Dustin and Johnny give the outstanding customer service ever. I will always be a returning customer and they truly know how to make a customer feel appreciated. read more

I decided to support local businesses because I was mad at Amazon.... so to get my protein shake I spent almost an hour looking for supplement stores in San Francisco and found out that unfortunately, a lot have closed doors, which is why i got excited to see Max M. Nutrition, so I got in the bus and after less 30 mins. However, the selection there was less than ideal, they were sold out of a lot of products and not even close to what I needed, so I left disappointed in myself because the reason a lot of stores are closing is the competition with online shopping, perhaps if I had done this earlier this store would have more selection :( read more

-Customer service excellent. - Extremely knowledgeable & able to explain in basic understandable terms. read more

Jon and Dustin are amazing at what they do! They helped me find all the products I needed and never tried to sell me on anything.

Dustin is the man. Dudes shredded to da max! For sure the most helpful and knowledgeable person! Everything I needed, he was on it! The perfect pre workout, the perfect protein, the perfect recovery Supps, the perfect weight loss Supps. Definitely recommend stopping by for all your health and fitness needs! Thank you sir! read more

I stopped into Max Muscle kind of on a whim after striking out on what I was looking for at one of the big chain supplement stores, and I'm so glad I did! Dustin greeted me when I walked in and helped me troubleshoot my supplement woes. He was informative but more importantly he didn't condescend or get pushy to make a sale like at some places -- he was just genuinely helpful. I needed something kind of specific and he let me take home some samples before making a decision. Needless to say, I went back the next day to get what I needed. Max Muscle is my new go-to for all things health and nutrition. read more

In the many years that I have been a customer at Max Muscle Nutrition , I have never gotten anything less than excellent customer service. Not only are Jon and Dustin incredibly knowledgeable about the products, but they have helped me transform my physique with their advice and wisdom. All while being mindful in advising me about items I don't need. So, I trust their opinions and never feel exploited or "over sold" like some other businesses can do. I explained to them what my body goals were, and I have reached those goals with the assistance of Jon and Dustin. These guys make you feel like family when you walk through the door and I would recommend to all of my gym buddies!! Troix Boyd read more

I don't know what's better the customer service or the products. The owner was very helpful and helped me find the products I needed , great prices also ! read more

Love this place and love Dustin!! I don't know him personally but EVERY time I walk into the shop, he greets me with the biggest smile and genuine enthusiasm, and I always feel so glad that I stopped in. He is at the ready to help with any questions, but also won't be pushy if you don't have any. If I had one complaint, it would be for them to stay open till 7 PM instead of 6 PM--I have such a hard time making it there in time after work! Love, love, love! read more

I walked in looking for little packets of protein powder that I could take on an out-of-town trip to have healthy travel snacks. They didn't have any little packets on display so I was about to walk out when a very kind gentleman introduced himself as Dustin and asked how he could help me. I explained what I was looking for and he said, "Oh, we are out of those unfortunately, but let me make you up some sample packs" - and he proceeded to scoop out protein powder into little baggies and label and seal them for me - it was SO kind! He did not have to do that at all! So Dustin saved me - now I am all set for my trip and I will definitely remember that I was treated well here. Thank you! read more

Went in looking for specific supplements and protein. Dustin helped me find everything I needed. He explained everything about each product I was looking at and was cool af. Do yourself a favor and shop here for your supps and go talk to Dustin if you have any questions! read more

I stopped by looking for some Preworkout before hitting the gym. I was in town visiting and the employee there took such great care of me. He mixed up a customized preworkout and served it to me in a cool Togo cup, all on the house. Not only was he friendly but the store was clean and welcoming. Def one of the more personalized supplement stores that i often look for when i buy my gear. Just wish i lived in town because i was just visiting. read more

What is this place? Felt like I walked into my uncle's garage looking for expired nutritional supplements. Hard pass.

Bought a protein drink for a friend who loves Max Muscle and their products. I can't speak to the product because I don't use any nutrient products besides food -- but I can comment the customer service and the sense of community at the store is awesome. read more

Afraid of injecting yourself with steroids? Welcome to Max Muscle. Full of supplements to help you be ruff and tuff like a spicy cheese puff. I hate to say it but I prefer GNC. Maybe because I used to work at GNC. Also it seems like GNC has more variety of products and lower prices. I have not actually compared the prices, but that is the feeling I get. But hey, if you want some supplements that will really help you get in shape, come get them at Max Muscle before the FDA outlaws them. Something about this place is just weird. I don't feel comfortable browsing the shelves. Maybe because only buff gay guys feel comfortable here. There's no women's section, that's fer sure. The employee always helps you very quickly, which i don't like. I like to just look around. I actually know some things about supplements because I worked at two different GNC stores when I was a teenager, although supplements have changed a lot since then. My advice, don't get carried away with supplements, but use them. Also, don't trust the FDA at all. Anyways, it's cool if you need supplements. The place isn't exactly my cup of tea, but then I am not the type of customer they are trying to attract. I give it 4 and a half stars. So I will round it up to 5 because I have no reason not too. If you go inside and don't see anything you like you can always go to the bar upstairs called The Lookout and get drunk. read more

My go to place for all things supplements and nutrition. Highly recommend their Emerge which is only sold here. It's a weight loss supplement that essentially utilizes your fat as energy but also puts you in a great mood. Some other things that are my go to buys here are their Quadra Night Cuts which is a pill that maximizes your calorie loss while you're sleeping. On top of all their great products, they have great and friendly staff too. Amongst them, Dustin has helped me the most. I feel like he's always there whenever i stop by the shop. Take a day off bro! But seriously, super friendly and he's easy to approach if you have any questions or simply have never been there and need someone to get you started. Did I mention the samples they like to give you at the end?? read more

Went in today to Muscle Max today and got helped by Ahmad. Basically told him what I wanted to start doing with my workouts and that I wanted to lose some fat. He showed me a good whey protein to take and also a fat burner that tastes really good! He also gave me a sample of some pre workouts to try and test out to get more reps in for my workouts. Give me that extra boost. Got what I needed to get started! Il definitely be back to get some more stuff! Right on Ahmad bro and Ima see you soon! #TeamSwoll! 5 stars for knowledge and the customer service! read more

So I went inside to check it out, and it seemed really complete and filled with a lot of sports nutrition stuff. I was impressed, and the guy was extremely helpful and enthusiastic and engaging. So I got a Quest peanut butter protein bar. I came home excited to eat it, opened it and then saw web like things on a corner. I thought maybe it's still ok to eat, so then I checked the expiration date and it turns out it was expired an entire year ago. Hmm. read more

See all

I have been buying nutrition supplies for a few years now, and let me tell you... there is a guy that works there, Jon M (that's what my receipts says) very helpful and awesome guy, I saw him interacting with other customers and he is just great, I even though he was either the manager of the owner, very knowledgeable. About the store, I think it has enough product to meet most of your needs, at least mine. Definitely coming back. Good Job! read more

Competitive pricing with great service! I've been going to Max Muscle for a while now and the staff is great! Johnny is usually my go to guy around there and works as a personal trainer as well and knows his stuff. I usually go there for all my protein, post workout and additional supplement needs with someone who is easy to understand and extremely personable. Great stuff that you can't get anywhere else and I've been seeing results with every week that passes. Thanks for being great at what you do. read more

Oh, the Castro. Its men: whoa, mama. The 'hood has got its fair share of hunky men, especially those roaming around the gym. So, when I saw Beyonce's mile-long stems on the Grammy's, I was encouraged to work harder on my own routine. You know, to add to the Castro's repertoire of hotties. Just doin' my part here, folks. I already eat well and exercise regularly (OK, let's *pretend* I always do), so adding a bit of protein to my diet isn't a huge stretch. Alex and Kim at Max Muscle were amazingly helpful. I know nothing about protein shakes, but feel a lot more informed after one visit. I tried a few MaxPro flavors and settled on tiramisu. (It sounds weird, but it's a lot tastier than the vanilla and strawberry.) I also picked up a few Quest bars (the chocolate chip is amazing) and as an added bonus: was shown photos of Alex in his competition stage. Whoa, mama indeed. read more

Matt has been coming to this health store for years; since high-school to be exact. When the then-healthy Matt was single and Adonis-like, he would buy all his necessary protein shake mix and supplements here in order to look like Captain America. Now, marriage, and after consuming over 2,000 super burritos and 800 In & Out Double-Double Cheeseburger, he looks nowhere like his idol. Hopefully Matt will get it back together in the upcoming New Year. Matt was here to buy a big container of protein shake and a box of meal-replacement bars. Finding the time to have lunch or even a 1 minute break are hard to come buy these days for Matt's job. The prices are cheaper here as oppose to other healthful stores including GNC, even with the first Tuesday of every month sale. The friendly staffs are really knowledgeable and suggest what items to get and avoid. The male staff complimented on Matt saying he has a nice chassis. Matt was shocked to hear that from anybody other than his wife. read more

It is what it is. Look, GNC is a supplement store for the masses and you'll be very lucky to actually find someone who A: Speaks fluent English and B: Knows ANYTHING about supplements. Max Muscle is the opposite of this. While I still do as much research as possible prior to taking any new supplements, I have always found good information from the guys that work there. Since I have lifted hard for 10 years, I would say I am pretty knowledgeable about my supps and I never worry about an up sell for buying something I don't need. The supps go from Mild to Wild and it is the only place in the city that sells ACL products. If you know what ACL is, then this store is for you. If you want a solid protein, creatine and multivitamin, this place is for you as well. Solid prices, about the same if you buy online and add shipping. Also the only place in the city that sells xtend, which in my opinion is the best product on the market today (BCAA's). read more

I have been coming to this MM Store for probably 3 to 4 years. I've always gotten great assistance from all of the employees I've come in contact with. They have never been rude or dismissive, or rushed. They take time and will either research or just know the answers. When I don't have the time to research, which I don't usually, I can rely on the staff there to have the answer or get back to me about it. And on top of that they are all very good looking; that's a plus. Anyway it is the place that I rely on for my supplemental needs, even though I do shop at GNC for certain things, MM in Castro area is my store for life. Don't ever close. I'll be devastated. I want to thank the following, but not disregarding anyone I may have missed. - Ian - Mark - Mike - Tri - Alex - Eddie You guys have been and are great. Keep up the good work......... We really never know who we'll meet in the type of work we do, always keep your best foot forward; the rewards will just come. Take care guy's, George W.

I go in here about once a month for my workout fixings, and have found the experience to be VERY positive. It is as if the pleasant wonderful positive experience of patronizing Max Muscle and working out @ Gold's Gym go hand in hand like working out @ 24 Hour Fitness and buying your supplements @ GNC. I seem to always get some sort of free promo too, they always give me something new to try for FREE. Now, I am hardly in here, they can't possibly recognize or remember me, so I think this is just too great! The service is friendly, without being over bearing or commission oriented (although it may be). Product tip: For a great appetite killer/fat burner that REALLY WORKS, buy 'Intek Evolution' in the green bottle. I have an incredible ability to pack away food, this is the only thing that curbs my appetite to 'normal'. I sear by the stuff. You WILL lose weight! UPDATE!!!! I just tried to call and find out what time they close only to receive an automated message that 'The party you are about to call does not accept calls from blocked numbers'! WTF? I will investigate when I go in! Crazy policy! read more

There's only 2 reasons I go to this location.. The store is always fully stocked & the awesome customer service I receive from the very knowledgeable staff members they have! I definitely recommend any of their products if you're looking to bulk up or get lean! My workouts have been amazing with the recommended products they've suggested to me and I've never felt more energized! They will not steer you in the wrong way! Max Muscle SF team are truly the best! read more

After being a GNC guy for years, it only took one visit to Max Muscle to through my GNC Gold card in the trash a year ago. The guys are extremely knoweldgeable and the service is terrific. In addition, their supplements are worlds above the GNC formulas. It is definitley more expensive but they will give you a discount for the gym you belong to, repeat customer discount and I think even a Yelp discount and because their proteins and supplements are more effective, you actually use less than GNC's products and they last longer. If you're serious about your fitness, then Max Muscle will help you reach your goals!!! read more

Showed up at 10am on Saturday (their listed opening time on yelp and google). Found a piece of paper on the door listing their hours are 10:30am - 6pm. Ok, understandable. They should update their hours online but maybe they just made this change. Return at 10:35am. Still closed. Call their phone. No answer. What's the point of having hours if you can't operate within them? I won't be coming back. Edit: Employee showed up at 10:45 as I was leaving. One additional star for actually opening at all. read more

My place to go if you needed your protein supplement (but don't have time to order it online). The owner is very knowledgeable and gives me a bunch of protein bars for first timers in the shop! Thank you! Parking is hard cause its on market st so make sure come a little bit earlier to search for public parking around the area. The are tons of residential parking during the day. (I came at around 1 pm) read more

The complete opposite of GNC, why do I even bother going there. This place has everything I could ever want to use and then some. I bought my Tren Xtreme frome here and it was doing wonders. The service is wonderful. People here actually want to help you improve your body...some of the guys are cute too....an added bonus. 5 Big Red Ones read more

Max Muscle Nutrition has been my trusted supplement store for over 6 years. This business has been supporting my fitness journey from the beginning. I have experienced life changing results using their well researched quality proven products. I combined a well balanced diet, exercise, Liquicarn, MaX CLA, and Lipo Red to lose over 80lbs. I also switch out my coffee with Emerge to get a quality balanced jolt while burning fat. These are my go to supplements and now will be adding NitroVex per the recommendation of John. I took a long break from working out and supplementing due to personal reasons. Now that I have decided to start back up, I called Max Muscle SF to order my go to supplements. John picked up the phone with enthusiasm and that got me going! He must've been drinking Emerge! I ordered my go to supplements and added his recommended NitroVex since I needed something to help me with a pump in the gym. I told him that Nico Abaya used to ship the items to me. He said "why don't you just say deliver it to me! and I'll come over!" He then told me about their new service. After dropping off other products, John showed up in my office lobby with my goods! You just can't beat the value this business offers. I'm appreciative for the absolutely amazing supplements, but more grateful for the staff who I consider my trusted advisors. You MUST experience the level of service this company provides. Once you do, you will understand the meaning of value. read more

Went in there today to get a shaker and a pre workout. Got helped by Dustin. Great guy he knows what he's talking about, and a variety of stuff highly recommend this place. will be my to go place for supplements from now on. read more

I went into this store not really knowing what I was getting myself into. I was looking around the store just looking around and one of the employees helped me out and he was really friendly. Jon was able direct me to the right supplements that I needed. Super friendly people. I would definitely come back. read more

Kewl Experience. I called MaxMuscle and asked for pricing for items I get at GNC, they were a bit more expensive than GNC I told the guy and he says, just get me some proof of their price and we'll match it + give you a 10% discount! AWESOME! While it looks like a "jock shop" the staff there is super sweet and friendly and very knowledgable. Customer Service was spectacular, and they have it all in terms of serious products. read more

After shopping at active across the street for the last couple months I grew tired of the bad customer service and decided to check out Max muscle across the street. Was greeted by Jon right away and he asked me about my goals and helped me pick the supplements I needed and a few lifting tips too. I think I found my new supplement store. read more

Dustin, Daniel, and Jon are all super friendly and helpful. they are knowledgeable with all their products and can recommend whatever you need based on your goals. i have been coming to this particular max muscle ever since i moved to SF, and i will continue to as long as i am able. i spend quite a bit, but it's definitely worth it for the quality and results i see. read more

I can't possibly imagine going anywhere else for supplements or even just a quick protein snack. Daniel, Dustin, and Johnny are spot on when it comes to their product recommendations and service. They always go out of their way to understand what my needs are and spend countless hours researching and selecting the perfect products so I don't have to start from square one when looking for supplements. I know they have already done the leg work for me in that area; I like that the store isn't a maze of multiple selections and a million supplements - it's just the good stuff, so making the choice that's right for me is so much easier. These guys are as easy going as it gets and they never forget a customer, even if someone has not come in in a while. More than remembering names and faces, they remember specific things about their fitness goals and take the time to ask catch-up questions and actually listen to the answers to see how their product selections worked out for them. I wouldn't go anywhere else. read more

Hi- this is literally the best place ever. Dustin (manager) helped me out through everything. I like had the best 25th birthday here

Stopped in to pick up a supplement on a friend's suggestion. Jon was super helpful. He was genuinely interested in helping me build the best stack to achieve my body goals. Thanks Jon and Max Muscle! read more

Amazing staff! VERY knowledgeable and friendly. Jon walked me through all the options they have and tips to accomplish best results. Max Muscle Nutrition is my go to place to get supplements. read more
