In her words

“Reaching a goal with your body that you never thought you could is the best feeling in the world.”

Specializing in HIIT circuit training for weight loss and endurance, and in weight training, Maxine has been in the industry for almost 12 years.

She believes in balance in all aspects of life, including training. She advocates a life with plenty of rest and fun, as well as hard work when the time comes for it.

“When you want to see those results and you have a goal in mind, it’s important to understand that there will have to be some sacrifices. You feel empowered and in control, and this is something to be very highly valued.”

Originally from Cape Town, Maxine danced ballet professionally for twelve years before pursuing personal training. She joined a gym to learn more and keep fit, and from there it was ‘love at first squat’!

I don’t believe life should be all about chicken and broccoli.
