Introduction: My coaching philosophy, at the most fundamental level, is the belief that every human’s most valuable asset is their body; and that consistent training is one of the best ways (if not the best way) of investing in the performance, body composition, and health of that asset. We lift and carry heavy things; we run--sometimes fast, sometimes slow; we try new movements that feel awkward and make us feel like toddlers, but we also drill fundamentals to make the important stuff stick. We do a lot of the same stuff that other coaches do, we just approach training the same way we would approach mastering an instrument or any other skill that rewards consistent and frequent bouts of effort. The Long Point Training Studio is designed to give 4 people everything need to get the most out of their session. The training area is over 1000 sq/ft is separated into four (4) individual stations and one (1) coaching station in the center. Each station has its own equipment and dedicated floor space to work. First Session Free.

Hi. I have been on a year long weight loss journey and still going. I've lost a little over 85 pounds. I have struggled, cheated, I have hurt real bad, I have cried, obsessed, and I have been proud. Several few months ago, I hit a plateau and fell back into a hole of negativity that I try everyday to jump out of. I figured I was doing something wrong so I have decided to see a personal trainer, Max, three times a week and I've committed myself to this for three months. Keep in mind I have never done any type of weight, body, strength training a day in my life so it's all very new to me and it does hurt, I do complain, but I'm loving it. It is nearing 2 months that I have started seeing Max and he has been great. He's a great listener, he's understanding, he's an excellent motivator, and I believe him 100% that his heart is in it to help me. I have always believed a personal trainer would be more like a drill sergeant and that turned me off more than anything. I now know that isn't the way it has to be. I already feel a difference in myself and when all I can do is think about wanting to lift and exercise all day every day then I know we are doing something right. If I feel better and can see some results in almost 2 months, I can't wait to see what 6 months brings. Thanks Max!!!

I reached out to Thumbtack because I was finally ready to get motivated with my health and fitness. For too long Ive been unfit and overweight and knew I didnt have the knowledge nor understanding of fitness to do this alone so set out to find a personal trainer. One of the other reasons was I was interested in lifting heavy weights (Id read a lot about it but didnt have the knowledge or courage to start). I received numerous responses but choose Max for his willingness to tailor his training to my requirements whilst demonstrating a great knowledge for fitness and nutrition in general. Ive been training with Max 3 times a week for almost 5 months now and Ive lost both inches and lbs and noticed a difference in my overall health. When Ive not been able to attend my sessions due to vacation, Max has given me exercises to continue with whilst Im away. Most recently Max has been teaching me more and more about nutrition, which has certainly been an eye opener when reviewing my own diet.

I have been training with Max for only 3 months and I have already seen a difference in my overall health. I have more energy and am gaining strength in my upper body, legs and back. I generally just feel better all over! I never knew what exercises would best benefit me, but with Max's instruction, I am always challenged yet I am never pressed to do any task that I am unable to do - he works within my capability to obtain positive results. It's a win-win for me!

I was talking to Max about a year ago, describing that I was in a bit of a rut and wanted to get into better shape. He indicated that he was affiliated with a program that he thought could help. That program was Pro Coach. He explained that I would be receiving daily lessons covering a variety of topics to improve overall wellness and that we would have weekly phone calls to review progress. I told him I would give it a try. Max’s response was that if I really wanted change, I needed to fully commit and complete all aspects of the program. I did and a year later I have lost over 15 pounds and I feel better than ever. In full disclosure, Max is my son, and I really appreciate how he pushed me during the entire experience. He has a very positive demeanor that encourages you to achieve any goals you set.

I have worked with Max for almost a year. I have had a great experience, and great results. His passion for long term health and nutrition is evident with each session. Max is very encouraging, but also knows how to push effectively without being overbearing. He is generally very flexible, and able to work with schedules. I highly recommend working with Max, and experiencing the positive experience I have. Donald F.

You are just getting started and you are on a solid path of growth that can take you anywhere you want. I can't wait to see what you are capable of!
