I joined Max Challenge at the start of July, and I can honestly say I’m now the healthiest version of myself than I’ve ever been ! I genuinely look forward to every class. The variety keeps things exciting, and the instructors are so supportive. Mike, Tracey and all of the Max instructors at Howell are fantastic; they motivate you, offer personalized tips, and make every session feel both tough and rewarding. The nutrition plan is also an incredible guide to help build healthier eating habits, and it’s really helped me make lasting changes to my lifestyle. I can't recommend Max Challenge enough — it’s been a game-changer for me!

It's the only gym where you look forward to going to class. The owners, teachers, and your fellow gym mates all support you. You feel so welcomed there and you work at your own pace without judgement. The best part if all is that you can see changes right away, you have more energy, feel better, loose weight, and tone up. Why not try it for yourself?

The Max Challenge of Howell has a team of dedicated instructors who bring on the challenge every class! The instructors are accommodating to all members and their individual abilities. As a new member, I was not sure how I’d fit in. The instructors are helpful, engaging, and fun! Each class has men and women participating who encourage other members to do their personal best. It’s an exciting and encouraging environment. Howell has a great team!

Minus my most recent five year sedentary, depressive state of mind, I have worked out most of my life at various gyms. However, the MAX Challenge is by far the best workout program ever. You will see transformative results both physically, and mentally! The owners (Tracey and Mike) as well as the trainers, and the people that I have met in class, could not be any more helpful, caring, and welcoming. For anyone who is feeling ambivalent (as I was) about trying this program, do yourself a huge favor and give it a try. It really does work. The MAX Challenge works!
Period!!

I couldn't possibly list all of the things I love about THE MAX Challenge of Howell, but I can tell you that at the very top of that list would be the people. Mike & Tracey are the most amazing humans on the earth and the trainers are also top notch. The entire staff sincerely cares about each of the members and are sensitive to each and everyone's personal story. I've also made great friends that I look forward to working out with every day. Danielle's classes leave you feeling like you can conquer the world and her genuinely beautiful heart is 100% invested in the success of each member who attends her classes. THE MAX Challenge of Howell has changed my life and the classes are the absolute best 45 minutes of my days.

Back in December my niece, who belonged to the Max Challenge asked me to try an exercise class with her. I was overweight, smoked and totally stressed out. I tried 2 classes and decided to join for the 10 week challenge. I quit smoking 1/4/23 and started 1/9/23. I could barely breathe, lift 2.5lb weights and do a plank for 20 seconds! Little by little I was learning the exercises and things started to get easier (though I still learn new things with each week). I am still going strong after 4 months. I’m re-energized, my clothes fit better and I’m having fun. Winning a challenge doesn’t define me-feeling good about myself does. That’s what the Max does for me. I have always felt comfortable and accepted and for that I thank Mike, Tracey and all the trainers. I can’t wait to see what changes I will keep experiencing!

This is the best place I have ever gone to work out. If your hesitant about joining because you don't like gyms or working out in front of people take just one class and you will change your mind. The instructors will show you how to modify so you still get results. You will be surprised how far you can go. I have found this to be one of the most positive experiences of my life.

Everyone at the Max is so supportive. I was anxious to start but so happy I did. I met some great people. It’s not a cult, it’s a family. Also, I could never in my mind imagine the owner yelling at anyone. If he did maybe you deserved it😂

Max is an amazing place, it's a not a gym, there are plenty of those that just take your money and then don't care after that, with Max, you become a friend and then family.

I’ve gone to countless gyms in the past and felt awkward to where I wasted money on the memberships because I felt weird there. I didn’t know what I was doing, no guidance and had people look at my funny even when I was on the treadmill.
I have been at the Max in Howell for two years now. Not only do I feel more confident, I see results that I never thought I would see. I am more motivated to do things and I have a second family.
This is the only gym I know that offers classes, a personal training environment and helps with nutrition for the best results. I totally recommend this program to anyone who’s looking to make a change in lifestyle. They offer free trial classes so you can see what it’s all about too! Hope to see you on the mats!

The absolute worst environment if your lucky you will be part of the "Click" if not your sitting on the sidelines looking in. The instructors are not consistent in correcting for . The owner actually yelled at me on the phone when I told him there was an issue. Save your $100 a month so many better places

I started back to the max this challenge. Due to summer traffic and my work schedule I’ve been going to Howell instead of the max I used to go to in Berkeley, which is an amazing location if you ever get the chance to visit! I’ve been to 3 different locations before and Howell was the first one I actually felt welcome and at home. At other locations I wasn’t acknowledged or talked to the entire class. When I went to Howell for the first time as soon as Katie the instructor walked in she came right up to me while I was putting my sneakers on and asked my name. During the class she cheered me on and made me feel so comfortable. The members of this max are also very friendly. We had 2 people at a station for cardio Wednesday and my partner cheered me on the entire time and helped me keep pushing even when I wanted to stop. I will definitely be going to this max for the summer on my way home each day.
