Position with Max Muscle: Regional Director, Franchisee Board of Director and Store Owner
Why Max Muscle:
I love everything about health and fitness and have been involved with the industry since 1996 when I started my bachelor’s degree in Exercise Physiology. My background includes corporate health and wellness speaking, coaching and mentoring; corporate wellness program design, government/military fitness programming, personal training, group fitness instruction and nutrition planning. I am an IFBB Figure Pro and fitness model.
So why did I decide to open a Max Muscle…because Max Muscle makes the world’s best supplements and I could send all my clients, friends and family into a store where I knew exactly how they would be treated – with world class customer service and great product/nutritional education. In 2007 Kristin and I became the Regional Directors for the state of Virginia which allows me the opportunity to grow the brand helping other trainers find new careers and change the lives of people in great capacities! Additionally, I am the Pre-Postnatal Fitness expert for Gold’s Gym International, conduct Mommy Boot-Camps and prenatal personal training at Gold’s Gym in Woodbridge, serve as the President of the Non-Profit Fit & Healthy Schools and Chair the Health and Wellness Business Council for the Prince William Regional Chamber of Commerce.

Position: Regional Director, Multiple Store Owner (Manassas & Fairfax)
Why Max Muscle? Owning a Max Muscle franchise has given me the professional lifestyle change I needed, allowed me to serve my community, and helped me restore my good health through proper nutrition and supplementation. I loved my 18-year government career and was passionate about the mission every day. I suddenly realized, however, that I was missing out on what was really important in my life and needed to make a change. I was working long hours and stressing about work when I wasn't there. I didn't see my husband or family as much as I wanted, was overweight, had high cholesterol, thyroid disease, and had a melanoma removed. It was time to make a change and I couldn't be happier that Corry and I found the Max Muscle Sports Nutrition franchise. We are dedicated to improving the health and fitness of our community one person at a time, and I have no doubt that living the Max Muscle lifestyle is the primary reason I now have such great health and abundant energy.

Why Max Muscle?
I joined Max Muscle to begin an honorable and successful career in the health and fitness industry. Prior to joining Max Muscle, I was an accomplished IFBB Figure pro and full-time personal trainer. I was looking for something that was more dependable, and more challenging. Corry Matthews (Co-Owner) and I were both working with the same trainer Mike Davies out of Ohio (we both won our Pro Cards at Team Universe in 2006) when she and her business partner Kristin approached me about the idea of becoming the business manager for the NEW Max Muscle in Virginia. It was exactly what I had been looking for. I have represented other supplement companies over the years, but nothing has compared to the knowledge, passion and fun I have at Max Muscle Sports Nutrition. Helping people reach their health and fitness goals is priceless and brings true joy to my career. I have used Max Muscle products since 2006 and I stand 100% behind the promise that Max Muscle Sports Nutrition is the Authority on Sports Nutrition.

DUSTIN
Why Max Muscle? I joined Max Muscle to see results, and to gain more knowledge. As soon as I walked into my first Max Muscle, I could tell it wasn’t like any other supplement store that I have ever been in. The staff sat me down, and discussed my goals, and the correct supplements to achieve those goals. It was not supplements shoved in my face like other places, but gaining knowledge on how these supplements worked. I was so impressed, I came back the next day and asked for a job! Being active duty Marine Corps, I need to stay in the best possible shape that I can, and with the knowledge and guidance that Max Muscle gives me, it keeps me at the top of my game. I love to pass on the knowledge that I have learned since I have worked here to other people, that way I can hopefully help someone the way that I was helped.
