Highly recommend. I'm a certified personal trainer, and my journey with the Maximus Fitness Accelerator began during its Kickstarter launch. The immediate and noticeable change in the intensity of my workouts back then was a pleasant surprise, and it kept me motivated to push my limits. The device became a versatile tool in my fitness arsenal, supporting my training for various training activities, including mixed martial arts, obstacle course racing, and triathlon. After seeing results, including boosted endurance, a lower resting HR, and improved sleep, I've recommended it to clients, fellow weekend warriors, and coaches. Exercising smart is paramount to me as a fifty-year-old guy. I have dual essential goals of improving my physical performance while protecting my body for the long run. The Maximus Fitness Accelerator has allowed me to amp up the intensity of my workouts without adding potentially dangerous weight, reps, or time. It's a safe and effective way to push your limits, regardless of age or fitness level. It takes only a short time to adjust to exercising with the device, and it is very comfortable compared to other devices I've tried in this class. I started using it while walking my dogs, and shortly after growing more at ease, I incorporated it into my fitness regimen. I saw this device on amazon and decided it was time to invest in a new Maximus. I'll measure my outcomes over the next few months and follow up this review with any new results. Read more
This is such a simple way to kill two birds with one stone. If I'm going to spend the time and effort to exercise anyway, why not have something I can slip in my pocket or glovebox to make the workout more effective. I use the lung trainer while walking through the woods with a weight vest. The combo of the trainer and weight vest works out my respiratory muscles as I go up moderate hills at a walking pace ...and with low impact. I also have one in the weight room where it makes a great mouth piece to keep breathing, but add a bit of tension to weight training or HIIT. While I'm not tracking athletic performance gains, I can tell that my ability to activate my parasympathetic system with deep breathing throughout the day is improved because my lungs are used to the extra work. I appreciate that it's simple to combine with my favorite activities, easy to adjust the restriction and takes not effort to pull out and smile at folks and put right back in after they go by.

A couple of years ago, I had the good fortune of supporting the MAXIMUS Lung Trainer or 'FITNESS ACCELERATOR' on KICKSTARTER. For my contribution, I received an early prototype model which I used routinely to nothing short of EXCEPTIONAL RESULTS. I followed the enclosed directions to the letter in order to document my progress in Cardio & Strength parameters. It truly is just as it sounds, a FITNESS ACCELERATOR. I was able to reduce my 2.5 mile bike time by 30% while increasing hammer curls by 25%+. (AMRAP--As Many Reps AS Possible) Physiologically, my VO2 MAX, the single most important determinant of oxygen capacity/efficiency was increased by 26.47% (from 34 to 43 in 6 mos.!) as monitored by my GARMIN Vivosmart device. (See attached photos.) Whether you're looking to train for a particular event/race, a team or individual sport that requires peak physical conditioning or just want to be IN THE BEST SHAPE YOU CAN BE, the MAXIMUS LUNG TRAINER will help you achieve your goals faster with greater efficiency by getting to your target heart rate substantially quicker & training your lungs to maintain those levels for longer periods of time. It will truly give you a leg up on the competition. While I can't guarantee the MAXIMUS will add years to your life, it will most certainly add QUALITY OF LIFE to your years, all for less than half the price of a good pair of running shoes. I'm glad I was able to replace this indispensable, unique lung trainer now that it's available on Amazon. THANKS! BTW, I am 63 years YOUNG.;-) "We don't stop playing b/c we got old. WE got old b/c we stopped PLAYING!" CHEERS! Read more
This instrument exerts almost no pressure in your breathing and therefore provides no advantage. If you want to exercise your lungs and improve your lung capacity get the PowerLung. My pulmonologist was very pleased to learn that I was using it. It's like weight training with a 1 lb. weight or something that requires more exertion. Additionally, the adjustment on the Maximus Fitness Accelerator adjusts inhale and exhale at the same level and the difference between minimum and maximum settings is almost insignificant. The PowerLung lets you adjust in and out to separate levels. You'll get the best results with the PowerLung. Read more
I’ve been using the Maximus Fitness Accelerator during my workouts for a few days now, and I can really feel the difference. It’s super lightweight—just 1oz—so it doesn’t get in the way, and it adds just the right amount of breathing resistance to challenge my lungs. I’ve noticed better endurance and control during cardio sessions. It’s a simple tool, but it delivers real results. Great for athletes or anyone looking to level up their training! Excellent quality Read more
Its is alright but you have to use a nose clamp to get the full effect of it. Read more
