The MAX Challenge of West Orange

Negative experience: The Max Challenge of West Orange has potential to become better. The trainers for the most part are pleasant and some of them are better than others. It really depends on what works for you. The owner and head coach Rob has no manners and lacks leadership. As a newbie, he comes off approachable, but after being there for some time you'll realize eventually he's not easy to talk to. Honestly, overtime his workouts are repetitive and very boring. You'll be doing the same boring workout every single week; it's easy to guess the next move. I wish he would switch it up a bit. You end up paying all this money and he shows up not giving it his best. Rob's big ego prevents him from taking constructive criticism as he thinks he's the best and knows everything. At this point, his trainers can train him.

Fantastic experience: Robert, the owner of The Max Challenge in West Orange, is a phenomenal motivator and trainer. He and his team are professional, energetic, and truly talented. I’m thrilled to be part of such a dynamic group. If you’re looking to reach your personal fitness goals, I highly encourage you to make The Max Challenge in West Orange your go-to destination—you won’t regret it!

Fantastic experience: I’ve seen real progress in my fitness since joining last month, and the environment makes it easy to stay consistent. I actually look forward to my workouts now! Definitely recommend this gym to anyone looking to stay motivated and see results.

Fantastic experience: The Max West Orange makes it easy to get back in shape at your own pace. After having 2 babies, I was nervous about stepping back into the workout world, but after speaking with Robert, i felt more confident. The Max develops workouts geared toward different levels which makes you feel comfortable and not feel out of place. It is worth the investment of yourself and your health. I would highly recommend! Give it a try, you have nothing to lose.

Fantastic experience: I love the Max west orange, I have been going consistently for 4 weeks and I absolutely love it there!!! All the fitness instructors are professional and friendly, it is a welcoming environment also I love it over the traditional gym!!!!

Positive experience: I’ve had a great experience at The Max Challenge. The instructors are really nice and I love the classes. Feels like family there.

Fantastic experience: The MAX of WO offers a welcoming atmosphere with friendly and knowledgeable staff who are always ready to assist. Their commitment to inclusivity ensures that everyone feels comfortable, regardless of fitness level. Equipment is well-maintained, and the variety of classes caters to diverse preferences. Overall, it's a great place for anyone looking to improve their fitness in a supportive environment.

Fantastic experience: Loooooove this place, very nice community of people, everybody is super friendly and you feel the positive encouragement and motivation. Rob kicks out butts every time, he doesn't let us be lazy!

Fantastic experience: I am so excited I decided to return to the Max Challenge for my exercise program. Each day a dedicated instructor focuses on a different area and Friday is kick boxing. A full body, high impact routine is just what i need!

Fantastic experience: This is my 5th week of the Max Challenge of West Orange and I think I've finally found a program that works for me. First of all I enjoy being in a group. I find that beinf in a group setting helps to inspire me to keep going. Secondly, the work out program is not monotonous. The session is 45 mins long but it feels less because you're always engaged and doing new and fresh workout so the time goes by. I love the fact that there are levels to each exercise and depending on the individual and their abilities or limitations, everyone is working out. The instructors I've worked with has been phenomenal. Even though you're in a group, they are attentive, looking out for proper posture and will guide you to ensure you get the most from the exercise without hurting yourself. Let me not forget to mention the nutritionist that's available to members of the Max Challenge. Ive had two sessions with her already. Shes knowledgeable, pleasant and patient. I have learned so much from her nutritionally on my journey to a healthier me . I could go on and on about what I love about the Max Challenge because of the benefits I'm already experiencing but instead I will invite you to try for yourself.

Fantastic experience: Incredible motivating team!!!!

Fantastic experience: The Max in West Orange is a fantastic place for cardio and strength classes. The supportive owner, Rob, and the other trainers genuinely care about each member's progress, creating a welcoming and motivating environment. The community here is incredible—friendly, encouraging, and always ready to motivate each other towards success. My first workout at The Max was HARD, but I stuck with the classes and kept going. By the second week I had so much more energy throughout the day and felt amazing. By week 4-5, I noticed increased strength, stamina, and parts of my body toning up. Highly recommend for any fitness level as the classes are designed to be challenging AND accessible. Highly recommend!!

Fantastic experience: Definitely a great program. The workouts and nutrition is helping me a lot with my fitness journey. Great atmosphere to workout in.

Fantastic experience: This challenge is amazing & tough! If you are ready to do something impactful to get different results, this program is for you. It has been a couple of weeks and I'm more mobile than I have been in years. I look forward to the classes. Dom, Larissa & Rob are awesome & push me to do more. I would recommend this challenge.

Fantastic experience: The Max Challenge in West Orange is amazing. This is exactly what I needed to push me in the right direction to get back to my old self. The trainers are very knowledgeable and push you to the limit. They are invested in your health journey and it shines through in each of their sessions. The meal plan they provide is a game changer and also encourages me to do the right thing. I’m seeing gains in my strength and the inches are starting to fall off. Rob the owner is great. He is very in tune with the members of his gym. He reached out to everyone personally and is always very encouraging. His gym works and is made for everyone.

Fantastic experience: 16 months ago I joined the Max Challenge feeling sluggish, tired and pre-diabetic. Initially my intention was to do 1 challenge, but here I am over a year later. It has truly been one of the best decisions that I've made to prioritize my health. The small classes, experienced and dedicated trainers and the caring Max community have made all the difference with me sticking with the program. I feel stronger and healthier and see resutls. I am so glad that I made this investment in myself!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been a member of the West Orange Max since they opened in 2017. It is much more than a gym - it becomes your community. The trainers and members are the best! I highly recommend this program to anyone looking to make a healthy lifestyle change - it really works!

Negative experience: IF you are looking for a real experience of the max challenge, and I won't encourage you to subscribe to West orange. The max challenge is known for its fun and approachable high intensity training and as well its culture . This center doesn't provide that. Members are to be served on their needs from level 1 modification to the highest level of exercise. And is to be cater for their own needs,and to taught the max culture, and max class format. Members should understand and know all max exercises ,group exercises, cues and modifications , and as well as max class formats. And protocols. Members are to be rewarded for their attendance and honor via max products and other accommodations. Members should be celebrated after one year of progress and be rewarded for it and as well as mention via social media at their own discretion . Which in this center doesn't provide that to legacy members. This center also breaks traditional max programming of exercise, which it a 5-day in 10-week challenge program of cardio,upper,cardio,lower, and kickboxing. Which starts from a level 1 basis program to the hardest level class . Classes are not to be reapeat format , and as well to give a diffrent views of class experiences without losing the essential and effective fundamentals key of exercising. And this center doesnt provide that kind of training The center lacks a front desk person , which you won't have acesss to go and get informed from all the activities ,and events the maxchallenge should provides in which is in your membership. Other center around your area provide all of this theme days, culture gathering , events , workshop , and celebrations to get involved and give the newest members and as well as the legacy members ,a cultural experiences of fitness. This is why I choose to give no stars to this center , and I will encourage you to look around other centers in your area. the meets the unique MAX CHALLENGE experience . Sincerely Coach HERICK SUPER

Fantastic experience: The MAX Challenge of West Orange is the answer to years of neglecting my physical and nutritional health. Unlike the big box gyms, of which I've "financed" many, The MAX Challenge of West Orange offers a safe, friendly, and non-judgmental environment for all levels of the exercise spectrum. From it's inception over 7 years ago, Rob and his staff have been phenomenal in helping me to achieve my fitness goals. Not only have I become more disciplined, attending numerous classes weekly, but I have also become more aware of how I fuel my body through their nutritional guidance. And, I feel GREAT! My weight is down, my lab numbers have greatly improved, and my desire to workout....way up! The MAX Challenge of West Orange is the "BEST!"❤️❤️

Fantastic experience: Been a member at The Max in West Orange for nearly a year now. I had goals when I joined and was unsure about my long term commitment, but Rob's energetic and engaging classes have turned me into a gym enthusiast. It's not just a workout; it's my 'me time' where I push my limits and leave feeling fantastic. Rob's gym class is what I need after a long days work to unwind. And his dedication to helping you reach your goals is evident in his guidance, motivation, and daily tips. Plus, his sense of humor and banging music playlists add a much needed layer of enjoyment to the whole gym experience. His class has a fun bunch of people who make you feel like 'we're in this together and we got this'. I love my time there. I wholeheartedly recommend The Max to anyone. If your wondering, on the fence or unsure, just do it, you'll last longer than you think. Thanks, Rob!

Fantastic experience: The Max west orange is the best first program I have stuck with in years and no yo yo dieting required I highly recommend this program

Fantastic experience: I have been a member of this gym for 4 yrs and I can honestly say I’ve missed a total of four weeks due to illness. Never have I been so dedicated than I have at the Max. I love the trainers and the people I workout with. They motivate me!

Fantastic experience: The MAX is a warm, friendly, encouraging place to build strength, both physical and mental. The trainers all care about each client and help them achieve their goals and offer assistance for any individual challenges a person might have. I have been coming for almost 4 years.

Fantastic experience: I was hesitant to start the Max Challenge as I thought it was more advanced for my entry level but at the same time I knew that I needed to exercise to get stronger not only physically but also mentally due to my long hours stressful job so here I am after 3 months finishing a first challenge and starting the second one, highly motivated to continue as I achieved something very important which is clearing my mind, my mental health and here at the Max Challenge of West Orange you can achieve that! Instructors are amazing! they all support each other making the class super fun! Remember your nutrition, emotional wellbeing and mental health are the most important thing we should be focused on!

Fantastic experience: Good day everyone. This is my 3rd week in, doing the Max Challenge. I am really enjoying it thus far. Now, don’t get me wrong, (Whew, Oh God) lol, it’s work, and it feels like a lot, but it’s good. I may feel a little pain here and there from the work out, but overall, my body feels really good. I can’t wait to see the end result. Everyone is so friendly and polite. If you have any questions or concerns, they are right there to help you in every way. The whole team is great, but I want to shout out to Rob, the owner. What I like about Rob and what he does, he makes it personal. What do I mean when I say this? When you first sign up, he will call you, he will get your name and get to know a bit about you. From the time he gets your name, he doesn’t forget. Every time he sees you, he will call you by your name, you’re not doing something quite right with your work out, he will call you out by your name each time. When I am at the gym and someone walks in, he will call every individual by name. (Now that’s a gift). You feel a certain way when someone acknowledges you by name. (I do). That’s what I wanted to say about Rob. He’s great!! I’m really glad I joined the Max Challenge, so will you. Thank you

Fantastic experience: Great staff, hours offered work for any schedule. The instructors are perfection forcing you to achieve what you pay for all while educating and encouraging you. And the accountability is awesome for that require it.

Positive experience: I'm not a group exercise person but Rob and company convinced me otherwise. Tough. Each week you see progress. Great studio and vibe.

Fantastic experience: I've been working out at The Max West Orange for four years. I left one location because the clientele was nothing like the one in WO. They're so friendly, very supportive, like a family. Rob, the owner, and his staff are amazing! I'm always impressed with Rob how he learns your name from the minute you walk in the door! The workouts are challenging, but can be modified. Rob and the trainers will push you but not more than you're able to handle. It's a great place to workout!

Fantastic experience: I've never belonged to a gym before I joined the MAX Challenge. I started in June 2018 and have consistently been going since. All the credit goes to Rob, the owner, and his team of trainers. Workouts are well organized and the intensity is geared toward individuals comfort level. Everyone is very supportive towards one another. I'm happy to be part of the MAX family.

Awesome to have an entire roomful of teammates cheering you on, along with the most amazing instructors and staff committed to your success. So different from anything else, you need to experience it yourself to believe it.

Fantastic experience: I never imagined I would be able to do the Max Challenge. I am 3 weeks in and never felt better. I have not exercised in years; I now go 5 days a week and look forward to it. Rob is amazing he is tough, caring and knowledgeable. I am seeing results already. Everyone that I train with are so supportive; it is truly a family.
