Anyone shop at GNC?
Never even entered into a store. Is it worth it or are the sponsors much better?

Well I use them, sometimes they have supplements on sale dirt cheap because they expire in less then a year which is sweet. I shop at sponsors as well, I am a cheap S.O.B so I usually shop wherever is cheapest.

GNC is ok if you're in a bind but the sponsors are better for prices if you can wait a day or two for delivery.
What did GNC ever do for you? Nadda! Sponsors help keep this board live, so why not give them your business :)

You've got a point there. A very strong one.

around here in Quebec GNC is the most expensive place to buy your supp. even with the card there's no point buying there, buy from the sponsor and help the board at the same time.

GNC is a rip off the sponsors are cheaper and you get better service, gnc is all about selling something and making money they will push the most expensive products at you all the time

Agree!
GNC stocks the stores with people that can barely speak english, let alone ever actually use a supplement, let alone give you ANY good advice about using supplements.
Shop at a store where the reps use / have used most of the products in the store.
IE. ME!

For a while here I had a friend who was a manager and got really good prices. Once paid $20 for a big tub of progressive vege`s greens. If working there can get you prices like that I sometimes wonder if I should just work there once a week for the discounts. But then they would force me to pimp their GNC multi`s and would not be able to live with myself for that. Or even worse "Hey buddy, you tried this celltech stuff? It`s awesome!"
Here in some stores I`ve seen some jacked dudes inside as I`ve seen some guys`s and wondered how the hell can they allow someone looking like that to work in their store. Once when I was there an employe was being asks questions from a client and he flat out said "I don`t know anything about these products" No joke. But the thing is people go there with the intent to buy something. So sure knowing your stuff and looking the part is good, but all they need is some drone to say "Yeah that will make you lose weight" to confirm what they already kinda thought. The sponsors here do have better prices than GNC, trust me on that as I compare costs of supps with a very fine comb...

I only use them because they have decent selection and its quick in and out in my busy schedule. I would order online but I have never really tried it for some reason.

Same I usually go buy protein when I run out and I hate waiting for stuff in the mail.

There was a multivitamin study that showed how few vitamins are actually in many big name products, GNC Megaman was one of them.
I don't shop there, or buy their products. I buy everything online.. always cheaper.
