MAX Fitness & Wellness Center of Bay Ridge — Local services in New York

Joining The Max Challenge in March and becoming a part of the amazing Accountability Group has been one of the best decisions I've made. I was looking for a gym that wasn't too far from me and that had hours that could accommodate my schedule and I definitely found that with The Max.

From the moment I walked into the gym, I was welcomed with such kindness, smiles and support from everyone. Deb, Gary, Vanessa and Kathy are such awesome and caring instructors. I love how they cater to all fitness levels by showing you variations of the exercises so everyone can do them. I love their energy and enthusiasm, and I look forward to making it to the 6:05 am class which I never thought I would say. They also help you with how to tackle your nutrition and meal planning. They really try to provide you with all the tools you need to succeed.

I'm so grateful for joining the Accountability Group. It's not just about accountability for the workouts, but also holistic - a place to share about life and how everything has an impact on how we show up in this life. The members of the group are always so encouraging and supportive and make you feel that you are not alone.

I challenge myself both physically and mentally too. I recently participated in the Rugged Maniacs which I always thought that "I wasn't capable of doing because it would be too hard." The Max taught me to switch that mindset and that I would never know if I didn't try and that's exactly what I did. I'm already looking forward to joining the team again next year!

I can say that The Max Challenge has had such a positive impact on me - mind, body, soul and spirit and I am forever grateful. THANK YOU!!!!

I've been attending The MAX Challenge in Bay Ridge for six weeks now, and I couldn't be happier with my experience. The staff here is incredibly supportive; they know your name and even remember your birthday, creating a warm and personal atmosphere.

One of the standout features for me is the flexibility of their class schedules. As a nurse working night shifts, I was worried about finding a gym that could accommodate my irregular hours. The MAX Challenge offers classes at different times of the day, making it possible for me to attend no matter my work schedule.

What sets The MAX Challenge apart is the sense of community they foster. It truly feels like a family here. They follow up on your progress, provide nutritional programs, and organize activities for charities in the community, emphasizing their commitment to not only personal fitness but also giving back.

I initially came in with the goal of losing weight, but I've gained so much more than that. The training and discipline I've acquired have been invaluable. The MAX Challenge doesn't push or try to sell you anything; they genuinely care about your well-being and progress.

In my time here, I've not only shed pounds but also gained muscle, confidence, and a newfound sense of belonging within this supportive community. If you're looking for a gym that goes beyond fitness, The MAX Challenge in Bay Ridge is the...

Started writing a review earlier but life interrupted it! Think my half review might be out here somewhere… I will continue my review saying that I suffer from neuropathy! My feet kill me! Since starting The Max, I can say I feel so much more hopeful! Neuropathy can be debilitating and depressing! The best way to fight both of those things is with exercise and consistent movement! I was never a group exercise person before! Never imagined I would look forward to exercising! Never imagined I would love kickboxing! After working out for a little over a year, I can’t tell you how powerful I feel! My arms and shoulders are the strongest they’ve ever been! My legs are very strong now! My feet, despite chronic pain, thank me every day for keeping them moving! I gifted myself a one year membership for my 60th birthday! I can say without hesitation, this was the best thing I have ever done for myself! By my 61st birthday, I know I will be in the best shape of my life, mentally, physically and emotionally! I am stronger than I ever imagined! Deb and Gary own The Max! They love what they do! The Max is like Cheers as a gym! Everybody knows and supports each other because that’s the environment the owners cultivated! I could go on for an hour, you get the idea! Stop wasting time, come experience it for yourself! My one regret is not joining...
