Great little place right across the way from the 24hr Fitness. Packed with great sports nutrition and supplements, this small shop host some of the most knowledgeable and kind people I have ever met. I came here looking for some whey protein and they not only helped me select the product best for me, but they also educated me on how my body would break down the product as well as the other products that I was using. They also have a fridge packed with cold drinks that are perfect for anyone in need of a recovery drink. Awesome place, Great people, Good products offered. They don't have as much product as like a GNC, but what they do carry is top notch. No store brands that are all filler. As such, prices reflect the product. A little more expensive, but hey... I pay more for a steak at a single sitting... so I will shell out for this stuff. read more

Typically, I come in with $150-200 in cash, walk up to the owner and I'm like, "Jack, I'm fat, shot out, recovering from a broken knee-cap, I'm ready to get back in shape, this is what i'm taking, what else do I need?" I seriously only end up spending about $100. This has happened to me a couple of times already. Then I say "Jack, I got another $80. 'Is there anything in here on top of what I already got that I could take to supplement my diet?" And 9 times out 10 he'll say "Nope, you're all set". I live in Downtown Sac and every time I go to GNC they always ask me, "Sir, Have you had your multi-vitamin today?" I promise they'll ask you that every time you go for the exit. They're always trying to sell me something, but with Jack he treats you like family, not a dollar sign. Jack's wife and sister work there too and they know their stuff. I could call in and ask the price on whey isolate, what flavor, how many g's of protein per scoop, how many scoops and their quick. I walk in there and Jack's not there, no problem. They know what time it is. It's also cheaper here. If Jack didn't know jack about supplements and had crappy customer service, I'd still come because the prices are so cheap. Just sayin'. read more

Jack is my dude when it comes to supplements and product knowledge. I have been coming to him for years. Hes even dropped off products at my house giving my busy schedule its hard to to get over to him. If your in the Downtown area and are looking for a new place for products hit him up. Hes a very cool guy and knows his stuff. read more

The only and I mean THE ONLY place I get my supplements from! Jack is super honest and knowledgeable on everything he recommends. I had no idea what I needed when I first went here. I get confused since so many options, he helped me pick out what I needed and what he thought would work best for me. due to his help and I have been able to loose 15+ pounds so far and I honestly think part of it is bc of the supplements that are helping me achieve my fitness goals. read more

I came in one afternoon when Cyci was at the front. I told her I came in for a new preworkout and some quest bars ($2.50 each, I know I can get them cheaper on bodybuilding.com but I would rather support local) but I had left my wallet in the car. She said I could take them now and pay later but I insisted I would just come back after my workout, I did. This time Jack was at the counter and we talked for a good 30 mins. He's like a friend now! I bought 7 quest bars and mentioned that I was looking for Cellucor C4. Although out at this location, apparently he was stocked at another store they own. He asked me what flavor and brought one in the next day for me. 60 servings for $39.95. Cheaper than online :) faster than if I would have ordered, and again I get to support local. I will definitely be back to buy some other things. Probably tomorrow! The personable owners and fair and honest prices will keep me coming back. They go above and beyond for their customers. read more

Been looking for ways to boost my protein intake. I'm no body builder, just a 40 something runner and cyclist with no interest in spending lots of time in the gym and even less talking to muscle guys about nutrition. Well, I'm so glad I went in! Jack (owner) is friendly, knowledgeable and is willing to take the time to explain how different products react in your body. The guy seriously knows his stuff and is interested in help YOU reach your goals, not selling you stuff you don't need. Go here and be happy. read more

I couldn't find it!! And when I called they had a recording saying they had to move due to the new arena and when only open for appointments, it's sad they had to move.. but I really wish they would have posted the update on Yelp, I made a special trip to get vitamins and suppliments because of the great reviews, so I was pretty disappointed. read more

Love this place! The owners run the store full time and know all the customers by first name. Very friendly and eager to help. Best variety of protein supplements I've ever seen from bars to drinks to even cookies! Free samples of supplements to try before you buy. They're happy to order anything you like that they don't carry. 10% off entire order for 1st time customers. If you pay cash, they'll pay the tax for you. read more

This place is awesome! The owners are both friendly,knowledgable and welcoming. It is rare to find a place to feel comfortable dropping 100-200$ but knowing the benefits of what you using and how to use them properly is what keeps bringing me back. They always let me try out new products and I really appreciate that. Cycioli and Jack are really cool people who just get it, idk if that makes sense but fellow Yelpers should definitely come here over other nutrition places that just rob you and don't listen to what u really need! read more

I have been here before and had great customer service from Jack in the past. However, today I waited for them to open only to get a "back in 5 minutes" sign. This is understandable, however I have now been waiting 20 minutes for an employee to arrive. I work as a personal trainer and will no longer be recommending this place to my clients considering that they are not open during the hours that are posted. read more

This place ROCKS! Love Jack, love the location, love the products. This is the place to go. Used to go to Max Muscle all the time but this place takes it all. Whatever you need, weight loss, muscle gain, they have it or they'll get it for you. Gotta go here! read more

Get all your supplements in one place. If they dont have it in stock they can usually order it for next day delivery. The owner Jack is very knowledgeable and patient. I love the assortment of cold drinks. read more

Hey everyone , My names Emery and i've been a customer at max nuitrition downtown for over two years and i've got to say it's one of the best nutrition shops in ALL of Sacramento , from there protein bars to pro hormones they are the best , Jack and Siccioli (excuse me if misspelled ) are the best duo out there , there prices are genuine and they always hook you up when they can , they are located conveniently across 24 fit which is great !. I remember times when i would leave the gym and head over there drained and exhausted from a workout and Jack would give me free samples of his protein shakes to re-fuel !!!! there is nothing more kinder than that , and that's what everybody should look for when looking for a nutri shop, these guys are dedicated and kind they are for the people with the people and there the ones to support because they always return the favor. read more

Great service!! Good prices!! Free samples!!! And first time buyers receive 10% off. Owner is very knowledgeable off all products!!

Great local business that is directly across the street from the always busy 24 hour fitness downtown. What makes this business stand out from other competitors like GNC is the warm personalized customer service and the killer prices. The same pre workout drink that I usually purchase at 24 for $4.50, I pay only $3 over here. Max Nutrition represents everything that is good about small local businesses and this is why I am a repeat customer. read more

They have a small place but everyone who works there is very knowledgeable and they dont try to up sell you. Whenever I shop at GNC I definitely feel like they're just trying to sell me whatever is most expensive where as at Max's they do the best to fit you with your needs. read more

Super friendly staff and great prices. Pay with cash and there is no tax! That alone makes it worth shopping here. If they don't have something you need they'll order it. Very knowledgeable about their products and it doesn't feel like they are pushing anything extra on you that you don't need. read more

Seriously the best nutrition shop around! I met Jack some odd 5 years ago when I wondered in just curious with little knowledge of what I wanted or needed. He talked to me for a good hour explaining the pros and cons to every item. Some nutrition shops they try and just sell you a bunch of things you don't need, but not here. He told me straight up I didn't need certain items I contemplated getting. He didn't try to over sale me just gave me the facts and guidance I needed. Since then him and his wife have gone above and beyond to help me on my physical journey of getting the best results my body possibly can. I would suggest this store to anyone and everyone who is looking to optimize their progression and performance. The most knowledgeable and helpful no BS place I've ever been. Can't say enough positive things about this business! read more

Ever since this store has opened I've been a loyal customer I get every thing I need for my pre and post workout needs , excellent prices , great and easy to access location across the street from 24 hour fitness downtown , has everything I possibly need and the workers are excellent I used to go to GNC and they wouldn't know about most of their products they were more of salesman , but these people will tell you everything and their honest about their products and also when I'm in a rush and don't have time to go home for a post workout drink I go across the street they have a huge fridge full of em Ill be coming here for years read more

Near internet prices with great products, Jack is as good of an owner as you will meet. Best part it's about half a mile from my house. No more shopping online for supps for me. read more

Very informative staff, Awesome prices, always samples with or without purchases. Very down to earth owner. Recommend going here if you have never been. Has helped me discover a lot about supplementation. read more
