GNC

Went in to check out to see if they had Epi burn. So I asked an associate for help! He replied «oh we don’t have that anymore» and that was it! I was hoping that he would of helped me out by finding another type of pill to take but «NOPE» nothing! Too bad, he would of made money for the company that day but NO! Customer service is needed at this store. I am an Assistant Manager at a retail store and I know what is «Customer Service» and this place ain’t got it…

How does this location have 4 stars? I’ve gone twice and both times I had to return what I bought. GNC Mililani even told me that they get so many returns from the Pearlridge location. First off, the sales associates didn’t even acknowledge my existence as I walked around the store. I know I’m tiny but who do I have to bench press to get some service around here? Then, when I finally asked for help looking for a good cleanser, the sales woman suggested their GNC 7-​day Complete Body Cleanse Kit. She said she was on it and highly recommended it, so I thought I’d give it a shot. My friend suggested I do some research before taking it because she didn’t look very fit herself. I thought he was being a bully but after doing some research I discovered it has a whopping 2.7÷5 stars as its highest rating on Google. Needless to say, I returned it to GNC Mililani. I wish this location would stop pushing store brand products on customers when 200+ reviews say to try something else. I am boycotting this location and will go to GNC Mililani for all my future health needs.

Of all the GNC’s I’ve ever been to, this has to be my favorite one!
Right when I walk in, I always get greeted by someone working, even if they’re helping someone else, so that’s always nice. I already know what I’m going to get so I go straight to the area but a worker always asks me if I need any help. Most times I don’t really need any help but when I do they’re there for me.
All the times I’ve asked questions, the workers seemed really knowledgeable about the products and would take the time to ask about me — like what I’m aiming to do (lose weight, gain muscle, etc.) and what my régime is like right now. Going off of my answers they refer me to a certain product or just give me advice on what can help me. I promise, I never really felt like they were just looking for a sale or referring me to the most expensive product. They always actually tell me about deals to help me save a couple dollars and anyone can appreciate that.
Almost every product I’ve ever been referred to has actually worked for me, the same thing goes for my boyfriend. Right now the Raspberry Ketones and CLA are doing it for me. I also usually go there for my protein, sometimes I get it at 24 Hour Fitness when there’s a sale though.
The gold card def helps.
The three main people that I always go to in that store I can say I trust because I also see them at the gym and two of them are actually coaches for the people that compete in the body competitions. One of the girl workers that competes in there always tells me about certain workouts to help me with certain parts of my body and I never turn down fitness advice from a chick with a bad ass bod! She also gave me a compliment so she gets an A in my book.
Overall, the workers are trustworthy, polite, super helpful, and the products only work if you put in work too.
The free samples also help :)

I usually go to the Ala Moana location but this one is just as good. This is where I seldom get all of my nutritional supplements other than at the gym (24 hour fitness). Nutritional stores and places like this are good because they have more selections to choose from and if you want something specific for your fitness or active lifestyle kind of goals then this is the place where to find them. They have everything from protein shakes, smoothies, bars, supplements, shakers, some active wear, and other things revolving around active lifestyle and fitness. The prices are decent and you can save more if you join as a member of their gold card program which is totally worth it if you buy from here on a regular basis. The store is conveniently located at the uptown side of Pearlridge Shopping Center right across from the food court and is right next to Pizza Hut/​Taco bell not too far and a couple of feet away from the ground level entrance. The customer service is good and they are knowledgeable about all of the products that they have at the store.

My BF and I always receive great, friendly service here! We’re always acknowledged and asked if we need any help — but they are never pushy about selling us anything we show any interest in.
I really like that whenever we do buy anything, we get free samples of really good stuff! And not just one or two different things for us to share — we both get some samples, which always come in really handy to take to work!
Whenever we’re at Pearlridge, we always stop by GNC — it feels like we go there more than the Ala Moana one… and we live in town!

I don’t come in often but when I do the staff is very helpful. Some times the re-​org the floor and I can’t find my vitamins but a few of the staff recognize me right away and point me in the right direction. A girl can get use to this kind of service. And the Gold Card deals are great. Even if you only buy vitamins a couple times a year like I do I still make out with their buy one get one 50% deals. I also indulge in some coconut oil from time to time and the snacks I find around the store keep my husband content.

Located inside phase I or «uptown» at Pearlridge Center is GNC. Directly across the food court next to Taco Bell and a jewelry store.
The BF and I were in need of new multivitamins/​supplements. I walked in and noticed they were having a sale on the «GNC Lean Shake» which I really like.
The BF went off somewhere else into the store, and when I found him, an employee had asked him if he needed any help. The employee turned to greet me, and asked me the same thing. Great first impression off the bat!
I told him what we were interested in, so he showed me to a new set of vitamins they got in, called the GNC women’s ultra active mega pack. It has several pills which are for this, that, and the other lol. Another customer was next to me and she even interjected into our conversation to rave about the product and how well it works to give her energy etc. I was sold. I also picked up two tubs of the Lean Shake in chocolate since it was buy one get one half off.
The BF inquired about vitamins/​supplements as well. He showed us the equivalent to what I got, but for men. He showed us a box of something (can’t remember the name)… but he also told us about another item that was very popular, that had vitamins and supplements to burn fat and build mass. That second product he mentioned was actually SOLD OUT on the island, BUT he said that if we purchased it, GNC would ship it to my house for FREE and it would arrive in a few days. Deal!
My Gold Card had expired (literally TWO days before this purchase), but no biggie, I bought another one for $ 10 (good for a year). The Gold Card really helps because they’re always having sales on a lot of their products. We ended up only spending around $ 160!
Chris was the guy who helped us… and come to find out while he was ringing us up, he’s the manager at the store! He was extremely pleasant, friendly, professional, and knowledgeable.
If you need to stock up on items, come to GNC at Pearlridge and see Chris. He’ll definitely hook you up with what you need!

You see it all over in advertistments on how important it is to live a healthy lifestyle and when you have determined it in yourselves to get up and get moving, you find that it is not cheap when it comes to joining up with fitness centers, boot camps, OR buying supplments from a store like GNC.
As you walk in this store, first thing you see is fat burner supplements because they know that everyone is trying to lose weight (like me).
Back in 2002 – 2003, when I actually went down to a single digit size, I was big on supplements and vitamins. I kid you not, I probably looked like a drug dealer because I had a rectangle box that was for my multi-​vitamin, B-​Complex, Ripped Fuel Fat Burner, and herbal supplements that were good for my hair, nails, skin, etc.
I also hunted around for the best tasting protein shakes (chocolate) and made sure that I made my breakfast and lunch every week for work.
Guess what… I have begun to do this again… the breakfast and lunch, that is.
As for the supplements… bleh…I walked in here and some of these prices were ridiculous. For a bottle of Acidopholus (for digestive system), it was $ 31.99!!! And you want to know something? Walmart has the SAME BRAND for $ 5.99!!!
Probably GNC is good for some people but not for me. I think I’ll stick with Walmart and buy a bottle of One-​a-​Day multi-​vitamin.
