WHAT PEOPLE SAY

When I first started watching Maxim's videos, I was in a good bit of pain from the beating that my body had taken over the last twenty years of training wrestling and Jiu-Jitsu and competing in strongman events. I know a lot of physical therapists, chiropractors, Div 1 S&C coaches from years of training and competing, and none of them had been able to do anymore than offer partial and temporary fixes, and so I've spent the last five years feeling my body getting progressively worse and knowing that the future was going to rough. I set up a call with Maxim, and within the first ten minutes of assessing me through the Facetime app he'd already pointed out several things that I knew were wrong, so I told myself that if he can spot that much through my phone then he must know something. Since then, he's taught me so much about my body that had fallen through the cracks when I was learning how to train properly because what he's teaching me isn't "training" in that sense, it's more like the things you should be doing all the time. Good posture, how to walk, reach, bend, even sleep properly. Every time I've said "this" is bothering me, within the next few minutes he's figured out the movement that's making it hurt, figured out what I'm probably doing throughout the day where I'm making that faulty movement, and showed me how to do it properly so it doesn't hurt anymore. I get that a lot of people are probably looking to him for "training" advice and that's fine because he's got loads of it for you, but for everyone else who just wants to move at 65 like you did at 35 then you need him even more than the other folks.

Maxim is the man! I'm around 40+ years old, I was like a frankenstein when I first started and had a terrible knee injury. I thought I was going to have to quit BJJ. Now I train harder then ever, have great mobility and feel I move better then when I was 23!

Maxim is one of the best if not the best trainers. The amount of details he provides with correct applications and ways to incorporate in your training is just mind boggling.

I stumbled upon his video on YouTube and as I watched it, get hooked up instantly. Though I am not a gymnast, I felt improvement from day one. I have been using his methods and tips since that day.

The biggest gains I got are improved posture and increased strength. I would say he introduced me to full potential of my body.God bless you Maxim. We need more trainers like you.

He's one of the best personal trainers you can find! I struggled with postural problems for many years, and he was able to quickly pinpoint the main problems and developed exercises that helped to fix my posture very quickly.

Not only will he help you to get fitter, but he approaches fitness with a very well-rounded approach that will help you with many aspects of life.

I’ve been working with Maxim for some time now, and I can honestly say he’s one of the most knowledgeable trainers I’ve met. His deep understanding of body mechanics and human anatomy is incredible; it’s like getting a lesson straight out of a textbook but in a way that's get you to rethink on how your body operate in a movement. He takes the time to break down each movement, explaining not only how to execute it correctly but also the mental aspect of it. Maxim consistently goes above and beyond expectations in each session, he is very dedicated to adapt the session to the client's needs safely and effectively. I’ve seen remarkable progress, and I attribute much of that to his guidance. I couldn’t recommend him enough!"

Maxim is extremely professional and knowledgeable in the way the human body functions. I got a recommendation from a friend to try Maxim’s online training for a nerve issue I have that a neurologist said it’s basically untreatable, and  physiotherapy didn’t really make a big improvement. After the first session with Maxim I already felt a positive shift. Maxim was able to identify the weaker parts of my body and help me adjust the way I walk and hold myself. He really knows how to hack the way his trainees think and help them basically fix themselves with his guidance. This is more than a regular training it’s alignment fixing that everyone should be conscious of and learn.

My son (15) has been working with Maxim to improve his gymnastics skills, focusing on his flexibility, mobility, and strength. We had a wonderful experience. Maxim was not only knowledgeable in gymnastics but also incredibly supportive, making each session productive and enjoyable. It was extremely helpful especially as my son was recovering from an injury.  Maxim tailored each session to meet my son's unique needs and skills. He used images to demonstrate correct postures and positioning, helping in the understanding and execution of various gymnastics skills. I highly recommend Maxim to any parent seeking a dedicated professional for their child's athletic development.

I’m thrilled working with Maxim. I wanted to improve my physical appearance and health, since having children, but I’ve always hated gyms.

I didn’t want to waste my time or money at them. I did one session with Maxim and I knew right away this is what I’ve always wanted from working out.

Since starting with Maxim I feel stronger and have way better posture, but my confidence in my body has improved the most.

Before Maxim I had been in and out of physical therapy for over a decade, trying everything and anything to improve my back pain and sciatica. A month and half of work with him has dramatically improved my quality of life. His approach is unlike any other personal trainer, and his attention to my individual issues shows me he isn't running through a recipe. This is one of the best investments in my health I've made in a long time. I am lucky to be able to attend in person sessions, but his flexibility allowed us to continue training even when travelling. I'd recommend if you are sceptical about whether Maxim can help you, let him walk you through an hour of his approach. Halifax is lucky to have him here.

Maxim is hands down the most amazing trainer I have ever had (and I’ve worked with some superb swimming coaches and PTs in my life!) His approach is both warm and efficient - you will be working super hard, enjoying yourself and getting real results! I love how versatile his cues are, if you’re not ‘getting it’ he will find a different way of explaining things so that you do. There is also zero judgement and intimidation so please jump right in even if you have zero experience with gymnastics, handstands etc like I do! Enjoy, have fun and stay fit - you deserve it

I'm Vera, 23 years old, from Germany. I was lucky enough to meet Maxim online through my aunt. Until now, I'd never worked with a personal trainer, but I'm so glad I did. I'm a beginner at stretching, but after just four weeks, I'm already seeing significant progress and have learned so much that I can continue working on myself on my own. Above all, it makes you realize how much you're actually doing wrong, despite watching videos on Instagram, YouTube, and the like. He explains everything very thoroughly and in a clear, descriptive way. Even with a slight language barrier and a distance of 8,000 kilometers, it's easy to understand. And what's also important: it's (most of the time :D) a lot of fun! :-) I can truly recommend training with Maxim to everyone!
