Why go to GNC?
I dont know if everyone here orders their supplements from bodybuilding.com, but if you dont and you still visit GNC, maybe its time you check out the prices on this site. I started out going to the store, thinking I like reading labels and getting personal advice, my mind has quickly changed. The last time I went there was a woman working there that must weigh at least 300 lbs of nothing pretty, and she was telling a customer how well Hydroxycut Hardcore works. How she takes 6 a day. My boyfriend had to leave the store to keep from exploding with laughter. I would rather get my advice from a person that has clearly, and I mean clearly, had success with whatever they are using. Seems weird to buy fat-burners from someone that is obese. Not to mention how much it costs to buy it there, even with the discount card at the beginning of the month. And the Whey they have tastes like a monkey’s @ss. I believe I have become a bodybuilding.com customer for a long time to come. Hope you do the same.

The prices on bodybuilder.com are great. I think I might get some BSN Cellmass from bodybuilder. At GNC it’s like $50.00. But on BB, its $36.00. That’s awsome!
I hear you about obese people working at GNC or a gym. But there is nothing those places can do about it. You can’t discriminate in this counrty. But I really don’t understand why fat people would really want to work at a gym. Unless it is for a cheap membership.
Keep up the good work with you goals Carolina. And don’t worry about your progress pics.

Ya I’ve quickly come to realize that GNC doesn’t have a competitive price on anything even with the discount card (which you should’nt have to pay for). Order your protein and amino acids from True Protein. Get all other lower weight stuff from Ebay. Save more money than I can even keep track of. Also the sales people at GNC tend to be pushy and ignorant, which is an anoying combo.

GNC is crazy. You would think they would hire someone that knows something about supplements. I think the job qualifications must be just able to point and read. when you ask a question about a supplement they pull it down and read you the box. I can read myself!
About the obese people…I am consider over-weight/obese for my size and I have lost 82lbs. I think I am pretty good with supplements
and how they work. I’m not perfect though, still learning. I do have a lot of people that my advice, but most of them are over-weight. 
I think that if the results show then I would consider what they are telling me.
But I do understand what you are saying.
And, I do my all supplement shopping here.

I think I’ve been a GNC twice in my life. First time I was totally new and they talked me into buying some super weight gainer with 4000+ calories in it and the second time I was wiser and just walked out of the store after they tried to sell me some other stuff that I didn’t want or need.

Uhm… I work at GNC, once a week. (I get a 30 percent discount). But, I have to agree with you, about the obese people, and the high regular prices!

That is funny cause I have been to GNC before I started loosing weight and a lady who was heavier than I was was trying to tell me what I needed to do to loose weight. Who the hell did she think she was. I laughed in her face and turned around and said to my friend maybe she should take her own advice. It is unreal how a "health store" can hire what they are trying to prevent.

I agree the prices here are great, even when I convert the dollar to NZ
. Plus I get my stuff within a 4-5 days of ordering - that’s Boise, Idaho to frick’n Cooks Beach, NZ in 4-5 days! I have mail from within NZ that takes longer than that lol. Hey, by the way, did you ever think that the 300lb women may have weighed 400lbs? Progress is progress. Just a thought
