MaxFitness was founded as a way for busy adults to reach their triathlon and marathon training goals. Since 2000, we have trained more than 1,500 athletes on Chicago's South Side. As a busy adult, you have to balance your family, job, and sports training committments. We help you do so en route to having the best body you've ever dreamed of!! Everyone is welcome at MaxFitness. We've had many who started out thinking they'd never participate in sports, but now can't live without the 'rush'! One athlete was a 200lb female 5th grade teacher who walked the Lasalle Bank Chicago Marathon, while another was a former star of the Syracuse Orangemen Basketball team. Regardless of your background, we're waiting to 'feed your body and spirit'. If you're ready to start, we'll help you finish. Are you ready?!?!?!
