Active Nutrition

I used to go to Nutrishop, vitamin shoppe, and GNC but that’s before I found this gem! Recommended by my personal trainer, this is the go to place for your supplement needs and all.
I’ve had nothing but great experiences here and genuine opinions of certain products.
They always have the oh yeah ONE bars — although some popular than others so some might be out of stock… But nothing a call ahead won’t fix!
The best prices. The best products. The best service. Other nutrition places don’t compare!

Love this place for all your nutrition and protein needs! My coworker told me about it and I stopped in yesterday to pick up some bars.
Really great prices… cheaper than Amazon and they don’t charge tax on protein bars and they consider it a food product.
They also carry all the NOW vitamins and great prices.
Plus they are super friendly and helpful. I will definitely make this my regular nutrition spot!

Active Nutrition is my absolute favorite place to go for protein, vitamins, etc. The whole team is super helpful and they’ve always come through with great recommendations no matter your fitness level. I can’t imagine shopping anywhere else.

After a few years off from training I decided to come back into the body building world once more. My nutritionist and trainer recommended some supplements to help with my workouts. I came to active nutrition because GNC doesn’t have any of the good stuff. I came by with a list of supplements and Joe showed me where they all were and even helped me understand what each supplements were good for and which flavors he recommended. Very knowledgeable guy and was very friendly. I been coming here for the pass 6 months now every single month to re-​stock. I’ve gone to GNC in Dublin next to the safeway off santa rita and I have to say the workers at GNC don’t know anything. I ask questions and all I get back was them reading off the labels. I rather buy from a place where they understand and know supplements and who actually uses them.
Love active nutrition. Will be going back.

I’ve been buying from Active Nutrition for as long as I can remember. They have several great locations throughout the Bay Area.
I’ve always had the best service and advice from BIG JOHN, Todd and Phil throughout the years. The best prices and no BS selling me things I don’t need.
I wouldn’t shop anywhere else.

I consistently purchase the Quattro protein powder here. Hands down one of the best sports nutrition shop around the Dublin/​Pleasanton area. Very fairly priced as well. The protein I purchase here is cheaper than on Amazon so props to that. The guys working here are very friendly and helpful. Will continue purchasing at this store.

best place for supplements. there are a few others around but they are way over priced. tons of selection here and these know know their stuff if you need advice. good job guys.

I always come here for my supplements. The staff is awesome, friendly and the customer service is on point! They are truly honest and the best thing is… when they do have any pre work out samples, they provide, and also explain the product. They really enjoy fitness and helping others achieve supplement goals lol. You can catch then at the gym sometimes. Very knowledgable on fitness as well! Check them out peeps.

Love love love this place. Has and will always be my go to supplement store as long as I live in the area. They don’t push their own brand products on you, or any brand in particular period. You get the honest truth with them. All the guys that work here are some of the most genuine guys I know, and are more than willing to help. Competitive prices and I love the atmosphere and friendly faces I see in here. The protein and quest bars get me every time :)

I Came in today with my boyfriend in search of a fat burner. While looking around we found a few other things we wanted to buy. There was only one sales associate working and he was a real short mid 40s Asian man. He was helping ring up an elderly customer and had a few people waiting for his help. She asked about the point system and he said what is your last name? She had a thick accent and when she recited it to him He got really frustrated and huffy and puffy. She finally pulled out her ID for him to read off of and apologized. He told her don’t apologize to me, apologize to Everyone your making wait. Are you kidding me? I felt so bad for this poor old woman. He then proceeded to keep making fun of her and almost mocking her. He finally Finished with her and asked us what we were looking for. We told him and he said its over there and pointed. We told him we needed some help picking one out since we aren’t experts at this. He looked us both up and down multiple times and said you have to understand a fat burner is not a magic pill it’s not going to make you guys skinny. We both looked at each other, shocked that this man was so disrespectful. He proceeded to tell us that the the pill would not make us skinny two more times, and was a waste to buy. Isn’t he supposed to be selling us on this? We both walked out of the store. I wanted to purchase a lot of good things in there but because of the poor customer service won’t be going back. I won’t recommended this place to anyone, ever. Stick with GNC!

Josh, Joe and Nick (who now is in San Jose) are not only helpful and passionate about fitness but they are also examples and inspiration for anyone. They are incredibly professional and knowledgeable. I have shopped with active nutrition for many years now and will always keep coming back! Prices are incredibly competitive and you know what you’re getting when you walk out the door. You’re not just buying something because someone said it would work but you’re buying something because you now know how it works what it does and how it can help you.

Best customer service when it comes to a supplement store, they do not pressure you to buy anything unlike GNC, all the guys there especially Joe and Josh are highly knowledgeable and treat you like part of the family

Great place to go for your nutritional supplement needs! My husband and I have gone here for a few years and have always been given great information and they have the supps we need :) I appreciate the samples they have given out as well whenever I was curious about a product.

Came here on a whim a while back over a year ago so i can’t remember who was behind the counter, but dude was swole. I think I came here because I originally asked the guy at sprouts dublin (also big guy) who works in the nutrition area if they had any per-​workout stuff and they recommended you guys.
Another person was in there so I had a few minutes to look around. The guy behind the counter asked if he could help me with anything. I told him that i had tried a friends per-​workout years ago called super pump 2000 and i was looking for something similar to that. I expressed that I had my concerns because i remember it kicking like a mule and boy did i have an amazing workout! but it was CRAZY! lol. The guy was honest and told me that he didn’t know about that particular one and started to ask me some basic questions to assets my needs as well as my use of pre-​workout/​coffee/​soda/​caffeine. He suggested that maybe I start out with some caffeine pills because there is no point to overload the system with stims. He was right because they are cheap and work well. No lie! CHEAP! and he threw in some samples of c4. Wow what a great guy!
I had been to both 24 and gnc and those guys try to sell you on whatever and its sad. Crap even my dad caved and one day ended up with some amino acid mix from bally fitness.
Active Nutrition did not try to sell me something I didn’t want. respect.
I don’t visit that part of town often anymore, but I will and would recommend visiting and supporting this over gnc any day!

After moving to the Bay Area, I was looking for a new place to buy my supplements. I stumbled upon Active Nutrition one day and was blown away. The products they carry and the prices can not be beat! The knowledge of the staff was also very helpful. So when I moved back to Sacramento, I was pretty bummed I would no longer be able to support Active Nutrition. That was until Nick let me know that they can ship me my order. I was in pure shock! I contacted Nick on a Monday night and put in my order and when I got home the following day on Tuesday, there was a package on my doorstep from Active Nutrition. Now that is some serious customer service!!! So thank you Nick and the rest of the Active Nutrition crew for always having the best customer service in the industry.

The staff is very helpful and they have a lot of product I enjoyed the dedication and loyalty of this company. Ask for Nicholas P. He went above and beyond a regular sales rep. Very satisfied with his place. Check them out drop in.

What To Say About Active Nutrition
Well the first thing would be that the staff is completely awesome! I went in there not knowing anything about what I was truly looking for, these guys really set me up on a great work out suppliment plan, they not only taught me how to use the product but they also gave me the best advice when it came to working out.
I keep going back there because they have the best Products in town and I trust them, trusting someone that has a big influence on what I take is very important to me, and I can say that I can trust that they will never give me the wrong advice on what I am putting into my body. With so many different options for different needs its very important that the person giving me advice knows what my goals are and match my pre work outs, post work outs with what I am wanting to accomplish. I also appriciate when they tell me that I am doing everything right with the suppliments that I am taking, time and time again I go back to them, and I will always go there.

Seriously just had the best experience here! Joe and Nick were both very helpful. They listened to my health/​nutrition goals and then recommended some supplements. They were both very knowledgeable and it was clear that they are passionate about their job and where they work!
Another thing I really enjoyed about this shop is that they were not pushy about buying supplements, instead I left feeling educated, and i feel 100% confident in the supplements they told me about.
They will definitely see me again :), and if anybody asks me where to go in the Tri-​Valley for supplements, I’ll have no hesitation recommending this place.
annnnnd they have quest bars!!! (For cheaper than you’ll find in most places) and you can mix and match to make your own box.

Definitely a great place to come to get away from GNC. The staff here are really cool, chatty but not intrusive and not trying to sell you anything or convince you of anything.
Have a great selection, with just about everything you would want in a supplement store.
Prices are high, but you can also find deals.
Great alternative to
other «health/​nutrition stores»

I have a hard time walking into nutrition shops and not feeling pressured into products. They let you browse and make sure you know that they are there if you need help. They have the best prices in the area and lots of great products! Very knowledgable staff.
