Be aware people, this place wants to sell you stuff that you do not need! The guy working there has zero knowledge about how body works and gives you dangerous and wrong advice! He showed me the basal metabolic rate on the report and told me to eat about that much to lose fat!!!! Dude, undereating is a big problem among women and causes both mental and physical illness! You are showing the wrong path and it is just terrible and very scary! read more

So my fiancé and I are new to the area... We started working out at retrofitness down the street and I told the fiancé to pick a shop that we would call our home for supplements... He went with max muscle because of the name LOL! We were pleasantly surprised by the insurmountable knowledge the guy was giving us when inquiring on bcaas and protein shakes. I forgot his name, but he's the tall Caucasian dude with the dreds! Made us feel comfortable and recommended items based on our goals. No pressure buying items also. Great customer service. Originally from SoCal and asked if they had LVFT and they do! Unfortunately not for females! Boo! Signed up for the rewards! Let's see how that goes! Will be back again! read more

Really well stocked and great service! Stopped by cuz my hubby wanted to get some weight lifting gloves. They had the glove he was looking for but not in the correct size. But was my first time here so I looked around and took some photos. They have all kinds of nutritional supplements and clothing!! Great customer service too! read more

Great service and everyone is knowledgeable on what your needs are! They gave me a great recommendation for my protein shakes.

Why do they never come in on time? It must be a trend in the health and nutrition industry. GNC was the same damn way. Best time to go is in the middle of the day, when you know they'll most likely be there. Love their Max Muscle Gourmet shakes. They have the best flavors ever and some of them have flax, which can help with digestion. Because we protein shake drinkers know what shakes can do to our bodies. They also have different type of shakes for all types of reasons. I'd say come here, try their shake. They stand by their product and when you purchase a jug, you get a free shaker! read more

Ruuudddddeee!!!! I will not return to this location ever again, the guy with the dread locks is so rude and just sits there doesn't give you a warm welcoming. There's people training in the front door blocking the entrance. If you want good customer service go to another location! read more

Exceptional owner and exceptional selection of high quality products. Brandon is very knowledgeable and genuinely passionate about nutrition and fitness. read more

First of all AWESOME customer service! John helped us and was VERY knowledgeable! Crazy big inventory of any supplement you could ever need as well as a good bunch of exercise cloths for all kinds of exercise/weight training etc. I got the InBody Test done on the machine, and now I can show my trainer (who highly recommended them) and return with a list of stuff I need! Can't wait to come back and stock up!! read more

I LOVE this place! Everyone is awesome, but John is by far my favorite. They make me feel welcome, they answer all of my silly questions, and I am always greeted with a smile. The store is stocked with TONS of different products (like Flavor God seasoning and protein popcorn!!), and they even have nice apparel. So if you're thinking about changing your life with diet and exercise, come by and talk with John, and he will get you set up with a plan and some products. Or if you want to continue on your journey and stop going to lame places like GNC where their employees know nothing, then this is your spot. They are also on Door Dash! How cool is that?! read more

A friend of mine suggested this place to me when we were discussing protein bars and shakes one day (yeah - fascinating conversation for most of you I'm sure...). I have to say I'm so glad I found this place! The worker at the store (buff young buck...rarr) was totally helpful. He knew what he was talking about and I felt so much more secure in asking him for supplement recommendations over the Filipino grandmas that work at the GNCs in the malls. Their prices are cheaper than GNC too, and BYB (buff young buck) also told me that they would price match anyone if I found some items cheaper at another retailer. One thing though: I didn't understand why BYB kept telling everyone his weight? BYB: "Yeah this protein shake has better carbs for you. I weight 220." CUSTOMER: "Oh, okay... I was just wondering if I could see a size 8 in that Otomix weightlifting shoe right there...?" I don't know, whatever. I guess he was proud of it or something. read more

Yeah Marlyn A is right, the one thing that does suck about this location is that they always seem the have the crappiest hours. Whenever I do come, they're always closed even though the hours on their door says they're suppose to be open. The brand is good, never gonna knock them of that. I usually buy the Gourmet shakes because they taste the best. I used to buy their other brands because of their nutrient contents, they do help with muscular growth and bulking up if you need that stuff. The staff here is usually knowledgeable of their products so it doesn't hurt to ask a few questions if you don't know what you need. read more

Wow went in there today with my husband to get out Body Index done and as always the team there is just amazing. Brett was awesome, super knowledgeable, easy to talk with and happy to help. I go there for al my work out needs!! Thanks guys! Updated review!! As always Bob was amazing! He is well educated and always helpful! Always smiling too! Every Time I have gone in there he always helps me out and I leave more educated then when I came in! Awesome guy and awesome service! Thank youn Wow!!!! I am blown away! I came in yesterday 15 minutes to close to grab some protein powder and an hour later with the help of Brandon.. I have the right protein powder, a whole new work out plan, I am refocused, super excited and a lot less discouraged. Couldn't ask for a nicer, more professional , knowledgable man! He stayed after close to help me tweak my plan, break complicated things down for me and honestly just made me feel great about all the hard work I have put in. He didn't try to sell me any expensive products or tell me I needed to buy more things then I needed.. He simply listened and took the time to help another person out. We need more people like this in the world!! I would recommend this place over any other place for your products and advice. Made my day and so much more!!! Thank you!!! read more

I want to do 4.5 stars on this - Pros: Great selection, great products, John and Lance are very knowledgeable/helpful Cons: Price I go to these guys for pretty much everything in the supplement area and I drop like $200 a month. I have not had a lot of experience with Chris (he is the newest) but I rely on Lance and John to make informed decisions on the products I purchase. Their advice has proven helpful about 95% of the time. These guys are bodybuilders (or ex) so they know what they are selling - SO IMPORTANT!!! GNC, really? Snot nosed kids working at a retail store... The store is very well organized and never messy - not sure if the others caught them on a stocking day or something..? There is an MMA element to the store but I am sure that is because there is local demand for the product. I have found most of the products they have on line cheaper but will continue to go to the store to support the people who are actually helping me. read more

Overall great place to get supplements! I was given great advice and it's definitely better than GNC in my opinion.

The staff here is very friendly and knowledgeable and will take the time to answer all of your questions. I've been here twice and the first time Jon helped me and the second time Lance did; both guys are great! Quest bars here are the best deal in town! Only $1.69 each or $20 for a box. Can't beat that deal! read more

Oh yea...I totally love getting beefed up on this stuff. I love the way it tasted too. I love tacos too, but I like getting muscles waaaay more!!! Beefcake 5000!!!!! read more

Came in today for some protein powder and supplements. Left with my products and a smile on my face. John was working and this guy is super knowledgeable and completely awesome. I will definitely go back to this location. The shop is clean, prices are competitive. My goal is to get lean and the information I received from John today is going to help me reach my goals. Thanks John, you're awesome exclamation point read more

I orginally came here looking for some new boxing gloves and was pleasantly surprised. Besides having a TON of fight gear and apparal, the pricing was also very fair and competitive. Alot of places charge a ridiculous markup so it was nice to not have to pay extra and not have to wait as opposed to buying from a website to ship it. Supplements wise, I didn't ask about anything but pricing seemed OK at best. read more

First-time customer went in today left feeling great went in feeling confused left feeling knowing what to do stayed in there about 40 minutes as Brandon explained everything I would need to do for my body to get back on track I never felt once he was jiving me super calm knowledgeable and very very helpful He didn't make you feel rushed nor did he make you feel like you needed to buy all these things you can tell he truly did care about getting me help and not just trying to get rid of product I will definitely be back parking is a little small in the front but there is plenty of parking on the side Prices range good assortment of options thanks Brandon blessings dude read more

These guys of been in business a very long time and are very friendly and knowledgeable when I go in there they have different types of people that work there from powerlifters bodybuilders vegans (Nutritionalist) you name it great spot to get some good advice and some good products they know their stuff. Much love Max muscle you know whats up read more

Lance was quite friendly and helpful with his information. The place is pretty sweet and definitely has most of what you'll need in terms of workout supplements, pre/during/post workout, etc. and Lance is quite informative. As for MMA gear it's nearly the only store supplying it in the San Jose/Campbell/Los Gatos area, so it's like going to Toys R Us if you're a martial artist. The gear is on the pricey side, as gear often is. But that's to be expected as Max Muscle supplies ONLY quality products and brands, so if you're ready to invest and stop buying your gear at Big 5, this is the place to do it for a 408 fighter. I'd certainly come back to support local business and guarantee I get quality information and products, but if you're concerned about cost a number of things here could be purchased cheaper online. Additionally, it's a relatively small shop so it isn't decked out beyond imagination or anything, but it's got what you're looking for. 5 stars for great service, selection and quality, minus one star because everything here costs a pretty penny. read more

Huge Shout Out to Bret Tomey who basically stopped everything he was doing to give me a 30 minute educational and nutritional assessment overview this morning!! What a seriously educated nutritionalist who gave me some serious tips to help me lose fat and regain control of my body!! Bret your the man thank you so much I have been and will remain a loyal cisym read more

Been coming here for years. I love the fact that I don't feel like I'm being sold. The guys will definitely point you in the right direction. I've dealt with John the most, he's the man! They're all great people, and the products are awesome. read more

Most professional staff that any max Muscle Nutrition locations have! Used to order from Bodybuilding.com ( which I have no issues with) but now I go straight to where they have everything I need in stock here at this location. And the best part is the guys here coach you and break down what supps to take and when to take em depending on your goals. Located 35 Min away from me but it's well worth it! Best prices and best staff! Thanks! read more

Didnt catch the guys name but he was super helpful. Im new to the area and he made me feel super welcome, will definitley be visiting again soon! read more

Lance is a really strong guy who looks like what you'd want to look if you were ripped up! I would take his advise and supplement experience to heart and apply if if I already didn't respect him that way.It appears Max as a franchise really does want to compete in the supplement/nutrition market given their blends and sate of the art mixtures of ingredients and formulas to produce results we all want right? I lift and want to manage my weight! there are lots of people in and out of here that can and will give you the help you need and want-free*,the nice price! Take it all in,ingest and reflect than go here and buy some supplements and live longer,healthier and lighter! :) That's my goal and edge! Thanks Lance! Bring it! :) read more

I had no idea that each Max Muscle is independently owned. Though I typically go to the Blossom Hill location because it is near my work, this spot is located closer to my house. Upon entering, I was kindly greeted by a very upbeat guy. I immediately saw the wall of Max Pro protein powder and decided on getting the s'mores flavor. I also browsed around to check out what else they had that would catch my eye. In the fridge up front, they have tons of Muscle Egg in a variety of flavors, so that's great to know. I was also tempted to get a new meal prep carrier and lifting gloves. However, I had to restrain myself. It was also awesome that I was looking for a quick meal prep spot, so the gentleman suggested I go down the street to Lean Feast. Overall, whenever I need to restock on my protein or supplements, I'll definitely make my way to this Max Muscle. read more

Nice hours and reliable inventory, but quite pricey... I mean... $26 for a gi's belt? Some regular complete gis(pants, jacket and belt) usually go for 100-150 $. You be the judge- but regardless, a real nice and complete store read more

The guys here are top-notch professionals. It's a small shop that has all the right stuff. They don't carry everything because they personally weed out all the crappy supplements. Be sure to ask Bret or any of the other pros here for advice!! read more

The absolute authority when it comes to sports nutrition! When i decided to take my fitness goals to the next level and train for my first bodybuilding contest, Max Muscle was my first, and now my only choice when it comes to supplementation! Thanks to Lance and his knowledgeable staff, i was able to win my class at my first contest in 2010! If you are serious about nutrition and supplementation, then there is no other choice! read more

Love Max Muscle. Lance always takes the time to answer my crazy questions. The first time I walked in I explained I was struggling to blast the last bit of stubborn body fat and Lance asked me about my diet. He went through every meal with me and helped me adjust things and gave me tips on supplementation. Since then I have been hooked. I have tried plenty of other stores and I am iffy on the sales associates knowledge and the products quality. Nutrition is really important and I trust Max Muscle with my supplementation! read more

After trying the one on Blossom Hill, I thought this would be the same... since it's "MAX MUSCLE"... Oh my god! I'll never go back there, it's totally different from the one on Blossom Hill... The guy didn't even bother to ask if I need anything considering I would get lost in that un-organized store! He was on the phone the whole time I was there.... Store was dirty and messy... Shelves were empty and stuff were all over the floor.... not mentioning that they are all fight gears! it was an scary experience... I will drive to the one on Blossom Hill, it's much better! read more

I've been to a few Max Muscles and this place has the supplies and supplements but it also has a large stock of fight gear and fight apparel, i.e. Tapout, Sprawl, etc.. Worth checking out, great stuff. read more

Stopped by to grab some BCAAs and look for new prework out. First time there and will def be back! Bobby helped me out with a new preworkout and hooked it up (: THANKS BOBBY! read more

I don't understand why these other reviews were so negative. I went in yesterday and Lance helped me. He was amazing. He knows his stuff. I almost didn't go in because of the bad reviews but I would have missed out on getting some valuable information. Highly recommend. read more

This place is the best. I've been coming here from day one. Ive competed in six shows and won five. With the guidance of Lance and these products I have changed my physique and attitude toward fitness. I am a master trainer and recommend them religiously. There's a reason this place has been here for so long. If you're a Fighter, bodybuilder or the average person this place has what you need to change your life and achieve your goals. In all honesty if you hear otherwise its just some asshole who has never set foot inside. read more

Great place! I'm here like once a week and lately they've done a great job keeping all your needs available. I was looking for a replacement Gi and Lance got me my Koral in a week as promised and under internet cost. I also get great advice on supplements to martial art applications. Very happy with this joint! read more
