Human Fitness – Get the body you want, Safely.

I came to Human Fitness after suffering from years of chronic back pain. I had become pretty inactive and had seen multiple physical therapists without getting better. I could not be any happier that I chose to come to Human Fitness. After meeting with Max just once, I already felt relief, and for the first time in a long time, felt hope that my back pain would go away. I have been seeing him for about 6 months now and my back feels better than it has in years. Max is extremely knowledgeable and worked tirelessly to help me. He was able to help me make realistic lifestyle changes to reach my goals, and I can now easily say I feel stronger and better than I have in a long time! Max took the time to explain the reasoning behind everything we did, and made sure that I understood how my body was working. The hour I spend at Human Fitness every week is truly invaluable not just in helping me feel better, but also in teaching me to live pain free long-term. Max strikes the right balance of keeping workouts challenging and fun at the same time, and it is evident that he truly cares about his clients and their individual goals.
I now feel better, stronger, and have more energy. Coming to Human Fitness was the best decision I made, and anyone dealing with pain or just trying to live a better life would benefit endlessly from coming to Human Fitness!

Max is an incredible fitness coach who's helped me really level up my fitness. Thanks to him and his team, in my 40s, I am stronger, more resilient and have longer endurance than I did 10-15 years ago! What's best is, after years of logging long work hours sitting in front of the computer and thinking I'd lost my passion--and no longer had the time for--fitness, Max has helped me rediscover my love for working out and being active overall. He's also taught me techniques that help me stay fit without long, consecutive hours at the gym or too much boring cardio. Plus, he makes training fun!

I’ve been training with Max at Human Fitness since he first opened 5 years ago and our fitness journey has been evolutionary! As a 63 year-old female, my primary reasons for staying fit have been so that I can continue to enjoy a high-quality of life. I know from years of purposeful physical activity that it is possible to beat back the preventable decline of aging and that staying active helps control any weight gain as the years past and you naturally lose muscle. What was new and different about working with Max at Human Fitness was that, in addition to building muscle strength and endurance, I learned how to correct imbalances in my body that formed from years of bad habits. I didn’t know before that these imbalances were the reason for my joint pain and injuries. I just thought that my knee and shoulder pain was due to aging and that I would have to just live with it or take medication. With Max, I learned how to correct weakness that resulted from overusing the stronger sides of my body (right arm and leg). I also discovered during this journey that not being in alignment was creating more wear and tear on my joints and causing me pain. Simply correcting those patterns resulted in less difficulty of movement in my daily life and has also greatly improved my balance. I am so much more aware of how I walk, sit, stand, and move my body now. I hope Max and I will be working out together when I’m in my 80’s and maybe even my 90’s. I know Max is dedicated to making me the best that I can be for all the years to come!

I have been working out with Max at Human Fitness since 2013. Human Fitness has been the only "gym" I have ever been able to commit to as part of my weekly routine. I have been training at Human Fitness 3 times a week over the last 6 years and have learned the correct ways to move my body to allow it to function at its highest potential. In the past, I have had injuries while working out due to incorrect form, mechanics and over all not really understanding how my body should move. At Human Fitness, you start with the basics and build from there. You are learning the correct form and mechanics to function better today and for the rest of your life. You also learn how to BREATHE, something that I always thought I knew how to do correctly. While learning these mechanics and how to breathe better I have been able to get in the best shape of my life. Max also coached me throughout my pregnancy.. I was able to workout several times a week up until my due date. I never had any back pain or any other pain which allowed me to keep my body moving, maintain muscle and prepare my body for labor in the healthiest way possible. Max tweaked all my workouts to make sure that I was always safe and staying within healthy limits. Post birth, I am in better shape than I was prior to pregnancy. I am leaner, stronger and healthier than ever. I can honestly say that if it wasn't for Max and his continued education and dedication to his clients I probably would have never stuck with Human Fitness as long as I have. I recommend Human Fitness to everyone who asks me how I manage to keep working out part of my daily life. I love how each workout is different, fun and targets my individual needs, challenging me both mentally and physically. Working out at Human Fitness is a very rewarding experience!

I’ve tried at least 5 times to write this testimonial and always come up short because Max and Human Fitness have made such a tremendous impact on my life. I am healthier, stronger, and more agile and independent than I’ve ever been. I have been transformed from a lazy retiree into a badass.
When I couldn’t lift another pound, they nurtured my body into excellence. When I couldn’t run another step or jump another hurdle, they built a powerhouse in me. They always push me for more, but never use competition as a carrot because there is no statistics board here … only competency. Whatever training I need, they provide. I am not another “client” in a “factory.” To them, I am a uniquely patterned human that they are looking to make as optimal and capable as I can be. And my trainer isn’t just another glorified gym teacher who started a business. My coach radiates effort to make me better and I feel that every time I walk through HF’s doors. The specialty of HF is smart, compassionate coaching. They are always studying, always questioning, always decoding the human body to help me move and feel better. Although they train top-tier athletes as well, they have changed this plain Jane into one invincible human being. It’s what they do. HOW and WHY they do it is their passion, specialty and genius. I am forever grateful. I can’t recommend this place enough.

Human Fitness is great! I went from feeling pain everyday, to learning how to get rid of the pain and not feeling it at all. The trainers are extremely helpful and kind which makes working out fun! I would 100% recommend Human Fitness to everyone.

I was born with Erb’s Palsy to my left arm and before Human Fitness I was going to acupuncturists, masseuse(s)?, and traditional physical therapists who claimed they could help me increase my range of motion. They all did that, but only temporarily and their methods weren’t practical where I could practice them at home unless I had special equipment. Max and Andreas taught me how to train my body and my mind to obtain the best ROM and gave me strategies to practice at home and push myself everyday. I am so grateful to them and highly recommend their expertise for anyone seeking to learn more about their body and how to improve it.

My life before Human Fitness was full of worry. I saw my body breaking down due to my career as a hairstylist. My nephew, a dedicated member of my family, someone I consider to be a friend, gave me a wake up call about 5 years ago. Spending time with a 7 year old felt defeating and errands became an exhausting chore. I also started noticing I would fatigue quickly at work. I asked myself at the age of 35 “How the hell can I continue this for another 30 years?” The part that really sucked was, I genuinely wanted to keep up. I love my career, being there for my family, and experiencing outdoor activities. I spent loads of money at high end gyms which resulted in more debt than actual fitness results. When I met Max at a boot camp he held, I felt inspired. Women and men of all ages lifting heavy, flipping monster truck tires, rope slams with a 50 pound rope, TRX, and swinging heavy kettlebells. This workout was not for the faint of heart. I was shocked at how quickly I gained the ability to keep up with others. The results came fast! When Human Fitness was born, I have to admit, I didn’t understand the philosophy. I thought it was a fancy name for all the methods he was showing us at bootcamp. HELL NO, it was on another level! My muscle definition was progressing through the bootcamp workouts but learning the correct positions was key. Training in the correct positions kept me injury free, it allowed me to workout more. Unbelievable right! HF gave me the tools to workout and get rid of my shoulder and knee injuries. Gaining knowledge about my posture and awareness of how I breathe became my priority and the key to my longevity. I use to think of fitness in terms of the amount of reps it takes to create muscle. Since attending HF my goals have changed. I always wanted to be fit. HF taught being fit is a byproduct of the training that will happen regardless. My focus now has shifted to my habits throughout my daily life (e.g. Am I standing correctly, am I breathing, are all the points of my feet touching the floor). Once all those questions are answered with a ‘YES’, your body will create muscle definition while you move throughout your daily life and training. You will feel stronger and have a better relationship with your body. Your body will thank you with results.

Before I met Max I had suffered a shoulder injury and had extremely limited mobility. Max helped treat my injury and increase the rage of my shoulder mobility greatly. Ever since I have started training here, I have not suffered a major injury due to incorrect mechanics. Max also helped me realign my knees and feet which weren’t in great shape. I would recommend human fitness to any who is looking for a way to optimize their movement, prevent injury, and strengthen their body correctly.

Deciding to train with Max at Human Fitness has been one of the best decisions I've ever made. I started training with Max once I was cleared to workout again post pregnancy. When I started at Human Fitness I was experiencing knee and back pain from pregnancy. With Max's help I am now able to move more efficiently and without any pain. He has shown me the proper way to exercise without putting strain on my body. Since training at Human Fitness I have never felt stronger or more confident. Max is dedicated to helping all of his clients feel their best. From the moment I stepped into the gym, I could tell he was really rooting for me to reach my goals. I cannot recommend Human Fitness enough.
