Maks Mbakwe
Personal Trainer
Maks is a testament to the transformative power of health and fitness. As someone who has found passion and community in both soccer and physical fitness for as long as he can remember, this strong foundation played a critical role when he was diagnosed with Leukemia. Being healthy and having built muscle mass accelerated Maks’ recovery and saved his life.
“Being at rock bottom with my health, I truly realized the importance of physical health. I want to be the person that has an impact on others’ lives. There is lots of misinformation out there, and I want to be the person that has the answers”.
As a personal trainer, Maks brings the fun into every session but is also driven by a mission of discipline, pushing his clients to show up even when they don’t want to.
Outside of training, Maks enjoys a variety of hobbies like skating, watching movies, playing ping-pong, and trying new foods.
