Meet Your Coach

Max Barnett.
Coach. Athlete. Mensch.

No matter your background, experience level, age, or identity, I believe one thing above all: fitness is for the people. With the right support and a well-designed plan, anyone can get stronger and more athletic, feed their body better, and build the best version of themself — inside and out.

"My mission in life is to help you chase your loftiest fitness dreams, become physically exceptional, and be a good person."

A life-long multidisciplinary athlete, bodybuilder, and powerlifter, my decade-plus of experience coaching everyone from national-level athletes to first-time gym-goers has taught me that any physical quality can be trained in any person.

Max is the first coach who actually listened. My lifts are better, my recovery is better, and I finally feel like I know what I'm doing in the gym.

I came in thinking I was too out of shape to ever really be strong. Six months later I pulled 315 for the first time. Max makes you believe it's possible, and then backs it up with a plan.

As a trans athlete, finding a coach who gets it — really gets it — changed everything. No weird assumptions, no awkward conversations. Just excellent programming and genuine support.

I've worked with four other coaches before Max. None of them were even close. The check-ins, the programming, the way he adapts to my life — it's a different level.
