Nutrition Zone

–i’ve been to this mall before, but never noticed nutrition zone. popped in, and to my surprise, they carried the OhYeah! One protein bars (which they don’t carry at GNC, my usual place… until now!). they had a good selection of flavours, including the new birthday cake. they were priced at $ 1.99 each with a «buy 3 get 1 free» deal (vs the $ 2.59 they charge at Vitamin Shoppe, the place I found em at last week)!
–they also had most of the flavours of the Quest protein bars and only charged $ 2.39 with a «buy 3 get 1 free» deal… definitely the best retail price I’ve found so far!
–they carry the OSTRIM beef, elk and ostrich jerky at the same price as GNC (although GNC gives you a case discount) but with more variety than the one my local place carries
–i was disappointed that they did not carry the Combat protein bars
–the store is small, but clean, well organized and bright
–all the prices are clearly marked, but I don’t think they offer discounts on bulk/​case purchases
–its located in a strip mall near a bunch of restaurants and small retail shops, but near a WalMart and Food4Less, so its a convenient location when you’re doing your other shopping
–there is tons of free parking right in front of the store
–the staff member, Nick, is super nice. he greeted me as soon as I walked in and showed me all the protein bars. he recommended different flavours based on his own experience with Quest and customer comments/​sales of the OhYeah One bars, but I can’t comment on his knowledge of the macros of the bars since we didn’t discuss it. we did talk a bit about liquid vitamins and I’ll be honest, he didn’t seem too knowledgeable on those two products. the checkout process was speedy and efficient, he thanked me several times for coming in, chatted a bit and was overall super friendly. he didn’t try to «push» me or upsell me into buying other items, which I frequently encounter at some supplement shops
–there is no loyalty card program here, which Nick tried to market as a good thing, but honestly, I like those sorts of promos
–the return policy isn’t as good as GNC (this place is store credit only and within 14 days, whereas GNC is refund within 30 days)
–they do offer a military discount and have specials throughout the store
–they also offer to keep a record of products you buy so you can shop quicker, which is nice
–i can’t really comment on the rest of the store and its items, but I will definitely come here for the OhYeah One bars and Quest Bars (and OSTRIM jerky if I happen to be in the neighbourhood) mostly because of the price and convenient location to me. the nice staff is an added bonus.

These guys are awesome! So knowledgable and never try to sell me anything I don’t need.

I walked in this store with a list of products I needed for my son who is taking a body comp class, and was immediately helped find everything I needed, the guy was very helpful in finding the best (not the most expensive) for my son. I had researched all this products online and was happily surprised that the total cost of everything was less than I had found online. Great customer service, great prices, I will definitely come back.

Save yourself the trip, go to another Nutrition Zone that’s not owned by this owner, I believe they own the one in Chula Vista as well. They don’t know a thing about customer service here.

This is the spot to go to buy all your bro — science needs: pre workout, intra workout, post workout, whey, fat burners etc.
On that note I was actually in need of Quest protein bars and my normal pre workout drink and decided to take on the brick and mortar store prices.
To my surprise the prices are almost identical to what I see from online retailers.
The gentleman working here is quite knowledgeable. I asked him for a pre workout that’s just nitric oxide and no stims. He showed me hemavol and I was stoked since that’s what I used to use. I’m amazed they even carry I force probably products.
Anyways, this place got most through stuff you want without waiting for it to ship

I came in during my lunch break to purchase some supplements to assist me with my weight loss. There was a gentleman that was assisting 2 men in the protein powder section so I just browsed the store. After about 5 minutes, the worker came to me to ask if I needed help. I asked him where the fat burner supplement was and he showed me. He was able to answer a few of my questions until he left to the other customers he was assisting before me.
When it came to making my purchase, I went up to the register. It took the worker a few minutes before he came up to the register to assist me. When he was ringing me up, I noticed they provided discounts to law enforcement officers. I asked if I can get a discount and showed him my badge. He said that I didn’t qualify for the discount. I disagreed with him and showed him my badge again and pointed out where on my badge that shows that I was I was classified under law enforcement. He proceeded again, but this time in a louder voice as to embarrass me that I didn’t qualify. I didn’t like that. I’m okay about not getting this discount but I didn’t like the fact that he tried to embarrass me, especially since there was a line formed behind me. I guess he felt bad and asked me to provide him my name and phone # and the manager would contact me. Guess what? The manager never contacted me. Maybe he didn’t get the memo.
I don’t think I will return to this location again. Actually, I’ll NEVER come to this location again. Though it was nicely organized and such, I didn’t like the customer service I received from this individual. Especially since I spend $$$ that day. I felt like I just gave my $ to a complete jerk. If your customers don’t qualify for this certain «discount», tell them nicely instead of trying to embarrass them.

If I’m visiting this Nutrition Zone, it means that I’m looking for something specific and couldn’t find it or I’m in the area. I rarely visit this Nutrition Zone, but had to make a stop because I was in the area and that one item that I was looking for was all out at the Chula Vista location.
This store is probably the biggest Nutrition Zone I’ve been to. Because this location is bigger, it also has a huge supply of your supplemental needs. Just a quick scan of this place and I knew that they had everything. This one is also owned by the group that owns the Chula Vista and Escondido location. In other words, I knew that I was going to get great service. As always, still the best prices in town and fairly close to online. You can’t beat Nutrition Zone when it comes to price.
Regarding the staff, great service as usual. Because I don’t come here often, there wasn’t anyone that I recognize or vice versa. As for the staff’s knowledge, I didn’t test it here. I knew exactly what I was coming in for.
Overall, still a fan of Nutrition Zone when I’m in California. Price, Value, and Selection… nobody even comes close.
PS: Doesn’t anyone carry D-​Ribose anymore? I know it’s old school to use, but it’s still effective for those heavy lift days.

I was just here and my experience was terrible! In fact the last 2 times I was here has been unpleasant. I don’t understand how some of their supps here are $ 3 – 5 more than the other nutrition zone (sports arena blvd) I used to come here and Memo (the owner) always tried to do his best to match the
price! Now here’s the thing, maybe it’s because he is the owner that’s why he can give discounts here and there whenever possible and that the other dudes are just working there that they can’t do anything about the price. Cool, but that’s not my point here. Big problem is these dudes I’m referring to got some arrogant attitude to say that they don’t control the prices, and that they never price match
blah blah blah. So now that’s a problem, I can’t stand stupid arrogant attitudes. Sometimes it’s not what people says that upset or annoys people, ITS HOW THEY SAY IT. So from now on, the new spot is nutrition zone sports arena blvd where everyone seems nicer and more pleasant to deal with. I could’ve rated this place 0 stars but gave 2 because I have had great experience in the past when Memo was the one that’s always there.

Nutrition Zone is definitely my new one stop shop for all of my nutritional supplementation needs!!! Both employees were knowledgable and were able to point me to the supplements I needed and were able to offer some suggestions for additional products.
Prices were reasonable and 5 stars for recieving exceptional customer service!

THEE place to go for ALL your nutritional supplements! But the best part??? Every single employee that I have talked to is happy and willing to give you advise, suggestions, and talk you through your regimen. I’ve never had that at any other nutrition store.
JR, Youre the man!
Huge selection, great stock on hand and convenient location.
I wont need to shop anywhere else.

Good place to buy your workout supplements. The location is kind of hidden unless you know about it. Same parking lot as Starbucks and McDonalds. Friendly staff here, I’m usually in and out in 3 – 4 minutes. Definitely helps that I know exactly what I want before I go in, but helpful staff and always fully stocked with products. Prices are better than GNC, definitely my go to spot for proteins and supplements.
