Review from Jordan V.

Many people do not realize that all personal trainers are not created equal. It's like any other industry where you can either settle for 'good enough' and rely on people not knowing any better, or you can relentlessly pursue the perfection of your science/art because you both want to be in that top 1% and because you want to deliver the best possible service to your client. Max is the latter. Aside from being pound for pound the strongest person I have ever met Max also has an innate talent for separating what is useful from what is a fad and putting it into action. Max is going to give it to you straight. I will tell you right now that you may not always like what you hear, but that is why you will make progress and not get hurt. In a culture of trainers blindly kicking their client's asses without stopping to think if they should or if it's what the client needs Max is the standout who will make sure you need your beat down before delivering it.
I have known Max since 2008 and believe him to be that top 1% of trainers, but if he ever brings up this review I will erase it immediately and tell him he sucks. :)
