Despues de mi embarazo, se me dificultaba bajar de peso. Me inscribi en varios gimnasios pero dejaba de ir, no me sentia motivada. Desde que comenze Max Challenge he visto la diferencia. El grupo es excepcional, los entrenadores son muy profesionales pero la motivacion que recibes de cada uno hacen que desee ir todos los dias! Estoy encantada!

The Max has an amazing community of people that are passionate about health and wellness. I get so excited to come in and see new and familiar faces that genuinely care about each other. From strength training and cardio to kickboxing, there is so much variety in the workouts that it’s tough to get bored. Plus they keep getting new equipment and finding fun and exciting ways to challenge members. The Max is a place for exercise, nutrition, and camaraderie that is so hard to find these days!!

Next month marks 7 years since I joined The Max Challenge. This is the longest I have belonged to a gym and consistently attended. But this isn’t your typical gym and that’s what I love about it. Choose from 8 different class times during the week - in person or live virtual - and bonus classes most Saturdays. Membership includes unlimited workouts as well as nutrition guidance (optional). I have made so many new friends - we have been to see a show, gone on hikes/walks, participated in Rugged Maniac together (which I would have never done before), etc. As I get older, I have experienced those aches and pains and am happy that The Max offers so many modifications for me. They have also added new equipment over the past year to help mix things up. Give it a try - you won’t be disappointed!

After a couple of very difficult years (getting laid off after 25 years at my job, unexpectedly losing my brother and best friend, having emergency surgery just to name a few) I was eating my sadness and stress. I had no energy and put on 30 lbs. I was so unhappy. I knew I needed to do something but didn’t know what. I saw the Max Challenge post and decided to give it a try. I was very hesitant, I felt I had let myself go too far and didn’t have high hopes for what 10 weeks would do for me. Boy was I wrong! The ten weeks I was dreading ended up flying by and the results were worth every drop of sweat!! Joining the Max Challenge literally turned my life around.

This program absolutely works if you do your part. The staff at Max most definitely do theirs and if you put in your side of the work you WILL be successful. The coaches and teachers and every staff member go above and beyond to make you not just feel welcome, but that you belong there. This is not a typical gym vibe - there’s no competition, it’s 150% supportive and everyone is your cheerleader My before and after photos do not truly show the positive changes I made. You can see the difference, yes, but you can’t see everything else I achieved. The confidence, the happiness, the better overall health that is there along with the loss of 20 lbs! I’m fortunate to have found this when I did, it has drastically improved my quality of life. Thank you to everyone at Max and looking forward to continued success! ❤️

I love Max Challenge of South Windsor.
I personally don’t like Gym working out with machines and have never been to a Gym, may be a couple time and did cycling and treadmill.
But I mostly enjoy walking outside in the nature.

After my second delivery I was looking out for a workout place with an instructor and found Max.
I used to workout at home with heart healthy walk together videos on YouTube with my husband.

Max was ideal for me, I love all the instructors in Max but my personal favorite is Heidi and Kim both.
I would love to leave each a review.
I worked out mostly in Heidi’s class and I love her attention to details.
The plan she creates for each day and the variations that she adds on to the extra push that you are looking for , which adds to achieving the milestones you are looking at.
It is important to know the exercise and how it works on your muscle.
She works the plan to best suit each and everyone’s fitness goals/milestones.
She is very approachable and is committed to whatever she does.
She plays the right music for each day depending lower body , cardio or upper body etc.
The best part is she made me feel comfortable walking in her class and makes us feel free to try the exercises in your own pace and level.
You will be in love with the class and you would never want to miss it.

And you will never feel pressurized but Motivated instead.

Max for that matter gives you the flexibility to attend a different class if you missed one. The most flexible plan one can ever find.

She provides motivational quotes and thoughts for the mind and exercises for the body and music for the soul.

I love working out in Max for my fitness milestones and maximum transformation mentally, emotionally and physically.
Thank you Heidi and all the trainers.

I’ve had the privilege of being a trainer at MAX Challenge of South Windsor for several years now, and I can confidently say it is a very rewarding experience.

What sets MAX apart is our holistic approach to fitness. We don't just focus on physical transformation - we also prioritize mental and emotional well-being. Our trainers work closely with each member to understand their unique goals, challenges, and motivations, and customize workouts that cater to their individual needs.

As a trainer, there's nothing more fulfilling than witnessing our members achieve their goals and celebrate their successes. Whether it's helping someone complete their first workout, reach a new personal best, or simply find the confidence to take on new challenges, every moment is a reminder of why I love what I do.

At MAX, we're more than just a gym - we're a supportive community that uplifts and motivates each other every step of the way. If you are looking to make a change in your health and wellness come see us at the Max Challenge in South Windsor!

The Max Challenge is such a great place to get healthy and fit! Their multi-pronged approach has proven very effective for me: fun cardio/strength/kickboxing classes 5-6 days/week (offered in-person or virtually) along with goalsetting and a nutrition plan that yields results. And I really love the "Challenge" approach that provides specific time-bound Challenges to work toward goals and keep me motivated. Every movement is scalable to my current ability, and it feels great to make progress every week and try harder versions of movements that I could not do when I started. I always look forward to seeing what fun my favorite instructor Heidi S has planned for us each day, along with all the other friendly, supporting members who make it like a family there. So happy I found the Max - it's my new happy place for 15 months and counting!
