Maximise Fitness is a gym located in Preston, New Zealand. With a focus on maximising your fitness potential, this gym offers a range of services to help you achieve your personal goals.
One unique feature of Maximise Fitness is their Recovery Suite, inspired by Max's own experiences during his Pole Vaulting career in Finland. In Finland, regular sauna sessions combined with submersions in frozen lakes were a normal part of the recovery protocol. The sauna at Maximise Fitness is a wet sauna, where you can throw water onto the coals to experience deep penetrative heat. Additionally, you have the option to choose from a variety of aromatherapy oils to enhance your relaxation and destress.
The use of a sauna as a recovery tool has been shown to boost healing abilities. The heat from the sauna causes blood vessels to open up, and when combined with contrast bathing in an ice bath, the blood vessels constrict. This process, known as hyperthermic training, acts as a full body pump, sending blood to muscles and joints that need repair while also removing waste products. Sauna sessions also lead to sweating, which burns calories and can be beneficial for weight loss goals.
If you're looking for personalised training, Maximise Fitness offers Individual PT sessions. Max, the owner of the gym, will tailor your training sessions to help you strategically work towards achieving your personal goals. These sessions are privately booked, ensuring individual attention and focus. Max brings a wealth of knowledge from his experience working with the best performance staff at British Athletics, both in medical and strength & conditioning roles.
Nutritional advice and body measurement tracking are also included in these sessions. Additionally, you will have direct virtual access to Max 24/7 for any advice or support you may need outside of training times.
Maximise Fitness also offers individual sports massage treatments. Max, who qualified in Loughborough, has treated world-class athletes in various sports. However, sports massage is not just for athletes; it is beneficial for people from all walks of life. Max encourages clients to use him for a 1 Month MOT treatment, where he treats the full body for 60 minutes.
This maintenance treatment helps relieve stress, reduce joint pain, and soften muscle tissue to reduce the risk of injuries. You can also enhance your recovery by following up your massage with the sauna and ice bath for the ultimate recovery session.
