Horrible customer service! I'll never shop there again. The owner has a bad attitude and doesn't care for his customers.

Love Joe! He's so knowledgeable about all of the supplements! Only place in SD where I stock up on my celcius and vitamins

Gotta love the owner of this shop and his suggestions when looking at buying anything off the shelf. He's not driven by the big sale and sells you the best value, which has been the case during a few visits. We enjoy CBD products and while one brand in particular has some pretty slick marketing, he'll be the first to admit that it's not the best value. Pull a few bottles, read the labels, do the math, and make the decision that you're most comfortable with. Having chats like this with an honest business owner had allowed us to locate a particular brand of CBD that we like and the price is right. read more

There's really only one way to describe the owner of the shop: COOL AF. There's a way that you do business right, and part of that is a stellar attitude that makes you want to come back if nothing else but to talk to the person. Joe has that! He knows how to work with people, he knows his stuff, and he's happy to work with you as customer. I will literally go out of my way to come here as opposed to the other ones for now on. Bang drinks - can't beat the price. Protein and test boosters - got you covered. Bars, mostly the higher fat selection but they are tasty! Need supplements? Advice? Come here. read more

This place is everything. Joe is seriously the man. He actually cares about his customers and wants us feeling good. Also incredibly knowledgeable. Best recommendations, care and overall a great place to purchase vitamins and supplements, protein powders, anything! read more

5 stars for Joe !!! This man rocks, knows his stuff and always makes great recommendations. Parking is worth it always

Stumbled upon this shop after a business meeting and let me tell ya, i walked out with products i truly needed. Joe is super knowledgable and helped me out with strict dietary needs. I was looking for a certain supplement to help with my vegan keto diet and i left satisfied with my purchase. I was originally only supposed to look around but got sold on all the goodies!! Great shop - great staff - great location - great vibe I will be returning when i run out of my Keto+ & Owyn drinks! read more

There is a reason this place as such high ratings. Joe is the man! Not only is he super friendly and gives you his undecided attention but he is also extremely knowledgeable. He hand picks the perfect supplements based on your desired results. If you like to work out and live in the area I highly recommend going to nutrimart. You won't regret it. read more

My gym buddy recommended this place to me and I've been grateful ever since! The location of the store is on a one-way street in the heart of Hillcrest . Parking can be hard to find. I usually end up circling around the block a couple of times. Sometimes, I secretly park at Rite Aid down the street. If you are willing to take the risk, it will save you a bit of time on a busy day. Jose is probably the coolest guy I've ever met at a nutritional store. He's very knowledgeable and is patient with any questions that I have. At the time, I was fairly new to fitness and didn't know much about the products in the store. He asked me about my routine and if I was dieting. He gave me great advice. Not once did he try to sell me on any of the supplements or products he had available. He told me to come back when I was prepared and committed to a healthy lifestyle so my money wouldn't go to waste. I actually walked out of the store without buying anything. When I returned, Jose remembered who I was and what we talked about. He got me situated with certain products that fit well with my routine. Ever since that day, Nutrimart became my go to spot. Can never go wrong when Jose always has great deals for me on proteins and supplements. read more

In my pursuit of optimal health, I have been buying protein powders, bars, and other supplements from this store for the last 10 years. I have compared prices at many other stores and the best value on protein powders and bars is here. Be sure to try the BioPro Vanilla, my favorite. The owner, Egan, and his staff have always provided me with prompt excellent service, focused on helping the customer over profits. They are happy to ship orders, also. I highly recommend this store. read more

Nutrimart - Hillcrest - Bill Pearce - Vitamins & Supplements Near Me - San Diego, California

Joe the sales manager was very knowledgeable and they had the supplements I was looking for a great price!

By far my favorite nutrition shop! Joe is a one man show but he's super knowledgeable. He actually takes the time to listen and answers questions. He even gave me samples of protein powder to try so I wouldn't have to waste money on a whole container I didn't like. He even walked me through the best ones for taste and performance based on my needs. He really knows his stuff when it comes to health and nutrition. His store may look small but it's packed with everything you need and more. Even the hard to find birthday cake ONE protein bars. This is my go to shop! read more

See all

The guy behind the counter is always friendly, and extremely knowledgeable. Most people that run a shop like this try to upsell you with a bunch of crap you don't need. But if something is not the best for you, he'll tell you. I always stop in here after the gym to pick up my protein and its always cheaper than buying it at the gym. There was this customer that walked in all tweeked out and then asked for some crazy hardcore ephedra. The guy behind the counter was advocating against it. Which I thought said a lot considering most people would have sold it without any questions. Its a small place but a lot of different selections to keep you motivated and in shape! Higly recommend this place! read more

I typically order supplements online since it is significantly cheaper than most brick and mortar stores (see GNC). Went into Nutrimart Hillcrest because they had my protein powder for only a couple bucks cheaper than my web source. With the $10 coupons Nutrimart always circulates it was like $15 cheaper including the shipping I'd have to pay. Even better, I was looking for a few other supplements. The dude matched my price per gram on comparable products. Pretty freaking sweet. Now I no longer have to wait for my supplements to be delivered in the mail. This place is the $hit. They have a really great selection of high quality products. New lifelong customer fo sho! read more

One step inside this store and a 2 minute conversation with the owner made me feel foolish for ever having gone into a GNC. This guy seriously knows his stuff and is more than willing to share his knowledge with you if you have any questions. He's made a customer for life read more

Joe is the man! If you want sound advice on the things you should be putting into your body Nutri Mart is a great chain of stores to frequent and Joe in Hillcrest in particular has a lot of experience with all of their products. read more

The customer service here is OUT OF THIS WORLD. Joe really knows his stuff (and I don't mean .. reading off what's already on the bottle/container or spewing off bullshit you see on the internet, but actually knew some biology I learned in school). He also knows his products very well, and when one pre-work out didn't work for my friend and me he suggested another and it was perfect. Honestly, these new ab lines wouldn't have been possible without him. Thank you so much Joe. Even if I end up moving cities, I am definitely contacting you and getting things shipped. read more

Joe is AMAZING! Not only does he provide high quality service but, he also takes time to be the most genuine and involved with your routine. Wether you are working out, cutting weight or simply pursuing a healthier lifestyle.. this is the place you need to go. I am a person who hardly works out, rarely eats the "appropriate" items to be considered "healthy" and he still puts up with me and finds the best products to suit my requests. GO HERE FOR EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO BE FIT & SEXY! read more

My husband and I love the Nutrimart location downtown ... but the Hillcrest location, not so much. The products and prices are the same but every time we go to this location, it just has a completely different vibe, the employees just aren't that nice. We would rather drive completely out of our way to the downtown location than come to this one. Customer service matters. read more

The number one place to get your supplements. Joe is an experienced, friendly, knowledgable guy who can tell you exactly what you need for the bulk/gain/cut to match your body type. If you park in the back, you get your parking validated. read more

I've been going to Nutrimart in Hillcrest since 2006 and trust this nutrition store over any other in the San Diego County area. The shop is always stocked with the best products, competitive pricing, and knowledgeable staff. Joe, who normally runs the shop when I come in is the nicest man and the most knowledgeable person when it comes to sports nutrition. I see him reading and comparing new products for his own knowledge and he always steers me towards products that will benefit ME... not the sales of the store. Not only is he smart, but his physique is an inspiration as well! I trust Joe and this store with all my sports nutrition needs... because I've gone from 160#'s in 2006 to 190#'s solid now... Thanks Joe!! :) read more

I love Nutrimart. Everyone is so happy and eager to help with any questions or concerns you might have. Nutrimart has an extensive selection of products and supplements, and the staff really take the time out to help you choose the right products to reach your goals. Nutrimart is truly a cut above the rest. I'll never go aywhere else, or order online again. In response to the negative feedback I saw posted: The guy behind the counter is AJ and he was incredibly helpful to me not only in finding what I needed, but also in giving me specific instructions on the best way to take my supplements, even writing it all down for me and making other suggestions. This after spending at least 10 minutes on the phone with me the day before listening to my goals and answering question after question. He was professional, knowledgeable, and very nice. I have to question the validity of your feedback based on my own experience as well as your attitude. read more

Stopped in here on vacation on a walk through Hillcrest. Woman at the counter was super friendly and helpful in picking out vitamins for my needs. Price was right too. Very close to bus. read more

Hands down the best place to get your supplements! Everyone there is very knowledgable and helpful in finding what you need and they're like family! read more

I should be paying joe, he is so knowledge about everything in the store, nutrition, fitness, and more. Every time i go in there he teaches me something new. The highest level of customer service! He will help you find whatever you need for your fitness goals and give you options to work within your budget. If there's something he doesn't know or have he'll look it up or get it for you. Every product he's recommended, I've loved and he's throughly explained the product and how to use it. I seriously recommend stopping in, even if it's just to check the place out, I promise you'll learn something new. read more

I was there on Sunday the 15th, ONLY because I had gone to a movie at Landmark Hillcrest and I still had time on my 3-hour parking. The sales guy was behind the counter, talking to a couple of people that seemed to be more friends than customers, judging by the conversation. He did not even take notice of me. I was looking for Bio 2 bars so I scanned their protein bar section. It was very small, unfortunately. I turned to ask him and he still yaking away with the two individuals. A female customer whom I hadn't noticed myself approached the counter and I stepped back. She stood there and waited too. It was then that i just turned and left. Hell, I could have successfully shoplifted something from there for all the attention he gave me! read more

I LOVE to come here for all of my greens powder drinks and spirulina. Joe is just awesome! He is SUPER friendly and extremely knowledgeable. If I have any questions on the supplements that I take, he takes the time to explain the benefits and best time to take them during the day. He also gives helpful tips on other diet questions that I have. This is the ONLY nutrition store I go to in San Diego and Joe makes the experience even better! read more

I work and live right nearby so it was nice to see a great shop with great prices, the guy there knows his stuff and I felt completely comfortable taking his advice on a new protein powder that I hadn't tried before. The preworkout I use is sold here at a great price. This shop is better than any of the big chain branch nutrition stores! Check them out read more

Customer service here is the best. The worker is always helpful/friendly and very knowledgeable about what he sells. He doesn't try to sell me crap that I don't need like those scrawny yolos(you on lifted once) that don't know crap about supplements like at gnc. I buy something from this place at least once every 2 weeks. This location has very comparable prices to the internet prices. Sometimes, I find stuff here cheaper than bodybuilding.com. If I'm bulking or cutting, he will suggest something that might interest me when I ask him. read more

I have a lot of food allergies, and they helped me find a protein bar that I can actually eat. They also had a better price on it than I could find anywhere else. They guy who always helps me (the owner?) is always friendly, courteous, and knowledgeable. read more

This is THE place to go for all of your nutrition and supplemental needs! Great prices and Joe is so knowledgeable is all aspects of health and nutrition. read more

They only got the 1 damn star because they are in a convenient area. I try to support local businesses because it's nice to see stores open and not a "For Lease" sign in the window and I love seeing Hillcrest alive with opened business. This is why I shop online quite a bit with no qualms. I was running low on protein powder and remembered that they were there. I walked into the store and the guy working there was talking to a customer and he did say hi so I'll give him that. I figured the guy was paying for his items and would be gone soon so I felt no need to interrupt their conversation and waited patiently at the back of the store. Keep in mind the store isn't that big so it's not like I was out of sight. The conversation kept on and one and had nothing to do with supplements after 5 min. Now, if they were the only two people in the store you can talk til the cows come home but when customers walk in, the talking stops and you get off your ass and take care of the customer. I don't care how in shape you are and how good looking you are. NO excuse to be that damn lazy. There are no prices on the products which is what I needed help with and I wanted more information about changing a product. So I suppose I need to interrupt the two so that I can get help spending my money in a store that obviously doesn't care about me. I finally walked out and here is what the guy behind the counter says to me. "Did you have a question I could answer for you". I simply replied "No, that's okay I'd hate to interrupt your conversation" and I walked out. Lame ass decideds to ask if I need help as I am walking out? Here's the pisser, the guy use to work at Nutrisport which was actually what that place was and he didn't even remember me even though we worked out at the same gym in the past and we use to work at the store everytime I went in to buy supplies. Unfortunately, I can get a better price online and not have to deal with the piss poore customer service. After this, I have no qualms about shopping online and won't go out of my way to try to shop locally. read more

Nutrimart is at a convenient locatino to me (near the 24 hour fitness that I work out at) and is 20% cheaper than online and easily 30-40% cheaper than GNC. Additionally, the guy behind the counter is very friendly and knowledgable. There have been several times when he has recommended better or cheaper alternatives to my regular supplement routine. Definitely a good place to shop. read more

The only supplement store that I go in SD. Joe is the best! He knows every single product he has. Variety in products too. Recommended 100%

There are five stars for Nutrimart itself but want to comment about the public parking (behind Restaurante Arrivederci) that is also managed by Restaurante Arrivederci. Many times I have parked in that lot, went to the parking attendent to get my ticket and shopped at Nutrimart where they have ALWAYS validated it with a stamp. This afternoon at 4:15 PM I parked in car in space 23 in the Public Parking and went to the attendent, an older man with grey hair wearing glasses and an audio headset, to get my ticket but he said it would cost $1.50. I tried to explain that we were shopping at Nutrimart where they would validate my ticket but the man argued that Nutrimart doesn't pay or participate. This man has given us tickets in the past and we always came back with a validation but now he wants us to pay money. I said that he and the other female parking attendent (whose name is Katia) have always given us tickets in the past and he denied and said that he is going to "have a word with Katia". I told him he was full of crap and he screamed at me and said he's worked there for 18 years. This man has business working as a parking attendent, treating people so poorly and trying to skim money from unsuspecting business customers. Parking is an issue in Hillcrest so I may have to shop at another store because of the mistreatment I received by the parking attendent. read more

I have been an elite athlete for over ten years, and have had my fair share of supplements and nutritional stores. The staff and selection at Nutrimart in Hillcrest is hands down the best experience I have ever had. I have been a loyal customer of theirs for nearly 4 years now, and they never disappoint in friendliness, advice, and selection. Ask for Joe, and don't waste your time or money anywhere else! read more
