If you're looking for results, there's no one better than Max. After just a few months, I already notice a huge difference in my fitness level, weight lifting ability, and overall well-being. Max takes a personalized approach for each of his clients by creating a custom plan that considers your ability and goals--whether you're a beginner or an experienced athlete. Workouts never feel routine because Max puts a lot of thought into every session, and I learn something new each time. He is extremely knowledgable and pays careful attention to form and helps ensure proper technique, to minimize risk of injury. Max is also incredibly personable and I look forward to each session. He's completely shifted my perspective on exercise, turning it into a fun and positive experience, rather than a chore. read more

Max is a great person we have fun working out and I have learned a lot! I never was a gym goer but have become one with his guidance.

I am a woman in her sixties who had not done any weight training in years. My doctor encouraged me to start resistance training to keep my bones and muscles strong. I bought some weights and tried to create my own workout routine but found that my workouts were interrupted by life's demands. The solution was to purchase a 10-pack series of personal training sessions with Max, which I just completed. Max mixed up our sessions, creating excitement in trying something new and a sense of accomplishment after completing each task. We focused on balance, strength, and flexibility, and by the end of the ten sessions, I noticed a considerable improvement in all three. A wonderful feeling for a woman my age! To wrap up each training session, Max assisted me in stretching, leaving me feeling calm and relaxed; without fail, I was in a much better mood than when I began. I haven't felt this strong in years and look forward to continuing to implement the exercises Max has given me to keep my body strong and vital. read more

Max is one of the top trainers I have worked with. When I started, I was post cancer treatments and was nervous to start training. Max helped me through with his trained observations. I am gaining the strength, flexibility and mobility that had been disappearing as well as the confidence to WANT to continue my training. Max's workout style is varied and I have no doubt he can work with any age range. The newer facility he uses has plenty of machines and weights to have a great workout without many people. Great space for personalized training. Train with Max and you won't be disappointed! Vicky W read more

I discovered Max when I decided I needed personal training after repeatedly injuring myself. Having worked with max over the last 2-3 months I can confidently say it was the right decision. Not only have I made progress in my fitness journey but also overcome my lower back pain, especially with rolling which Max suggested and implemented in my routine. The last 5 mins of a workout where he stretches you out is absolutely the best. read more

Working with Max over the past few months has helped me gain a lot of momentum with personal fitness journey -- from nutrition to cardio to dynamic movements to stretching. His personal stretching program for the last 5 min of each session is particularly helpful. He's also very open to structuring your goals based on what fitness goals you are trying to accomplish. Highly recommend! read more

I started out with Max after 15 years of sitting behind a desk. 5 months later, I look better, have tons more energy to play with my son, and am feeling completely reenergized. Max goes beyond what I was expecting from a trainer. He has a huge depth of experience and a long list of exercises, stretches, functional moves, and insights to draw from. The workouts are diverse and interesting, and well tailored to me and my goals. He also happens to be nice and supportive, which helps. The training space is brand new and dedicated to only a couple other friendly trainers and their clients. Big recommendation. read more

Been training with Max since June 2020. He's great. Highly recommend him. I'll break it down: Pandemic Mitigation: If you go to the gym they're pretty rigid about social distancing protocols. I feel like there's been a solid effort at ensuring everyone stays safe. Location: You can do virtual gym from home or go to the actual gym in Redwood City. The gym is great -- it's a full gym dedicated to personal training so there's not really many people around. There's even showers. Pros: Knows his stuff. Very knowledgeable about the human body and what muscle is which and how to stretch. The foundation of my training with him is balance and frankly, no other trainer bothered to address this very obvious issue before him. He's very flexible and can work around your unique issues. I have a few of health issues and physical limitations so Max has been great at working around them. He also keeps things constantly changing so I'm never bored. He's good at motivating you when you want the motivation, but also good at backing off and letting you do your thing if you don't want that extra push. It's really rare to see that in a trainer. Usually they're one way or the other. Lastly, he doesn't just stand there and look at his phone. It's so frustrating to me when I see trainers looking down at their phones while their client is working out. I feel like if you're going to dedicate an hour to someone, dedicate that hour. Cons: If you go to the gym the parking lot is small and can sometimes fill up. It's only happened once in my 3-4x/week visit since June so take that as you will. read more

I began my search for a personal trainer a couple of months ago. Max of Reboot Health immediately responded and I made an appointment for a consultation. Best decision I've made. I realized that at my age a rigorous workout should be with a trained professional and not in a class without personal attention to performance and form. Max has taught me how to: #1: safely warm up #2: properly lift weight #3: understand specific muscle groups and to use machines with correct form #4: the importance of repetition I now look forward to working out. I have more confidence and I feel more energetic. Thanks Max!! read more

I've worked with Max for many years. He is so passionate about fitness and health. Max is kind but honest and gives great advice. I often seek guidance from him and trust his input and opinion. I have spoken with some of his other clients and they were pleased with his work as well. read more

When searching for a personal trainer, my SO and I decided to try Max since he was one of the few to offer small group training. Three months in and I am still surprised he is able to come up with new exercises to incorporate into our weekly workouts to keep them lively. He designs the workouts based on our personal goals but also uses the fact that there are two of us to create engaging partner exercises. Max has shown that he has a wealth of knowledge when it comes to personal health and training that is only amassed from a passion for his work and several years of experience. He was able to spot the physical limitations of my SO's hips and knees without us telling him and includes flexibility training in our workouts to help alleviate the pain and improve our range of motion. He also demonstrates all new exercises and stretches and clearly explains how they affect our body. Finally, Max makes working out in the morning actually enjoyable. When working out in the past, I have usually stuck to evenings since I feel groggy and less energetic in the morning. Max's amiable personality and humor wake me up and make it feel like I am working out with a friend. From our experience and speaking with some of his clientele, I can tell Max really cares about his clients and does his best to help them succeed in reaching their health goals. read more

TL:DR; I have been training with Max since the Summer of 2019. From my experience with different gyms and trainers, I can highly recommend Max. Approach to clients: I started training with Max after an exceedingly long period where I really deprioritized my health and fitness because of work. I really appreciated that Max really did not care what shape I was in but was simply happy that I wanted to do something about it. The other thing that has worked well for me is that Max is always encouraging but never overbearing or pushy. Both in terms of workouts, as well as to readjust my mental model that put work ahead of health. He listens, is attentive and engaging in sessions. He also has a good sense of humor. Fitness and Training: One thing that I really like is that Max trains with a comprehensive approach to fitness including not just strength, but flexibility, balance, and functional movement. He is knowledgeable about everything you would want a trainer to know; what exercises does what, human anatomy, nutrition, exercise equipment, the complete package here. Scheduling: Max is super flexible when it comes to scheduling. He does his best to try to make things work. I have had to reschedule things (sometimes on short notice) and he is always understanding and done his best to make things work out. During the worst periods of Covid, we were able to continue training through video sessions. Summary: Max is a great trainer, not just because of what he knows, but because of his interest in having his clients improve their lives through fitness to do the things that they want to do. No matter what your age, or where you are in terms of fitness, or where you want to go, I think Max can help you. read more

Max is a phenomenal trainer! I came to him with a very difficult physical goal and so far we have hit almost every milestone needed. He sat down with me, created a comprehensive plan complete with workouts, meal plan, gear needed, and life style changes I could make to help support reaching my goal. He not only leads me through awesome workouts weekly, but he has taken time out of his schedule to run with me outside of the gym to help me get started with building my cardio stamina. I don't believe I could have chosen a better trainer. Not to mention he's pretty funny, and for the wealth of knowledge he brings to each session, he is very affordable. I highly recommend! read more

I've know Max for over 8 years. Being a former personal trainer for 7 years I know what it takes to put your clients first and give them the tools they need to change their lives for the betters. I can honestly say that Max not only has the knowledge but also the personality to connect with clients and make them a better version of themselves. He speaks from experience and has a wealth of knowledge and experience that he can draw from to connect with his clients that are achieving their goals. read more

I have been thinking to start working out to shape up my body but could not have chance especially due to covid. I thought It may be good idea to start with someone who can guide me for work out because it is sometimes hard to do it by your own without deep knowledge and motivation. So, I started searching trainers close to my address and I was able to find Max with really good reviews. I contacted and he replied quickly. We set up some time to discuss how he plans workout for his clients. He initially did couple sessions to understand where I am and then provided me a lot of information if I want to do work out sessions with him. What I liked most was he knows what is doing not only for weight lifting but also nutrition and other required movements for the body. I signed up and have been enjoying my progress so far. He designed the sessions for my goal and he guides me setting up new goals once I reach them. It is only 6-7 weeks and I go to 3 times a week, but I already started feeling the change. He is challenging me every time and also motivating to keep up the hard work. He also closely watch how I perform and when he feels that I have problem with a training, he quickly finds a solution for me to fix the problem such as stretching special parts of the body and so on. He also keeps good conversation during the training and you would not feel bored at all. We not only work for muscle weight also work for balance, strength, movement, endurance and so on. read more

I have been working with Max for the past 6 months. I have always been somewhat fit but Max is helping to me get to a new level. I am so impressed by his knowledge around fitness and health. He uses this knowledge and his experience to tailor the workouts to achieve your goals. He will also adapt in the moment to give you the best workout and stretching that your body needs. Not only have I gotten in better shape and more flexible, I have also learned so much from him. He is very knowledgeable and is always happy to answer my questions around working out. He has a great personality and makes working out fun! What I get is that he cares and it shows. I think he is a great guy and an awesome trainer. read more

I have worked with several different trainers over the years, and I have to say Max is hands down the best!!!! I appreciate his emphasis on all-around fitness and health, including flexibility and functional movement. He does a great job of helping me feel motivated and he helps me avoid the pitfalls of all-or-nothing thinking which have sabotaged a lot of my previous weight loss efforts. Since working with him I have lost about 15 pounds, have fewer aches and pains, and feel more energized in my daily life. I highly recommend Max no matter where you are in your fitness journey. read more

I was searching a personal trainer and came across to Max. He is an astounding trainer. If you decide to lose weight, shape your body, stay healthy or something like that, Max is the right address for you. You will see the first results after 6 weeks if you work with him and do everything right. He gives everything you need, you just need to follow schedule. He will not be only your personal trainer but also he will be your good friend. Thank you Max! read more

I have been training with Max for about 3 years. I wanted to get back in shape and loose some weight. Not only I have lost 30lb, but have been able to do start running again. I have done 8 races in 2 years. But the biggest thing for me was that Max help me to get in shape fo my first bikini competition in May 2014 at age 48 and finishing at second place for my age group.My body fat went from 38% to 20%. I now have a new passion for fitness . He worked a program for me and helped with nutrition and supplements. My family is thrilled for me!. He is an excellent trainer and cares very much for his clients wellbeing. read more

Max is the best trainer! He tailors the workout to meet your individual needs. He gives you all the tools to maximize your success, including workout tips and food tracking. Meal plans, great exercises, unique workouts, all while keeping an eye on your form to ensure safety. Max's knowledge about nutrition is very helpful. He keeps me in check when I eat something bad, and encourages me to replace it with something better and healthier. I highly recommend working out with Max. He will change your life. Max is the best trainer! read more

My first ever review on Yelp goes to Max!! My positive experience of training with Max needs to be shared and I genuine hope it would benefit more people. My work requires me to sit in front of computer for around 10 hours a day. As a result, my body is very rigid and tense and I feel less inclined to moving around because I feel tired already by sitting there. After working with Max, I am much more flexible and feel more energetic. I take breaks more frequently because I enjoy being active! Max also helped me pay more attention to how much I consume everyday and as a result, I feel lighter and can jump higher :P. read more

Max is awesome! I came to Max pretty far along with my weight loss journey, I had already lost about 150 lb and had quite a bit of muscle loss as well as loose skin. After three weeks my body fat % has gone down and I am in the best shape I have ever been! I only wish I had started sooner! Max is super easy to talk to, very knowledgeable and funny! He got me on supplements and helped me tinker with my diet until it was were it needed to be. He also got me signed up with various fitness apps that track food, fitness, progress etc. He keeps the workouts exciting and changes it up every time which is awesome because that's exactly why the gym can get boring on your own. Not to mention he helps you stretch out at the end which is very much needed for sore muscles! Hands down one of the best investments I have ever made. read more

I've known Max on a personal and professional level for 7 years and feel extremely comfortable speaking to his quality as a consummate fitness professional. Like any good trainer Max methodically designs his programs and pedagogy around you; delivering fun, challenging training sessions oriented around your goals. But to me what defines Max's style, if you will, is his calm gentle soul, motivating through example and encouragement, not screaming out for more reps. Max will not make you want to work harder for him but for you and his client roster of success speaks to his capabilities. So when you are shopping for a coach to guide you on your journey Max should be at the top of your list. read more

I am in the category society deems a senior citizen. Working out is essential my health. Reboot Health has been successful in keeping me focussed. I have had major surgery on my knee and my trainer, Max, helped me and continues to assist me in long term recovery and strength. I highly recommend Max to anyone who wants expert guidance in physical health and solid nutrition advice. CB read more

Max has changed my life! Prior to meeting Max I had been wanting to get in shape and become healthier, but lacked the knowledge and consistency to truly effect a change. Max has been doing this for years and his deep expertise in fitness and overall health is apparent as soon as you meet him. Max worked with me to explain that seeing results requires lifestyle changes that go beyond training sessions with him, and provided the necessary education, guidance, and information (exercise materials, meal plans, etc.) for me to approach my health in a more holistic way that extends beyond Reboot Health and into other parts of my life such as healthier diet, consistent cardio, better sleep habits, etc. Having now spent ~6 months training with Max, I have lost a significant amount of weight and am faster, stronger, and with better stamina, but most importantly have more confidence knowing I am actively addressing one of the most important things in life--overall health and fitness. I have also suffered from severe and chronic back pain for most of my life, and this has led to difficulty working out, along with a number of other injuries. Max specializes in clients with similar issues, and has helped me to not only work around these injuries, but also directly address these issues through strength and flexibility training with proper form and steady improvements. As a result, my back is in a much better place and my knee is pain-free for the first time in years. Finally, Max makes working out fun! His positive interpersonal style have made it a pleasure to wake up early in the morning to go work out (something I hated doing prior to meeting Max). He's got a great sense of humor and incorporates a supportive and encouraging style that is incredibly effective in helping me push past my limits, hit new milestones, and achieve my goals. Overall, training with Max has been game-changing for me and I would strongly recommend him to anyone looking to make a similar change in their life. Just be willing to be patient, because Max is the most desirable trainer in the Peninsula, which means he rarely has an open spot for new clients. But you might get lucky like I did =) read more

We needed to get ourselves back in shape. We were inconsistent and needed some guidance. We have been working out with Max since January and we are so glad we found him! He is wholistic working on all areas of fitness: strength, balance, flexibility, endurance and more. He also helps with nutrition. He provides you with a program you can do on your own, in addition to working out with him. We have found him to be flexible to meet our needs and schedules. If you are looking for a trainer, you have to check out Max! read more

Max is an excellent trainer. I've been training with him for about 3 months now and my experience has been very positive. In particular, I appreciate his focus on all aspects of physical fitness (nutrition, cardio, strength, therapy...). He's also great at utilizing a diverse set of routines. I've had nearly 30 sessions with him, and each time I've learned something new. Overall, I'd strongly recommend him! read more

Max is fantastic! With this whole pandemic I have found it really difficult to hold myself accountable to goals I set for myself. Since I discovered Max 2 months ago, I have already seen drastic changes in my strength and body. He has helped me start a fitness journey and stay committed to it. Even on the days where I don't feel motivated, I leave the gym feeling 10x better. He is super well organized and very professional. He is very knowledgeable and I would recommend anyone of any level to him! read more

I love training with Max! During covid it had been really hard to find the motivation to workout. Max has always been super organized anf professional compared to past trainers. I am always looking toward to come to the gym for an uplifting and motivational experience. As someone who just started lifting, Max has been very good at pushing me, but at the same time paced me so I don't burn out. After 6 weeks I can already see a big difference in my form and physical appearance, and it's all thanks to Max! read more

Max is awesome! He knows A LOT about all thing health and exercise. I am not someone who enjoys working out necessarily, but Max has made the experience enjoyable to a point where I look forward to it. He's also very patient and will take the time to explain each exercise, and how they relate to the other exercises you're doing. Also, I'm already seeing great results. I thought I had chronic back problems ... nope ... apparently, my back is just weak and needs to be stretched. It's pretty cool to see yourself doing stuff you would've NEVER thought you'd be able to do just a few months before. I highly recommend Max for anyone from a total out-of-shape noob, to an experienced body builder. read more

Max Rocans was my trainer from a different gym many years ago...I went from a size 16 to a size 4. I recently saw Max & he mentioned about Reboot Health. I have been training with him now for about a month...I am liking my new transition...Max is quite knowledgable & very professional. Thank you Max. read more

Reboot Health - Trainers Near Me - San Carlos, California

This fitness programming is the best in the business. I cannot recommend Max's guidance over anyone else's. His professionalism and knowledge are apparent from the moment you shake his hand. Every moment that I spend working with Max is time well spent and well directed towards my fitness goals. If you're looking for a personal trainer or someone to write a program to meet your specific needs look no further than reboot wellness. read more

Max is a great personal trainer! He composes a meal plan guideline for you to follow, takes measurements and tracks everything so you're able to see your progress. I've been working with him for almost two months and have definitely seen results. The workouts are tough and he pushes you, but he's a great motivator! Also, he has you keep a food diary and checks it regularly and provides feedback as well as recommendations for changes in diet. The fitness center is smaller, but it has everything you need for cardio, weight lifting, and much more. I would highly recommend Max! He's really nice and knowledgeable and is committed to helping you achieve your goals. read more

I've been training with Max for over three years and would gladly recommend him to anyone. He's knowledgeable, places a high importance on stretching and form, and can accommodate various fitness levels and injuries. More than that though, he's a good person who truly does care about his clients and their success. Oh, and he also helped me get in the best shape of my life! Max is awesome! read more

My wife and I decided we needed to get fit and lose some weight. She found Max Rocans through YELP reviews and friends. Max is outstanding. He will make an assessment and design a plan to meet your needs and goals. Not being one that has ever "worked out" in the traditional sense, he is very good and demonstrating the exercise and ensuring we have the correct form. He pushes us and yes we are sore at times but we both feel much better about our overall conditioning and health. If you are interested in working out, I would highly recommend talking to Max. read more

Best. Decision. Ever. I consider myself a fairly active person (I love to dance, hike, take yoga classes, etc.), but I've never considered myself an athlete (never played sports). Enter Max. At first I was just planning on doing a few sessions to familiarize myself with the machines at the gym. Before I knew it, I signed up for 20 sessions, then 30, then another 30. Why? Because Max has shown me what is possible! Max is experienced, knowledgeable, professional, and just a really great guy. I love learning to work with weights and trying new things like MMA. I thoroughly enjoy my workouts with Max and am constantly inspired by him to challenge myself and take things to the next level. He has also given me great tips on how to work through my knee and ankle injuries through rolling and stretching. I can even run again! A nice plus is that, although weight loss has never been my main goal (I simply wanted to become more fit, stronger, and rehab my injuries so I can keep up with my two young kids), people have noticed a change in my body (for the better). My next major goal is to complete a Spartan this year, something I would have never thought possible a year ago. And I can't imagine doing it without Max by my side, to coach me and cheer me on. He's more than your trainer. He's truly your friend. read more

Max Rocans is the epitome of a Fitness Coach. Unlike other gym "trainers", Max creates a custom fitness plan which includes a wide variety of contributing factors like meal plans, strength training, cardiovascular training and even suggestions for your workplace office set up. When I first met Max I could tell that he is truly passionate about his work. Plus, he is so professional and very organized. I cannot believe results I have achieved with Max's help. He taught me proper stretching techniques, amazing (and fun) circuit training exercises and he got me on a custom diet plan. All these things I would have never known or done if I was flying solo. His passion and his drive motivated me so much that I've decided to enter a fitness competition. Max, of course, is there to make sure I am competition ready by my target date. Overall, Max is just a good person and a pleasure to work with. I look forward to whatever goal I will set for myself next and I'm sure Max will be there to help me. read more

I love working out with Max! He's very knowledgable about overall fitness and nutrition. Having kids and a full time job makes working out difficult, but he is great at making his schedule work for us! He is prompt, and very reliable. Max is great at creating new exercises each time, which makes the workouts different and fun. He even talked me into a standing desk at work, which has greatly improved my posture and lower back issues. I would recommend Max to anyone who needs a trainer with a flexible schedule, a genuine love of fitness and nutrition, and an engaged mentor. Glad I found him! read more

Max is extremely inspirational and motivated to help people achieve their dreams of losing weight and being healthy. He works hard to make sure you are getting the best results and he goes out of his way to ensure your success. I've been training with him for almost a year and I continue to value his words of encouragement and making sure that he is helping me put my best self forward. He truly is a great trainer and he can definitely help you make your health dreams come true too! read more

Max truly is an amazing trainer. I'll echo the other reviews here by saying he genuinely cares about your goals and being your partner/friend in this. The reality is that exercise is 20 and nutrition is 80. When it comes to the exercise aspect he'll get you 110% of the way there. The nutrition comes down to you ultimately, but Max keeps you accountable by checking in with you on nutrition too. Personal training sessions aren't cheap, but if you are willing to commit then these services pay you back tenfold in the results you'll see. I never had muscle definition before but saw noticeable results within the first 2 months and 4 months in was even better. For anyone looking to gain strength, definition and a trusted advisor in your fitness/weight loss journey, definitely reach out to Max. read more
