Max has a vast knowledge of nutrition, exercise, physiology, etc., which other reviewers have discussed below ... and I concur with their enthusiastic endorsements! The other thing that makes Max a great trainer, and that sets him apart from others, is the encouragement he gives to his clients. One thing Max does that is unique is to make you feel good about yourself, no matter what level of fitness you're at, and then he encourages you to do your best from there! He helps you break the barriers you might place on yourself; for instance, you might not believe you can lift that 20 pound weight, but Max will help you realize that you can. While he is showing you proper technique and pushing you to excel, his manner is happy, helpful and supportive. You can count on him to help you get to the next level, and you'll actually enjoy the experience. Max also provides personalized and individual plans for exercise and nutrition, with the result that you feel that sense of being personally taken care of. THAT sets him apart! I encourage you to contact him for a consultation - even if you don't live in the Bay Area, Max can design a nutrition and exercise program for you that is designed to maximize your health and fitness. If you do live in or around San Francisco, you'd be fortunate and glad to have personal training sessions with him.
Pros: His ability to encourage people sets him apart.
Cons: You'll have to go buy smaller clothes. :)
