Max is a certified personal trainer who specializes in functional movement. He holds a bachelor’s degree in Kinesiology along with a growing variety of certifications. Max struggled with his weight throughout his childhood into early adulthood. He uses this experience to help others achieve their goals in body composition. His time in the military produced wear and tear on his body that eventually manifested into pain. Years of learning and performing movement-based corrective and rehabilitative exercises led to his recovery and yielded knowledge of building strength while maintaining function. Max believes in having a learner mindset – being open to new information is key to creating new connections and progressive knowledge.

“Exercise should not be a chore we do a certain number of times per week, but should be incorporated into our lives the same as working, sleeping, eating, etc. Movement can be performed in many environments once you learn how to move your body well.”
