Testimonials
“For a first time experience having a trainer, Max has definitely been the guy who’s made my experience more than worthwhile. I struggled going to the gym consistently throughout my life even though I was fairly active in sports. Just the thought of going to a gym to lift always seemed boring and monotonous of just doing the motions. Yet, having Max who understands the routines, how to change the days to still make them new and exciting, all the while being pushed to excel and succeed in new PR goals, strength gain and muscle definition, I found a new enjoyment of how my body feels when working out.
Max makes every session sensible. He’s down to earth and easy to connect to, while having the professional prowess to put a fire in you. All I can say is, no matter what you do, Max will make sure you have a fantastic workout, no matter the circumstances.
Overall score: 10/10 (definitely recommend)

“During Covid I was having a hard time finding motivation to workout. This was a particularly challenging time as I was dealing with a knee injury and had a wedding coming up. When I started working with Max, he helped me reframe what my goals were and designed a workout regime that was safe and challenging, but was also enjoyable and satisfying to complete. Max is a very approachable and attentive coach. He knows when to push me and is quick to offer modifications as needed. Max will help you take the steps to where you want to go and always celebrate your progress with you!”

“I was struggling with hip pain, muscle imbalance, and loss of strength. I am so glad I signed on with Max. He is knowledgeable and a great listener. I appreciate the care he takes to keep me safe. Now, since working with him, my body feels better and I have the unanticipated benefits of more energy and an improvement in my mood. Thank you, Max!”

He’s attentive, clear, passionate, and will support you however you need on every step of your journey. I’ve worked with him for a month, and plan to for many more. Come to your sessions ready to work!”

“I have measurably increased my muscle mass and decreased body mass index since I began working out with Max twice a week. Before that I was working out an equivalent amount of time, but not seeing any such dramatic results. Max provides me with a workout structure that begins with a warm up, ends with stretching and in between has two or three circuits that are never the same twice and which are tailored for each client. Although the workouts are challenging, I have never felt sore the next day, thanks mostly to a well crafted set of stretches at the end of each workout. One unexpected outcome of working on my fitness with Max has been a boost in mood and mental clarity. Max has a friendly, gentle manner, is tremendously supportive and really cares about his clients. I highly recommend Max to assist you in achieving your fitness and wellness goals.”

“When I started with Max I thought I was relatively fit as a runner and a man playing hockey with his adult son. Max challenged me and after a year, not only was I stronger, faster and healthier, he taught me how to take care of myself and listen to my body, and my mind better.”

“Max has been an amazing coach. His authentic, positive energy is infectious. He truly listens to your goals, and challenges and motivates you to find your best by consistently changing up your program, helping you to find your new edge.
His passion for fitness and helping people is obvious. I would recommend him to anyone in a heartbeat!”

“My wife and I have been working with Max for almost a year now and we both have had a great increase in energy, strength, general activity level, and positive outlook (a must for us seniors). We more than look forward to it all, and all that was slothful before is transforming. There is no question that Max is a more-than-qualified wellness professional and our kinesics expert.”

"Szredni will put you to work off the bat, getting you fired up and moving efficiently, and understand your limits while attaining your goals. I like that he practices what he preaches and has training down to a science. Thanks man!"

"I have been working with Max now for years and the results have been terrific. I always look forward to my next session with him, because it’s all about getting better and trying to win the day. I wouldn't let it be anyone else help me reach my goals for strength and in hockey. He changes up my program to maximize reaching and achieving certain goals, and the energy he brings to the table is unmatched.”
