You might wonder whether Max Velocity really works for people your age, with your schedule, your history of aches, and your doubts about gyms. These stories are from real adults over 50 who felt the same way and gave this place a try — so you can see what’s possible for you, too.

"I originally came looking for the accountability of a personal trainer, but what I found was so much better. Flexible scheduling gives me the consistency I need to plan and stick to it. ... It’s the perfect combination of expert coaching, a structured format and a supportive community. Ken provides the workout, customizes it for each person’s needs, walks us through it, and makes sure our form is right - so I can just show up and do the work without even having to think about it. The small-group group setting is exactly what I needed. Everyone’s encouraging, welcoming and on their own path. It has become my gym family."

~ Amy, 50, full-time working mom

"I have been working out for a number of years, but only started regularly later in life. I have known and worked with Coach Ken for more than 12 years. I respect his knowledge of the body and the science of fitness. Besides the physical results I’ve seen, my favorite thing about training with Ken is the community. I really like the supportive atmosphere and consider everyone here a friend. I am stronger than many people half my age … and age-adjusted, I am in the best shape of my life."

~ David, 59, father of 3 and grandfather of 1

"I always enjoyed exercising, but I didn’t make it a priority. I belonged to a few gyms over the past few years but didn’t stick with it.  I reasoned I didn’t have the time.  My family and job came first. ... I joined Max V because I want to remain active, get stronger, and be more flexible as I grow older.  I really enjoy learning from Coach Ken and working out in a small group.  The environment is very welcoming and encouraging! ... My favorite thing about Max V is how everyone cheers one another on.  Coach Ken is very encouraging and instills confidence in his clients.  It is such positive environment.  ... Since joining MAX V, I have lost weight and gained energy.  I feel stronger, more flexible, and sleep very well at night. " 

~ Liz, 61, pre-school teacher, wife and mother

"I have been exercising for a long time. I swim, do yoga, ride my bike in good weather and try to walk every day. I joined Max V to get stronger and feel more capable as I get older; I also take advantage of Ken's 1x1 assisted stretching, which I love. I enjoy the community of people and the sincere and conscientious attention I get during every session. It is a diverse community with people of all ages and different levels. I always feel very comfortable.  I look forward to my sessions and have energy after I leave. I would highly recommend this service and training to people I care about so they can feel stronger inside and out."

~ Elissa, 67, psychologist, professor and mother

"My back pain was so bad that I had trouble getting out of bed and walking. After doing the exercises you recommended for just a couple of weeks, the pain is gone! Not only am I able to go to the gym and train with you, but I was able to climb the stairs at the Mets game with no pain."

~ Ben, 52, accountant and Mets fan

“This is the most consistent I’ve ever been with working out. I’ve joined gyms before and didn't go. But when you put it into your schedule and say, ‘I’m going to take care of my body,’ that’s what an athlete does.”

~ Loretta, 52, high school principal
