I've come here for a couple of classes (dance, strength, yoga) through class pass. They aren't super vigorous and geared more towards older people (IMO). Never the less, they were good work outs and the instructors were great. The facility is clean. Parking is relatively easy to find in the area but that depends mostly on the time (I luck out weekend mornings with grabbing a spot in the front). read more

I recently signed up for ClassPass & took my first pilates mat class! I really enjoyed the pilates/yoga mix. I haven't taken a pilates class in a while, so it was a nice way to ease back into it! Kim was great and really took time to work with us during the class. I also loved that it was a small group, and allowed me to get some individual attention. Not going to lie, I thought I was going to coast through the class (lol) but it was challenging ( in a great way) and I definitely felt the burn! The studio was clean and Kim created a great ambiance. I will be returning to take more classes in the future! read more

I always meant to join a yoga and/or a pilates studio, but the longer I waited to do so and the older I got, the more intimidated I was about going into one for the first time and admitting I'd never done pilates before and had only done yoga a few times. And then one day when I was walking around my great town, I happened upon this place, peered in the window, saw how not intimidating it looked, and decided what the hell, I'd give it a shot. I called to put my name on the list for the next level 1 yoga class, but was told that most times students can just walk in a few minutes before classes begin. (Some early a.m. or weekend classes do require a call first, I later learned.) The owner, Kim, is smiley and patient. She never once made me feel like a doof for being new to yoga and pilates. She said I was welcome to attend the level 1-2 yoga classes and the instruction would be tailored to meet everyone's needs. She encourages me to push myself to try harder poses, but never pushes too hard. The pilates classes are usually packed. Nine students just barely fit in the studio, so it can be a bit tricky to do all the movements without bumping into your neighbor. But no one seems to mind. The intimate nature of the studio is part of what makes it so welcoming. Compared to prices of other places I have looked at, I think Maximum Motion is an excellent deal, especially if you buy 10 classes at once. I have not had a chance to try all the classes yet since some are only offered during the day during the week. I took the Saturday a.m. circuit training class once and it was killer (in a good way!). I wish there were more classes available early on weekdays. Unfortunately, I was told, there just isn't enough interest during that time. There is, however, a boot camp that Kim runs a few times a year and which begins at 7am. Kim also offers Thai yoga massage, which I did once and which was amazing. She pushed my body into yoga and other poses for very deep stretches. read more

I come here for Pilates twice a week, and I love it! Wednesday night (7PM-8PM) is the beginners class; the instructor tries to modify the moves to match the level of each student. Saturday morning (10AM-11AM) is the advanced class, and it is satisfyingly challenging! The studio space is intimate, the instructors are personable, and the class sizes are small enough to allow personal attention. You do not need to bring any equipment. I buy a 30 class pass for $120. Maximum Motion Fitness offers other classes as well like yoga and body circuit. Give this place a try if you want a mind-body experience! read more

I had not come to this gym for a while and have to practice yoga in CT due to my new job. So I started going here during the weekend again last week and I just had my best yoga practice here and ever with Tania earlier today!!!! I have finally realized the benefit of having a small class and attentive instructor. I always complain about yoga classes being too expensive, but I guess there is no way around it if you really want to have someone pay attention to your poses and have a nice & relaxing space for your session. You really get (if not more than) what you pay here. Tania helped me with my poses in such a way that no instructors in any other gyms in CT do. I totally feel like I have learned so much from this one lesson than what I did in the last few months. She had this warm, gentle and soothing approach throughout the class, which definitely helped me a lot in relaxing and focusing on my own poses. read more

I really enjoy classes here. The instructor is easy to understand, knowledgeable and informative. The classes are relatively small, so you can get a lot of personalized attention. The studio is clean and inviting, plus the prices are reasonable. I have been very happy with this place. read more

If you want results, this is the place for you. I have tried taking yoga and various fitness classes over the years and never stuck with any of them, they just did not click for me. Then a friend told me about Maximum Motion Fitness, and since it is nearby I decided to give it a try. I never looked back. Kim (the owner) is a brilliant instructor. She has a wonderful, no-nonsense approach to fitness training. She is a former dancer, with years of experience as a trainer as well. Kim is patient and a good listener, but do not be fooled by her gentle demeanor. She will assess your fitness level and blast you into shape in no time. Of course, you need to be serious and willing to put in the effort as well. But what makes her so effective is she will tailor your workouts precisely to your fitness level and then push you to your limits. It's a good kind of pain, it works! I highly recommend Maximum Motion Fitness. read more

It's been a month that I have started going to Maximum Motion Fitness. I find this place very professional. Instructors Kim and Susan are awesome. The classes are small and Kim pays attention one on one. It is similar to having a personal session with a trainer. I love going to Maximum Motion and I would recommend it to everyone. read more

Very friendly and personal gym. I've been going for years.

One of the best work out places I have been to. Kim takes personal interest in each one there and shares tips and techniques to get your body in shape. A real inspiration and a very nice place to spend your time fruitfully. The classes have been designed thoughtfully with your body in mind. Kim always gives you alternatives if you are injured or unable to perform a particular workout. All the trainers here have been very cordial and friendly answering questions on fitness that you might need. I worked out for a year and had a totally toned body till after I got pregnant and moved. I miss the people and place so much. Overall hats off to Kim for all her hard work. read more

I have been eyeing this place for a while but after relying solely on running, biking, and free online workouts, I couldn't quite bring myself to try it out until I saw a great Living Social deal for an unlimited month pass. Since then, I've checked out most of the classes and have fallen in love with the studio. The owner and instructors are all very friendly and knowledgeable. Even though they're getting a lot more traffic due to the Living Social deal, to me the classes are still small and intimate enough to feel like I'm getting personal attention when I need it. Plus, I like that you see a lot of familiar faces at each class -- really has a community feel. I'll definitely continue to work out here after the promotion expires. read more

This is a great studio with lot's of variety. I have been working out here for 8 months and have made a major transformation. My favorite classes are Zumba, Bodysculpting, Pilates, Cardio Kick Boxing, and the half hour classes (Triple A & Circuit Training). You get a real great workout and in only a half hour. It is very easy to piggy-back other classes after the half hour and sneak in a different workout. read more

This new facility is light, airy and so clean. The owner, Kim, is very knowledgable about yoga and fitness. Friendly and even cheerful, Kim's yoga classes are serene yet challenging. This studio is a wonderful new addition to the Grove Street district of JC. read more

I was first drawn in by the motto "move the body, calm the mind." I like the variety of classes offered and the small class size. Not an intimidating place. Good for all fitness levels. After 4 weeks of ~4 classes/week I notice a difference in my body tone and ability to deal with stress. read more

I've taken some Hatha 1 classes here and always feel great afterward. There's a very calm, non-competitive vibe here that is wonderful for beginners like myself. read more
