The Vitamin Shoppe

I love Vitamin Shoppe! They typically beat General Nutrition Center (GNC) on prices with products of equivalent quality.
What makes this Vitamin Shoppe location is that the store is much bigger and better stocked than the normal smaller stores scattered throughout the city. On a few occasions I’ve come to this location after visiting Broadway/​Astor and Union Square East locations to finally find the product I was trying to hunt down.
Throughout that process store staff at the two previously mentioned locations called ahead to this 23^rd location to hold products. The staff here were always nice and accommodating.

I come here frequently to grab a protein bar on the way home from school. They have a nice selection of protein bars and supplements even though it’s a small space. The staff is very friendly, and I will continue coming here for my protein bar fix!

Avoid this Vitamin Shoppe location because the workers there profile certain customers and do not seem to trust them in the store. The clerk behaves in a very untrusting and overly overly zealous manner. Customers, walk out rather than be subjected to this kind of prejudice treatment. Otherwise, the store is well stocked and the items convenient.

I went in to buy some pills for my girlfriend who is sick and needed them. My card is not working and 40 cents short. The girl and the guy working on 03÷04÷15 would not even stay open a minute later while I ran to the ATM. Luckily the guy next to me lent me 40 cents. Pathetic. They could not wait two minutes for someone who was sick and needed something.

The only location I’ve gone to with such personable and willing employees! Just as soon as I walked in, I was greeted and offered assistance. The employee was well aware of their inventory and immediately told me which location the item I was looking for actually is. He promptly offered to ask them to put the item on hold for me so that I can pick it up right away!
Definitely will be coming back to this store for my health needs!

I used to go to a lot of different Vitamin Shoppes in the city but having frequented this one for the past three years I have to say it is my favorite.
Vitamin Shoppe locations are always preferable to GNC in my opinion as the staff are less likely to bombard you with hard sells on products and information that is more often than not incorrect.
As a writer for bodybuilding and fitness magazines and websites for 30 years I don’t need to be told what a product does — especially if the info is wrong as is often the case in GNC.
Hey but enough about GNC and back to this my favorite Vitamin Shoppe location in the city. Friendly staff and always well stocked… I love going here and only if I am in a hurry and out of the area will I go to another location.

I’ve been to plenty Vitamin Shops, but this one stands out for its service. Came here a couple times, and always get asked if I need help and when I o have question they bend over backwards to help me (unlike some other vitamin shops). The stores is pretty typical and usually well stocked, but its the service that makes this place shine.

Definitely a nice place to go. Nice staff. Even if a person working there is not familiar with what you are looking for, they all go out of their way to help you find what you need.
Went there and system reflected having one of this particular item in stock but the guy couldn’t find it on the shelf. He searched high and low until he found one box in the bin of new merchandise that had come in.

YO BRAH! I gotta get my protein fix this morning because after I got up I was HANGING and BANGING THE GUNS in the gym this morning! I was dreaming about blasting the BI’s and TRI’s and had to get a quick session in before work. The GUN SHOW needs to be fed some serious muscle juice! You know what I’m saying?
HELL YEAH! The MASTER BLASTER is back! The kid is ON FIRE and is once again the DEVIANT of DE-​STRUCTION! As I am on a mission once again to destroy my body, tear it down to the bone, and build it back up to AWESOMENESS I need to FEED THE MACHINE with high quality nutrients!
BRO — this Vitamin Shoppe is only a few blocks down from my office! The place is packed wall to wall with muscle building, energy, vitamin, and recuperation products. There is always something on sale here. SCORE — two cans of Met-​Rx Protein Plus for only $ 6 this week! BRAH — I just slammed down 51 grams of protein, 230 calories, and only 1 gram of fat for breakfast!
Super convenient as the #6 subway stop is right outside it’s front door. Clean, organized, and has some nice peeps working here. They know what MY MACHINE needs to THRIVE and SURVIVE!
I AM WIRED UP AND READY TO CRUSH IT AT THE GYM AGAIN TONIGHT! 12 weeks to get PRIME for summer!
You feel me BRO?
