Big Work Training Studio - Maynard, Massachusetts

Marc Marino

I started with Max in January of this year having never worked with a trainer before, seeking a coach to help ensure the time I spend in the gym is maximized for results. I couldn't be happier with the training and results so far! Max built a plan tailored to my goals, and he has worked with me over the course of the year evolving the plan month to month with a focus on working progressively across all exercises. The sessions in the Big Work studio are varied with a different workout planned each time, and always at an appropriate intensity level. Max listens and takes notes, constantly checking in on how things are feeling during the course of a given session. He customizes planned workouts based on whether I am nursing a particular injury or soreness, and typically incorporates stretching and mobility exercises to address. Max has also put together a program for me to focus on outside of his studio, ensuring that I've got a full week planned out. The value of the Big Work service offering really stands out - you get a ton for the money. You get out of training what you're willing to put in, and if you're ready to make the commitment, I'm confident you will love working with Max!

I am very grateful for having had the chance to train with Max here in Maynard. Besides the fact that he knows how to give you a personalized and effective workout, he is extremely kind, patient, and empathetic with all clients.

I came to Max’s studio after struggling for multiple years to get out of the beginner stages of lifting/strength training and to stop under-eating consistently. 1 minute into meeting with Max for an initial consult, I had a very good feeling that I had found the right place. Now it’s been 1.5 years of training, and I have bulked up my body weight from 180 to 205, can now deadlift weight in the 400s, squat 250+ for multiple reps, and have hit other personal goals such as holding an L-sit. I have pushed past so many mental and physical barriers during my time with Max. I love it here!!!

I've had the privilege of training with Max, and I couldn't be happier with the results and the overall experience! Max is not just a personal trainer; he's a motivator, a coach, and a true fitness enthusiast.

After being out of shape for quite some time, Max was incredibly patient and understanding. He customized my workout plan to suit my specific needs and goals. His kindness and positive attitude made every session enjoyable, even when I was pushing my limits.

Max's dedication to his clients' success is evident in every session. He pushed me just the right amount to ensure progress but always with safety in mind. His knowledge of fitness and nutrition is top-notch, and he was always ready to answer my questions and provide valuable insights.

Thanks to Max's guidance and support, I've only gotten stronger and much more motivated. I highly recommend Max to anyone looking for personalized training and a trainer who genuinely cares about your well-being. If you want to achieve your fitness goals while enjoying the journey, Max is the one to call.

i went to Max a few months ago hoping to have a bit more accountability with my workouts and get back to being consistent with them. Max was able to help me achieve this, and then some! He creates such a fun and comforting space in his gym that will have you excited to go workout. Max will encourage you and push you to achieve more than you ever thought you could - i hit a deadlift PR with him that i truly never thought I’d be able to do! Max is really the sweetest guy and is extremely knowledgeable. If you’re looking to make some changes in your life and have fun while doing it, I’d highly recommend going to Max!

I started training with Max at the end of 2022 after years of extremely long days, nights and weekends, and the constant high stress of a demanding professional job took its toll on my body. I was extremely overweight and my Doctor wasn’t happy about the state of things.

Max was a great trainer to engage with. Seriously coming from a “zero mobility” lifestyle, Max brought a professional, no-judgement attitude to the table. He crafted a well thought out plan for me, taking into account certain issues and limitations.

Through his positive attitude and encouragement, I was successful in my program — shedding more than 80 pounds of body fat from when I started. Under Max’ guidance, I was totally able to turn my sad physical state around for the better!!

In summary, I’m so lucky I chose him as my trainer as he was absolutely instrumental in me achieving my fitness goals and overall success!

I recently reached my weight goal after being overweight for years and wanted a trainer to take me too the next level of fitness. I scored big time finding Max. During our intial consultation, Max asked all the right questions regarding my goals and objectives and really listened to where I wanted to go next in my fitness journey. Max wrote out a program for me and I was immediately impressed with how foundational we were starting, I knew I was in good hands. Over the last six weeks, working with Max, I have seen real progress, increased mobility, and stronger in everyday movements. I am so grateful to Max for helping me get on a healthy, sustainable life long path.

I trained with Max when he was offering Services in NY, in the Albany area. Super awesome trainer, and incredibly accomodating to our needs. As an unfit guy who hadn't done a lot of gym work in the past, Max was able to create a great flexible program for us to work on. He pushed me to do stuff I never thought I'd be able to do, and was a lot of fun to work with. Great trainer, and a great personality, can't recommend him enough!
