    I have been a member of the Max Challenge of Montclair for over 4 years now! I love it! I has changed my life! I have lost weight (a lot); gained strength; eat healthy; increased my athletic performance in cycling, mountain biking, skiing, and snowboarding! The nutrition plan plus the work outs are easy to follow. You should stop thinking about it, and just join us!

    Highly recommend The Max Challenge Montclair, wonderful exercise and nutrition program that encourages health and personal well-being through daily rigorous exercise and a tight knit community of “Maxers”. Joined right before Hurricane Ida decimated The Max Montclair studio and have been amazed by the strength of the Montclair team to persevere and rebuild in spite of great odds. Lost 14 lbs during my first month and have continued to follow the program ever since. Enjoy all the encouragement and community The Max Montclair has brought into life, especially during the pandemic.

    I have nothing but positive reviews to write. I joined the Max Challenge with the 10 week challenge that began on January 11, 2021. It has been the best decision I have taken in regards to my health and body. I could not be any happier with the way I look and feel. The classes are great and the group of trainers they have are amazing. In addition, the nutrition pamphlets for the 10 weeks are so useful in helping you understand what you should and shouldn't eat. The staff is also very supportive, there to answer any questions you have. I have now extended my challenge membership beyond the 10 weeks to a monthly one because my daughter is doing her own 10 week challenge and I am right there with her. This is how much I believe in this program!! I always say, you get what you put into something. And if you are ready to commit to a healthier body and life, then the Max Challenge is for you! :)

    I joined this gym two and a half years ago after struggling to find a gym I liked my whole life. Since joining, I have lost about fifteen pounds and gone down two full sizes. I feel healthier, stronger, and more flexible than I've ever been. The gym encourages not beating yourself up for your failures, but instead jumping back on the wagon when you fall off. The Max of Montclair has a great community of members, trainers, and managers. They have done a great job offering in-person, hybrid, and fully virtual since the pandemic began. I cannot recommend them enough!

    Joining was the best decision I have made in a long time. They have helped me take back control of my health and wellness. The guidance and support from the staff is everything! I would highly recommend this program to anyone looking to take back control of your health in a fun and supportive environment at your own pace.

    I’ve been to numerous other gyms, and I can tell you the Max of Monclair is the one I’ve stuck with the longest! Not only is the facility, nice and spacious but the workouts are fun and the instructors are amazing. It is one of the most supportive atmospheres I’ve ever experienced! If you’re debating whether or not to try it, I would absolutely say DO IT! You won’t regret it.

    The Max Challenge of Montclair is the perfect place to either start or maintain your fitness journey. All of the staff and even participants are so encouraging and friendly. Toby, Greg or the team will even reach out to you when you miss your workouts 😉 Plus you’ll be pushed to reach new goals constantly. No matter the experience level, this center is for you.

    I LOVE The Max Challenge of Montclair. I’ve never felt so motivated to make exercise an integral part of my routine, and it’s all because of the support of the awesome trainers and staff. I never feel ashamed or not good enough, because the instructors make you feel like you belong, regardless of your exercise skill or comfort level. I love the various modifications they give for the exercises, so there’s never an excuse of “I can’t.” If you’ve been waiting to make a positive change in your life, do not wait one more second. Sign up for a 10 week challenge. It will change your life!!

    I absolutely love the Max! I began with the 10 week challenge in October last year, and I am hooked for life! It’s a cheerful place, convient to get to, plenty of parking! The staff and trainers are caring and amazing; everyone knows your name and greets you with a big smile. The workouts are phenomenal, and the best part is the way classes are scheduled: anybody can fit in a 45 minute session at some point over the course of the day! 5 stars to the Max family!! So happy to be part of it!

    I’m so happy I joined Max Challenge 12/21, and I’m still going strong!! The classes are fun, challenging and high energy. Everyone has their own level, so you never feel pressure. The instructors are all great, they play the best music! Toby to owner is always there to greet you with a smile. She invites feedback and wants to make sure all her members are happy. It’s a family feeling. Give it a try!! 😊

    I've been a member of the MAX Challenge of Montclair for a year and a half, and I'm sad I didn't find it earlier. The staff at the MAX is extremely motivating, challenging, and encouraging. Everyone (staff & members) is friendly, and it feels more like a family than a gym. The classes are challenging, and no two classes are the same. The MAX has done an excellent job of keeping members motivated even throughout the pandemic, providing pre-recorded and ZOOM classes for those who are not comfortable taking classes in center. They've also gone above and beyond with their safety precautions and cleanliness.

    The Max is a great program. It's the only gym/studio/fitness program that I have ever known which actually cares, motivates, and rewards its members to come to classes. The Max class is often the best part of my day as it is fun and leaves with a wonderful positive spirit. I love the community feel where your fellow members are encouraging and supportive. So many positive things to say that I can't list them all. I must note that I love that it is a 100% judgement free zone..... and the trainers are great!

    Highly recommend the Max facilities. I joined the Max of Montclair after a 10 week challenge back in early 2017. The program and nutrition has become the best platform in achieving some challenging goals of weight loss but most importantly blossoming into my healthier self.

    I joined Max Challenge Montclair late in the spring of 2020 when some Covid-19 restrictions had been lifted. We met in beautiful Anderson Park. I am probably one of the oldest members and I am also a cancer survivor Despite that I enjoy the regime. I feel the instructors push the participants to the "max." with enjoyable but challenging routines. The music they play while we exercise is wonderful. When we moved into the gym, everyone adhered to strict Covid-19 and CDC guidelines. I greatly appreciate that. I can exercise knowing that the gym is doing its best to keep the participants free of this horrible virus. I highly recommend Max Challenge Montclair. I am glad I joined and will continue as long as I am physically able to do so.

    I’ve been a member of this establishment for over 3 years and I must say that I’ve had an amazing fitness experience with my health. Their workout and nutrition programs are very effective in maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Their trainers are phenomenal. The Max offers flexible timings to suit your schedule and it’s a new experience everyday. Highly recommend especially if you are looking a dynamic and fun fitness experience. !!

    I am so happy I discovered the Max Challenge in Montclair. The instructors are top notch, really know what they are doing and it's FUN! There is not one single negative thing I can say -I love this place. Going there is the best part of my day.

  • 1/5 Johanna P. 1 year ago on Google
    These people are so unprofessional i told them I really wanted to sign up for the 10 week challenge for free because I'm a person with disabilities and I can't afford paying $10 a class they still don't care they want me to pay because all they want is money nice try but it's not gonna work with me I'm gonna talk to the owner about this!!!

  • 5/5 Daniela T. 1 year ago on Google
    The Maxx is a terrific gym - classes happen often, at convenient times and keep me motivated and engaged. The trainers are really fantastic and the community of members are incredibly supportive. Getting in and out to do a class in 45 minutes, 5 days a week, is exactly the commitment I was able to make with my schedule. Very grateful for The Maxx!!

    The MAX Challenge of Montclair is the MULTIPLE PATHWAYS GYM. If you are one of those people who join a regular gym and end up going only five times — The MAX CHALLENGE is for You because they WILL NOT allow you to give up. With over 8 daily fun-filled classes to choose from, frequent and friendly text reminders to come to class and a team of WONDROUS No- Judgement highly trained fitness instructors, you WILL be in class! My favorites are ELLIE— a laugh till you cry and squat story-teller who will have you exercising to Beyoncé ! IF YOU press the snooze button and miss her 7:00 am class, you can boogie to 80’s Classics with LISA at 8:30 am. In addition, LEGACY members will guide you with some of the more challenging exercises! Thank you MAX Challenge!

    I have been going to the Max Challenge now for 5 weeks, it is the best thing I have done for myself, my fitness and my lifestyle. Everyone is friendly, the trainers take the time to show you everything and it's somewhere l couldn't miss. Previously I dreaded the gym and working out, not I look forward to it. Highly recommend!

  • 5/5 Melissa M. 6 months ago on Google
    I have never been part of a fitness concept that has kept me as consistent as The MAX Challenge has. They CALL ME when I miss a few days and keep me on track with my goals!! The community is amazing as well, I've met friends here that I will carry with me for life. The classes are engaging and fun, the trainers also help me modify any exercises I am not yet comfortable with. I can even do my workouts from home if I can't make it to the center some days, there is literally no way to fail with them! I will be a MAXer forever!!

    It’s a real testament to a gym when 5 years later, the people you started the program with are still going and the same instructors are still there. It’s a great community that makes you feel welcome no matter what fitness level you are. At the same time, they really encourage making working out a daily routine. They also have a nutrition component that works.

    Beware, unfiltered honesty post! I was terrified to go to MaxFitness. It had been years since I had been to a gym or a fitness class. I tried the “I can workout at home” approach, only to be left with super expensive valets and less space! From the minute I walked into MaxFitness, I knew I had made the right decision. Firstly, every ‘body’ looked different. And everyone looked happy! The instructor made all modifications super clear (I’m the Modified Kid!) and the music was terrific. Not only am I my way back to fitness but it’s also a workout for my spirit. Sometimes you don’t realize how much you needed something until you get it. In closing, do it. Do it for you. Everyone can’t wait for you to get here!
