GNC

I walked in today looking to buy my boyfriend a gift for when he returns from his trip back home. Frank and Connor (?), the shorter one, were both super awesome. They greeted me right away and listened to the whole reason as to my visit. I asked them endless questions as I am somewhat clueless to the supplemental side of health and fitness. They were both very knowledgeable of the products and their purposes and even my needs after a brief explanation of my day-​to-​day.
I got the gift I came in for and the GNC gold card which gives you discounts for a whole year if you pay $ 15 upfront. Awesome!
I don’t get paid til the end of the week so I didn’t get a few of the items they suggested. But, I will for sure come back when payday hits to get those items and bring the boyfriend with me!
These guys are kind and really listen to your needs and wants. I’m coming back ASAP!

cashier guy was too funny I asked for the Oxy elite Pro in the white cap. He said oh no we don’t sell that it’s been banned by the military. Then I walk over to the display case and there it is! I asked him to take it out of the case for me. I looked at it and said it’s been banned huh?

The selection is good and the staff will help you out with questions on supplements. The problem is parking is limited in this area and expensive. But this is a better alternative than the store on Market Street.

The store itself is just your standard GNC, doesn’t really seem any better or worse than others I’ve been to with regard to selection, cleanliness, etc. However, I felt like I should come give it a good review as a shout out to the amazing staff. The employees here are incredibly friendly and helpful, makes it a pleasure to stop in.

I bought three things from this GNC and Max (who was rockin the Ben Stiller, I’m a cool Jew look) overcharged me. His manager said he does it all the time.
Max charged me $ 19.99 for a bottle of Vitamin C that was only $ 13. I caught the error and brought it to his attention. Consequently, he had to make 3 transactions on my debit card. First, there was the initial overcharge. Next, there was the debit back to my card. Finally, there was the correct charge for the overcharged item. By the time I was done, I was exasperated.
I’d avoid this GNC if I were you. It seems that Max likes to try to rip people off. His manager seemed to know full well what he was doing, too.

Very impressed with this location! It made me a believer in GNC again.
Frank, the store manager, is beyond professional and helpful. He makes you feel special while you’re in the store, and doesn’t do a hard sell like I’ve experienced in other stores.
The other employees I’ve met who work there, Max and Connor, are knowledgeable about the products and make sure I’m getting the best deal when I shop.
This location is somewhat tucked away but MORE than worth going out of your way for.

This is the best GNC I have been to and all I can say is… Frank is beyond professional, friendly, very knowledgeable and extremely helpful. He is a real GEM top notch customer service all the way. Thank you!

Although it’s kind of tucked away, this store is HUGE with a great selection of supplements. The staff is REALLY nice. I came in looking for a specific recovery product after the Nike half marathon. Even though they didn’t have it, they steered me towards the best option they had in stock and congratulated me on completing the half.

Frank is awesome

I’ve been coming here for a few years now for my regular protein bars and supplements. Frank is the best. I go often enough that he remembers me. He knows I try to get the best deal and really lets me get all my coupons… and makes sure the system will let me stack them.
Thank you so much for the awesome service!

Fabulous experience all around.
I came in with the deer-​in-​the-​headlight look, not knowing where to start. I needed a metabolic booster to supplement my P90X workouts, but I had no clue where to start. Should I focus on weight loss, dietary supplements, recovery drinks? All of them? Totally clueless.
They helped me right away, asking questions and making recommendations. I was surprised at how knowledgeable they were. My rep spent a solid 20 minutes chatting with me about each of the supplements, how they worked, and what the benefits were. In the end, I got a really great deal — 20% off for Embarcadero Center employees plus a buy-​one-​get-​one 50% off deal. I walked out of there with 3 months worth of supplements for the price of one month. Awesome.
He went above and beyond, explaining the best time of day to take each supplement (since there were no instructions on the packaging), and going over each supplement and what it was for. I highly recommend them to anyone, especially if you need advice/​coaching to help you reach your fitness goals.

This is one of the better GNCs I’ve experienced. The staff is friendlier and more knowledgeable than most, and they appear to carry several specialty products that many GNCs skip.

I had some time to kill waiting to meet with someone at Embarcadero center so I decided to stop in the GNC and look around. I am always running out of protein powder anyway.
The two gentlemen that helped me were awesome– I mean, the first guy let me know he was available to help but totally not pressuring me or annoying at all. .like some places can be. Nice and friendly but not overdoing it. Perfect! I asked him some questions about Casein/​Whey mixes, and he and his coworker took time to answer my questions and help me find a protein powder according to what I told them I am interested in. Yay!
They were so nice and helpful I think next time I’m near the Embarcadero I’ll just buy my stuff there.

My bike ride is about to leave soon, so I step into this GNC because i’m totally famished in need of some kind of supplemental energy and sustenance. So i’m looking around and Frank greets me… this guy was way too cool, totally knew what he was talking about, helped me to find what I was looking for quickly, and had the best customer service I have ever received from any GNC store. Frank even gave me a few samples of some FRS chewables… almost near the end of my ride I felt like I was about crash from exhaustion, but after one of those FRS chewables I was good to go. Right then & there at that very moment I was thinking «Right on Frank! good looking out.». Yo Frank here’s 5 Stars for not just doing your job, but for putting a little extra on top.
This GNC store is well stocked, has knowledgable staff with great attitudes, and wasn’t bad like all the other GNC’s i’ve been to where they’re pushy to sell, don’t really know what the hell they’re talking about, and I mean talk about endless jargon, and attitudy when you don’t buy.
This GNC knows w’sup…

Thanks to Dennis’s Review, I found out I had a GNC right by work. I decided to pop in for some supplements. Frank who I believe is the store manager is AWESOME, I walked in told him what my issue was and that I was in search for something to help with my training. He was a fountain of knowledge, not pushy at all which… let’s face it, in this economy, it’s a shock! The place was VERY well organized and I will defiantly be coming back!
