GNC

I had vowed never to return to the GNC again, however there something I still needed and I was not going to trek all the way up Polk Street to make a purchase and get treated like (expletive) because the neighborhood isn’t that great and I look like I belong on the street (I happen to like the unassuming look on my lunch break). I needed some BCAA and decided I will try the GNC in downtown San Francisco. I walk in there and I believe another customer was in there as well. Joshua immediately greeted me and helped me get what I came for. He was so friendly and welcoming after my last horrible GNC experience, he managed to get me to purchase a GNC Gold Card. Never saw that coming because I was fed up with GNC after one bad experience. However, because of Joshua this GNC is going to my only shop while I am in the city.

I’m not GNC fan because they tend to be over priced on everything. They claim that it is because their vitamins are better but is it really worth the $ 10 extra for a bottle of Zinc? I am not fond of this place for another reason. The past 3 times I have been in, there are two older ladies working there. They are very nice but SUPER pushy. I go in looking for exactly what I need and they always end up telling me I need to something else. Today I went in for Iron and the sales lady lead me to calcium, multi-​vitamin and body cleanse before finally letting me buy my Iron. I am too nice to tell her just leave me be but I hate to have products shoved in my face when I have already said multiple times that I have it already!

this is the closest gnc to my place.
they always have plenty of protein/​vitamins/​thermogenics/​etc.
usually have some good deals.
most of the workers are nice but maria is really nice and very helpful
good location if you are out and about shopping.

Very friendly, helpful and knowleagable staff. Came here to purchase some supplements and there was no line, quick and hassle free. Here is to good health! :)
