Thanks to Maki I am in better shape than I have ever been. The classes enable me not to have to think about what to do - I just show up. Its as close to push button fitness as you can get. Everyone is nice too.
The range of training methods are great - everything gets worked over and it never feels like I'm doing the same thing over and over. I also like all the interesting techniques and equipment that Maki uses.
Maki seems equally comfortable and proficient guiding people of all fitness levels and ages. Everyone seems to enjoy his classes.
Now, if only there was a nutrition/food version of Maki that would be awesome! |

Working with Maki has been the best experience for me. He has a kind demeanor yet knows when to push his clients with a positive manner.
As a result of his workouts I feel fit and toned. He does in 45 minutes what it took in 60 minutes with my last trainer. As a result I have received better results in less time.
He loves his job and it shows as he never tires of ideas to push his clients. I would highly recommend him to others who are looking for a trainer who understands and knows what it takes to get results. |

I am thankful to have found Maki Fit. Before I found these classes I was dedicating the time to work out, but was not getting the results I wanted. These classes have introduced me to a more effective way of working out while maximizing my time and efforts (and I can’t forget to mention the great camaraderie during class). I enjoy the unique style of workouts; Maki is able to challenge me, but never make me feel intimidated, he has the ability to push me to my limits while setting me up for success. I am never unmotivated to attend his classes; In fact, I look forward to the natural high I am left with after I take on Maki’s challenges. Thanks to Maki’s guidance, I have pushed myself to do things I never thought I would be able to do, and the results have been amazing physically and mentally! I appreciate all of Maki’s expertise and dedication to his classes. |

I have trained with Maki for the past four years and I have never felt stronger and better about myself. I find that I have incredible energy and overall have improved immensely. He encourages me to push past my limits and always strive to do better. His realistic approach to fitness has taught me to set realistic goals, which are completely achievable. Maki’s professionalism shows through his work ethic and interaction with his clients. One of his greatest qualities is how he listens and caters to his clients needs whatever they may be. He is creative and offers variety with his workout sessions. I can easily say that after four years, I still find his classes challenging and something that I look forward to week after week. If you are looking to be challenged and are looking to change your body, I recommend that you see Maki as he will guide you along the way and get you the results that you want. |

Just wanted to say how much I really enjoy your classes. You always keep each class fresh as you vary the exercises all the time. Since I have been attending I have never had a class that has been the same as a previous one. And that is what makes it fun and makes me eager to come to class. I like the way you challenge me to do my best in your gentle encouraging manner. I am always up to pushing myself to do my best, so I love a challenge. I like the way you 'read' a class and adjust the exercises depending on the participants and our capabilities. Also what is nice is being able to have the options and flexibility that you provide with the Maki Fit and Kickboxing classes and times. In my busy life this makes it much easier to be able to adjust my exercise times with my home and work life. I have made exercise a priority as the high I am feeling when I leave the class is worth all the sweat plus what a great stress reliever.

I chose Maki because he talked to me about the various parts of fitness. His explanation of what training would be like was what I was looking for. Plus I wanted someone to be accountable to. I wasn’t solely focused on getting fit and losing weight gung-ho. I wanted to be safe, be balanced in my workout approach with strength and aerobic activities. Also, years ago I had a heart condition which I recovered well from, but, I remained sedentary. I wanted someone who could read me and have the good sense and experience to know where to start with my training and when to up the “ante”. Finally, Maki and I had a good discussion on what I was willing to commit to and we began my training.
I moved from being a couch potato to an active person. I noticed muscle endurance. This showed up when playing hard with my grandchildren and when pushing the two of them in a stroller up a long rising hill! An enduring sense of well-being is very motivating! Then I noticed that I could actually ride a bicycle with strength! I could go on about other improvements. But more importantly for me, was that he helped me get over the fear of pushing myself. I improved because he encouraged me through his plan of action and observation of my body’s reaction.
I enjoyed the challenges Maki’s training set up for me because it never made me feel like quitting. He was so wise as to know that I needed pushing, and recognized when pushing had to stop. Actually, I like Maki’s sense of humour when I would growl at having to do one more set! I really enjoyed the variety of exercises that were given. I enjoyed the education that he gave regarding the exercises. I enjoyed having goals set for performance.
Anyone considering training with Maki Performance Training will get value from the knowledge and experience available. I saw him train fully fit people and then he’d work with me. I never felt “less than” when working with Maki as a trainer. He is so respectful of the place that we are in. So from my observation and experience Maki Performance Training will meet and better your fitness level; and do so with respect.

Why did you start training with Maki Performance Training?:_I had been with other trainers over the years but had remained a fit fat guy – basically a guy that could play any sport and run some distances but still out of shape. My hockey playing had started to plateau and my running was not getting better. I needed some one to help me get stronger, fitter and, if possible, more powerful.
What results have you noticed since your time training here?: I noticed results right away on the ice. I got faster and was much harder to push off the puck. But as Maki continued to train me I noticed a lot more. I started to lose some weight that I had been carrying for at least a decade. I started fitting clothes better and, consequently, I started to need new clothes that fit better. Over the last 2 years I have noticed that my running times are not just better, fully a minute per mile better, but I can run much longer distances. This year I will have completed 4 half-marathons, more than I did in my previous lifetime combined.
What do you enjoy most about training with Maki Performance Training? Maki is a true professional in all sense of the word. He makes sure you are doing the exercises properly at all times. Each time I meet with him I know two things are going to happen. First, he will make me laugh because he believes that having fun should be part of a strenuous workout. Secondly, he makes every workout completely different so I have no idea what to expect when I show up.
What would you say to anyone who is considering training with Maki Performance Training?: I have seen Maki train young kids and mature adults. I have seen him train very fit people and other people just starting to get back into some fitness routine. What I have noticed about all of these is that they leave his training sweaty but smiling. He gets all of them to train hard but to enjoy themselves as well. I am fortunate that I have been trained by him on both a one-on-one basis and in group training. He truly excels at both and adapts the workouts to be tailored for whom is training with him.

After two pregnancies and a c-section, I wanted to get into shape and rebuild and strengthen my muscles. I have found through working with Maki that he is passionate about fitness. It shows through his knowledge and the energy and enthusiasm he brings to every session. He makes each workout challenging and creative while keeping your goals in mind. He also places a high value on correct form with each exercise. Maki is very encouraging and motivates me to push past my perceived limits. As a result of working with Maki I have more energy, and my balance, strength and flexibility have improved immensely.
