Location: super easy to find on the corner of Hamilton and San Thomas Expwy. Look for the dope blue Evogen car.
Parking: plenty of parking available! Might get tricky during the holiday season because they're right next to a popular restaurant, but that's why we plan accordingly, people.
Staff: very welcoming! As someone who has worked in customer service before, I appreciate when a company exhibits excellent customer service. Additionally, they are quite knowledgeable whether the topic is their line of supplements, nutrition or fitness. Friendly yet professional.
Owner: Farinaz is a dope human being. F'real. If you haven't met her yet, what the heck are you waiting for? I'd go out on a limb and say she knows 99.99% of all her customers' names. We also love that as successful as she and her husband (WORLD FAMOUS Hany Rambod) are, we get to see a more personal side of them when we walk in that you don't see on social media; as parents, homies, etc. Score another one for successful people of ethnic backgrounds in the freaking Silicon Valley.
Inventory: for a relatively small spot, they have brilliantly constructed their shop to maximize the amount of room them have, even utilizing high shelves. With that said, they've pretty much got it all. My knowledge of supplements is limited to protein shakes, energy drinks and pre-workout powder, but this shop has an exuberant amount of supplements rivaled only by the internet. Oh, and speaking of which, they take order on their website, too. Very convenient if you can't make it into the palace.
Store: very clean, always sanitized, and fully stocked.
Extras: the palace also offers other services to the public. Their employees are also CPTs and Nutritionists. And I love when the palace has events where they take off a good percentage off of their products. And from time to time, they have guest appearances from bodybuilding athletes both past and present.
This place is dope. And I'm going to hate it when I move out of the Bay because then I won't be able to stop by in person. Check out the Nutrition Palace whether you're a seasoned gym rat or someone who is at the beginning of your journey. Tell them I sent you. I mean, you won't get anything for mentioning me but, I got clout. It'll be a good conversation starter read more
