MaxLife Weight Loss and Body Balancing

$1800 for my 7 week program! They only care about money! The sales lady (no name tags) knew I live almost 3 hours one way, AND she knew the Black Friday sale was coming up! One greedy chick! Her office has a camera pointing to the customers chair! You have to sign a contract which says "if your Dr says not to do this plan you still have to pay." Jess the Health coach almost threw me out when I started to comment on my small weight loss! She refused to do my final measurements! Please learn from my mistakes! Go elsewhere! Customers service is poor at best!

Staff was very friendly and helpful. I purchased the online special for the infrared light therapy for $37.. I was told I get 2 sessions, but later in office was told only 1 session. Be aware. The tech measures you after you undress to underwear(good to wear something that covers) She marked her measurement areas with eyebrow pencils- (after light treatment measures again-noticed that the second set was lower on arms & thighs) of course the number is lower! I weighed myself the next morning and had not lost any weight.
I researched infrared therapy and it takes at least 20 minutes to rupture the fat cell. They give you 15 minutes. It is the higher range lights that are invisible to the eye that go deeper that open the fat cell. If you went every day it might work, or every other day @ 15 minutes. Obviously 20 minutes would be more effective, with fewer visits.
--After the treatment you go into a small room (like at a time share) and receive the sales pitch. It's expensive. $2000 up front! Don't do it. I told her 1) I have to discuss with my Doctor any intense program 2) anything over a few hundred I must discuss with my husband
Definitely can purchase equipment and do in the the convenience of your own home. Or go on Amazon and for $700 buy a pad that has 4 linked together with a timer. Yes they sell everything!
Maybe try an infrared sauna where you get more than 15minutes per visit. Groupon has 2 for $10 deal.
I am rating 2 stars because their staff, very nice and professional. The atmosphere is relaxing, so it was enjoyable. But very ineffective. I think the light therapy is a great idea but they don't leave you under the light long enough for it to rupture the fat cell. I chose not to buy their program after discussing it with my husband. We have an agreement to never give in to high pressure sales.

If you've been in a car accident, and are contacted about going to MaxLife Chiropractic, RUN AWAY!!! Go to a doctor first and if you need a chiropractor find an honest one yourself. One with multiple positive reviews from actual customers. One that will explain to you the fee structure up-front and can show that they're not going to over-charge you or milk the insurance company.

Our teenage son was rear-ended in a car accident. Out of the blue, someone called him and instructed him to go to MaxLife Chiropractic. Being too young to understand, my son thought it was the insurance company instructing him to go there, which was not the case. Apparently MaxLife Chiropractic hires 3rd party "ambulance chaser" firms that contact people in accidents and directs them to their chiropractic practice. When I later asked them about how my son was directed to them, I was told that his accident is "public record" and firms are free to refer people involved in the accident to MaxLife Chiropractic. I have no doubt this firm is paid by MaxLife for the referrals.

I attended my son's initial meeting with MaxLife and asked how this was being paid for. "Don't worry", "Insurance covers everything" was uttered during the meeting. What MaxLife didn't tell us was that they were going to rack-up over SEVEN THOUSAND DOLLARS of chiropractic service in 2 months. Just from 3 visits a week. That bears repeating. SEVEN THOUSAND DOLLARS IN TWO MONTHS. Just to put that in perspective, I go to a reputable and honest chiropractor on a regular basis. His office visits are $30 each. It would take me 233 visits, almost 1 year straight of business days, to rack-up the same amount of money MaxLife did in 2 months.

My son's car insurance covered the first $4,500 leaving him with a $2,500 bill. The bill is in his name. When asked how the other driver's insurance was going to pay for this, MaxLife then referred us to a specific attorney. MaxLife expects you to work with this attorney to milk the insurance company for a large amount of money to pay 1) the attorney's fat fee, 2) the outrageous chiropractor bill and 3) get some cash for yourself. The attorney claims he has no affiliation with MaxLife, but MaxLife gives-out his business card like candy.

Don't be naive and fall into this trap. If you've been in an accident, and are contacted to go to MaxLife, just steer clear of them and find a chiropractor on your own.

Everything and more that Connie says is true!!!
It's a starvation diet and they make you pay for essential oils to put in your home. They talk a good, fast talk, get you to sign on the dotted line and then wham! you find out it's a scam.
After the $30 consultation where they won't tell you a thing about the diet plan (I should have known right then it was a scam) I paid $1800 for 30 days on the diet. When the lady started telling me about all the additional stuff I'd need to buy and that I have to use a magic wand to be able to drink water and infuse my home with their essentials oils I knew it was a crock of BS!
You have to sign a sales agreement where it states you cannot say anything bad about them anywhere or they will sue you for $37,000. That is illegal and here's the proof:
The FTC states,
"Congress unanimously passed the Consumer Review Fairness Act to protect people's ability to share in any forum their honest opinions about a business' products, services, or conduct. Some companies had been using contract provisions - including their online terms and conditions - to threaten to sue consumers or penalize them financially for posting negative reviews or complaints. The new law makes that illegal."

I wish I would have checked Yelp first.

I paid a lot of money for this program and did not get the results they advertise. Not even close.

So, I decided I would try it again after a month of being off the program. When I called to ask if I could restart the program I was told after 21 days I could restart and I would have to pay the entire full price again. I'm sorry but it's not worth $$$$ and it sure isn't worth $$$$ X 2 to loose 20 pounds. I even asked them if they could negotiate a better price for me given the lack of results. They said they'd call me back which never happened.

I love the team at Maxlife. Everyone is so helpful, and they seem to know all the clients by name. The staff is knowledgeable, the facility is beautiful l, and the products are some of the cleanest I have ever seen. The program was amazing too. I lost about a half a pound per day, which was exactly what I needed to do to hit my goal weight. Thank you MaxLife!

This review is for Maxlife Weight Loss & Body Balancing, aka, Chiropractic. I'm hoping this review saves a bunch of people who are desperate for "healthy" weight loss from making a $2000 mistake like I did. First, your initial consultation will be QUICK for $30. I should have stopped with that. Then, the intake person will give you a bare bones idea of the program, you sign up if you want to (bad mistake!), and sign/initial a contract (VERY BAD MISTAKE), which of course, you haven't really read in detail. This prevents you from getting a refund when you find out after your next visit to begin the program that you were NOT told all the specifics of their program. The contract stated Absolutely NO REFUNDS -- even if your doctor recommends you should not be on it, or continue with, the program; BUT it also said you should contact your doctor before going on any weight loss program, however, they dangle the discount if you sign on the spot!! My Diet Example: My body apparently doesn't like lettuce, so NO salad, but I can have Elk Meat - ha! - I don't eat meat as a rule - so this was a great choice, but also NO chicken. And there are lots of rules about when you eat and what - not repeating proteins, etc. They determine this after you put your hand on what looks like a computer mouse and everything registers what food items you're supposed to have and what your body is lacking and/or doesn't like (hence "body balancing"). That's just the beginning. I could probably do the actual diet, but it's all the other details that boggle the mind. You get 5 dropper bottles of "magic" liquid for different things, e.g., Metabolic Boost, Detox, etc., Pink salt, 3 different "shake" mixtures, a magic wand to make alkaline water, and on and on. Also, they do Not tell you up front that in order for the diet to really work, you should use their (doTerra brand) moisturizers, shampoo, conditioner, lip balm and anything you put on your body because your body will "take the easiest fat source available to burn for energy" so if any of your personal care products contain oil, well...you get it...right? You also pay an additional $165 for essential oils and a diffuser (I already have one) but they don't tell you the details of that when you sign up - AGAIN - READ THE CONTRACT BEFORE YOU SIGN. Don't believe what they say you are signing and rush you through it like they did with me - just initialing certain sections, etc. I was so excited to sign up, I believed everything they said. In retrospect, they say "up to 30 lbs in 30 days." But when I spoke to the Dr., it's really 15-24 lbs for women -- for about $2000 -- oh, but that included the essential oils and diffuser...and because I paid (charged) the discounted amount up front, otherwise, it would have been $2500+. They had me at "discount." I've been on every diet, formal and informal, known to man - this is absolutely the biggest (diet program) mistake I have ever made but and I fell for it because they stressed the "healthy" and "body balancing" part. I did hear a radio personality vouch for it as well, so that had quite a bit to do with me signing. You just can't trust anyone though. They are even on Facebook, but you won't get the real picture by reading their "glowing" reviews and for the few negative ones, someone from Maxlife responds to them saying they are making false statements. Hope this helps anyone thinking about this program. BUYER DEFINITELY BEWARE and then make your own decision after understanding everything and reading the contract!!! It just might work for you if you can afford it.

This sounds like a similar program I did with another chiropractor. I lost 40lbs over 3 months but it all came back on and then some. This diet also included a few bottles of drops that helped prevent hunger, but I always felt crazy hyped up. They also provided a list of foods that met my genetic profile. Guess what - it was lean protein, whole grain carbs, vegetables and fruit. Not really any amazing revelation. When I went off the diet I crashed - physically and mentally. In sum - losing weight this fast is probably not good for your body. I think it messed up my thyroid and my adrenal. There is no magic solution - just an ongoing commitment to a reasonable diet and exercise. AND patience - it will take twice as long to take it off as it did to put it on, but if you start with a habit change vs a crazy temporary diet you will find success in the long run. Believe in yourself and not a too-good-to-be-true program.

I called a few times and there is no answer. They want you to leave a message to call you back. I decided to try back later to see if anyone would answer. But NO! They track you down from their Caller ID. They won't give out any information about a range of cost for the program, how much the supplements cost, or any costs at all - which was the whole purpose of my call. The woman was extremely rude, told me to Google and see how much other programs cost as she claims Weight Watchers cost $3000 and their MaxLife program is a fraction of the price of other weight loss programs. I inquired what fraction that might be but she has been trained not to answer. Keep in mind their website says you eat your own food on their MaxLife program. LOL! She became extremely defensive and then claimed she was 'one of the OWNERS!!" (Wow!) and she didn't like my questions and how I was speaking to her. Real professional. NOT. But it gets better. After I hung up on her she started TEXTING my phone number that she had gotten off her Caller ID (bcuz I didn't give it to her). She sent 9 separate text messages to set me straight about what a great and successful person she is, handling multiple businesses nationwide and how she hopes I get the help I need. NUT JOB.
