Max Rinehart
Major: Kinesiology, Exercise Science.
Specialty: I specialize in high-resistance and low-volume training styles that are best suited for growing muscle size and building absolute strength.

In my opinion the most important aspect of any training program is adherence and consistency which both stem from enjoyment. By focusing on finding enjoyment in exercise first you can establish life-long habits that will leave you happy and healthy well into your senior years.
Favorite Exercise: My favorite exercise is anything I can do on a smith machine, especially the seated overhead press.

Fitness Philosophy: I believe that fitness improves both physical and mental health, which in turn then improves all other aspects of one’s life. I believe when finding an activity that you enjoy the likelihood that you will stay consistent and adhere to it increases. My goal as your trainer would be to give you the tools to succeed in your fitness endeavors.
Favorite Exercise: My favorite exercise is any free weight exercise that I can do with a barbell or dumbbell. Barbell flexion rows and super ROM lateral raises are some of my favorite exercises.

Fitness Philosophy: I’m passionate about helping people feel fit, fab and functional in their bodies and feeling confident enough to TAKE UP SPACE in the gym and their lives in general. I love helping strip down any intimidating perceptions and help people see that the gym is an absolute playground of possibility and such a fantastic reprieve from the hecticness of life.
Favorite Exercise: My favorite part of the gym is the lifting platform. I love how you can work any and every major muscle group with just a bar and some plates, no fancy equipment or complicated set ups, just different movements with your body and the bar.
