  • GNC sucks, but...

    ...But the Pro Box they send you in the mail is a pretty damn good thing. It was full of samples of good tasting stuff to get you hooked. But I hate going in the store because the salespeaople are required to upsell you on a membership. Its bullshit , why should I have to pay $40 in order to get a discount? All that earning points crap, I guess its good but why dont they just make their expensive rip off supplements cheaper to begin with?

    Re: GNC sucks, but...

    I went into a GNC for the 1st time in ages a few weeks ago...needed some pre-wo and didnt care to shop online, coupon codes, etc.. to save $5 and wait 3 days.
    They didnt try to sell me anything, prices were competitive and they price matched anything I could find on amazon. I was surprised.
    When I go into those places or anywhere I definitely give off the dont try and sell me anything vibe!..lol
    I doubt they can compete on quality proteins though vs bulk suppliers.
    I've noticed this with a few types of retailers...figure out a way to match online or die.

      I remember back in the day when GNC was the go-to place for protein and such. I honestly can't remember the last time I walked into a GNC. Crazy how times change.

        That membership used to be $15 a year, That is nuts but I am sure you are getting more now. We go in there occasionally, if we are in a mall. Fuzo usually has to go in there for a drink and a bar. Then he teaches the people a thing or 2. I do like the Vitamin Shop by us though.

            I go to vitamin shoppe which their store brand is pretty good and way cheaper than GNC. I do like looking at GNC's 50% off section when I go in. I have go some good stuff.

                Yep, same here. If I'm going local then it's Vitamin Shoppe for me as well.
