COACH MAX

Max Clarkson has felt passionate about health, movement and wellness and the body's physical potential since his early life playing basketball as a kid, to playing for the University of Ottawa. His fitness journey has taken him through sport, powerlifting, gymnastics, handstands, calisthenics, mobility, rehabilitative exercise, to where he is now blending it all while focusing on floor-based skills like animal flow, handstands and soft acrobatics.

Max connects both personal training and Massage Therapy as hybrid modalities allowing him to serve in a more holistic way than one scope alone.

His methodologies of movement coaching blend teaching the fundamentals of key movement patterns, addressing movement limitations with mobility and myofascial release, and programming strength protocols on a solid foundation of the key movement basics.

With certifications in Animal Flow, personal training, and over a decade of experience as a registered massage therapist, his approach bridges the gap between movement and recovery. Whether you're dealing with pain, stiffness, or just want to feel more connected to your body, he offers practical, grounded support that meets you where you're at.

He helps people reconnect with their bodies through mindful movement, blending animal flow, rehabilitative exercise, functional training, and weight lifting.

He has made it his mission to help others unlock their own potential to achieve greater capacities to move and be well.

Max's current training passion is in gymnastics, handstands, soft acrobatics and animal flow. Blending his developed strength from years of training into floor based movement flow. Remembering that his why is to be embodied, access flow state, play and adventure in nature.
