Every time i go to GNC, the guys there always try to convince me to buy stuff that i dont want. Like yesterday, i went to GNC to check out the supplement facts on NO Explode. The guy there then gives me a 30 min lecture on why i should buy some other product insted of NO Explode. He dose the same thing when i go to buy my protien shakes. I usually get Gold Standard 100% whey, but when i go there, he gives me a million reasons why not to buy it. Then he trys to sell me this crap called amplified. Do you guys have the same problem?

just buy from bodybuilding.com. it's cheaper without the stress. you don't need to ask a salesman questions just ask us. i hate gnc, at least the salesman. some 300 pound dude that smoke cigarettes and overcharges me 40 dollas for nitrix....ta hell with him.

[vicksuthar]

yeah, ill try that. I go there just because it is the only place close to my house where i can buy supplements.

[heydespo5269]

it's not horrible for say vitamins or maybe protein shakes, but when it comes to other products carried by bsn, eas, labrada, or gaspari they seem to over charge [especially by me]. I do however like the vitamin shoppe, only for vitamins. their prices are inflated on supplements as well ,but "fairer" on vitamins.

I get my glucosamine and multivitamin from a kirkland brand, sold from costco. it's like a bulk store. real cheap for vitamins and usually get a good supply.

Theres a good reason why they do it. If they don't push those products they will expire, once the prices get close to the experiation date (within whatever time limit) they SLASH it down.

Just try to get out of the talk.

that's true. one time i was buying these shakes, and because they expired in like 2 months he sold them to me for a buck each, rather than the 2.50.

but regardless, it's annoying to be hassled. it's not my problem if they don't sell it by th expiration date. if they wanna sell it faster, try a fair price

I try not to talk to anyone of them, but as soon as i enter the store, they start stalking me. And when i buy something that they dont want me to buy, they start acting like assholes. But i will try that bodybuilding.com.

[Thomas_Rivera]

Yeah. I just walk into a place, when they ask me what I want I tell them i'm just looking around. Then I pick what I want, put it on the table, when they offer anything I cut them off before they finish with a polite and direct "no thanks, i'm good with what I have here".

Its good to take advantage of GNCS prices, its like a holiday you never know what product is going to be put on at a cheaper price next. Sometimes the fun is going into the store, looking at the price then laughing like a school girl as you count down the days for the price slash.

Im a popeyes guy myself I find GNC waaay to overpriced.

[vicksuthar]

haha...its always good to go there when they have sales. Is the GNC you go to a big store? cuz mine is small as hell

[Thomas_Rivera]

Mine is small too. So they are especially overpriced.
