    I have come to GNC for many, many years now. They always have what I need for a great price. The staff is always super knowledgeable. I can always rely on their information for things that I am unsure about or have questions regarding. The store is always super clean. Not sure what else I can say except if your not going to GNC you might want to think about giving them a try. Everything I buy is super high quality and works great for my health needs. You won't be dissatisfied or disappointed.

    Had a great experience when I stopped in today. John gave me a hand finding what I was looking for as well as providing me with some great input on specific supplements. Very friendly and knowledgeable employees always bring customers back. Thanks John

    John and the rest of the staff are great, knowledge and GnC’s products are great quality, I buy most of my supplements there, it’s only what they dont sell I buy elsewhere

    Not the same GNC as it was before the pandemic. Location doesn’t have the items that I’m looking for and online doesn’t have the items in Canada. Sucks as I used to come to this place all the time but guess some good things have to come to an end.

  • 5/5 Zach R. 3 years ago on Google
    Nothing but excellent things to say about this place. John goes above and beyond to make the best recommendations on products and is always extremely helpful and informative. Highly recommend!

  • 5/5 Brad D. 3 years ago on Google
    10/10. I went in for a gamer/nootropic supplement and they didnt have exactly what i had wanted but staff member john pointed out a similar product and worked exactly as i wanted and expected. Super friendly staff will answer and help with any questions you have. Will definitely be returning

    I want to start of saying I never feel the need to make a google review ever but I made an exception for this place. My first time visiting a GNC and right off the bat I was greeted by a helpful lad named John who took the time to recommend/educate me on products that fit my goals and needs. I ended up buying a tub of the gnc cinnamon toast crunch and I'm loving it! Thank you GNC on clyde!

  • 5/5 Chance M. 3 years ago on Google
    Very impressed with this store. Amazing variety of products and John who was working was incredibly friendly, but more importantly knowledgeable of everything inside the store. Will defiantly be going to this location for all my future needs!

  • 5/5 Julianne G. 3 years ago on Google
    Great service and very knowledgeable. Brenden was very helpful at guiding me through different options that suited my needs.

  • 5/5 Ben R. 3 years ago on Google
    This is a great location to pick up supplements. John helped me grab a whole pile of things that I needed including preworkout, BCAAs, creatine, and Veggie Greens. He directed me to where I was able to grab items on clearance and this saved me a lot of money and I got a great deal on a number of items. Great store and helpful staff, would highly recommend.

  • 5/5 Farid N. 3 years ago on Google
    I was at this location today and I was greeted by John, who was extremely helpful in answering my questions and giving recommendations. He was also welcoming and very friendly from the start and he helped me pick out my product with great advice. Would definitely recommend this spot for your supplements and most things training related.

  • 5/5 Jordan L. 2 years ago on Google
    Best supplement store in the area. Prices are competitive and with price matching, can’t really complain. Staff know exactly what they are talking about and will work side by side with you (if required) to tailor each recommendation to your needs and goals. Great place to get some of the essentials and to learn something! Manager is doing a great job creating a knowledge filled work environment to help customers get the most out of their money!

  • 5/5 Mohamed S. 2 years ago on Google

    I come here everyday as part of my routine and every single time I enter the store I'm greeted with excellent customer service. John and Brandon are always ready to help and so welcoming. They are both extremely devoted to their job and are so informative! I recommend this location 100% Love going here to start off my day. Great Vibes! shout out to John && Brandon ! You guys rock!

  • 5/5 Rebekah 3 years ago on Google
    Fantastic customer service, would give a 10/10. Big shoutout to John who helped my sister and I out with our protein powder shopping. So informative and got us the best deal for what we were looking for. He also recommended us a new flavour to try which is now one of our favourites. Have always had a great experience with the employees at this location. They are very genuine and don't try to scam you whatsoever.

  • 5/5 Anthony B. 2 years ago on Google
    Stopped by for some essentials and after I definitely compelled to leave a good review for the friend and very accommodating service I received. It didn't hurt that there was a great promotion which I was also informed about and took advantage of. Would recommend stopping by if you're looking supplements, the team is relatable and engaging.

  • 1/5 Addy 10 months ago on Google
    This is so strange because I swear I bought the exact same powder (GNC PRO Whey Iso burst double chocolate) in April & now June yet this new one has more powder in it but the taste is just horrid. It tastes like the powder is moldy or something, I'm so confused. It's the exact same product but the production quality has dropped this much? Did the formula change or something...? I only drink it with water and always has but the difference between the one bought in April and the one bought in June is just astonishing. (in a not good way)

  • 5/5 Justin B. 3 years ago on Google
    I went to the store this morning. When I got there I met John, he was very knowledgeable, pleasant and helped me with everything I needed. It was an awesome experience, and one that I will surely repeat. If anyone is looking for a store that cares for clients I would not only recommend this store, but I would also recommend John to anyone.

  • 5/5 Mohamed A. 8 months ago on Google
    I had a great experience, and great customer service. John is very good at what he does, knowledgeable and honest. I enjoyed my time in the store and they have a customer for life. I highly recommend this store.

  • 1/5 Jeff O. 7 months ago on Google
    This is for online but still all one company. Placed an order a week ago. Company lost the order. Never got shipped, but chose to just not notify me. Offered to reship, but only after waiting four more days to research what happened. Then it would be 2 days additional time to ship. A good company would have just apologized, and arranged overnight delivery. I’ve gotten next day delivery shipped from Toronto to Ottawa. This company can’t even ship locally . And refund? They were quick to take my money the minute their fraudulent email stated it was shipped, but 4+ days to reimburse. Just a bunch of thieves.

  • 5/5 John D. 7 months ago on Google
    Excellent customer service, attentive staff who are very knowledgeable on their products and they even price match too! I highly recommend visiting this store for all your supplement / nutritional needs. Definitely will come back!

  • 5/5 Luis M. 3 years ago on Google
    John and Jordan were extremely helpful with assisting my fiancé and I this morning. They were extremely helpful, knowledgeable on different products, and friendly. 10/10 customer service and we’re very satisfied with the products they recommended to us.

  • 5/5 Bayan M. 3 years ago on Google
    Friendly and clean GNC location. John is very knowledgeable on the products and all the flavors I always go with his recommendations and never look back. I would recommend this location to anyone.

  • 5/5 Lane's W. 3 years ago on Google
    Great location! I'm not much of a gym person, but when I had a question their employee Jordan didnt sugar coat the answer. Didnt pull punches with the terminology, trusted that I could keep up to speed. Very helpful and very valuable for a beginner. I'm glad I came here to get started.

  • 5/5 Stefan R. 3 years ago on Google
    I don’t usually write reviews but John is more than an employee that works at GNC he is an encyclopedia of information. I had done my research before going but I was educated in this store by John and walked out knowing more than I had going in. And that has been my experience for the past two years!!!! If there was ever a 10 🌟 rating they would get it

  • 5/5 Kat 3 years ago on Google
    Thank you to John for the wonderful experience both times I visited. The first time he went out of his way to help make personalized recommendations for me and to help answer all my questions. Because of his great customer service and since his recommendations were really great I was happy to visit this location again today. I was pleasantly surprised when he remembered me from my first visit and was able to make some new recommendations for me that I can’t wait to try! Thank you John for making every visit so far such a positive experience. 😊

  • 5/5 SK R. 3 years ago on Google
    This is THE best GNC in all of Ontario. The staff there are very helpful always give you good information on all the products without pressing you to buy something. John and Brenden the 2 main staff members there are the best salesmen at any GNC, they give you their honest opinion about all supplements and always find best ways to give you great deals on their products. 5 stars.

  • 5/5 Kyle S. 3 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Christian O. 3 years ago on Google
    I live a little bit far of this location in Gatineau but even the extra I am paying in gas is worth it for the products they have at this location for one but two, the staff there know their stuff when it comes to suggesting what is genuinely right for you, particularly John, thanks for that. I am due for a supplement refill soon so I’ll definitely be back.
