This GNC is located within the PX. It has everything you need and, in terms of stock, it doesn't disappoint. The sales people are young fit twenty somethings who are brimming with the typical good cheer of "We're young, healthy and hot--and we love our corporate polo shorts and khakis!"
The customers here are primarily Soldiers so this review is for them. As long as you're in the military, you'll do well to stick to this place for all your supplements for muscle growth, dieting and just about anything else.
GNCs on base have a constant gold card discount and also have an agreement with the military that none of the stores on military bases will sell anything (supplements) that may cause a Soldier to accidentally get a false positive on a drug test. If you go to a regular GNC off base, you won't have that guarantee. Sure, there are better, more cutting edge supplements on websites, but it's risky.
As far as protein is concerned, you can find a better deal for bulk through websites like bodybuilders.com, but if you're lazy and you just want whatever, you still can't go wrong with what they sell here.
The sales people have the standard product knowledge of most GNC employees and they will tell you about customer feedback so you will inevitably choose the best product for you rather than the priciest. They don't push you. They're not nutritionists so if you start asking about whey protein isolate or casium protein, they'll kind of shrug and divert your attention to their Ostrich Jerky on sale, which is pretty clever since they are tasty.
The store hours are limited because it's within the PX. Best time to go is during lunch. If you go right after work, there usually is a line and if you do need to ask them a question, you usually have to wait until they're done answering questions from a group of young Army privates who tend to say, in deep monotone Greek choirus unison, "Dude, I just want to get, like, massive--you got anything that will, like, get me totally massive? That would be tight." read more
