GNC

I love GNC and the selection. The GNC brand protein powder is really great and competitively priced. However, my biggest gripe about GNC is that the associates just will not leave you alone and let you browse. I appreciate your knowledge of the brands, but I’ll let YOU know if I need help — please stop following me around the store. Thanks!

Nice spot, helpful employees. Stopped in to buy some protein and they explained all the different types and which ones will work for what I’m trying to achieve. Even though I ended up hating the protein I purchased, I still appreciated the help. =-)

I’ve been taking off the shelf one a day vitamins from Target or other drug stores for several years, but never seemed to really notice an impact on my physical well being. Come to find out (Thank you Dr. Michael McCracken) that most of the supplements found in drug stores are chock full of calcium phosphate, which acts as a filler and breaks down the nutrients in the supplements before our bodies are able to properly absorb them.
Since there is a GNC store smack next door to my favorite Starbucks haunt, I decided to go in and see if these guys knew what they were talking about.
Troy was fantastic. He took the time to explain to me the differences between the various women’s lines of supplements and then based on my lifestyle and goals, recommended the Women’s Ultra Mega multivitamin, along with one of their Well Being products focused on women who are physically active. I also picked up some high quality protein powder and off I went to try out my new supplements.
All I can say is W-​O-​W! I am definitely a convert. Only one day after taking both the multivitamin and the Be Hot line from Well Being, I was full of energy and ran one of the fastest miles I have posted in a loooong time.
I need to make sure I commend Troy on his professionalism, knowledge and patience in covering all the different products with me. It was nice to go into a store where the staff knows and actually believes in the products they are selling.
Since I signed up for the GNC gold club at the time of purchase (which was free and gave me a discount) I will be able to go in during the first week of each month and stock up on my goodies at a nice discount, But even without the discount, the difference in my energy level and the ability to really push myself in my workouts are worth the extra money for a quality product, I was so impressed with the service and quality of product, I went back in two days later and updated Troy on my experience. He was genuinely interested in my feedback and said he expected to see me once a month to restock and update him on my progress.
Bravo GNC and Troy!
