Finally Someone Who Gets It.
Fitness has always been the hard part for most people — and that's exactly who My Fitness Guide was built for. Real coaching. A plan with your name on it. Max 4 people per session. West side of Lansing.
See If This Is
The Right Fit.
Coach Max breaks down who this is for, what makes My Fitness Guide different, and what the first step actually looks like.
Every Hero Starts
In The Dark.
Joseph Campbell wrote about it in The Hero with a Thousand Faces — the idea that every hero's journey begins the same way: with pain, with a wound, with something that breaks you open. Maxwell Taborsky's journey started there too.
The Hero with a Thousand Faces — Campbell's insight was that the hero's journey is universal. Everyone faces a moment where the old life no longer works and the path forward is uncertain. My Fitness Guide was built on that belief: that your fitness journey is part of something bigger than just your body.
"It's impossible to lose if you don't quit." That's not a slogan. That's the thing he tells himself. It's the thing he tells his clients when they text him at 9pm saying they want to give up. And it's the belief that My Fitness Guide was built on.
Is This The Right
Fit For You?
- ✓Your family, your work, and your life come first — and you need a program built around that reality
- ✓You've tried before and fallen off — not because you're lazy, but because the program didn't fit your body or your life
- ✓You want to be coached, not just handed a workout and left alone to figure it out
- ✓You want to feel genuinely confident in your body — not just chase a number on a scale
- ✓You want structure that holds up even when motivation disappears
- ✓You want someone who remembers your name, your goals, and what's going on in your life
- ✗You want extreme or overnight results
- ✗You prefer to work out alone without coaching
- ✗You're looking for the cheapest option available
- ✗You want a large group gym environment
We keep groups at a max of 4 on purpose. If this resonates, the next step is a conversation — not a commitment.
Simple. No Pressure.
Just Clarity.
Pick a time that works. We start with a conversation — not a workout, not a sales pitch. You walk in, we sit down, and Coach Max actually listens to what's going on with you.
We talk goals, injuries, schedule, and what's held you back before. Your program gets written around your actual constraints — not a template, not a guess.
Before you walk in the door, your workout is written on the board with your name on it. You stop guessing. You stop deciding. You just show up and get coached.
People Stay Because
It Works.
I'm so proud to say that I've been getting trained by Max at My Fitness Guide Lansing! He makes working out fun and makes accountability seamless! Great sense of humor and he pushes you in a good way!! If you're intimidated by the gym and/or need a reset, I highly recommend!!
I can workout. I have the equipment. I just don't have a place where I can be accountable to someone. To show up with a plan made for me makes it so easy.
Max gives me the tools and belief in myself that I can do this. He does for me what I do for my clients — always encouraging and helping me become better.
I've been working out with Max for about 4.5 months now, and I honestly couldn't be happier with the progress I'm seeing. He's been helping me rebuild my confidence in such a real and steady way, and I really appreciate how he knows when to push me just enough to bring out my best. What I love just as much is the environment. The people I work out with are genuinely positive, encouraging, and always lifting each other up. It makes showing up feel good, even on the tough days. I'm truly thankful for my gym and the gym family I've found there — it feels like more than just a place to work out, it feels like support, growth, and community all in one.
We're On The
West Side.
Best fit for residents on the west side of Lansing — Delta Township, Waverly, Grand Ledge, Diamondale, Holt, and surrounding areas. Most long-term members live within 15–20 minutes so consistency stays easy.
You Probably
Have Questions.
It's semi-private personal training — a maximum of four people per session. You get a custom program written specifically for you, real coaching on your form, and eyes on you the whole session. You're not lost in a crowd and you're never left to figure it out alone.
That's exactly who this studio was built for. Coach Max has worked with complete beginners, people coming back from injury, and people who've avoided gyms their whole lives. The space is small, private, and intentionally comfortable. You won't feel judged — you'll feel seen.
It's a conversation, not a workout. Coach Max will sit down with you, learn about your goals, what you've tried before, any injuries or limitations, and what your schedule actually looks like. From there you'll decide together if it's the right fit. No pressure either way — you'll leave with clarity regardless.
Everything at My Fitness Guide is done by appointment. There's no coming in and working out on your own — every single session is trainer-led and supervised by Coach Max. Your workout is on the board with your name on it before you arrive, your form is coached in real time, and your progress is tracked every session. You're not just using a space — you're being coached the entire time you're there.
No. Transparent pricing with no gotcha charges was one of the core reasons this studio was built. The price you see is the price you pay. Nothing gets added without you knowing and agreeing to it first.
Most long-term members live within 15–20 minutes — Delta Township, Waverly, Grand Ledge, Diamondale, Holt, and nearby neighborhoods. Consistency is one of the most important parts of any program, so proximity matters. That said, if you're motivated to make the drive, come in for a No Sweat Intro and we'll figure it out together.
