THE MAX Challenge

Love the MAX, many people ask me to share a picture because they cannot believe I lost 100 lbs. And I am not sure when it really happened that I felt I was making distinct changes. Physically and mentally it was happening simultaneously, but I always had people at the Max always around me that kept me there and motivated me. Some happy and some sad (when good friends would leave) but pushed through. I think the key physical transformation for me was going through the winter months at 5am during frigid cold, icy streets, and the Max was still open. Sometimes it was just me and the instructor and it was really uncomfortable. But I stuck it out and the 5am club was born and my classmates became my soulmates. We became good friends. Others in the program challenged me to start doing 5k’s. We started together from the opening of the Max. They really encouraged me and i love them deearly. As the program grew exponentially, People would grow. And as we grew we now have so many awesome and amazing people, from cops, to chefs, to lawyers, to pta moms, to travel agents, to funerals, to dentists, and teachers, sometimes it is really hard for me to remember every one’s name but I love you! Or when we go out for a celebration and everyone is dressed up and has make up and you hardly recognize them. Everyone looks amazing!!! And we have so much fun. So emotionally this program has become my life… new babies, kids growing up, marriages, happy and sad, the Max has become my family. It offers me hope, it supports me when I am down, and it supports me when I am up. People I have started with have become instructors, making learning leaders… fantastic and motivational instructors whom challenge us every day — and motivate us that we can always do better. Thank you for giving me my life back. New friends welcome to our Max Family! Be careful not to drink from the cool aid…) THIS IS HOW I FEEL ABOUT THE MAX Jennifer Baeli — love you girl!

I joined the Max three months ago (right before Thanksgiving) and I am slightly addicted! The max has changed my life! I went from being a «blessed skinny girl» eating what I wanted and spending weekends on the couch, to now working out 5 days a week and being extremely health conscious. Once I hit the ripe age of 25, my metabolism drastically slowed, and I soon realized eating whatever I wanted and spending weekends on the couch wasn’t going to work out for my figure anyone. I hit a weight I wasn’t happy with, and I no longer could suck in my tummy. I promised myself once I hit a certain weight that I HAD to do something. That day came and that’s when I landed up at the max. Now three months later, I have lost many inches, am down a couple sizes, and I am now happy to look back at the person in the mirror.
