Max Gomez - ON Coping with a Traumatic Injury & Depression, Lifelong Friendships Gone Bad, and Starting a Gym During a Pandemic

On this episode, I chat with Max of AMP'D Fitness. I first met Max during the pandemic when he started teaching fitness classes outside after the gym he worked at had to shut down. I knew his passion and determination would turn into something at a time when most people just pressed the pause button on work. And he did just that. In less than 2 years, Max opened not one but two dedicated gyms. Max is not a stranger to challenges and taking risks. He grew up racing dirt bikes. And he was really good at it. His last race changed his life forever in more ways than he even expected. He talks vulnerably about this and other experiences that have shaped him and his path in life. We talk about depression, losing life long friends, and becoming emotionally aware as an adult male. Max sees all of his challenges in life as lessons in how to keep moving forward. His ambition and dedication to making his dreams a reality are what great leaders are made of. You will be inspired and rooting for his success after hearing his story. Take a class with him and get to know him, you'll be a better human for it. Check him out at AMP'D Fitness!
