Max Muscle

On my first visit to max muscle, I went in looking for a new pre workout since I had ran out of my Jacked3D and also for some protein as I was looking to lean up for the coming summer. A very helpful woman at the counter was quick to help me find some options, asked what kind of stimulants I had used, what I was used to, what I needed them for, and so on. She really got in depth to help me find a pre workout and a whey/​casein mix that she let me try a sample of so I knew I liked the taste. Amazing!
On my second visit, I had come back to see if I could return the pre workout since it was too intense and was making me nauseas. With no qualms the guy at the register refunded me my money, and gave me 3 samples of other pre workouts to try for next time. Amazing customer experience and I felt very taken care of

I work out and try so many kind of protein but I never like the taste. I went to Max Muscle for the first time and James took the time to help me and I finally got some proteins that works and taste great. Will come back again!

Showed up a few minutes before closing and had a great experience. Matt is friendly, knows what he’s talking about, and clearly likes what he does. He price matched the product against the internet so I’d get the best deal without my asking. Will be coming back.

This place is THE BEST. Everyone is spot-​on with their five star reviews – it’s the staff (I’ve only met Matt) that mostly makes this place fantastic. Matt, who had only met me once, remembered my name after I came in three weeks following my first visit. He welcomed me and even remembered what products I bought during my first. Again, this was THREE weeks prior to that second visit. This is truly the type of customer service that companies would only dream of ever providing.
Matt also knows everything. He provides excellent advice and guidance and knows the literature well (he keeps up to date with research and studies examining the effects of various supplements). I actually just got off the phone with Matt just now after asking him advice on stacking certain preworkout supplements. I can say with confidence that he’s actually better than my nutritionist at OneMedical.
They also only carry quality products and never up-​sell/​pressure you into buying anything you don’t need. I live in San Francisco and I’m proud to drive up here.
Keep up the five star work Max Muscle – you guys are amazing.

Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Reasonable prices for a fairly large selection of supplements. Will definitely be going back. We have been buying our supplements from the store for several months now. We feel like we know the employees.

I walked into Max Muscle in San Rafael back in late 2011. I meet store manager, Matt Cooper and the rest as they say is history. Matt spent an unbelievable amount of time talking with me about my current situation and my goals. I was starting a weight loss program and Matt answered all the questions I had about what products would help me reach my goal.
I’m still in the store a few times a month and am always warmly greeted and treated like I’m appreciated. The customer service provided by all the employees at Max Muscle is second to none. Try going to a GNC and get this level of service or knowledge and you’ll be running back to see Matt at Max Muscle.

Great place for supplements! The people who work there are very helpful.

Max Muscle in San Rafael deserves your business. If you’re serious about working out, athletics, or just overall wellness/​nutrition, this is the place for you. They have a vast selection of products… but even with that in mind, it takes a professional, knowledgeable staff to make the difference. That’s where Matt & the Max Muscle staff come in — they are all friendly and know what they are talking about! Most times you’ll go into a GNC or Vitamin Shoppe and they don’t know the first thing about working out or nutrition (and it shows!) — but at Max Muscle… these guys are experts. I would recommend this to anyone who wants good products, a helpful staff, and a comfortable buying atmosphere. It’s cliché, but I can’t say enough good things about this place. Especially Matt — the general manager — he’s the best.

The Team at Max Muscle!!! knows there stuff!!!
They have Great Customer service!!! always there to help you!
People like Matt Cooper, and Staff!!! they know what will help you make your goals!
they are always willing to listen to what you have to say.
I tell my friends and people at the Gym to go and check the Store out!
You will not be Disappointed!!!
By the Way try the Emerge!!! its better then Coffee!

I came in earlier today. I am not sure what the guy’s name was, I should of asked… He was amazing! He knew products inside and out! I was hesitant about walking into the store, just because I am not a body builder or in shape… But he made me fellt welcome and helped me out a lot!

When I walk into Max Muscle Marin I am always greeted immediately. Everyone who works there knows my name and where I am at with my fitness, nutrition and personal goals. They always let me know about any new and improved products that have just come out and any specials they are running. They even did a free 7 point body fat test. At this point I am a loyal customer!

Just all around a great experience. The knowledge is second to none whether you are a cyclist, a triathlete, an aspiring MMA fighter or bodybuilder, or just a fitness fanatic looking to stay or get back in shape. It’s one of those places where you see people just hanging out — fitness family atmosphere. I’m greeted every time I walk in, but never hassled or have any product or brand forced on me. When I ask their opinion, I always get the pros and cons along with their expert advice based on my desired goals. I love how they interact with the community, and I never miss the special events they plan!

Muscle Max Marin has gone above and beyond with their individualized customer service and level of professionalism. These guys really know what they are talking about.
This was my first time purchasing supplements and I didn’t know too much about the products on the market. Austin asked the right questions to find out the best supplements for my lifestyle and fitness régime. He was genuine and patient as he helped me explore my options.
The MaxPro Chocolate Super Protein Concentrate has exceeded my expectations for a recovery drink. I will be giving Muscle Max Marin my business in the future.

Once again Matt and Austin deliver excellent service & pricing. Once you shop here you will never shop anywhere else.

These guys are amazing. Not only is the store packed full of amazing products but their knowledge and desire to help you is beyond any other nutrition store I have visited. I have been working with Matt on an individual nutrition plan and he has taken the time to answer all my questions and help me reach success. All the guys in the store are fantastic and always eager to help and or offer an alternative, even if that means going outside of what they have.
Definitely recommend them to anyone wanting to learn more about nutrition and have access to products that are safe and effective with out added sweetners or chemicals.
Thanks guys and I will miss you all when I move.

Max Muscle is an awesome supplement store. I used to use GNC, but I found Max Muscle awhile ago and only use their products now. They steered me in the right direction helping me out with what they call the core supplements. They have helped me take my workouts to a new level.

Tried to find something here that was useful and without added chemicals, but no such luck. Aspartame and the likes in many products. BEWARE.

max muscle has been the place I go to get my supplements. The first day I went in I was taken through the products by chris, he asked me what’s my goal and what I hope to gain. Right off the bat I started to see amazing results because max muscle products are trully the best you can get. I also followed a meal plan chris put together for me and I love the way I look because of his guidance. I’m ripped, have gotten stronger, and faster, and I train people to reach there goals and refer them to max muscle to get the best supps they can. Don’t be fooled by GNC (Garbage Nutrients Chemicals) people who don’t know what they sell and who don’t play the part and who don’t even use there supplements, go to max muscle where they actually know what they are talking about! I gotta say one thing THANKS CHRIS!

I started working out more intensely the last few months, but I haven’t been making the kinds of developments and improvements I wanted. I had picked up a pair of shorts at T&B Sports across the street and was waiting for a light when I decided to hop into Max Muscle.
It was around 5pm on a Saturday and Chris was in. I was the only customer, and he ended up spending close to an hour talking with me about my fitness goals, current activities, etc. What service! Unlike the stereotypical, ripped gym-​rat, Chris didn’t push products on me; he explained things I didn’t understand; he treated my questions seriously and without contempt; and he was incredibly knowledgeable. I have a few super-​intense fitness friends and they confirmed everything he said that I could still remember the next day.
Since I’m vegan, he recommended a non-​whey protein powder they carry. Provided I mix it with cold water (and I mean *cold* water, with ice and everything), it tastes pretty good; I look forward to it as my post-​workout recovery drink. Chris also gave me tons of samples of other products, one of which I’ll definitely pick up on my next visit. Max Muscle, I’ll be back!

Get pumped up and see ALEX & CHRIS
These are the owners of the new Max Muscle. Marin definitely needs a place like this. Knowledgeable, customer service, affordable, and cutting edge supplements. They offer services to customize nutrition plans for you!
Want FREE samples? Heck yah! What other retail sports nutrition establishment offers this kind of service to «try» before you «buy?» C’mon now, this slaps GNC (General Nutrition Crap) …they deserve the backhand slap to the face if you know what I mean when you felt like you just got served up, «I just GOT sold» and walked out of that place «WHAT the hell did I just buy!?»
As far as health… Alex and Chris look the part of working out, preach the part in their lifestyle I’m sure, and eagerly want to share their knowledge of fitness and supplementation (not in a show-​off way either).
Totally different experience which today people need in their communities!
Go see them if you want results!
