What People Are Saying about MAX

What Students & Graduates are Saying

Neill Share: MAX Graduate

Hi my name is Neill Share, a 29 year old south African now living in Auckland, New Zealand. I graduated MAX college in 2007 and lets just say since then I have had the best time of my life getting up every morning and changing the world! Now I know you sitting there going yeah right changing the world what you on about mate, well I am here to tell you that what we do as fitness professionals really does change the world and that the fundamentals and principals taught at MAX is the best way to implement change in everyone we come into contact with.

Time for a little story people! Prior to enrolling with MAX I was already working in a gym for a few years as a gym instructor. I was already qualified with a diploma in Sport and Rec but was basically just cruising day in day out and thought of my job as just a place where I can get paid, work out for free and watch the latest sports highlights playing on the TV’s all day! Nice right and believe me it never crossed my mind that hey maybe the people in the gym actually needed my help and support to get them through what ever challenges they were going through at that time. Now I am going to be honest the only reason I enrolled with MAX cause I was bored and had a friend that had gone through the course and would not stop raving on about how fantastic MAX was and that I should check it out etc. So I did and the rest is history…from that first day I walked into the doors at MAX my life was instantly changed. Now I’m not going to spoil the surprise of what you going to experience over the up and coming months but I will give you a tip “get in, hold on and enjoy the ride to becoming a fitness professional or as I refer to
myself as a life changer!” MAX taught me that we have to have genuine care for all people we train and that you can only have that by having a true passion for helping people break the chains of being unfit. If you stick to this principle you will truly change the world, trust me.

So what have I achieved since graduating from MAX? Well besides all the people I have sculpted into fitness freaks of nature I have also achieved a lot in my employment
career. I have worked with the Millennium Institute of Sport and Health firstly as an instructor, then gym manager, then health and fitness service director. More recently I have worked with Harbour Fitness as their retention manager, sales manager and their mega gym branch manager. I have recently taking up a position with City Fitness in
Newmarket and also help run a studio in Takapuna on the north shore. Make no mistake I the only reason I have achieved all of this is because of the principals taught to me at MAX, oh and my boyish good looks

So in ending I would truly like to congratulate you if you have enrolled with MAX, enjoy it, embrace it and absorb all the knowledge you need because make no mistake fellow fitness professionals, ITS A WAR TO SAVE LIVES AND WE WILL WIN!

ROCK ON Neill Share
a MAX FITNESS PROFESSIONAL Hey Rowie. Before I was accepted into the program I watched one of the Max promo videos and one of the graduates said that the course was a life changing event for her. At the time that seemed to be a bold claim but now I “get it”. Both you and Kerry continually inspire us to become better people in every area of our life. I feel that each day I am becoming a better person and my self confidence is growing daily.

I have taken the KMan’s advice and purchased How to Win Friends & Influence People from Audible. I have gotten about half way through whilst at work in my truck the other day. Although the book is old there are some timeless lessons to be learned from it. I plan on adding the other audio-book suggestions as the budget allows. Once again, a big, big thankyou for making this possible for me!

I am forever telling people about yourselves and MAX. It’s quite unbelievable that I have some of the most successful people in this country as my mentors. I will be forever grateful.

Brett Kruger-MAX AT HOME Learning Student

Rowena and Kerry, I simply wanted to say thanks for all your encouragement and fabulous information. I am so pleased to be able to tell you that my hours at the Bra shop will decrease from next week, so I’ll have a brain that can take in the learning and will at last be able to make progress in my study. I found the requirements for the final evaluation really helpful as it gives me something to aim for. Thanks for your continued support, and it won’t be too long before I too can help change the health and fitness of the world!
Kind regards Keryn soon to be Graduated MAX student

Hi Rowie…
I wanted to thank you for everything you guys did for us at MAX, you guys have actually created a community of fantastic personal trainers who are now in the industry leading the way as the next generation of super successful business owners who will drive the next billion dollar industry. Every person we meet from MAX has a mindset that has been crafted on success and the values that we poses mean that clients Australia wide are receiving the best service possible and each one of us would go out of our way to help each other. Companies such as Tomfit, Fitminds and most especially Prestige Lifestyles are not our competition but in fact our Mastermind group that will help propel us all to the very top.

I love going to work every day. Yes work. I work very hard, no person who reached their goals did it without hard work. So many people say, I hate my work, chances are they actually hate their job, the “work” is the stuff we do to make ourselves better, stronger, more successful, prosperous, without work you won’t achieve. This business has meant that when I “go to work” I am able to put 100% of my time into helping other people achieve their goals, from my clients to our trainers. I am so grateful for this company and what it is allowing us to do in the community.UBody is helping ACT for Kids to raise $150,000 this year; this will help them pay for a new trauma psychologist for many children in need. ACT for Kids is an absolutely fabulous organisation helping children all over Australia who have been abused and we are so very proud to be affiliated with them. Their staff are fantastic and we are creating a very strong bond with ACT. If you can help in any way please call ACT on 07 3857 8866 or head to http://www.actforkids.com.au/help.php to donate.

UBody is not just a personal training studio, we are a community, dedicated to helping our clients achieve their dreams, helping our trainers to reach the goals they dream of every night and helping those who help people in desperate need. I am so proud of this company, so proud of how we are growing and cannot wait to be referred to as a global powerhouse in personal training, nutrition and healthy lifestyle management.

Hey Glowie Rowie!! Just a very quick note to let you know that I am officially a MAX International Fitness Professional!! Time for a new start! Tomfit PT Studios here I come. I have an initial consult booked then I’m training my first official client! Wooohooooooo!!!

I am so excited, I can barely keep still. I just wanted to say thank you. Thank you for all the awesome advice you shared with me and all time you spent with me! Thank you so so, so much!! Much Love Bridge Auckland MAX International Fitness Professional xx

Dear Rowie, Wooohooo…. My first MAX Club ever, I cannot wait!! I am loving my course In Brisbane with Sparkly, B Huge Ben and all the exciting people I am meeting there each time I go. For me that is not often enough. I also cannot wait to be out there helping all the people of the world be healthy, fit and as excited as I am every day. I wake up in search of the most amazing things I can find to achieve and help all those around me to achieve in the day ahead.

Thank you again for the amazing opportunity to help you change the Health and Fitness Industry. Because through your course I will be the best International Fitness professional. And how exciting is that!!!!! From Janine Viner

Thank you so much Rowie & K-Man for your letters in the mail as well as the emails over the last couple of days. Both David & I have learnt so much at MAX that we look forward to our classes & talk about the MAX principles everyday! So much so, that our motto at the moment is: ‘I will never injure my client!’ We’ve been practicing on each other & giving each other feedback to prepare ourselves for our evaluations/assessments. Being involved with MAX & the journey we’re on so far has been the absolute highlight of my year! I have workmates & old work colleagues from previous jobs also asking me to help them on their journey to regain their life again as they can see how well I’m doing especially with my studies at MAX & the positivity I seem to “rain” on them – they seem to say, ‘I wanna piece of that!’ Haha…I found myself saying the same thing when I came across the MAX website for the very first time! We look forward to coming to MAX Club tonight to see Helen Robertson talk about Nutrition; we look forward to seeing you there. I just wanted to send you a quick note before I head off to my “job” to let you know how appreciative we are of you both & what you are doing for our Fitness Industry. Love Ressie & David: MAX International Fitness Professionals xx

Hi Rowie, Just letting you know I will be attending the Brissy Max Club
really enjoyed having Tommy over to take our class. He is so young, yet so successful already and you must be very proud to have him on your team. He is very “WOW” as are all of the others in your team I have had the pleasure of meeting so far. It was great to see B Huge back this week, always enjoy my classes, he makes learning very easy and enjoyable.
Thanks for starting this college Rowie; it’s the best place I have been in years!!!
Hi Rowie,
My name is Brad Henderson and I would like to send my thanks to you and the team at Max College for accepting me into your Brisbane program. I am very excited about my future in the Fitness Industry, and am grateful to kick-start it with a MAX experience.
So again thankyou, Brad

Hi Kman and Rowie, I can hardly see what I am typing because I have tears literally streaming down my face right now, I don’t think I have ever been so excited in my entire life!!!
Thank you so very, very much for allowing me to graduate. I had been busting my boiler to try and make this graduation, but thought I had left my run a bit too late. WOW, WOW,WOW. I can’t believe it.The journey so far has been a remarkable one. I have loved all the sessions learning about the body and the personal training itself (which is what I expected to learn), but what I didn’t count on learning was all of these other wonderful tools I have picked up along the way to help make my life simply ‘better’. My whole outlook is more positive and my life is more organised. Better communication skills and positivity has had an impact on every aspect of my life. What I learned in the business section of the course has been superb and I have felt well-equipped to set up my home studio. This has been invaluable and I wouldn’t have had these skills had I chosen to do any other diploma.

The Audio/visual sessions for home study are superb. Their content and your presentation of all of the information is enjoyable and delivered in such a way that it is easy to understand. I will continue to listen to them to make sure I stay current (I’m sure each time I listen I will pick up something new!!) Best of all, I now have a career I love and it is such a delight working with some wonderful ladies and feeling like I am making such a positive difference in their lives. It is the coolest thing!!! e were given a very special bottle of Cristal champagne a while back and tonight I will savour every moment of it knowing I have really achieved something special.
Thank you . Thank you. Thank you. See you at graduation
Michelle

Dear Rowena,
I know this may seem out of the blue since I haven’t seen you or spoken to you since I graduated but I want this letter to say THANK YOU. It’s not a everyday ‘thank you’ that you say on a daily basis but for me it’s a deep heartfelt thank you and let me tell you why. Before I came to your college things were different. Although I had different Coaches during my studies, my life changed when I met you and Kerry. I remember once sitting in class waiting for my lecturer to come and start the class and you walked in as well as Kerry. I was busting to go to the bathroom but the minute you opened your mouth you captured me with the words you said that I will never forget, I ended up sitting in the class for an hour not wanting to go to the bathroom because I was afraid I would miss something. Like it was a good movie! So I didn’t, I waited it out. What you gave me was chance and opportunity and I will forever be grateful of this. You see my whole life in school I was always an ‘average’ student never being awarded no matter how hard I tried. Because of 1 teacher in particular at school I carried this pain around for years even after grade 12 always thinking I was never good enough no matter what. Then one day I was having an average day and you called me, you said you wanted to award me for my hard work and extra effort!! You took my breath away! From that moment my life changed for the better, someone believed in me so much more than I could have ever believed in myself and it felt amazing. To hear you say, I appreciate you and you work so hard, I want to award you at Graduation-and you called me personally!! I have thought about this many times and how from that moment how it felt when I saw the look in my parents eyes when I told them the news and then getting an award at the graduation my parents were speechless and so proud, they didn’t have to say anything but the look on their face was not shock, but a look of proud and happiness. Something that I was seeking ever since my teacher made me feel so average in high school. Thank you for changing my life for the better, I will never forget you guys! Ever! Now I run a successful business and about to venture into 2 more with a drive for life. I recently received an email from someone I spent time with helping get their life on track and it made me think how important it is to thank the people who literally change your life. THANK YOU Marisa Street…marisa@bodyphat.com.au

Dane Kent: I want to say thanks for your brilliant course at Max Fitness in Auckland.
One of the things you teach at MAX is to write down our goals for personal training. My goal was to be overseas working fulltime as a personal trainer within 6 months in a dream role. Well it was almost 6 months to the day after I had written this that I was on an all expenses paid for flight to the country of Qatar to be the fulltime trainer of one of the Royal Sheikhs there. Since then I have travelled the world with the Sheikh to such places as Egypt, Beirut, Switzerland, New York, Washington DC, Beverly Hills to name a few! It has been a truly amazing experience. Recently I have expanded my role in Qatar to take on other people and now have 22 clients!! I still train the Sheikh who acts as my sponsor, but have the joy of training a wide variety of other interesting people. I’m working hard and having the time of my life along with it. In fact I wouldn’t describe it as work as I enjoy every minute of it! It brings me such joy helping people transform their lives for the better
I hope all is going fabulously well back in Auckland and will be in for a visit next time I am back home.
Yours in Fitness, Dane Kent

“My son Ben absolutely loves being part of the MAX school as does James. As parents looking on we are thrilled by their excitement and enthusiasm about making a positive change to both their health & fitness and of those they come in contact with. We Also Greatly Appreciate all the support and encouragement from everyone at MAX. The happiness and feel good atmosphere generated from everyone connected to MAX is certainly contagious and both my husband and I feel blessed that our boys are part of it. It amazes us as we read each MAX Newsletter how the messages about manners, etiquette, respect for self/others etc. echo what we have been teaching our boys all their lives. It was one of the many things that attracted us to the MAX college and I feel the boys are more enriched due to their association with MAX.
You also have a WOW week and I can’t wait to meet you at Graduation.
Kindest regards
Bronwyn Walker (James and Ben’s Mum).

Anna: MAX International Fitness Professional…
A mighty merry Terrific morning to you Rowie,The last 7 days have been very momentous to me and I would like to share that with you. On 6 November last year I joined the gym and began exercising for the first time in 9 years. On 14 December last year I had some blood tests that revealed that I had an impaired glucose tolerance and I was diagnosed as pre-diabetic. Wednesday last week (9 June) I hit a milestone of 10kg weight loss. Friday last week (11 June) I had some follow up blood glucose tests and yesterday I got the results:

   HbA1c – 39 mmol (down from 49 in Dec – healthy range is 20 – 42)
             – 5.7% (down from 6.6% – healthy range is 4 – 6)
             Glucose – 5 (down from 6.6)
Which all means that I am no longer in the diabetes danger zone and am a fit, strong and healthy 31 year old! And so very proud of being so.My own health and fitness achievements have me even more motivated than ever to inspire and help others to positively change their lifestyles, and can’t wait to get out there and start doing it! Rowie, thank you so very much for the Max College, and for creating a family of like minded enthusiasts. Thank you for sharing your passion with us and for arming us with the tools that we need, to share our passion with the world, and to make the world a healthier, fitter and stronger place to be.

P.S. Talks with Steve at Fit Kids is going great. I will be setting up a charity called Obesity Prevention NZ which will fund Fit Kids and other initiatives to bring the likes of obesity and type 2 diabetes to the forefront of peoples minds so that we can start attacking and preventing it. Steve is organising an official interview via conference call with his partner Levi, and then from there we sort contracts and paperwork. I am so very excited about it all!

Stephanie: Newly Accepted MAX International Fitness Professional…
I am so happy with my decision to study with MAX. The course will not only get me into my dream career, but the philosophy will enable me to rise above the conflict in my current workplace and thrive in my knowledge that I am growing personally from the experience. Don’t you just feel so empowered when you you know your decisions, that are both calculated and instinctive, are bang on for you!
Thanks again. Here’s to a new day. I must get to bed so it comes sooner!
Steph Current MAX International Fitness Professional…
Thankyou so much for Friday night at the Executive club talk, I was really privileged to have gone and listened to you, you also gave me a challenge in my life which is the fact that I have always sensed that I would love to reach people through “chatting” but always felt it impossible, there are no excuses now, so look out world here I come! Could you please send a huge thankyou to Paul Richards for Thursday night, he was brilliant at imparting such commonsense life skills in such a amusing and light hearted way, I will never look at advertising in a boring practical way again after seeing his poster! I was crying in the end because I laughed so much…
Sooper Sue, amazing, amazing lady, she is beautiful inside and out, if everyone had someone as wonderful as her in their business they will never lose customers!
Tommy is fantasic:-) I never want to miss a single class because he is so good at explaining everything and I love his sense of humour, I’m 100% present in his classes because I don’t want to miss a single word he says, it is always relevant and makes so much sense when he explains things. Thank You so much Tommy!
Having Dytie this last week at college was a really WOW experience, Investing in his Right Cross class was the smartest money Ive spent, (after investing in Max of course!), he has this gift of making everyone feel special and so much fun to be around, I cant wait to do my boxing sessions with my client now. Thanks Dytie, I loved every minute of college this week:-)
K-man, after Sundays class on the perfect P.T session, the next day when I trained my client and I put into practise some of the knowledge you gave us, he said it was the best workout yet, he left feeling really, really happy, thank you so much!! My number one goal for my business, is to give every person who I train, the feeling that it was the best time of their whole week and that they couldn’t get a better workout no matter where they went, so after just one class with you I improved 100%! I cant wait to see how much better I can be after another class!
Thankyou so much for everything
Have a fabulous day

Hi Rowie!
I finished my classes today and was proud to get up in front of everyone and speak of my time at MAX and what I have taken away from this course. I look forward to putting in place what I have learnt here, both in relation to personal training but also in life in general. Thank you so much for the gifts, totally unnecessary but much appreciated! You are doing a fantastic job of raising the standard of the fitness industry and society in general and I look forward to applying everything with my clients.
Thank you!

Hey Glowy Rowie, Going to Max College is the best thing that I could have ever done.I don’t think I would have met anyone else in the world like The MAX Team. Every time I am lost I see something from Max and It puts me back on my feet.And can I please attend the Executive & Trainers clubs. Thankyou all so much,
Harley Hey there, Rowie! Wish I could attend the MAX Club meeting with G-Spot, but that would mean leaving my studio here in Canada and having a lot of unhappy clients screaming my name! lol! How the heck have you been? Hope you remember your favourite Canadian student! It’s been nearly 2 years now since I left Australia, and I miss you guys more every day! I just want to say thanks again for such a wonderful experience and let you know how successful I have been as a trainer and a studio owner since I returned home! I owe most of that to you and the entire crew! You guys run a very successful operation, and I can’t thank you enough!

Tell G-Spot, K-Man and B-Huge I say hello and hope everyone is doing well! You guys are awesome and I hope one day soon to cross paths again! Just so you know I have been working hard and putting to practice everything I was taught, check out my company’s website. www.mefirstfitness.com<– Just a sample of how things are going for me!

I am so happy that I I have completed my final Diploma evaluation and and now I’m excited to get started. Already, I have 3 clients and a awesome new challenge, working with Boot Camp Guru, doing 3 sessions a week, training yummy mummies in the Burleigh area. I have also taken to heart the lessons of charity and set up a program through my existing business, to sponsor a small school in Ghana, West Africa. Most importantly, I feel I am starting a new phase of my life, with a shiny new attitude and renewed confidence. Those around me all feel the difference in my energy. My kids are happier. I am bouncing. I am grateful for the “YOU” that you put into your program. You have a gift and I can see you are being blessed by using it to help others. You are a example I believe…not because of what you have accomplished, but because you use your talents to inspire others, and then the blessings come. That, for me is the greatest lesson of Max and I will now use it everyday in my life.
Thank you again and I look forward to seeing you at Graduation.

only be the Max team being so vocal & supportive.You were by far the best supporters around the entire event & I was soooo proud to be associated with you.Running past the team was the most enjoyable part of the run. Thank you all so much,
Pete Massive

Shane Gregory from Corporate Punch Professional Fitness The reason I am writing this email is because I would like to thank you for accepting me into the MAX College and how much it has changed my life and the doors it has opened for me. I am now currently training 18 clients, I have my own studio in QLD and I am NOT working as a carpenter any more-I am helping people become healthy, fit and strong everyday!! I have embodied what MAX teaches; I completed the Diploma Program in August 2009, I got off my bum set up my own buisness, got my own clients and am in the process of systemising my business to be able to franchise in the next 12 months. And most of all I I would love you to come down and do a session with me so that you can see that hard work, determination, being professional and the right education can take anyone anywhere.

If you would like to chat to any/all of the people on this page, please contact Rowie behappyness@maxfitnesscollege.com, for their contact details…

Hey Rowie,I would just like to say thank you for everything you and the MAX team do. Especially B-Huge. He has helped me Sooo much and I am Soooooo grateful. We are now in the business side of things and designing our business. Huge makes the classes so much fun and he has not only helped me develop my business but also given me a title. I have missed quite a few sessions so I won’t be finishing when I’m meant to but that’s ok by me because that means hanging out with the MAX team for longer! I wish school was like this. I never wanted to go to school and I always look forward to coming into class at MAX.
Thanks again for everything!!!!!!!!!!!

HI ROWENA!
Thank you for being so helpful and understanding! YOU and ALL the people at MAX have changed my life!!! It’s only been a week, and I have learned more in a week, than I have in 21years!! Tommy is awesome! I can’t say enough about him! I wish I could be at MAX College 24/7! I LOVE IT!
Thankyou for making MAX happen
Daniel.

WOW, Rowena…I do love you and your enthusiasm and your positivity! Your MAXnewz email came at EXACTLY the right moment. Hello, hello, hello from Washington DC!!!
At the moment, I am completing a contract at the Walter Reed Army Medical Center, which ends September 30, 2009. This will be my last position as an anesthesiologist, and despite the emotional difficulty I face while working there, I must admit that I am VERY PROUD to be providing care for the wounded warriors returning with devastating injuries from Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan. You wouldn’t believe the things I have seen…. it is so sad….I wish there was a way for me to share my experience with the American public. I think they need to know. I have been keeping a journal of my time working there in the operating room, and I will write a book.

I so look forward to seeing you and speaking with you again about the possibility of contributing to the MAX Fitness Team! At no other time in my life have I felt so fabulous as in the company of the outstanding environment you and Kerry create for yourselves and all those around you!
You are a constant inspiration!
Dr. Shari Hall Graduated student

Hi Rowie & Max Team,
My name is Ming Mafoe and I’m one of the students in Auckland (Albany) College completing a part time evening class. The reason for my email is I’m really enjoying the course and ready to hit the Fitness Industry with all guns blazing.But just like to say, it’s been a breath of fresh air and awesome having Ben, Dytie, Rach and at present Tommie. I’ve learnt so much from these guys in the short time they have been here. The knowledge and the enthusiasm that these guys teach has helped me to enjoy the Diploma Program & understand the Anatomy a whole lot better & actually using the terminology at work with confidence. (MC @ Club Physical Gym)
I’m really looking forward to graduation day and start my life time career in the fitness industry. And hopefully 1 day down the track be on the Maxx team.
But this is just a quick email to say Thank You and you guys are Legends in helping me & others to pursue the best job in the world.
Much Luv,
Ming Mafoe.

Hey Rowie,

Today was awesome at the MAX school. It my birthday and your team gave me a cake with candles, a happy birthday song and a hug from a beautiful lady.I grew up in poverty and on most of my birthdays I never had a cake with candles…All I had was my faith and the love of my family. My grandparents were religious and played a huge part in my up bringing .My grandpa unfortunately died of a heart attack at age 68 when i was only 11 hence the reason why I am in the fitness industry. Meeting Mutti today was a blessing. When she spoke of her up bringing and the challenges she faced in life is inspiring. She reminded me so much of my grandparents and it has made me more determined to succeed. Mutti has totally added much value to the college and the reasons I would like to go from a MAX student to a MAX Team Player are…
I believe I can learn so much from you all, I’m passionate about what I do, I’m driven to succeed, I’m willing to go the extra mile and beyond, I’m a little shy at first but once warmed up i can be a real funny team player, I strive for excellence in all that I do
Wil: Brissy International MAX student

Hello Rowie,

Business is very exciting, the word of mouth for my business is sky rocketing, I couldn’t be happier. Just last week, signed up 3 new personal training clients added to my existing, that I have maintained for one year now, and what an exciting year it was, growth, adventure, constantly learning, improving my skills and knowledge.. My fitness personal training and group sessions are growing. My new venture is a link up with a salsa/Latin dancer to expand my client number for groups. It’s all go.

Yasmin Steffe

I believe that no other place could produce Personal Trainers and Fitness Professionals with such a high standard of skill and professionalism as MAX. Their fun and innovative teaching methods make learning absolutely enjoyable and unbelievably easy! Thanks to the team at MAX, I have the tools to become successful in my fitness career… I am the proud owner of my own personal training business and my suggestion, “Get into it and enjoy the ride, you will love being a Personal Trainer!”
Paul Russell-Smith

Hi Rowie,
How are you? I hope you’re having an awesome day today. I just wanted to write you a quick email and let you know that I got the position with Steiner Cruises!
I leave at the beginning of August for London to begin my training with them, and will be sailing the world as a MAX Fitness Professional and personal trainer straight after that! I can’t wait, I’m so excited! I will have my career in fitness at sea
Jared (Brisbane MAX Student 2009)

Hi Rowie,
I have 2 cheers I wanted to share with you…
1. The Vision PT Seminar for all the MAX personal trainers was absolutely AWESOME! That was one of the best talks I have been to in my life; mainly because it was about something I am completely passionate about! They were inspirational and I love everything they stand for. No where else would I have been exposed to these guys in a learning environment surrounded by like minded people.
MAX Fitness is fantastic to bring us the opportunity it did tonight and I am sure that I will be one of the people involved in their expansion through QLD!
2. Two weeks ago during Shane Ellis’ talk K-man gave me a well deserved kick up the bum. I was getting around college in a very nice NON suit jacket and K-man asked “Where’s your suit jacket?” I responded that I did not have one and he replied “How did you get into this program?” – That hit home because I was wearing what I wanted to wear and not what the successful people coaching me wear. I went out and bought a new jacket and since then have not stopped getting compliments about it! I don’t know how I lived without it!!!
Thank you K-Man for a kick up the bum to get me thinking, acting and feeling different!
Thanks for listening to my cheers and thank you for the opportunity to positively change the health and fitness of the world and to become a professional personal trainer

Hi Rowie,I hope you’re having an awesome day. I wanted to write to you and say thank you for the great classes I’ve had since I’ve been attending MAX. Just the amount of positivity in the room every day, all day long and seeing Mutti (your 86 year young mum) do her whole weight training session really was awesome!AND thankyou for taking the time to chat about the cruise ship fitness careers, I know it’s what I want to do and I’m determined to get on there as soon as possible, I can’t wait!
Thanks again for yesterday I really enjoyed it!

Hi Rowie,I had a good journey back to the UK after completing the Diploma Program. Since then I have been busy and now have five fitness career offers and have to decide where to go. Two are as a Personal Trainer in a direct employee capacity, the other three positions are for a self employed Personal Trainer where I pay rent, I can charge what I want and pick my own hours. Fitness First has offered me to “play” on the gym floor for 25 hours a week for them and then pay no rent. One of my interviews was with the area manager of Virgin Active his boss is a Director of Virgin – I am so excited about my options. Thank you for making a career in fitness possible for me.

PS. I can assure you I understand the importance of professionalism and I will always represent The MAX International College for Fitness Professionals and your product as a professional personal trainer and in a professional manner.

We have learnt in class…A smart person remembers everything a wise person knows where to find the information.

The Max International College (team) has certainly made the way possible for all its students to be ‘the wise person’. Wow!! There is heart, expertise and wisdom just to name the obvious included on the Disc. The level, content and volume of information provided to us as personal training students for me were definitely a WOW experience. A heartfelt thank you to everyone involved, I am so very grateful and appreciative.

The full time personal training Program has (for me) been a faster pace than aligns with my learning style, i.e. time to digest and embody the information, however due to the parameters, materials and support the College have set and provide, it is not a major stress factor.
Thanks again!

Have a beautiful, love & joy filled day

Hi MAX Team
Since Haloti (my son) has started the Diploma Program at MAX to become a personal trainer, I’ve had to communicate with both you and Rowena and I have been very impressed with how promptly you deal with things.
With my own job I deal with many other businesses and it’s sad to see the lack of communication you receive from them and this alone puts you off having to do business with them and also recommending them to other people but I certainly can say that the MAX team have it down pat when it comes to this as I have not come across such a happier bunch of people who are always so approachable, friendly and professional GOOD JOB!!
Thanks once again.
Cheers

I love wearing a suit-people treat me with respect and I feel good about myself, thankyou for raising the standard of the fitness industry and making me raise my own standards as a personal trainerJordan Reed

Hello Rowie,I am loving the Fitness Business Diploma and I am learning so much!! Here is what I learnt in just one session tonight…

Strength training increases bone mineral density in older people and they do not have to rely on medications for their quality of life!!

How much independence your mum is able to maintain especially after two heart attacks!

Her stents in the arteries did not need replacing after two years and were still clean!

Her positive out look on life and quality of life is what impresses me most and makes me want to help other people achieve what she has!!

Thank you so much and have a wonderful day

Dear Rowie,Just a quick note to thank you so much for an amazing Executive Club breakfast on Friday! I was feeling so sick with the flu but pushed myself to come to MAXClub to hear you speak about self esteem. I can feel like you spoke directly to me and changed the way I will think of myself forever!I have a more positive attitude, better time management, even better make-up application and great hair days!! It’s made such a difference in these few short days. Your talk will certainly be a gift I will be able to give my daughter when she’s old enough.

Again – from the bottom of my heart thank you for sharing your amazing experiences and teaching me how to truly love myself.
Lots of love and respect,
Angie Thornton xx
