I can't say enough about Mark the owner/ trainer at Max body. I started about a year & a half ago. I feel great, enjoy the creative hard workouts & positive environment. The 50 minute strength training feels like 25 minutes. The time flies by. read more

Such a great and encouraging community! The classes are intense but doable and I'm feeling stronger already after a few weeks!

I have been coming to MaxBody for years. I always get a good workout and there is always such great positive energy in the gym - not only by the other members, but especially because of Coach Mark! He always pushes you to workout hard and makes it so enjoyable to do group fitness. read more

Coach Mark is one of the biggest reasons I enjoy physical fitness. He has taught me soo much and made me feel confident in the fitness world. I have been going to Maxbody for 6 years and love the community of people that this gym supports. You feel like you are getting a personalized workout session while also having the opportunity to meet and mingle with other motivated people. Coach Mark really supports wherever you are at in your health and fitness journey and is very genuine in his approach, never making you feel out of place if you need to make a personal adjustment to the workout plan.

Absolutely the best gym I have ever been part of. The atmosphere is fantastic and extremely positive. The crazy part about Maxbody...

This review is very long overdue, as I've been going to Mark's bootcamp for over 10 years! Mark immediately made me feel welcome and tailored the WOD's until I didn't need any modifications. This is how he trains all members, with the customized attention of personal training but in an energetic, supportive community. His super power is knowing how individuals need / want to be motivated and guiding everyone to their goals. The law of attraction is in full effect. Mark is down-to-earth, supportive and fun, so are the people in this community! read more

Max Body Boot Camp - I have been training at Maxbody for a year. Not only have I gained muscle and strength but confidence in my athletic ability. - Trainers Near Me - Huntington Beach, California

Max Body Boot Camp - Trainers Near Me - Huntington Beach, California

The owner of this business, Mark Mancilla is a very motivating Trainer. I have been enrolled in his HB morning boot camp class for about a month. He prepares a variety of workouts on a daily basis. Always something different, No boredom factor. He is very prepared for each session. Mark also gives individual guidance on exercises as needed. You work with weights, bands, even sandbags on occasion. It's a mix of cardio and weights working different muscle groups. I feel stronger everyday and am even able to run a bit faster and longer. Many of the other women in this boot camp have been doing it for much longer than me and are pleased with their results. Mark also provides nutrition guidance which is very helpful if you're trying to lose weight. You'll get printed material with a suggested diet, basically "Zone" based. Not very hard to follow. I believe he has a late afternoon boot camp as well as the 6:00am one. Check his website out. Mark also does personal training on a private or semi private basis, but I haven't tried that with him yet. I'm sure he does this as well as he handles the group in boot camp session. Bottom line is that Mark is very supportive and upbeat. He pushes you to do a lot more than you think you can. I feel very positive after each boot camp session. If you're thinking about trying out a boot camp experience, give Max Body boot camp a try. Oh and his pricing is very reasonable.! By the way I'm putting in this review unsolicited by Mark, I thought I'd just let Yelp people know about a good thing! read more

This is the first bootcmap that I have been consistent with! (I have tried many!) I enjoy going to class, it's always so much fun and I leave feeling so good! The smaller class sizes allow more one on one coaching, which is definitely a bonus for me. The music is great, the energy is always so good and Mark has helped me reach my fitness goals! Mark's coaching approach is professional, kind, and optimistic! I recommend this bootcamp! :) read more

Very overdue review of this gym. I've been going to Max Body close to 10 years? There's many of us who are very loyal to Mark because he is not only a great coach but a great human being. He is kind and he has a way of pushing you in a respectful way. He is the only gym that I consistently go to. Beyond him, the community of people that attends are all wonderful and supportive... and from different background and fitness level. I found my group of best friends in this gym. I highly recommend Max Body, whether you are just want to start in your fitness journey or get back into a fitness routine. This is a place for you read more

What an Awesome Place and Positive Environment. Im going into week 4 and really enjoy the workouts and feel good!!! I definitely recommend this to everyone. I use to just do the gym thing.... No way that compares anymore. I want to say Thanks to Coach Mark and Coach T.J. And to include Sarah who also does my daily menus and helps me out. Thanks!!! read more

Max Body Boot Camp - Coach T.J. and Travis - Trainers Near Me - Huntington Beach, California

Strength training has always been something I dreaded and avoided. Max Body Boot Camp with Mark, TJ and the Max Body community has made all the difference for me. The workouts are well-thought out and organized to accommodate people who are more advanced as well as beginners. Mark and TJ provide just-in-time corrective feedback on form so I feel challenged while still being safe. They also suggest and demonstrate modifications when an exercise feels like too much. I feel lucky to have found Max Body Boot Camp (thanks to a friend) and I am grateful for Mark and TJ --- that they are dedicated to sharing their fitness expertise while making it fun! read more

Location/Parking: Right on the corner of Garfield and Bushard. Same plaza as the Donut Shop and O'Connell's Bar. It has its own private lot. Mark is the fucking man. I've been to this place twice now and I'm all about it because of this guy. The workouts are legit and the best part is him. Mark is super attentive. So, if you're looking for a pusher to step up your workout game, he's it. He'll correct your form and change your weights to make sure you're really getting a workout. He's also very motivating and not in a bullshit "nice job" kind of way. Mark has a very genuine vibe about him and you can see it throughout the class in his interactions and after, as he checks in with people about their lives and goals AND comes up with ways to help them achieve them. Bonus: Mark encourages stretching! Most places tell you too, but everyone gets kinda rushed out. My first class, he sat with me to make sure I completed the workout properly. All in all: In case you couldn't tell, I love this place and plan on coming back and possibly, becoming a regular. read more

I finally achieved my fitness goals and it's all thanks to Mark and the Max Body team! I've never looked forward to working out until I started working out here. Mark and his team take the time to get to know each one of their clients personally. They know exactly how to push you to your maximum potential. The mixture of different personalities between all the trainers keeps class exciting and makes you want to come back for more! I've tried all kinds of group classes, from TRX to Body Pump, but I never saw the results I was looking for. Then I found Max Body! I finally started to see definition in my arms, legs, and stomach after only a few weeks. I've been with Max Body for 9 months and I've never felt or looked better. Mark and his team will help you achieve your fitness goals too! In addition to the incredible trainers here, the clients are all friendly and welcoming as well. I quickly became friends with many of the clients I worked out with. Everyone is very encouraging and this a judgment free zone because everyone is here for the same reason -- to get healthy! Whether you're a beginner or seasoned athlete, you will get an awesome workout. The trainers can help you modify any workout to make it easier or harder. You will notice your strength, endurance, and agility increase as you progress at Max Body. Take the time to try a class and join the Max Body family! read more

If I went to the gym by myself, I'm that girl who would be exercising my eyes and fingers with my phone. So, why purchase a gym membership when I can do that at home? Doesn't help that I'm a complete gym noob! Along came MaxBody.. and it's one of the BEST decisions I've made in my life!! I definitely feel healthier and happier ever since I started and working out has become a staple for me! It's all because of the awesome Coach Mark, Coach TJ & Coach Sarah! They are all super positive and upbeat about being healthy and fit!! They push you to do your best, all the while maintaining correct form. The workouts, itself, are great and challenging! It changes daily & each day has a specific focus. By the end of the week, you will have worked out every muscle of your body! Everyone that comes here is super friendly and enthusiastic! I dont know what it is about this place, but I always come out of Maxbody happy! Passionate coaches, positive environment, happy bootcampers! Enjoy! :) read more

The trainer and owner is the best I have ever had. I've been to different Bootcamps. But this trainer, Mark, is amazing!! He is inspiring and knows how to motivate you! He's watching you constantly to correct form and adjust weights. Literally this Bootcamp is the best of the best. Based on your goal he helps you achieve your goal. He has all the tools and knowledge to get you where you want to go. I keep telling Mark that he is the best trainer ever! read more

I haven't done much exercising outside of high school since 10 or so years ago so I was way out of shape and after much convincing from my relatives I decided to go along to Max Body Boot Camp. It was quite difficult in the beginning being out of shape and putting the strain on myself but Coach Mark was very accommodating and help guided me through the exercises, proper forms, weight choices, and showed me recommended diets to help get me in shape. It's been two years since my first visit and I can say that I feel a lot stronger and fit than before. Coach Mark always pushes us to challenge ourselves and go the extra mile from what we are normally used to but hey, that's how we get better! The types of workout varies each days of the week and we go over plenty of intense exercises which keep things interesting and fun. The other gym members are also very nice and everybody will gladly help one another so if you're a first timer here you'll feel right at home after a few sessions. I definitely recommend checking out Max Body Boot Camp if you're thinking about improving your overall physical fitness from any levels. read more

I reluctantly tried this place out after my wife had been going there for a bit. My initial thought was "Boot camp? Boot camp is for girls!", but I tried it out and I've been hooked since. Before Max Body, I've regularly gone to the gym and I push myself pretty hard.....but these classes push you beyond your comfort zone, in the most positive way possible. The workouts are always different and interesting. Everyone does the same exercises, but Mark will tweak certain things for you depending on what you want to work on and if you have any areas that cause you pain. Mark, the music and the other people working out are all high energy and positive. Not in the annoying way that the chick who teaches a spin class at the gym within an ear shot from my house is constantly yelling and screaming, but in a subtle way mostly having to do with Mark being in tune to each individuals capabilities. I've gotten stronger, lost weight and definitely lost body fat in a short time. You leave the classes pretty exhausted, but feeling great. All I can say is to try it out free for a week or so and I can pretty much guarantee that you'll be hooked to. I rarely leave yelp reviews, but this one was over due and very deserving. read more

This small business is run by one man, Mark. He's energetic, friendly and super supportive to ALL of his clients. He has many classes at various times throughout the week to accommodate most anyone's schedule. If you're looking for a drill instructor...this is not the place!!! read more

Can I just say how much I love this bootcamp? I am prone to trying workout routines for a while before getting tired of them pretty quickly but I somehow got addicted to Mark's bootcamp classes. I used to take the 5 am class and I will not get up that early for a run-of-the-mill workout. The classes are not at all intimidating and works for everyone of different levels. Each class is different and you're never bored. After working out with Mark for two years, I still leave the classes sore and dripped in sweat! Mark is so encouraging and even when the classes became popular and packed with people, everyone gets personal treatment with each session. I really don't know how he does it...he never runs out of energy! Even when he broke his foot, he showed up everyday on crutches making sure everyone got a great workout. He is constantly encouraging you to dig deeper and push harder and I still can't believe how much stronger I've gotten since I started. I lost about 20 pounds since I joined bootcamp and I have Mark to thank for that. If you're looking for a change and a challenge, hurry and sign up! read more

As someone who has been to this Bootcamp before I think it's safe to say this place is a bit off. Coach TJ looks stoned the entire time. Not to mention how him and Sarah have a son and actually BRING THEIR CHILDREN TO THEIR WORK. One of them is such a big creep. He definitely is not there for working out because he always wears jeans or just non athletic attire. I'm very creeped out by him because he is always just taking selfie's with the gym mirrors. I could be in the background of those and this weird teenage boy just doesn't care. Not to mention how he makes the entire place smell like sweat and fish. He has zero gym etiquette. Other than that it's a pretty mediocre gym. I advise they stop taking their strange teenage boy there for now until issues are resolved. read more

I have worked out all my life and needed a kick-start to my routine. I had a friend refer me to Max Body Boot Camp. I originally was only planning on staying for 3 months but, I got addicted to the work-outs and have now been going for 2 years. Mark is so welcoming to everyone that starts new. We are all different levels and he some how knows how to train us individually to fit our goals. You feel like you have a personal training experience each time. After telling my husband all about it he decided to sign-up too. Now we challenge each other to get stronger and healthier. I would recommend this gym to anyone from beginners to elite. I look forward to new goals and being pushed by the trainers each time I go! Plus, I have met wonderful people to work-out with. read more

I came to this place during what I would consider the worst physical and mental health I've been in a really long time. All the trainers, especially Mark, have been so supportive and friendly throughout the short amount of time I've been here. Mark goes above and beyond to help you reach your goals - from personally welcoming you into each class you attend and helping you develop a personal meal prep plan and eating habits. I'm always impressed with how he (along Coach TJ & Sarah) remember details about everyone's lives. It's honestly a great work out each day and a positive environment. The workouts are great because they know how to effectively target each body part (typically - M/W lower body, T/Th/Sat full body, and Wed upper body, but this changes monthly). While it is a group class, people of all health levels are welcome to join. The trainers know your limits and alter weights/exercises to any health concerns (i.e. back or knee pain). Workouts are an hour long and I consistently burn about 700-800 calories each time. It's honestly the highlight of my day and in my three months here, I've lost 31 pounds (from 230 down to 199!) I feel great, look great, and can definitely see myself getting stronger and toned. While it may cost a little bit more than a 24 hour fitness membership, it's more than worth it if you need extra motivation to work out. It's affordable and it works! I'm so grateful for Mark, TJ, and Sarah for their consistent encouragement and helping me reach my potential. read more

I've been using Mark's personal training for about 2 months now with a friend of mine. We have been meeting twice a week for a seriously intense workout! Mark's a really nice guy who has a lot of variety in his training sessions to keep it interesting. Almost every workout results in some sore muscles (the good kind of sore :-p). I've got some biceps now and my shoulders are pretty ripped, if I do say so myself (hahaha) The training is also pretty reasonable and he develops a meal plan for you based on what you eat. Of course it's up to you to follow it, I'm not so disciplined. Again, great workouts!! read more

I've been working out with Mark for about 6 months now and have gotten stronger and leaner. While I should have lost more weight by now--which is my own fault--Mark's workouts have definitely helped balance out all of the food and libations that I enjoy. (Yelpers don't eat for fuel.) The workouts are never the same so you don't get bored, they are held outdoors, and while challenging they aren't overly intimidating. He'll push you for sure but is mindful of your ability and fitness level. He personal trains at his gym and holds his bootcamp sessions in HB. There are three class times to choose from: 6am (never going to this one), 915am (my preferred time) and 6pm. read more

Being a former US Marine, I can say I truly appreciate the bootcamp style of fitness. Coach Mark makes the routine fun, engaging, effective and very timely. I travel extensively throughout the year and whenever I get a chance to exercise at Max Body, I always make sure I maximize my time and opportunity for a great work out. I even brought my wife and she loved it. I can't wait until my kids get old enough to come. Families that work out together, live longer together. read more

Max Body Boot Camp - Our style of family time - Trainers Near Me - Huntington Beach, California

If I hadn't moved out of state, I would still be going to Max's bootcamps! He is amazing and he doesn't treat you like another number. He truly cares about each and everyone of his clients. I was preparing for the law enforcement physical agility exam (that I had previously failed), and I needed help badly. He got me over my fear of jumping over three foot obstacles and he helped improve my two mile run by three minutes! He is exceptionally motivating and enthusiastic with his clients, but he does expect you to be disciplined with your diet and to push yourself when you workout. I wish only the best for his business, he certainly helped get me into the career of my dreams. read more

coach mark is the absolute best! his workouts are innovative, always fresh, very motivating and most of all effective! thanks to max body and the whole max body family, i am in the best shape of my life. read more

A friend that really enjoys this class invited me to do a two week trial that Max Body Boot Camp offers, and within a week, I was hooked. The atmosphere is fantastic, the schedule is super flexible, and the amount of energy that Mark and TJ put in everyday is really motivating. Everyone in the class is super nice, and even though their fitness/health goals vary depending on age and body type, Mark and TJ know what to change in the exercises so you can reach your goals efficiently. This Boot Camp demands the perfect balance of strength and stamina, and it has become my favorite way to start the day. read more

Every couple of moths I will do a month training session with Mark. He is very motivating and empowering. When you think of "BOOTCAMP" you think of some a**h*** yelling at you, however, this is different. Although there is more than just one person training with you, he really gives your one on one critiques during and after your workout. I love the indoor one as well as the outdoor. Really gets you going!!! If you are looking to work your butt off you may wanna consider this "BOOTYCAMP!!!!!" read more

I have been coming to Max Body for over 5 years now. This is the first time I have ever stayed at one gym and gone consistently for more than a year or two. The classes are always challenging and always different. My body has changed for the better and continues to change. I am very comfortable here as Coach Mark, Coach T, And Coach Sarah and really make an effort to know each of us and our abilities. The camaraderie is really awesome and I have made some great friends over the years. If you are looking for a great challenging workout, a place to feel welcomed, build confidence, and make new friends, then this is definitely the place! read more
