Maverick Strength

Fantastic experience: I went to Maverick Strength for the first time and had such a great experience! Cody was amazing…he truly supports your personal goals. All the coaches were super friendly, helpful, and made me feel comfortable from the start. Marc did an incredible job teaching me the proper way and how to use the equipment safely, which was a big help for someone like me who was nervous to even step into a gym. What I love is that each coach brings something unique…their own strengths, energy, and support, and they are all amazing in their own way. No matter what your goals…whether you are a beginner like me, getting back into fitness, or just wanting to feel strong again, this gym is the perfect place. They genuinely want to help you succeed. Thank you Maverick Strength!

Fantastic experience: Cody and Andrew changed my life. I never knew I could look forward to going to the gym! I have been going to Maverick’s since 2018 and I have no intention of ever stopping. I am so glad I took the risk and signed up.

Fantastic experience: Maverick is a wonderful community of kind and encouraging folks! I started Maverick a month ago and already feel so much more energy, confidence and strength! I highly suggest Maverick for anyone looking for a fun place to move their body and build strength!

Fantastic experience: All of the coaches are awesome, super welcoming environment. Really challenging workouts but that’s what I’m there for!

Fantastic experience: Five stars for quality of coaching, cleanliness and leadership. I love the experience at maverick and look forward to each class.

Fantastic experience: I can't believe the customer service. I sent my first message at 10 pm while dealing with a flare up of a pre existing back issue. I was expecting to send the message and get a response in the next day or 2. Cody immediately messaged me back asking questions about the injury. We made an appointment and in just a half hour of putting me through some testing, Cody was able to determine the issue that had plagued me for the previous 15 years and developed a plan that has targeted the appropriate areas. My life changed that day! I can't recommend anything on this planet more than Cody at Maverick Strength.

Fantastic experience: I am impressed with the level of knowledge of the trainers. The atmosphere is positive and encouraging. I look forward to my workouts and seeing others in my session.

Fantastic experience: Cody and his team of professionals have helped take my fitness to the next level. This is a life changer, I wish I got started sooner. My mental clarity and overall health has skyrocketed. Get in here, do the work and see the results.

Fantastic experience: I joined Maverick while staying in Nelson for a month and had a great experience. The classes, community, and programming were all excellent, offering a well-balanced mix of strength and conditioning. Instructors were knowledgeable and friendly. Highly recommend !

Fantastic experience: Before I joined Maverick, I was a shell of myself. Tired, unhappy, out of shape. I knew something had to change, but I wasn't sure where to start. Through a combination of Cody's nutrition guidance and tailored, semi private training sessions with Carlie, week by week I felt everything begin to change. Starting with an instant increase in energy levels, this was a huge motivator that kept me showing up to the gym consistently. The regular check ins on progress were also a great way to keep the motivation going. It's one thing being able to feel a difference in your body, but when you actually see the numbers too, it's a remarkable feeling. I can quite honestly say that joining Maverick has been the best investment I have ever made. I've formed lifetime habits in just six months time and the results keep on coming, even though it feels almost effortless and second nature to me now. Thanks so much to Cody and the team! You're all awesome

Fantastic experience: Life changing experience. They have lots of patience for an old guy new to working out, yet still give enough push to help meet my goals. Great people, great vibe. Highly recommend. 10/10!

Fantastic experience: MAVERICK is amazing! I absolutely love their group classes—they’re always so energetic and motivating. This is my third month, and I’ve already noticed such a difference in my energy levels and overall fitness. On the days I’m lucky enough to work out with a playlist mixed with Spanish, it’s even better! The instructors are great at keeping you motivated, and the friendly vibe from everyone in the group makes it such a welcoming space. If you’re looking for a place that pushes you to be your best while keeping the energy high and fun, MAVERICK is the place to be!

Fantastic experience: First and foremost I was VERY skeptical of this gym as I wasn't sure it was for me. I have always avoided crossfit after a pretty intense injury I gave myself at a crossfit trial class in Ontario. After lots of online research I ended up booking my husband and I for a consult and met with Cody. We went over program options and we opted for the semi-private program (it's us and another in our workout group). Not only do we have the best coach around (thanks, Marc!) but after weeks of work and their nutrition program I'm feeling results myself and my ability to lift has me so stoked on what 2025 has in store. The gym is approachable and the coaches & other clients are so friendly. Although I'm not likely to join the group class, I can see the appeal for those into a more hybrid train x crossfit type thing. I personally have enjoyed the semi-privates as I get some one on one instruction / coaching and have been able to really build some serious gym confidence. Thank you to the whole Maverick team and esp our coach, Marc!

Fantastic experience: Maverick offers a welcoming and supportive environment no matter what level of fitness you are at. Their team is knowledgeable and friendly & they make themselves available to help their members reach their goals. I love the amount of space and equipment available. It's located in a large over sized warehouse with lots of fresh air and up to date equipment. It's the amazing people that make it a complete package.

Fantastic experience: Maverick is a great way to get in shape in a supportive group atmosphere, where there’s a balance of one-on-one attention and feeling like you’re in the experience together with a group. The structure hits all areas of fitness, with stretching, cardio and strength training, and the instructors are great at encouraging you to go at your own pace but also to push your limits without hurting yourself. what’s changed for me is my view of fitness. Rather than being a chore, it’s something I look forward to every day. It’s my meditation.

Fantastic experience: I have been at Maverick Strength for 2 full months now. It has been the best decision I've made in years! I love the personalized attention, in terms of guidance, training, and figuring out the best way to achieve personal goals. I have achieved so much in just 2 months, some days I am shocked at the progression. It has been life changing! More than I had even hoped, in a short period of time. I am already in the best shape I've been in probably the last 10+ yrs. The personalized monthly guidance from Cody has motivated me tremendously, because I discovered after the 1st month that his guidance works if I follow it! I love the small group training sessions with Mike. He has helped me with my training immensely, and pushes me every day I am in the gym. I love having such a knowledgeable trainer to teach me, motivate me, and give that much needed training support. Thanks Mike! Maverick Strength has become my home when it comes to training, will remain that way for the foreseeable future, and I look forward to what I can accomplish while being a part of the Maverick community. Thanks again to Cody & Mike! Cheers.

Fantastic experience: I am a few weeks into the Maverick "on-ramp" they have for new folk and I'm super happy with them so far! One-on-one sessions to get me familiar with form and the gym were arranged to match my schedule and helped me build routine and confidence. Cody and Jericho are informative, supportive, but also pushed me enough to help me feel ready to start classes. All the people at the gym have been very friendly. Can't wait to start classes next week!

Fantastic experience: Maverick has been the corner stone of my life for the past 4 years. The team/family environment Cody has created is unlike anything I’ve ever been apart of. It was hard to believe how friendly and supportive everyone was at first.. the secret to it all you ask? Mavericks members are all there for the same reason: to walk out better versions of themselves each and everyday. Simple as that. Coming from a history in sports, I thought I had the gym figured out for the most part… that couldn’t have been further from the truth! Sure I could handle all the basic movements, but my form was no where near where it was supposed to be… when I started doing Semi-Private training with Mike..that’s when gains went nuclear. It wasn’t before long until we were adding serious weight to the bar, and making some massive personal gains in the gym. Mike is a huge part of why I love Maverick and has become a close friend to myself and many others at the gym. The “High Performance” class at Maverick was a devision created the summer of 2022, let by Ryan Reid, for those looking to push themselves in a more CrossFit direct atmosphere. Coming from a history in coaching and competing, Ryan’s class found a group of athletes within maverick (including myself) who got hooked immediately. Many competing for the first time this past fall (2022) in a CrossFit competition organized by Maverick. Aside from all that, Ryan is intelligent, strong, supportive, and pushes you to be better every day. The High Performance class has its own family of athletes within Maverick and are welcoming with open arms anyone who wished to join. I can’t say enough about Maverick and the team they have here. They’re friendly, loving, kind, hardworking, and only want to see the best from you. Thank you everyone who’s been apart of my journey there the past years.

Fantastic experience: I've been a member of Maverick Strength and Fitness for over four years now. Joining the Maverick community changed my life. When I first moved to Nelson I was not in good shape, mentally or physically. When I decided to join a gym, Maverick stood out. Not because there are rows of shiny equipment (there aren't any), but because of the thoughtful, comprehensive and thorough onboarding process the gym owner, Cody, put me through. It was clear from the outset that this was not a normal gym where people with high end shoes go to do wrist curls and stare in the mirror (there are none on the gym floor) - this was a functional space dedicated to personal improvement. Over time, going to Maverick on an almost daily basis has become the cornerstone habit that has allowed me to shed bad habits (drinking, smoking, eating badly, sleeping erratically) and develop good ones (self discipline, self confidence, eating well, keeping a consistent schedule, among others). What keeps me coming back is the community. I've never been a part of a gym that has such an amazing group of supportive people dedicated to improving themselves and others. Combined with bespoke personal training and nutritional advice from Mike, Ryan and Jess, and constant positive reinforcement from Laena, Maverick is a welcoming and inclusive community. I consider it a laboratory where I can consistently and safely push my boundaries while constantly striving to improve myself. The results speak for themselves - over the past few years, physically I have developed from a weak, insecure and overweight individual who could not get through an intake session without vomiting to a reasonably fit middle aged guy who can comfortably squat or deadlift 300 lbs. I even took part (and along with my fitness partner Thomas, won our category) in a fitness competition last year. More importantly are the mental benefits. By constantly challenging myself I've developed the mental strength and resilience necessary to improve all aspects of my life. Maverick allows you to push yourself as hard as you want to. By making my daily workout the hardest part of my day, I am far better equipped to take on life's challenges. For anyone considering joining a gym, join Maverick. It is more than just a gym - it is a fulcrum you can utilize to tip the balance of your life in a positive direction.

Fantastic experience: I recently had the pleasure of joining Maverick Strength and I must say, it has been one of the best decisions I have made in terms of my health and wellness. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with warm smiles from the staff and a welcoming atmosphere. One of the highlights of my gym experience has been joining the High Performance programming ran by Ryan Reid. He is not only knowledgeable about fitness, but has a genuine passion for helping others achieve their health and fitness goals. Maverick creates workouts that are both challenging and fun, and their encouragement and support have been invaluable in keeping me motivated and on track. I have already seen great results in my physical fitness and I am confident that with Maverick’s guidance, I will continue to reach new milestones. Overall, I highly recommend this gym to anyone looking to improve their health and fitness. The staff, facilities, and trainers are all five-star quality and I am grateful to be a part of such a supportive community.
