The gym is spacious, well-organized, and well-maintained. Darcy makes everyone feel very welcome! I highly recommend it! read more

Amazing location. Many different types of trainers in the same location so you can pick one who matches what your goals will be.

After spending a couple years at chain gyms, MaxFit is a breath of fresh air. The trainers are kind and knowledgeable, the owners are amazing, I don't think I've EVER had to wait in line to use a squat rack, AND it doesn't smell like feet (honestly a big one for me). Workout in a group, alone, or alongside others with similar goals (while you cheer each other on) there's something for everyone here. read more

This place is a great place to workout in. I decided to aim for my goal to workout and hire a trainer. I see why people like to come here because it's not crowded and is such an awesome workout community. Makes me want to do better and reach my goals! I need to mention my trainer Joey! He is the first trainer I felt that really tries to connect and pushes me to my full potential. He really cares and wants me to grow on this health journey. He listens to me and always has a positive can do attitude. He makes me want to workout and reach that goal! I do not regret this decision and hope to continue this wonderful workout journey. read more

I've been a member of 6 gyms in my life so far (in NY, Tokyo, Utah, Redwood City and SF ) and Maximum Fitness is the best. They have the most friendly and helpful trainers and staff of I've ever experienced. My wife and I feel so welcome there. And the other patrons/clients are all so friendly too. It really feels like you're joining an old-fashioned community, not just a workout place. Nice smiles and hellos add to my energy when I walk in. They have terrific equipment and a lot of it, partly because it's such a big space. And, importantly, it's extraordinarily clean. We feel fortunate to have found this place and wish the owners well. This is a rare gem. read more

Love this place! Inviting, clean, spacious and ALL of the trainers are above excellent-- in terms of knowledge, skills and being great people. Go check this place out. Seriously the best fitness place I've ever been to in the Bay Area! read more

The great thing about Max Fit is the classes they offer - a full range of boot camp classes where you'll see Joey's smiling face M-F @ 6:00am. Not to say the other instructors are anything to scoff at; Darcy, Joey and Dave and team are all top notch. Also another thing I love: the gym is clean and modern! I live in SSF and my friends wonder why I drive to Redwood City to work out. The best feeling is - it's not a chore to work out or to drag myself out - the dedication and motivation you get makes the drive and workout effortless! read more

By far the best choice of my life to join Maximum. I joined the Max 12 years ago and never looked back. Darcy and Joey have created a community that is not just a gym but a gym family. They truly have become just that for me. I had always feared the gym, I was too heavy, I worried about what people would think of me. No knowledge of proper form or gym workouts. Fast forward to today this community has provided a space for me to never have to have those fears again. Every single trainer here has impacted my life positively in one way or another. Every single trainer here has helped me progress and encouraged me. Every single trainer here shows up and gives 110 percent even on bad days (which we all have) you would never know. If you could see where these guys started and where they are now you would truly be blown away. If you are in the search of a community where you are supported and seen with no judgement, then this is the gym for you. Thank you guys for creating such an amazing gym! I love you Maximum!! read more

I would like to be the first review to start the 5 star trend on this place.... My GF (Maxx's Mom Yelp's profile name) and I have worked with Darcy. We both wanted to focus more on core and stability work. The type of exercises he recommended were challenging, intense, yet fun. All the weight equipment, cardio equipment, and workout extra's are new. It's very clean and located in a convenient location in Redwood City. You don't need to worry about parking. Bathrooms are clean and you can shower if you need to on your way back to work or before work. Darcy can help customize nutrition plans and even recommend the correct supplements to cater to each individual. My GF and I just like the fact that he's concerned about your fitness and nutrition goals. He makes you feel like family and it's really hard not to get motivated to workout with him. All the people who work with Darcy are very friendly, knowledgeable, and courteous when confronting them. That's always a plus. Even if Darcy was sick or something, I'd still feel comfortable training with someone new there. Check this place out. I've had great results and would recommend anyone on any workout/fitness level. He also has a GREAT dog named Nature. He's the mascot. read more

I have been going to Maximum Fitness and training with Michael Harrison for the past 1.5 years. I have been a 5-times/week-gym-goer all my adult life. I have also been running and road biking for years. But I started seeing a significant change in my body shape and strength only weeks after I started working out with Michael. He targets workouts for my body. We usually do circuit trainings...so I get my cardio and muscle workout in one hour. My boyfriend and another friend of mine train with him too. They each have different goals but they are extremely happy training with Michael. The gym is absolutely fantastic. It's never crowded, it's very clean, and it has every equipment you would need to get your workout done: a separate cardio room with various cardio machines + one big room with every weight equipment you find in a big gym. They recently added another big room for bootcamp and yoga classes. There are clean showers at the gym and finding parking is never an issue. So whether your purpose is to lose weight, get in shape or become stronger in the sport of your choice, go to Maximum Fitness and train with Michael. read more

I have been training with Darcy at Maximum Fitness for several years now, and I am in much better shape as a result. I find it's sometimes hard to get motivated to work out; with Darcy's help I get a great workout and have clear plans as to what to do when I work out on my own. Darcy is tough, but also very positive and encouraging. Plus, it helps that he's a football fan so we always have something to talk about during the (never long enough) "rest" periods. Dave, Joey, Michael and the rest of the staff at Maximum Fitness are great guys as well. They are always trying new things so your workouts never get stale or boring. These guys are great and could help anyone achieve their goals. read more

Darcy, Aaron and the rest of the Max fam are amazing! I have never felt unwelcome, out of place, or judged. They push me and are genuinely interested in helping me reach higher fitness levels. read more

Suited and booted! This spot has got it all :) Everything is fresh ans clean and the staff is super professional. Eye on form and technique and merciless on the reps.....I'll be back for more. read more

I'm a huge bootcamp junkie.. It's been sometime since I last went and I need to get back into shape and since we moved I needed to find something local. I was introduced to MFP from a yelp deal - glad I bought it. I love the 6am bootcamp. Note that all the sessions are separate - like a bunch of different schools within one location (1. bootcamp 2. crossfit 3 training sessions. . I opted for bootcamp until I get into better shape. Within a few months I hope to graduate to crossfit. If you're a morning person I recommend Joey's bootcamp! read more

highly highly recommended gym and personal trainers If you are into 'fitness' classes, the bootcamps (AM or afternoons) will definitely make you want to ask for a time out. Everything is at your own pace, but everyone encourages each other to get through the workouts. The gym is modern and clean, and they are opening up a crossfit office right next door. Was also doing personal training with Darcy, and he was great. Great guy and definitely fun to work out with. Dave is also a very good trainer, he teaches the saturday morning classes and it's a great way to start the weekend. While Joey is in charge of the morning classes for those early risers. definitely recommend for those who want to get out of the boring gym classes or routines. Thanks Max Fitness! read more

When picking a personal trainer, you consider the trainer and the facility. I have been training with Daniel Sanidad at Maximum Performance and Fitness for 4 months. This facility is very clean, well equipped, and not crowded. The fresh air in the gym is very welcome as it is never stuffy, and makes it easy to concentrate on the session rather than what else is going on around you. Daniel is an amazing trainer whom somehow personalizes the sessions to the client and its never boring. Its always a challenge but I always feel great afterwards. read more

ONE WHO STANDS OUT FROM OTHER PERSONAL TRAINERS! I've been working out for many years and have come across several personal trainers within different gyms. When I first saw Michael, he was working out. His workouts and formation stood out to me unlike no other. I was able to observe and recognize that he was very skilled and truly knew what he was doing. As soon as I found out that he was a personal trainer, I inquired to learn more. I knew I wanted to train like him. After trying a couple of sessions with Michael, I jumped on board with him because I was very pleased to the personal workouts he had for me. I've had health ailments, which has made me fatigue, lose strength, and endurance that I once had. This has been difficult for me emotionally and physically. I shared my history with Michael and he showed concern and gave me positive words. He realizes that we are all different and all train differently because of different reasons. Michael has demonstrated patience, he cares about his clients, is very easy to talk to, he is very thorough when demonstrating, and makes working out fun! I've only been working out two times per week for the past month with Michael and I already see a difference in my appearance, but most importantly I am able to perform stronger and leaving with more energy. I haven't been able to say this for quite some time. Hats off to Michael Harrison over at Maximum Fitness & Performance, for getting me back on track, that will soon be the best track I've been on. read more

I have to start by saying that when I started at Maximum Fitness & Performance with Joey as my personal trainer I didn't know what to expect. I'm a very busy mom of twin toddlers with a full time job. So i really didn't have much time in my day to fit personal training sessions. Besides being busy, over weight, with low confidence and ton of excuses. Joey was very understanding and super encouraging. He worked with me a lot and always tried going out of his way to help me. Joey has set the bar high for other personal trainers. About the facility: It very nice and clean and all working machines. It's very different from all the other gyms in the area not crowded or smelly. Trainers: All very nice but Joey by far the best I recommend this gym!!! read more

I went to ck these guys out over in rwc. I heard from a friend that their body blasting classes were intense. I though that he was exaggerating so I went to one of their classes. This guy (owner) Darcy was running the session. Man he seriously killed me ( but in a good way.) He had been training me for the past 5 months to get ready for this crazy run called the Tough Mudder.I just ran it about a week ago and I did pretty well. I know that if I didn't have the coaching and training of Darcy joey, and dave , i wouldn't have been able to do it. He's helping me train now for the Iron Man. Not sure about that one but if anybody can get me ready its the trainers at Maximum Fitness!!!!! Cheeee hooo, Thnks braddahz read more

I wanted to look for a new gym to workout at in my area and when I came across MAXIMUM FITNESS PERFORMANCE'S website I thought I'd give it a try. Awesome gym! Darcy, Dave and Joey are excellent trainers. They push you to do more every time and that is the kind of workout I like. It is definitely hard but worth every penny spent. read more

These guys are the best hands down. I have been going to Max Fit for over a year and a half. In that time I have done one half marathon, two mud runs, one tough mudder (it will be two in a couple weeks), and a weight lose challenge with them. In that time I have managed to loose over 50lbs, with there help and support. The have managed to change my way of life. The facility is super clean the guys are very knowledgeable and an over all awesome place to train. read more

Best work out I ever experience are at Maximum Fitness, try one of their body blasting classes they are great.

Get your Body Blasting on....Darcy and his team know their stuff and will get you fit. Can't wait to do the Tough Mudder in Tahoe with them! read more

It's been awhile that I come home really pooped from a personal training session. In other words, it's money well-spent. A really great investment! Don't let Darcy's easy-going demeanor fool you. He has a way of encouraging you thru tough routines even though you feel like quitting or wringing his neck (joke!). Clean towels & facilities which is a great reflection of how much they care. You won't be sorry. Better check it out! read more

I attended their Tough Mudder workout. The gym is small but I still got a great workout and at the end they have a competition with boys vs girls. Everyone was friendly and supportive! read more

I have been working with Darcy at Maximum Fitness for almost 2 months now and it's everything I've wanted in a trainer and facility. I've worked with a lot of trainers over the years and i would be comfortable with any of the trainers at Maximum Fitness. The facility is clean and well maintained and the trainers all seem to be cheerful and polite (even while kicking your butt). While I struggle with fitness as i get older, Darcy has taken the time to not just work on the physical side, but the mental. read more

This place rocks! Trainers are all very competent and professional. Have been working out here for 2 years now with Arron. I am not the youngest anymore but I have never been as fit in my life as I am now. Each work-out is different and never boring. Absolutely recommend this place read more

I highly recommend you look into training at Maximum Fitness. My trainer is Darcy and he is absolutely wonderful. I've also experienced training from the other trainers here and they are equally as good! Darcy is really good at listening to my goals, and creating workouts that are designed to push me and get results. The one-on-one training elevates the experience and you know you will be getting a great work out. As soon as you walk in, you feel like part of the family. The Saturday morning bootcamps are tough, but it's exactly what I want and need. You are able to go at your own pace (I've had back surgery, so I HAVE to) and they encourage you the whole way. read more

Excellent place to get fit and loose weight the healthy way. Joey is a great trainer and he keeps you motivated. It's a very clean environment , awesome equipment and clean towels! Love this place read more

I began a serious training regimen May 15th of this year. I also began to attend Darcy and Dave's body blasting classes at Maximum Fitness Performance, which I can say from personal experience are some tough classes. I became inspired by each and every individual that trained here and with the help of their trying efforts to get through each class and through the motivation of the contestants on the biggest loser, I took it upon myself to go hard and registered for a full on 26.2 marathon and trained for only 2 and a half months. I used to hate running and the most I ever ran before registering for the marathon was 3 miles but I knew that if I wanted to get that summer body like Darcy always mentioned in his status updates of "Body blasting tonight, Get your summer body ready," then I knew that this was what I had to do and I did it. From May 15th to July 26th. I lost 40 pounds and finished a marathon in 5 hours 20 minutes. It wasn't exactly the time I wanted to finish the marathon in because of injury but nonetheless, I'm proud of myself. I'm going to make a promise to myself to come back to the SF Marathon and kill this personal best by 1 hour. A lot of my training inspiration came from this gym right here so if you really want to get that summer body then I suggest you come on down and "get some." read more
