I’m Coach Marcus Perez, a former Division I football player at Northern Illinois University, where I competed as a Wide Receiver, Kick Returner, and Punt Returner.

Today, I’m a NASM Certified Personal Trainer, coach, and career firefighter with a passion for helping athletes and everyday people become stronger, faster, more explosive, and more confident.

I created Maximum Performance to bring real athletic experience and proven training principles into programs you can follow anywhere—from the field to the commercial gym to your own home.

Whether you’re chasing the next level in your sport or simply becoming a stronger version of yourself, the goal is the same:

Maximize Performance. Make Every Rep Count.
