Limitbreakers Values
Limitbreakers Character Rules
The foundation of the 3 Limitbreaker Rules drive our coaching and leadership philosophy. We believe by becoming disciplined in these rules, athletes and coaches develop a strong character base and mental discipline to be leaders in and out of the gym. Being a limitbreaker is a lifestyle and these rules are the foundation for applying great leadership into all aspects of life!
- Act older than you are.
- Keep an open mind and open heart.
- Sit in humility and rise in responsibility
Limitbreakers Story
We started coaching together in 2014 at a gym located in Alexander City. We quickly realized we had the same values & beliefs when it came to pouring into the next generation. We share the importance of instilling strong characteristics through the disciplines of athletic integrity, leadership, and skill. We have been coaching together ever since and think of each other's families as family.
We have been implementing parts of Limibreakers Leadership with our current athletes for the last 5 years, making it a formal part of lesson planning. We not only believe that developing and communicating with athletes around the mental, emotional, spiritual and leadership aspect of this sport has a benefit for the athletes, but we’ve witnessed it work in your kids as they work to break their own limits and overcome challenges they face in an outside of the gym.
We have also come to realize it affects our culture when we have not prioritized minimal, bi-weekly limitbreaker leadership lessons. We are excited at the opportunity to continue to build strong leadership characteristics and to develop their core values that will not only help them in gymnastics but will impact them for the rest of their lives.
About the Founders
Miranda Sexton
My family includes me, my husband, Jay, our daughter, Collier, our sons, Smith and Reeves, and our dog, Duck. My husband grew up in the Auburn/Opelika area and we met while I was in college. I completed my associate’s degree at Central Alabama Community College, my undergrad at Auburn University, & my masters at Arizona State. I began my coaching career at the young age of 14 as a volunteer and began coaching competitive gymnastics in 2012 at the finish of my senior year of high school. I coached throughout college and then continued to coach up the finish of my degrees. After much dilemma & deliberating in my heart over many years, coaching and impacting our next generation through the sport of gymnastics and health & fitness ultimately exposed itself as my calling. I’m more motivated than ever as a gym owner to continue doing just that for the families and athletes in this community.
Max Allen aka Mr.Limitbreaker
Max Allen is a dedicated coach, mentor, and leader, passionate about helping others break through their limits and unlock their full potential. Born and raised in Tuskegee, Alabama, Max moved to Montgomery at a young age, where he cultivated a deep love for sports. A promising athletic career was suddenly halted by injury, but rather than letting that define him, Max found a new path—one that led to his lifelong passion for coaching and leadership. Max has been coaching tumbling since the age of 15, using his own experiences to guide and inspire athletes. A graduate of Jefferson Davis High School, he went on to attend Auburn University, where he became an Auburn cheerleader. After one last attempt to pursue football, Max found himself at a crossroads, facing a deep identity crisis and battle with depression. But through prayer, fellowship, and hard work, he emerged with a new purpose—the realization that true leadership comes from within. This revelation became the foundation for Limitbreaker Leadership, a curriculum designed to help individuals develop their character, resilience, and leadership skills. With over a decade of leadership training under the guidance of Karen Wilson and Mary Wendt of USASF, Max developed his own three Limitbreaker Character Rules, principles that have helped countless athletes and leaders grow beyond their perceived limitations. His expertise has taken him nationwide, teaching at high-performance gymnastics camps, including Auburn University’s and the University of Alabama’s elite programs. His philosophy is clear: leadership isn’t found in a title or position—it’s how we choose to lead ourselves through our actions, thoughts, and habits. Above all, Max is a devoted husband to Sydney Allen and a proud father to their two beautiful children, Jada Marie Allen and Titus Alexander Allen. Through Limitbreaker Leadership, he is committed to building a legacy of strong, disciplined, and purpose-driven individuals who can push past any barrier in front of them.
