanted to bicycle ride and so much more.
Fantastic experience: This is an amazing gym it's not even a gym it's more of a family. I just started going there about 5 weeks ago and I love every benefit it's helping me so much mentally and physically I recommend it to anyone who needs a gym it's very clean and they make sure that you fit in with everyone. Anyone can do this workout!
This makes me so happy to hear Aimee! We are so glad you found your happy spot heer at the Max!! Thank you for your great reviw!
Fantastic experience: I LOVE The Max Challenge!!!!! The community/instructors are so supportive!!! I love the varied classes - no 2 alike so it’s always interesting and the nutrition plan is so helpful!!! I highly recommend!!!
We aer so glad you are enjoying your challenge Sheryl! You have been doing amazing! Keep up the great work!!
Fantastic experience: I've been attending The MAX Challenge in Bay Ridge for six weeks now, and I couldn't be happier with my experience. The staff here is incredibly supportive; they know your name and even remember your birthday, creating a warm and personal atmosphere. One of the standout features for me is the flexibility of their class schedules. As a nurse working night shifts, I was worried about finding a gym that could accommodate my irregular hours. The MAX Challenge offers classes at different times of the day, making it possible for me to attend no matter my work schedule. What sets The MAX Challenge apart is the sense of community they foster. It truly feels like a family here. They follow up on your progress, provide nutritional programs, and organize activities for charities in the community, emphasizing their commitment to not only personal fitness but also giving back. I initially came in with the goal of losing weight, but I've gained so much more than that. The training and discipline I've acquired have been invaluable. The MAX Challenge doesn't push or try to sell you anything; they genuinely care about your well-being and progress. In my time here, I've not only shed pounds but also gained muscle, confidence, and a newfound sense of belonging within this supportive community. If you're looking for a gym that goes beyond fitness, The MAX Challenge in Bay Ridge is the place to be.
Thank you for this amazing review Kel! You had an amazing transformation! Can't wait to see where the Max journey takes you next!
Fantastic experience: Honestly, the best fitness program I have ever done. This staff is supportive, friendly, positive and passionate. It's also not a hard push and a hard sell. You do the program at the level that suits you. Modifications are suggested for age and physical limitations. You don't have to buy merch and meals if you don't want to. However, you feel connected and uplifted by this community. I can't say enough positive things about this experience--except to add I've done the program over and over again, because it works.
Wow Mike Thank you for this incredible review! We are so proud that you feel this way because we work very hard to give our members the best experience possible! We love you!!
Fantastic experience: Deb and her Staff are truly the best they work with you at every level of physical Fitness and they make you feel welcome And at home ….♂️️
We are so glad you feel that way! Thank you for sharing this awesome review!
Fantastic experience: I joined Max Challenge 6 weeks ago and it's already made a dramatic difference in my strength, energy level and appearance. Classes are a lot of fun and the sense of community is so motivating. The nutrition plan is easy to follow without any pressure to buy food from Max Challenge. I'm looking forward to continuing with the program and seeing where it takes me.
Thank you for this beautiful review Catherine! We can't wait to see where the program takes you too! So far you are looking amazing after Week 6!!! Keep up the great work!!
Fantastic experience: Love it. Great workouts. Really great crew of people.
Thanks Sue! You are the perfect addition to our 10AM crew!!
Fantastic experience: Everyone is friendly and welcoming. They encourage you to move at your own pace but give you the motivation you need to push yourself.
We are so happy you are back at it and enjoying your experience! Thanks for your awesome review!
Fantastic experience: Max is my gem for the last 5 years. Part of my life. Best gym in town. Lots of motivation and the trainers always pushing you to do better for your self.
And you are always inspiring us all to show up and push forward no matter what! Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts!! We love you Maro!
Fantastic experience: Joining The Max Challenge in March and becoming a part of the amazing Accountability Group has been one of the best decisions I've made. I was looking for a gym that wasn't too far from me and that had hours that could accommodate my schedule and I definitely found that with The Max. From the moment I walked into the gym, I was welcomed with such kindness, smiles and support from everyone. Deb, Gary, Vanessa and Kathy are such awesome and caring instructors. I love how they cater to all fitness levels by showing you variations of the exercises so everyone can do them. I love their energy and enthusiasm, and I look forward to making it to the 6:05 am class which I never thought I would say. They also help you with how to tackle your nutrition and meal planning. They really try to provide you with all the tools you need to succeed. I'm so grateful for joining the Accountability Group. It's not just about accountability for the workouts, but also holistic - a place to share about life and how everything has an impact on how we show up in this life. The members of the group are always so encouraging and supportive and make you feel that you are not alone. I challenge myself both physically and mentally too. I recently participated in the Rugged Maniacs which I always thought that "I wasn't capable of doing because it would be too hard." The Max taught me to switch that mindset and that I would never know if I didn't try and that's exactly what I did. I'm already looking forward to joining the team again next year! I can say that The Max Challenge has had such a positive impact on me - mind, body, soul and spirit and I am forever grateful. THANK YOU!!!! Don't hesitate and sign up to give them a try it.
You are the perfect addition to our Max family Samanda! We are so happy that you have gotten so involved in all that the Max family has to offer! You bring so much enthusiasm and wisdom and we are glad you found us! Thank you for sharing this comprehensive feedback!!
Fantastic experience: I walked by here this place use to be Tommy Chen's karate my old karate studio ages ago. Glad to see they kept the place in good shape. Brought back memories
I am glad we are carrying on the tradition of health! Next time stop in and get a workout! :)
Fantastic experience: Hi I’m a member of this gym I joined a couple months ago, the reason I joined is because I wanted to change my health! I suffer from high blood pressure and borderline diabetes and I wanted to change my lifestyle, and I must say I did I feel so good doing this for myself, I’m getting stronger every day I can feel it in my body and the way I perform during the day. This is a big milestone for me, I do my recording at home and I’m loving it I will advise you to join this gym today it’s worth it and they are amazing people.
Thank you for this fabulous review Janice!! Your dedication as an exclusively virtual member is so so impressive!! We are glad you are enjoying the program and we are so grateful for your enthusiasm for the Max!!
Fantastic experience: I was once very unmotivated to workout but all of that has changed since I have started working out at the max! The classes are always fun and the instructors are great. It’s a judgement free zone and everyone is so supportive of each other. If you’re looking to join a gym, look no further!
Thank you for this amazing review Stella! We are so glad you found your happy spot!! We love having you guys with us!!!
Fantastic experience: Best decision ever! It’s not just a gym it’s a lifestyle and it’s life changing! Highly recommend!
Thank you for sharing your thoughts! We are so glad you joined our Max fam! and we love having your Momma too!
Negative experience: If i could I would have given this place a zero star review. This place is a scam! I payed a full year membership for Mill Basin location. They shut down the location and refused me to refund. Instead they asked me either to go to the Bay Ridge location which is far away from me or to take online classes. If I want to take online lessons I wouldn’t have paid $1600+. Be careful before you sign up with this location. They are not helpful when it comes to refund or $$! I am just wasting my classes now! Updated: You guys know what you did! I never signed up for the Bay Ridge location. You guys signed me up for Mill Basin location under Bay Ridge! I wish I read every single line on the contract before making the payment rather than trusting your words! It was my mistake for sure!
We are so sorry you feel this way Sadia. We gave you multiple options to enable you to use your membership that you originally signed up for in Bay Ridge. I will keep your personal story private but what you stated above is not what actually occurred as documented thorough many of our conversations. We are so sorry you are disappointed but we made every effort to rectify the situation per company policy.
Fantastic experience: The Max Challenge has been a game changer for me. It is a holistic program focused on health on every level - fitness, mental/emotional, and nutrition. Joining The Max is joining a family of people who truly care about you, who will check in and keep you accountable to your goals with kindness and thoughtfulness. And the workouts are a ton of fun and offered in flexible ways making it possible for people with all different needs and lifestyles to participate. Deb and the team are wonderful. They have helped me rebuild my confidence and make changes that have left me feeling happier, healthier, more energetic, and so many aches and pains have disappeared. I'm very grateful for them!
This review has me smiling from ear to ear! Not only because of your kind words but because you have had such an incredible transformation. We are so proud of you an cannot wait to see where the Max journey takes you next!
Fantastic experience: I have been at Max Challenge for almost six years now. And that is a testament to how amazing this place is. My first year I had the support and help needed to lose weight and get healthy and the following years have just been wonderful being a part of the Max Challenge family — everyone is so welcoming and truly helpful and there as a support system for all your goals. If you are thinking about joining the Max, I say don’t even give it a second thought — this is place you want to be!!
Its been an amazing 6 years getting to know you Sena! You inspire us daily with your strength and dedication to your health! Can't wait to see where the next 6 years take you!

Fantastic experience: The Max Challenge of Bay Ridge is amazing!! I do all my workouts online in my own home and it feels like I have this workout family that is always supporting me. They encourage me to show up for myself and it’s REALLY helped me stay consistent. I love working out 5days a week now! Would highly recommend this if you struggle to stay motivated on your own. Plus, I love the daily positive mindset reminder at the end of each class.
We adore seeing you and the kids everyday! You are teaching them the importance of exercise and keeping yourself healthy at the same time! We are so proud of you! Keep up the great work!

Woohoo! And we love to have you zooming with us every day! Thanks for this awesome review!
Fantastic experience: I started my MAX journey in 2018 initially for much needed self care. I never thought that I was unhealthy, but knew adding a gym routine was what I was missing. I was welcomed by owner, Deb and Gary, staff and members with such ease and I comfort. I began following the nutrition and work out routines. I grew stronger, mentally and physically. I became more educated on what was healthier to eat. I transformed by body and mind. Additionally, I made lifelong friends and probably most important, I made a commitment to better myself. The MAX Challenge is an excellent program. Staff will always help you at every turn, you are family here! The MAX classes are fun, hard and different. Hands down it was one of the best decisions I made for my myself!
We are so glad you feel this way still! 5 years later! We are grateful for your dedication to yourself and that program which is why you and your crew are true Legacy Legends!
Fantastic experience: Positively life changing!
Yes!! Thanks for sharing your feedback Col!
Fantastic experience: Awesome classes. Staff is great and caring. Everyone at the max helps each other out. One big great family. Highly recommend the max.
Thank you for your kind words Janna! And we are so glad you are part of our Max family!
Fantastic experience: I've been with the Max for over 5 years and I can't say enough good things about the Max. The staff is amazing and from the first day to now they are all dedicated to every person who's there, if your missing or if they don't hear from you they always reach out and try to help no matter the issue. If you have any restrictions they come up with an alternative, if your nutrition needs help or changes there always there's and ready to help and give you the motivation you need. So happy I found a place like the max and have been able to share the experience with others
Fantastic experience: The best nutrition and exercise program around! Instructors are caring, supportive and knowledgeable. The classes are great and the people in the classes are super supportive. The fellow Maxers are always there for each other and an accountability group helps you stay on track. ❤️❤️ 5 year Max family member!!

I feel better , look better, I’m healthier than I have been in years. A wonderful bunch of new friends and the instructors are so supportive and all around great people. The gym is spotless and the classes are actually fun. Give it a shot , you will never regret it!

We are so glad you made that decision Stephen! We adore you and the energy you bring to our 6:06 tribe!
Fantastic experience: I am forever grateful that I joined The Max Challenge of Bay Ridge 2 years ago. I’ve been to other gyms but could never stick to it. But with the Max, you don’t just have access to the fitness classes, you’re given incredible resources to help guide your nutrition and access to some amazing items like their protein powder (tastes great and clean!), fun events like the Max Day of Giving fundraiser and you’re surrounded by non-judgmental people (which was a breath of fresh air!). The pandemic really took a toll on my physical and mental health and I know being part of this wonderful community is a huge part of why I am overall better now. Deb and Gary are so selfless, hard working and supportive. They really do make you feel like a part of family in the most wonderful way. THANK YOU for all you do!!! If you’re looking to change your health in a positive way, I can’t emphasize enough to go to the Max of Bay Ridge!!!
Wow Heather! Your words have me all choked up! I am so glad you feel this way. We are so lucky to have you in our Max family and are so very grateful for this amazing review!
Fantastic experience: The max has changed my life. It's not just a gym, it's a true community. I have kid friends, work friends but my favorite are my max friends. The workouts are approachable, no matter your level. And the multiple times per day ensure you'll never miss a workout. I'm a Max-er for life.
Max friends truly are the BEST friends! You've been a source of sunshine since the day you walked in Steph B! We love you! Thank for this wonderful review!

Fantastic experience: Love this place. Deb, Vanessa and Gary are the best!!!
We love you too Steph!! Thank you for this great review!
Fantastic experience: I have had a great experience with Bay Ridge Max Challenge. The staff is very professional but mostly importantly a lot of fun during the workouts. This program is so easy to incorporate into any lifestyle and with so many class options or/and ability to take the class online whenever you can, makes this sustainable for me. I love the friends I've made, but more importantly the results I'm seeing and the fact that I feel so much healthier.
Thank you for taking time to share your thoughts. We love having you as part of our Max family. You bring great energy and hard work to every class whether in the center or in the Zoom room and that is inspiring to all!!
Fantastic experience: I cannot say enough good things about The Max Bay Ridge. From the moment you step in the center, every staff member makes you feel welcome. Deb and Gary run a great program. Every instructor is positive, motivating, fun and knowledgeable. They answer your questions and give support daily. The center is clean (sanitized after each class) and organized. When I'm there, the staff makes me feel like I am their top priority. I just finished my first 10 weeks here (losing over 20 pounds) and am looking forward to continuing my membership with the Max Bay Ridge as a legacy member. You will not regret the decision to join!
We are so so happy that you joined for the Spring Challenge and that you've decided to continue your Max journey as a Legacy member. Your transformation so far has been absolutely incredible! Keep up the great work! And thank you for this amazing review!
Fantastic experience: From the time we signed up, we immediately felt welcomed and comfortable at max challenge. Everyone who works there is so friendly and helpful, and deb and gary are so full of energy that is contagious. They knew our names from the day we started and are easy to talk to when you need help. The workouts are great and for the first time, we are excited to work out because the classes are so fun and impactful. Max challenge overall is an incredible gym and place to be.
We are so so happy you are enjoying your Max experience so far! You guys are killing it from Day 1 and are the perfect addition to our Max family. I cannot wait to see the after pic!
Fantastic experience: The Max Challenge changed my life in so many ways. I stuck with the 10 week program and came to the max 5 days a week. I ate healthy throughout and lost the weight. I honestly could not beleive the results in just 10 weeks. I enjoy the healthy everyday foods and really feel so much better. The Staff is great they always there for me as well as the other members of the gym. I am still a member 5 years later and I don't think I will ever give it up. If you just stick it out you will succeed. It will change your life too.
Glo it is over 6 years already!!! Can you imagine! Time flies when you're having fun. You and Lauren have been nothing but amazing...hard working and dedicated since Day 1. Keep bringing that amazing energy to 5AM!! Thank you for this wonderful review!
Fantastic experience: The Max Challenge of Bay Ridge is an amazing place to work out. The instructors and members are all awesome.
Thank you for these kind words my love! So glad you're here! You make 5AM so much more fun!
Fantastic experience: Great place to help keep a working mum for & sane. Wonderful group of people
Thank you for taking the time to write this review. You are proof that a busy Mom can get it done. You are dedicated to showing up for yourself and always fierce and focused in your workouts! Keep killing it Nina!
Fantastic experience: I started The Max Challenge Jan of 2020. I was terribly out of shape & I have asthma. The staff at The Max of Bay Ridge not only encouraged me but they also built up my self esteem. I've lost 3 sizes, down 25 lbs & I'm stronger than I've ever been. It got me out of my comfort zone & into a place where I smile at myself in the mirror now. The Max family care about your well-being & will do ANYTHING to help you achieve your goals. There's no gimmicks, there's no pushing you to do things you don't want... they work with you & most of all, they listen! I have achieved my goals again with the most recent 10 week challenge. I walk away so proud of not only myself, but all the friends I've made here. They are forever! You won't regret taking a chance!... Come, walk through their door... you'll see what I'm talking about! I truly wish you the best of luck in your journey...
Hi its Gary from the Max. Are you still trying to get rid of your ticket for rugged maniac, we have someone who would buy it from you.
Fantastic experience: Started writing a review earlier but life interrupted it! Think my half review might be out here somewhere… I will continue my review saying that I suffer from neuropathy! My feet kill me! Since starting The Max, I can say I feel so much more hopeful! Neuropathy can be debilitating and depressing! The best way to fight both of those things is with exercise and consistent movement! I was never a group exercise person before! Never imagined I would look forward to exercising! Never imagined I would love kickboxing! After working out for a little over a year, I can’t tell you how powerful I feel! My arms and shoulders are the strongest they’ve ever been! My legs are very strong now! My feet, despite chronic pain, thank me every day for keeping them moving! I gifted myself a one year membership for my 60th birthday! I can say without hesitation, this was the best thing I have ever done for myself! By my 61st birthday, I know I will be in the best shape of my life, mentally, physically and emotionally! I am stronger than I ever imagined! Deb and Gary own The Max! They love what they do! The Max is like Cheers as a gym! Everybody knows and supports each other because that’s the environment the owners cultivated! I could go on for an hour, you get the idea! Stop wasting time, come experience it for yourself! My one regret is not joining sooner! Good luck!
Wow Maryjo this review had me smiling from ear to ear the whole time!!! Thank you my love!! We are so glad you found our Max family. We are so proud of the progress you have made physically and mentally since joining. We are grateful for the positive energy you bring as you work to make 60 your best decade yet!!!!
Fantastic experience: If you would love to exercise, get a great nutritional program and work with amazing people, you will love The Max of Bay Ridge! Deb, Gary , Vanessa and all the staff are amazing and so helpful. Deb and her staff keep everything spotless. When you join you have an instant family to workout with. Best decision I ever made was joining the Max of Bay Ridge.
Thank you Peggy!! We love the Wade family!!! You have been an inspiration to so many since you walked in back in 2019!
Fantastic experience: Joining the Max was not only the best gym I’ve ever joined bc of the ever changing workouts, but the group of people & staff who always make you feel welcome. Every class is a different workout, so you never get bored! You are constantly encouraged and praised for giving your all without feeling defeated when you need to modify an exercise. Plus, they (especially Deb) are always there for support and to offer life, nutrition and workout advice. Can not recommend enough!
Will always be here for you my girl! and for all the entire Max family! Thank you for taking time to share your thoughts on what makes the Max so special. We are so grateful to have you as a part of the Max of Bay Ridge family!
Fantastic experience: The Max of Bay Ridge is an amazing place to start taking care of yourself, especially if you’ve never worked out before. The people are welcoming, workouts are easy to learn and then build upon as you get stronger. There’s never any pressure to attend, but they check in on you without judgement to make sure all is ok if you miss many classes, which makes starting up again after a setup much easier! Would truly recommend to anyone trying to fit in a consistent workout routine, even working moms, as part of their new everyday life.
Love it!! great review and great advice Nicole Thank you!! We have enjoyed watching you growing stronger and more amazing over the last year! Keep up the great work!
Fantastic experience: The Max is the best! The instructors are top notch. The owner/instructor Deb, is truly dedicated in helping members achieve their fitness goals.All of the instructors are great & the members are friendly. Love the Max!
Awww and we love you Keri!! Thanks for sharing this kind feedback!
Fantastic experience: I joined the Max Challenge of Bay Ridge just over a year ago and recommend it highly. It’s truly one of the best things that I have ever done for myself! I am down at least one size in clothes, feel much stronger and more flexible than ever before - simply amazing overall! Vanessa is a fantastic instructor and Deb and Gary run a really great business.
Thank you for this incredible review Barb! We are so glad you joined our Max family and we love the fun & fierce energy you bring every day!
Fantastic experience: Love the Max Fam. Have been with the morning crew for over a year now. The workout continues to challenge me Deb, Gary, Vanessa and everyone there are supportive and inspiring. The workouts are also portable that I can do anywhere at home or away.
Fantastic experience: As long as you show up, they can help you achieve what you want. It's a great place, great people, great planning, great vibe. One sentence "you won't regret it if you go"
We do have the greatest members! Especially hard working and dedicated members like yourself who make our community so special!! Thank you for these kinds words!! We love you Estal!
Fantastic experience: If you're looking to make changes big or small this is the place to go. If you're too busy or a little lazy, this is still the place to go. The whole crew keeps you motivated and accountable. This great group of people will help you to stay on track for whatever fitness and health goals you set for yourself. And you will have fun too! Do it!
Thank you for this wonderful review Nell! We are so glad you brought your amazing vibe to our Max family!
Fantastic experience: Everyone At The Max From The Owner To The People That Come Their R AMAZING.. We ALL Work Together To Help As MUCH As We Can To Support Each Other.. It Is A GREAT Place & I HIGHLY Recommend It To EVERYONE..
Thanks Margaret! We love you too!!
Fantastic experience: I REALLY HAD SUCH A GOOD TIME HERE WHEN I PARTICIPATED IN THE CHALLENGE. The trainers & staff are very welcoming and friendly. The participants & regulars are also nice. It's a judgment free place. I really felt good and comfortable here!
Fantastic experience: Literally the best place to go to get motivated! They listen to you and help you do what needs to help you get your body and mind right!
Fantastic experience: Everything about The Max is fantastic! The trainers make working out fun. They are really on your side, helping you with your form and are always available for questions.
Fantastic experience: Amazing Staff and great place to work out. Love the positive and motivating vibes. No judgement zone!
Fantastic experience: Amazing center with amazing staff! Deb, Gary, Mike and the rest of the staff are so committed and true to the cause you feel it the minute you walk in. This is not just about weight loss, this is about being and doing the best you can, in body, mind and spirit. It’s the togetherness, caring, kindness and sharing of the max community. it’s a place where neighbors and community members gather together, achieve their goals, support each other and oddly enough would have never met and come together if it wasn’t for the Max. I have been a member from day 1 and am grateful to continue to be a part. Thank you Deb, Gary and Mike for your tireless work.
Fantastic experience: A wonderful place to go and workout everyone there is helpful the trainer rocks.
Fantastic experience: One of the Best exercise places out there. Top Nutrition along with varied workout trained by an excellent and knowledgeable staff. Results are guaranteed and happen! I love the Max of Bay Ridge!
Negative experience: Ok
Fantastic experience: I love the Max Challenge. The staff and Trainers are absolutely amazing. They are on point and always there to assist with all your needs.
Fantastic experience: To join Max challenge was the best ever decision I ever take about gyms, this is the best gym I ever been, I really enjoy every single class...........
Fantastic experience: The Maxx has literally changed my life. I don't know what I would do without it, it has become a part of my lifestyle. My days without the gym do not feel complete. I've accomplished things I didn't think we're possible. I've learned it's mind over matter. Your mind will quit on you long before your body will. And from my experience it's true. Mike is my main instructor bc he pushed me to o do things that I don't want to but he knows I can or that eventually I will. I absolutely live the Maxx. I've been in and out of gyms for years, the workouts, the inspiration and the push are second to none. Just show up for yourself like I do. You deserve it. Thank you to all my Instructors and peers- the Beasts of Bay Ridge. Strong is sexy.
Fantastic experience: The MAX has been life changing for me. When I started the 10 week challenge, I could barely keep up with the class. I was doing almost every exercise modified. I could barely walk up an avenue or set of stairs without being out of breathe. Mike Anderson is an awesome trainer, always pushing me and everyone else to do better. Everyone is very friendly and always willing to help if needed. I am currently on week 7 and I feel stronger and better than ever. I can keep up with the class and I definitely feel and see a difference in my body. I have been very compliant with nutrition and I have not missed one day since I started. I cannot wait to see the full transformation once this challenge concludes. I would recommend the MAX to everyone! You have to believe in yourself and do something for yourself!
Fantastic experience: The best... If you want to get healthy and exercise with a group of friendly people in Bay ridge,b this is the place for you. Call and speak to Deb Mirabella
Fantastic experience: I have gotten fantastic results and love the camaraderie and support of fellow MAXERS! I love the variety of workouts so it’s never boring!
Fantastic experience: The staff is top notch!!
Fantastic experience: I love so many things about the Max Challenge program! A family or friends somehow is formed. A group of random diverse people of all athletic levels somehow become a cohesive unit. We are all reaching for a goal, and to do it alongside people while having fun is all the better! The instructors genuinely care and help. There heart is in it, so yours is also. I love it! Its like being on a team again for me in my adult life! In doing so your are motivated and continue on your own at home to eat healthy. The workouts are only 5 days and 45 minutes a day, and it is fun!
Fantastic experience: I love everything about it.....the workouts, the people, the music, and of course the instructors. Everone keeps me focused and motivated and that’s what keeps me coming back every day!!!! Lisa
Fantastic experience: Great classes. Being comfortable even to modify exercises is a great feeling. The staff is so kind and helpful. And the clientele are genuinely encouraging and sweet. It’s a win win win.
Fantastic experience: If you need that little kick to get you back on track this is THE place to go! Start with a 10 weeks challenge and then upgrade to be a legacy member you won't regret it trust me! The owners are adorable, passionate and very dedicated, and Mike is THE best instructor to push you off your limits.. Oh and let's not forget to say that this is a "safe" place, no one will judge you on your appearance and/or age, I enrolled in january and will never regret doing so!
Fantastic experience: A great place to get in shape and drop those unwanted pounds. They offer exercise programs for all levels of ability coupled with nutritional guidance. No gym bunnies to intimate you. Just people who want to succeed. The staff is super. Very caring and supportive. Almost like having a personal trainer. The members are very friendly because we do exercise as a group and we get to know each other. If you are ready to make the commitment, this is the place for you.
Fantastic experience: I am a big fan of group classes, I love the motivation, support and the ability to workout in a group setting and still have my own modified workout. They also give you a ton of support for nutrition. I have been coming here for over a year and I have never had the same workout! I love the people who come here and the trainers are great. This is now my gym! (This picture is me, I couldn't "plank" before and now I can!!!)
Negative experience: Sounds like a stampede every morning at 5am. Thanks a lot!
