Great gym would 10/10 recommend. The staff was very friendly and helpful and there is a large number of equipment with good variety as compared to other gyms. Memberships are not expensive either!!

I had given Max Fitness a 5 star review just 2 years ago. Unfortunately I have to change that to 1 star. The instructors and trainers are still awesome and deserve 5+ stars. The management lacks business ethics and does not honor signed contracts. The only way to safely be a member of this gym is to pay cash upfront. I've been a member since 2011 and fulfilled my contract term for Push class which I have been a member of since around 2017. They refuse to honor the fact that I have fulfilled my contract term and turned me over to a collection agency. Their method to cancel is through the website but it isn't an interactive website so a form can not be subitted. Terrible business practices all around.

I absolutely Love! Fitlife! This gym has everything from a sauna to a daycare area for my toddler to play while I work out! The workers are sooo nice, and I love that I found a faith based gym!

WARNING: Avoid Max Fitness – Scam Alert

If you’re considering joining Max Fitness, think twice. This gym has a reputation for preying on people with deceptive business practices.
• Impossible to Cancel: Max Fitness intentionally makes it extremely difficult—or outright impossible—to cancel memberships. Even when you follow their process, they continue to charge you monthly fees.
• Indefinite Billing: Many customers report being charged indefinitely, even after moving or requesting cancellation.
• Collections Threats: If you contest the charges, Max Fitness has been known to send accounts to collections, further harming customers financially.

Military Families Beware: With frequent relocations, military families are particularly vulnerable to their unethical tactics.

Protect Yourself: If you’ve already signed up, document every interaction, keep copies of emails, and send cancellation requests via certified mail. Consider involving your bank to block unauthorized charges if necessary.

Stay vigilant and choose a gym with a transparent and fair membership policy.

Max fitness has always been and always will be my home gym. I’ve met the best people there including Cathy and Loren Fuller. After being a member for 4 years, I was treated so amazing and I have no complaints about any bit. I 100% recommend this gym to anyone who is looking to get in shape. The trainers are also amazing people too. I miss my home gym

This business makes it 100% difficult to cancel anything, & will continue to charge you. Had to cancel my debit card. Then they sold my account to a company in Augusta who are just as shady. When their time is up they use lexis nexis to find out your car insurance, or pretend they are in distress and your old roommate needing help. Remember you didn't sign a contract with the 3rd party. Look up youtube videos on collection agencies. Bottom line max fitness may have got the money from the collection agency but the agency didn't get money from me. I'm only on here because 8 years later I'm getting a call from Max Fitness....hummmmm. I did get the collections agency to drop their claim after they called my mom pretending to my my car insurance road side assistance wondering if my number was the same because they lost connection with me.....funny thing. I didn't have road side assistance from my insurance anymore....which is how I know they used Lexis nexis. And using my roommates name. ( Funny thing is my roommate and I were never close, she would have never called me. I doubt she even knows where I am.....so stay away. They haven't changed their tactics in over 8 years.

Beware! Predatory business. I saw all the reviews about billing disputes, but gave them a go anyway. We have been members since 2022 and decided to cancel because too much equipment was out of order that we use. I submitted my cancellation and cancelled my debit card because I was afraid from the reviews. I was right. They kept racking on charges after I cancelled. 30 days of fees and annual charge that I won’t be using and late fees. I paid 32.49 7/24 cancelled 7/25 and here it is 7/26 I have a balance of $113.98. You cannot pay partial and they have all payments going through a third party law office I believe.

We are military and have been to gyms all over America and never had one take advantage of us like this. They only want your money. Making you pay an extra 30 day fee after canceling is ridiculous.

When they asked why I cancelled I told them it was because of the equipment and the bathrooms being broken. They disagreed instead of offering resolution. I believe they are over charging me for this. My neighbor was able to call and cancel immediately 2 months ago with no additional charges.

They choose to use shopvacs and vacuum at the busiest times. Not even my headphones drown them out and my goodness do they take their sweet time. A two hour workout to the tune of vacuuming.
