This is a sports supplement store on the southside of town. They often advertise themselves on the radio and newspapers by having meet'n greets with MMA fighters to lure customers in.
The store itself is large and is filled with various types of sports supplements, fitness clothing, etc.
Shortly upon entering the store I checked out a few of my favourite supplements and was aghast at how expensive they were here. The prices for everything in Reflex are absolutely through the roof! Even worse than Popeyes.
Soon I was set upon by a salesperson(owner?) who started giving me a memorized sales pitch that would make any used car salesman blush. He went on about how he gave supplement advice to high level bodybuilders, MMA fighters, football players, yada, yada.
As I walked around the store, he followed me, trying to get me to buy his overpriced products with high pressured and manipulative sales pitches.
For instance, he enquired about my protein intake, and then said that if I didn't buy some overpriced "special" protein powder that I could damage my kidneys with excessive protein.
Garbage. You can consume as much protein in your diet as you want, as long as you consume enough water to go with it. That is a medical fact, look it up.
Next, I picked up a small bottle of pills that were supposed to increase testosterone in your body. He went on to tell me that I should used twice the recommended dosage to get real results from the product(so he could sell twice as much of the overpriced crap).
Funny thing is, I recently received an e-mail from a well established, reputable US supplement store urging customers who many have bought these pills in the past to get rid of them because they could cause negative health effects. This product was recently banned by the US FDA, and here this jerk was telling me to use TWICE the recommended amount!?!?
I couldn't take the high pressured, manipulative BS sales pitches any more and walked out.
Bottom line: The people who work at Reflex give out FALSE and POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS supplement advice just to sell you their overpriced products. They don't care about you, your health or your fitness goals. All they care about is your money and they will say almost anything to get it.
Do not do business with Reflex Nutrition.
Repeat: DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH REFLEX NUTRITION. read more
