Max Strength — Out of Pain. Into Strength.

Sound Familiar?

This is what it feels like
when your body is asking for help.

You wake up stiff and it takes 20 minutes before you can move normally

You've stopped doing things you love because you're afraid of making it worse

You've been told to stretch more, rest more, or just lose weight — and it hasn't helped

You manage it with ibuprofen, ice, or just pushing through — but it always comes back

You've seen a doctor, a chiropractor, a PT — and you're still in pain

You feel like your body is aging faster than it should — and you don't know how to stop it

If any of that sounds like you — there's a reason. And there's a way out.

The Foundation

Pain is a signal,
not a sentence.

Most people are told to manage their pain, live with it, or avoid what triggers it. That's a lie. Pain is your body asking for something — and we're going to figure out what that is and fix it for good.

This isn't a rehab class. This isn't generic fitness. This is a structured, principle-based approach to eliminating back pain and building a body that works the way it was designed to. The same principles that fix back pain apply to chronic pain anywhere — knees, hips, shoulders, ankles. If it's been hurting and nothing has fixed it, this is for you.

Built on Truth

Everything taught here is grounded in how the body was designed to work. Not trends, not guesswork — principles rooted in truth that produce real, lasting results.

Out of Pain

We identify what's actually causing your pain, address it with targeted training, and build the resilience to keep it from coming back.

Into Strength

Pain relief isn't the finish line — it's the starting point. We build real, functional strength that changes how you move through your entire life.

For Decades

I also work with people who desire to build a body that stays capable, strong, and mobile for decades — getting ahead of the effects of age before pain ever becomes the story.

Private Garage Gym

South Hill, Spokane, WA — a focused, distraction-free training environment.

Session Length

45–50 min

Efficient and intentional. No fluff — every minute has a purpose.

Class Times

7:00 AM · 8:30 AM · 10:00 AM · 1:00 PM · 2:30 PM

Three time slots to fit your schedule. Don't see a time that works? Contact Max — he'll do his best to make it happen.

What a Session Looks Like

Every session opens with a sled warm-up, then moves into targeted bodyweight and free weight strength work focused on your current weak links. Wednesday is a shorter mobility day with a 20–30 minute teaching and Q&A — plus you get that mobility session to repeat on your own Friday or Saturday. Sessions close with intentional stretching.

The Schedule

Mon – Thu, Every Week

Four days a week, every week, for 12 weeks. Sessions are structured, intentional, and designed to build on each other. One day a week includes a 20–30 minute teaching — a principle, a topic, a truth that changes how you understand your body.

12-Week Arc

What You'll Learn

Every four weeks builds on the last. By the end, you won't just feel better — you'll understand why.

1–3

Weeks

Foundation

We assess how you move, identify your weak links, and begin building the foundation. Every session opens with a sled warm-up followed by targeted bodyweight and free weight work. Wednesday is a mobility and teaching day — you'll start understanding why your body moves the way it does.

4–6

Weeks

Building Load

Form is dialing in. Now we start adding load intentionally. Strength becomes the focus — always pain-free. You'll notice things getting easier that used to be hard.

7–9

Weeks

Strength & Capacity

This is where real change becomes undeniable. Capacity is building, movement is improving, and the methodology is clicking. Wednesday teaching sessions go deeper into how the body adapts and how to keep progressing on your own.

10–12

Weeks

Own It

You understand your body now. The final block is about locking in the habits, maximizing strength, and setting you up to keep progressing long after the 12 weeks are done. You leave with a system, not just a result.

The Training

Every Movement Chosen With Intention

The standard is simple: own the movement first. Once you're chasing perfect form and your body is ready, we add load and we push — always pain-free. That's the standard. That's the goal.

The App

Your Program, In Your Pocket

Every client gets access to the Max Strength app. Track your workouts, log your progress, send form check videos, and message Coach Max directly. Your training doesn't stop when you leave the gym.

Who This Is For

If any of this sounds
like you — keep reading.

Intentional

You're here on purpose — and you desire something that actually works

You're looking for a place where physical discipline is grounded in real principles — where the reason you show up goes deeper than aesthetics, and the system you follow actually makes sense.

Done with Band-Aids

You desire the root cause fixed

You've tried stretching it out, resting it, icing it. It keeps coming back. You want to find the root cause of the problem and fix it for good — not manage it forever.

Ready to Build

You're willing to do the work

Whether you're new to training or have been at it for years, you're ready to be challenged. You desire to be stronger, move better, and feel the difference in your everyday life.

This isn't for everyone.

If you're looking for an easy fix, a passive approach, or a class where you can show up halfway — this isn't it. This program requires commitment, honesty, and a willingness to be challenged. The people who get results here are the ones who show up ready to do the work, even when it's uncomfortable. I'm looking for people who desire truth over comfort — and who are ready to pursue it.

Already in Pain?

Let's address the root
and fix it.

If you're living with chronic back pain — whether it's been months or decades — this is a system designed to teach you exactly how your body works and what movements restore it. No more managing. No more waiting. You deserve to be pain-free.

Feeling the Effects of Age?

Build the body you desire —
before pain writes the story.

You may not be in pain right now, but you feel the stiffness creeping in, the things that used to be easy getting harder. The best time to address this is before it becomes a problem. I work with people who desire to build a body that stays capable, strong, and mobile for decades.

Your Coach

Max
Nelson

I spent nearly three years dealing with back pain after a squatting injury. Nobody gave me a real answer — just rest, ice, and avoid what hurts. So I started figuring it out myself, piece by piece, learning from mentors who understood the body the way I wanted to. I built a system that actually works. Now I help people do in months what took me years.

My faith is the foundation of how I coach. I believe God designed your body to be strong, capable, and pain-free — and that getting there requires truth, not comfort.

My Story

In February 2020 I injured my back.
It changed everything.

February 2020 — At My Worst

9 Months Into the Methodology — Pain Free

Injured February 2020. Started the methodology October 2022. Pain-free within 9 months.

I tried chiropractic, physical therapy, yoga, and general strength training. None of it fixed me. Every morning I woke up in pain. Walking up and down the stairs was excruciating. I was in college during COVID, barely able to work — I'd painfully force myself into my car just to go donate plasma to make a little money.

In October 2022 I started implementing a new training methodology. Within three months I was more flexible and pain-free than I had ever been. Within nine months I was completely pain-free — able to touch my palms flat on the ground, pick up my kids without fear, play golf and basketball without a week-long flare-up after.

What used to be the weakest part of me became the strongest. That methodology is what I teach now.
