What is "Super Slow"?
The method incorporates very slow repetition speeds as compared to traditional resistance training methods, with emphasis on minimizing acceleration to reduce the force the body is exposed to during exercise and improve muscular loading. Super Slow workouts typically consist of one set of anywhere from as few as two to eight exercises, often primarily compound movements, performed with little rest in between. The 10 second lifting, 10 second lowering repetition speed was originally suggested by Dr. Vince Bocchicchio to Ken Hutchins, who further developed the protocol during Nautilus-funded osteoporosis research at the University of Florida in the early 80's. Very slow repetitions are safer and more effective than conventional repetition speeds.
"Super Slow"sounds hard; is it safe for a beginner?
Slow repetitions are beneficial to trainees working around injuries or conditions requiring extra caution, and may be useful for practicing proper form when learning new exercises. Because this protocol was based around rehab before it was modified for personal training, safe and easy manipulation of the body while training is always a mainstay. Let's face it, if "Super Slow" is safe for a rehab patient, a personal training client wishing to get in better shape with no injuries or other such issue is already ahead of the curve.
How often do I train?
At Maximum Results we take a more purist approach to the "Slow Burn Method". We train twice a week, for 30 minutes. All workout's are total body, and take the approach of intensity, and effectiveness over volume. When training, the harder and more effective something is, the less you have to do it. And in today's fast paced world, do you really want to be spending hours in the gym for sub-par results? Here at Maximum Results we ask for 1 hour, out of your 168 hour week.
What kind of results can I expect? What changes in my body should I look for?
In a very short period of time Maximum Results clients notice strength gains, and a general feeling of wellness. Some other changes you can expect include.

What sets you apart from the average gym?
The quiet, climate controlled training studio is an innovation in training. By limiting noise, visual distraction and outside interruption, we place our clients in the perfect environment for spawning some of the most intense, efficient and effective exercise experiences in Virginia. Our clients train one on one with a certified trainer in a private, non intimidating environment. When you train at Maximum Results, for your session, the center, the trainer, and the equipment is yours!
I have never heard of MedX equipment before, what is it, and why is it better?
MedX is the most technologically advanced fitness, sports and medical/rehabilitation equipment available. The capabilities of MedX equipment are unprecedented. Each piece in the product line is designed to achieve efficiency in training by offering resistance curves matched to tested and proven stretch profiles. MedX strength training machines operate at a very low level of friction and offer a choice of resistance in 2-pound increments. This maximizes a trainee’s chances of setting a weight that’s just right - not too heavy and not too light – for rapid and steady progress. Bio mechanical precision and low-friction operation make MedX state of the art.
How do I get started?
Maximum Results offers a free hour long consultation to all. During this session that is of no cost to you, we will go over you health history, your exercise history, your wants, your needs, and how we can help you. After our discussion time, you are taken into our facility with one of our certified trainers, and you are given the same unbelievable workout that all our clients get, to insure that we are the right fit for you.
How long will I keep getting results? Will I plateau like I have so many times, in so many other programs?
Yes you will keep getting results, and No you will not plateau. Maximum Results is based in on a protocol that is predicated on muscle failure over specific weights and reps. With traditional progressive overload principles that most programs are based off of, it is very easy to get stuck and train in a rut for periods of time; because these systems are based on you, the trainee, increasing your weights to get better results every week. With Maximum Results, failure is the key! As long as your muscle fibers have been taxed to their max, weight does not really matter, and because we can take small 2 pound incremental jumps instead for 5 or 10, we can more precisely train you at the level you are at now.
Since Maximum Results is not a public gym how is scheduling determined?
We at Maximum Results try to accommodate every clients need when it comes to their scheduling. Because of the special attention each and every one of our clients receives, specific times must be set to guarantee they are getting to attention and results they need. Cancellations are not a problem! We understand everyone has a busy life, and we try to be as accommodating as possible with reschedules, every time a session is missed. We want you in twice a week, and are ever willing to stay past normal hours to assure you are getting the results you expect.
Does Maximum Results have any incentive programs?
Yes we do! Maximum Results has many ways clients can win and/or earn more sessions for free! Our many programs change constantly, but these programs run all year long to give our clients the opportunity to get extra training at no cost to them!
