What The MAX Students say about MAX...
As a local queenslander who's journey with you started in your Queensland College.
Let me celebrate what a positive impact you have on this world.
I studied with you. I went to sea as a Steiner Fitness professional on 2 ships for 2 years. I played resort hop around the world including Thailand and Japan. I then launched into a glorious stage career and chose my ideal company to aim for. DISNEY, to bring magic and dreams coming true to hearts of the world. I achieved this and more. My smile grows every day here at Disney Cruise Line in America. Your emails constantly give back to me, in the way I give out each day. Thankyou for giving me that balance. Best news EVER... This week I was offered a dream position. No longer a performer, But the role of a "2 stripe" officer and the Assistant Stage Manager position for all ship wide shows.
Dreams come true and life is taking such great care of me.

Hello Steve, Rowie & KMan,Thank you all for creating and giving Max to people that will strive to be the very best. I am delighted to have the opportunity to continue building my knowledge, brand and business empire with brilliant, successful business professionals and especially Max, Health, Exercise and Lifestyle Professionals. Thank you for opening the door to endless opportunity for me, my beautiful children, the 2,000,000 people who will become my clients and all the people who I touch along the way to building my brand 'Sharon Anyos Lifestyle' from this day forward.
I would like to say a Huge THANK YOU to you Rowie. For the FIRST time in my study/learning life I have learnt all the ways to OUTSTANDINGLY do and definitely what NOT to do to be a success through your Max Excellence Checklist audio. I got to feel as if I were in front of you, hear your PASSION, your PROFESSIONALISM, have a GIGGLE and really get the best FEEL for Max through this audio.. You have really nailed the introduction to a successful students life and values right there. Awesome work. What a difference standing out makes.Most importantly please allow me to share that I WILL become the FIRST at home Max student to achieve excellence awards and the big one The Max Mastery Award. I will find FUN and INNOVATIVE ways to show you WHO and HOW I am making a huge difference as a Max Health, Exercise and Lifestyle Professional.
Once again thank you for what each of you stand for. Especially by not just raising the bar in the professional standards and etiquette of the fitness profession. You have built it up on 20 foot cement ledgers where the ones who dare to make a difference will.

Hi Rowie :-) I just wanted to tell you how much I absolutely love studying at Max. I am doing part time in Brisbane and it is 100% the best decision I have ever made. Benny is such an amazing coach every time he talks I am spellbound and I come away inspired! Every session I feel like he is talking directly to me, he makes studying enjoyable and I am learning so much. I have also really enjoyed the times Jeany has coached us I find her to be a great role model and a lovely person. So I just wanted to say thank you to you and K-Man for giving us all this fantastic opportunity, I am so excited for what this experience will bring for me and all my friends at Max!
Yours in health and fitness,Sarah Do Rozario
Hi Rowie, The last three months have been the best three months of my life. I knew from the moment I made the decision to enter the MAX Diploma program and become a Health, Exercise and Lifestyle Professional, my world (and everyone else's around me) would never be the same. The Program is more than just a double diploma in Business and Fitness, it's a diploma in LIFE.
I've grown as a person tremendously and The Brisbane MAX Team have played a huge part in this as have you, Savvy and KMan. I'd like to thank you for this, and even having the opportunity to nominate Excellence awards to my amazing fellow students has been rewarding in itself!
I am off to change the world...Warmest Regards Nicola
Thank you all soooo freakin much for accepting me into the online learning course I really appreciate it and I'm looking forward to becoming a superb fitness professional! Time to dig in and start learning! I'm super excited to get into it! Keep it up because what you're doing is amazing!!

I still remember your massive smile at the expo. G you have driven me throughout my whole time at MAX and now I am about to Graduate. THANKYOU
You are an inspiration to me, Thank you for everything. Have an absolutely FANTASTIC DAY,
Amber Herz MAX Melbourne Student
Thank you for being an inspiration for me to be happy, positive and the best I can be everyday without the excuses. Thank you and cheers for the Max Team!! How eye-opening and inspiring it was to spend time with the MAX Team in Auckland. I really appreciate the time spent with me and I love that I am not doing one of those personal training courses where professional standards are not important. Greg, the MAX career Coach listens carefully and wants to help me succeed. Sparkly is sparklier than ever, I loved seeing the way she welcomes her new students. When I walked in she made me feel, she does a fantastic job at it. Tommy for instilling belief in myself, acknowledging every student always and making people smile :) I always feel really awesome after chatting with Tommy. Phoenix left a most fantastic voice mail for me, it inspired me to continue on my journey of self-growth to success. I love the brain breaks we have with Phoenix, he makes class really fun.
K-man's time spent with me is invaluable. His class was full of golden nuggets like every class of his, I learn non-stop and it was also sooooper entertaining.
Thank YOU Rowie for seeing the leadership in me. Gratefully with Appreciation, Jarrod LEE "Champions are revealed when the going gets tough"




Dear Max Team,
As part of the Fantastic NEW Melbourne Team I would like to Thank everyone that is behind the scenes providing us with all this great information.
I am sure there are many of you involved in different parts of this AMAZING TEAM. I would like to introduce myself as BOUNCING BEC. The team we have at MAX Melbourne is great and as AWESOME and ENTHUSIASTICas you all are. We look forward to hear from you via newsletters and emails. REMEMBER:THE SUN IS ALWAYS SHINING EVEN BEHIND A CLOUD, Have a fantastic week, Lots of Hugs and loves, BB
Dear Rowie,
I hope you are doing phenomenal and that the Max College is doing great! I just wanted to say after reading your newsletter, that it is soooo refreshing to hear that those covered with tattoo's and/or piercings are still asked to cover them up - that part of being a professional is being aware of this, thank you!
On another note, I always look back at when I first came in contact with your college and I have never looked back and wouldn't change a thing - I have you to thank for igniting my professional career and I was the one only the other day sharing with one of my athletes the story of 'pushers, pullers and climbers'. After all these years, 8 now in fact (WOW), the lessons I learned all that time ago still serve their purpose - and if only others would still strive towards their; I know however those graduating from MAX will be, which is refreshing for society overall!
Thank you Rowie, all the best, take care,
Ashley

Hi Rowie
Let me start by saying WOW. I have just applied to become a Max student at the Auckland Campus and am waiting to hear if I have been accepted. Tommy has been Fantastic.
To get to the point on Saturday night my wife and I and family went out to friends for dinner and while we were there our friend told us that she was pre-diabetic. WOW what a shock our friend on the Verge of having this terrible disease. A happily married mother of 2. I have seen what a disease like this can do. All I wanted to do is say that I can help cure you of this but I kept quiet as I am not yet a International Fitness Professional and didn't want to jeopardise her chances with her exercise and diet change. Or be unprofessional by saying something that I am not ready to do, as I don't have the training yet. I am giving her support and encouragement though. It hits home more when its someone you know. How as a society did we let ourselves get this bad?
Whether or not I am excepted into the Double Diploma there is one thing that I can be sure of and that is I am going to change the world starting at home with my children by helping them make healthy choices.
Have a great day.Regards

Words cannot express how excited I am to get cracking with the MAX double diploma and leap into a career as an international fitness professional. I am so grateful for this opportunity and I can't thank you enough for allowing me into the elite group of lucky ones who made it through the application process. I can tell this is the beginning of something BIG!!!
I also wanted to share with you, in the small number of dealings I've had with MAX so far, I've been blown away by the positivity and professionalism of all your staff and genuine care and concern to want to see me succeed. From the interview process with Greg to my first walk through of the College Monday and seeing Ben in action and NikSTAR's cheerful and welcoming face. I am so so excited that this will be my world in a matter of weeks and can't wait to get cracking!
Very much looking forward to meeting you all!
Nicola :)

Hey Rowie and K man
Hope you Two are Fantastic as always, It was great to catch up at graduation
The Lease I looked at was perfect and is all signed up and Pete Performance Fitness is going to hit Hamilton on the 18th of June-EXCITED
As soon as I am in I will send you photos...The space is 200m2 on a mezzanine floor, toilets and showers, also it has a kitchen (Healthy cooking classes Maybe!)
I also get to use the rest of the building of 1800m2 which is an indoor sport facility whenever it is available (every day apart from a few evenings)
How good is that!
I would love to get some Fitness professionals in to sub lease and help them out to get started as well so if I may share an advertisement in max that would be very much appreciated.
Look very forward to hearing from you, Again THANK YOU for the opportunity to become part of something wonderful
Yours forever in fitness, Pete Cameron
Hey Rowie!!
Hope you have been well, I miss the college and crew very much!

Hi Rowie,
Beau Harricks here , I just finished a brilliant interview with Tommy today. All is great and exciting, and i am ready to rocket.
I have great goals to achieve. I am looking to own my own business in the next coming year and have it fine tuned soon after ready to expand ,
I want to go from a PT studio where i will be running it for the first while making sure it is all set up and running well greesed and oiled.
Once sure the "spice X" exists. Then employ a few more great PTs which will allow me a bit of free time to expand into a life coaching and personal training combination ,
so great things are in mind. Any Who its great opportunity and I am going to take it by the horns.
Thanks so much and have a great Stongend.
Beau Harricks.
Hiya Rowie,
Happy WOW day :)
I just wanted to say thank you for the personal message you sent me, it was lovely to hear from you personally. I'm actually looking forward to when we can see you again - it would be wonderful if you came back in to teach us! ;) Actually on that note we had an amazing day with Tommy, learning so much, and would also love the opportunity to have him teach us again if possible!! Of course we love seeing Kman too because he's so motivating, and Phoenix is great too.I'm loving the Diploma Program and I can't wait to finish and get out there! But it's really fantastic learning all the fitness content, fascinating and I'm so happy to be learning what I'm actually passionate about :)
I had my interview with Steiner last weekend, despite not being qualified, and I just today received an email of acceptance from Chinta, so I'm very happy about that! Should be an incredible experience!!
This week is going great! I just have to get enough sleep and not commit myself to a thousand things at once as I tend to do, so that I can put in 100% effort at course. It's all about balance! Best Regards
Rachel (Now a MAX Master)
p.s. the higher the mountain, the tougher the climb, the better the view from the top!
Thank you so much Rowie,
I am a MAX Graduate!!
I could not have acheived what i have without you and Kman and all your wonderful positive energy and knowledge!
I am sooooo happy and proud and love what i do every day enriching peoples lives and helping them to become fit healthy and strong, and have all those fantastic realisations and life changes along the way. I love it!
Cant wait for graduation - it is so exciting!
