Ever wondered what actually goes on behind the scenes at MaxFit? 👀

A coaching day at MaxFit starts long before the first session! Everything is planned weeks in advance, so coaches are going over sessions, checking in on individual programmes, tracking member progress, and getting together as a team to make sure everything is running smoothly.

That's the bit you don't always see, but it's what makes the difference. 💪

Huge shout out to Andrew and Leza for letting us share a bit of their progress!

Think you've got control? Try this fun squat challenge 👇

Front squat ➡️ knees to the floor ➡️ sit all the way down ➡️ back up to front squat

Sounds simple until you try it 😅 This one tests your strength, mobility and control all at once:

🦵 Lowering to the floor takes control through the bottom of the squat.

🧘 Getting back up without collapsing needs hip and ankle mobility.

💪 Standing tall again shows real strength through your full range.

Give it a go and tag a friend to try it with you 👀

Save this for your next leg day 📌

Save this for deadlift day 📌

One tip to instantly improve your deadlift 👇

“Shins to bar”

Setting up this way puts your hips in the right spot for a perfect deadlift every time. Here's why it matters:

⬆️ Hips too high? Your back takes over, which is a fast track to pain and strain.
⬇️ Hips too low? It turns into a squat, and you lose the power of the hinge.
✅ Shins to the bar? Hips land right in the sweet spot, every time.

Small cue, big difference. This is the kind of detail our coaches at Maxfit look for in every rep, so you lift stronger and safer.

Try it in your next session and tell us how it felt 💪

What’s better than burpees? No-hands burpees 😂

Should we add them to the programme?

It’s important to have a bit of fun amongst all of the hard work here at MaxFit!

Which coach do you think nailed it? Which challenge should we attempt next?

💙 ONE GYM. TWO JOURNEYS. A BIG DIFFERENCE.

When Siobhan joined MaxFit in November 2023, she was a busy single mum, juggling work, family life and everything in between.

She was exhausted, stressed and struggling to find time for herself.

Fast forward to today, and she's stronger, fitter, happier and has more energy than ever.

But the story doesn't stop there.

Seeing the difference training had made to her own life, Siobhan encouraged her teenage son Finn to give it a go.

He was reluctant at first, but with Shane's encouragement, he's gone on to develop incredible strength, confidence and a real love for training.

When we asked Finn about his biggest achievement, his answer said it all:

"My mental health, I just feel more comfortable in my own skin." ❤️

Two different journeys, but both a reminder that the benefits of training go far beyond the gym floor.

We're genuinely delighted to have played a part in both their journeys.

Same workout. Two completely different fitness levels.

Let me show you how that works here at MaxFit.

Before you start training with us, we assess you across 15 different areas of fitness. Those assessments help determine the right level for you.

So, take these two members, for example.

They’re following the exact same workout, but one is training at Yellow level and the other at Purple.

For our strength work, Yellow is doing goblet squats, while Purple is doing barbell front squats.

Then, in our Workout of the Day, Yellow starts with 30 box stepovers, while Purple tackles 40 box jump overs.

After that, both move into lunging and core exercises, again with different levels of difficulty.

Same movement patterns. Same training objective.

But the technical difficulty, weight, repetitions and intensity are all tailored to the individual.

And that’s the beauty of our system.

You don’t have to be as fit as the person beside you. You just have to train at the level that’s right for you.

👻 Still saying “I’ll start next week”?

At this rate, even the ghosts are getting impatient. 😂

Three hours a week done consistently can transform how you look, feel and perform.

Don’t ghost your future self! 👻💙

What does training actually look like at MaxFit?

Well, every session starts with a dynamic warm-up that’s designed to get the body moving and prepare you for your workout.

From there, we typically move into strength work with exercises like squats, deadlifts, presses or Olympic lifts, and we progress these movements over several weeks so you can actually measure your progress!

But what makes our training different? Before you even start, we assess you across 15 different areas of fitness using a colour coded belt system that goes from white to black. Your colour for deadlifts might be different to your colour for running, but our app will guide you through the exact exercises and weights appropriate for your ability!

This is personalised training but in a group setting!

We then move into our workout of the day where the music goes up, intensity picks up, and you get a good sweat on!

Every day looks a little different, but our programming is not random! It’s designed to develop well-rounded fitness.

Throughout the whole session, you’ll have a coach there actually coaching you, correcting technique, adjusting weights, and making sure you’re training at the right level.

One of our members summed up our sessions perfectly:

“All I have to do is show up, I follow the workout, and leave feeling amazing!”

If that sounds good to you, click the link in our bio to get started, and we’ll see you soon!

My Favourite Thing About Running MaxFit? 💙

One of my favourite things about running MaxFit is that I’ve managed to build a business around so many of the things I genuinely enjoy.

I’ve always loved strength and conditioning, sport, nutrition, learning new things and generally keeping active.

And now I get to share those interests with other people.

Whether that’s coaching kids, helping adults get stronger and fitter, organising hikes, runs and challenges, or just getting everyone together for a bit of craic.

I even enjoy the challenge of building and growing the business itself. Although there’s definitely been a few days over the last seven years when I’ve questioned that! 😂

Of course, it’s not always easy, but I feel very fortunate to get to spend my days doing something I enjoy, surrounded by good people.

And I think that’s probably my favourite part of all. 💙

For those of you who train with us, what’s your favourite thing about being part of MaxFit?
