  Colin Triplett

  Owner

  Born and raised in Los Gatos, Colin has been interested in health and fitness ever since his first introduction to a weight room while playing sports at Bellarmine. While this was a starting point, it was not until college that he was driven to pursue a career in health and fitness. During his sophomore year, his grandfather passed away after a slow decline into worse and worse health. It is this experience that drives him to search both for himself and those around him how to maximize life, and avoid the pain and suffering that comes from loss of health and reliance on medicine. Quality of life is what matters most, and this is what Mint Condition Fitness is dedicated to enhancing for its members.

  Max Ferrero

  Head Fitness Coach

  Leading a balanced and healthy lifestyle has been Max’s priority since losing his father at age 56 to a number of illnesses that could have been prevented through developing better exercise and nutrition habits along the way. This experience initially led Max to focus on creating an active lifestyle for himself, turning into a marathoner and triathlete, and pursuing new activities like golfing, surfing, and even going on a 100km trek in Nepal. However, Max’s passion for helping others and teaching brought him to the world of coaching and to the mission of helping others reach their potential at Mint Condition Fitness. Max is most passionate about helping others exceed what they ever thought could be possible for themselves and celebrating these successes.
