    I personally dislike GNC, and I think alot of people here do too.

    They seem to just be money hungry dum dums when it comes to supplements.

    I go with Vitamin Shoppe and the internet.

    what kind of people go to this gym? hardcore weight lifters who want to gain a ton of mass, they know what they're doing, and have been doing it for years? or more of the men and women who have a little bit of money and are trying to give themselves a place to get away and get themselves into better shape, while they can socialize amongst themselves? lol....cuz if the later is the case GNC is perfect....if not i'd look into a different franchise....GNC has a bit of a reputation as you've seen from the posts before mine....and it'd probably save yuo money to open up with a different store.. the name GNC will probably be pretty expensive....

    I agree. If it's not a hardcore gym, it'd be a great investment (depending on the location/population of the area).

    I don’t think gnc is a good investment. They are over priced and they don’t have quality supplements. The word is starting to get around that their products are not quality and they will continue to lose market share. In addition retail is suffering the market is slipping into a recession and supplements are in the wasteful spending category.

    Open something, anything, besides a gnc. Even if one opened up next door to my gym I would not go there. Popeye's is popular in canada but I don't know what's the shit in the US.
