Meet the MAX Mentors

Don’t just take our word for it, find out about what it’s really like to study at, and graduate from MAX from our past students.

We’ve put people into a wide variety of fitness careers, businesses and we can help you too!

The MAX Founders and Mentors will personally mentor you through the Certificate and Diploma programmes and into your career as a successful Personal Trainer, Fitness Professional and fitness business owner.

This means you will not be sitting in a classroom and getting general information because your mentoring will be specific to your goals and individual to your needs.

Kerry and Rowena McEvoy and Steve Barry collectively have more than 80 years of experience in the Fitness Profession, Fitness Business and in Banking and Finance. It is this experience that will make your personalised mentoring effective, rewarding, memorable and fun.
