The vitamin shop is pretty straight forward. They have great sales and the sales staff is very helpful. They always greet customers when they walk in the door. It's a pretty easy in and out. They also have a rewards system which is great if you use these kinds of products often. No complaints. Thanks for the great service read more

Good selection of supps, greater service. S/o to Rosanna and everyone else. Every time I come here the workers are always so helpful

I love stopping in at these nutritionist/vitamin shops because the clerks always know what they're talking about and can give me recommendations on similar products that I'm looking for, lately I've become really picky what I look for at nutrition stores, but I always feel like vitamin shops carries more for my needs than GNC does. As for this spot it was my first time coming here and I was very impressed. I don't like ordering my whey protein or vitamins online because that rarely works out, and I feel like I bought a knockoff product. Anyway, I will close out this review and give them A+ thank you for the hospitality and your patience when I asked about a thousand questions. I recommend this place. read more

Zero customer service! There were 2 males and 1 female behind the counter and the female was working at the cash register with a customer. 2 males talking to each other behind her about 5 feet. With $250 ready to spend I walked around looking at several isles with many options. Tried to get the 2 mens attention but then I thought they are ignoring me or just that bad of employees and walked out. See Ya ! read more

Wonderful service from Debb. She was very informative on brands, pricing, pros & cons of different products. Great personality, Great customer service. She gets my vote and my business from now on. read more

I love this place. Too bad there isn't a location in Santa Cruz; if you want a variety of products to supplement your fitness/health needs, a big, bright and organized store, and knowledgeable staff then you will say goodbye to GNC. Tried a sample of the protein pancakes from MetRX at the NorCal FitExpo 2014 and was so bummed when Active Nutrition didn't carry it. I almost resorted to eBay when I called and delighted to learn that this place has 'em. It was on sale - same price I would have paid on eBay! The guy that helped me gave me ideas on how to incorporate other nutrients to this delicious product. He did not try to sell me anything. He believes in living fit and healthy, I can tell. Saw tons of protein drinks, some I have never seen before. Then I turned and saw Quest Bars. I can eat that as a meal and/or as a treat. I love this lifestyle that I have embarked. I will be back this Thursday so I can get ready for my trip to Palm Springs on Saturday. Because vacation or not, staying fit and healthy is my priority. Those that do not live my life cannot and will never understand my vision and journey. I choose this lifestyle. #lvft #livefit read more

See all

This place is a value for money. I am a weekly customer and buy a lot of vitamins and proteins powder from here. What I like about the place is they have excellent service and is very well managed. They have wide range of products available like fish oil, multi vitamins, BCAA or amino acids, protein powder( organic, vegan, etc). They have blending bottles available. They also have protein cookies, bars, protein drinks. Staff is polite, friendly and has great knowledge about the products. I checked their website for discounts and was matched with the online price while billing. Parking is very easy to find here. Checklist: 1. Quality - 2. Value for Money: 3. Parking: Easily available Verdict: Instead of buying my supplements online and waiting for it to get delivered, I go to the vitammine shoppe and check out with my needs in 5mins. They stocks are always full and they have great customer service. Highly recommended. read more

Ye Olde Vitamin Shoppe is my regular spot for buying the supplements a growing boy needs. I'm not gonna do the math, cuz I think it would scare the beetlejuice out of me, but I'm throwing a lot of cash at this place. My monthly gym membership is cheap, but when I add in the money I spend on my daily stack of supplements my cost of ownership is sky-high indeed. So what, this is me we're talking about and I'm worth every penny and then some. My current vita-meata-regimen includes: - C4 Pre-workout Formula - Green Tea Extract - Caffeine 200mg - CLA - Glucosamine, Condroitin, MSM chewables - Fucoxanthin with Pomegranate Seed Extract - Isopure Zero Carb Protein 40g - Creatine Monohydrate - Phosphatidylserine - Ginko Biloba - Vitamin B Complex - Vitamin D10 I get everything except the C4 here, at the Vitamin Shoppe. Q&A Are the prices competitive? I don't know. Do they have all the stuff I want and then some? Oh yeah. Is all this stuff helping me? Who knows, but I feel great. I have been out of Green Tea Extract this week and something feels a little off, so maybe that one matters at least. So back to ye olde shoppe tonight to reload. read more

The Vitamin Shoppe - Vitamins & Supplements Near Me - San Jose, California

Staff on 8/1/22 gave me above and beyond service. I had a ton of questions and salesman (black hair with glasses) answered all of my questions and even made recommendations that saved me - few bucks. I appreciate the extra efforts made to make my visit worth while. Thank you! read more

That's how customer service should be! This evening I find myself shopping at the Stevens Creek location and I was definitely pleased! I was greeted upon entering and assisted right away. The employee was not familiar with my requested product and immediately looked it up in the stores computer! They had it and I was out in a flash! The employee took the time to explain the savings card, plan and I remembered that I had one. He looked up my number and SCORE! In addition to my great service, the store was inviting and clean! Thanks for the great service. read more

The Vitamin Shoppe - Incorporating some good stuff into my diet! - Vitamins & Supplements Near Me - San Jose, California

The staff was nice and welcoming to all. I am so glad I found this place! Great selections and roomy. It was easy to social distance.

I have to say price wise, the Vitamin Shoppe beats GNC almost every time. They don't have silly "first week of every month" kind of sales, they just have regular comparable prices to online stores. If you're in a bind, Vitamin Shoppe is a great place for your supplements, protein, etc. I do find this location to be a little bit odd, it's a huge store but ... so empty inside. The sales associates almost never leave the central cash register area so ... you're not entirely sure if they're there to offer help or just to ring you up. I guess one great thing is that they have a ton of parking. The negative is that if you try to exit the parking lot during rush hour OR weekends ... good luck! read more

The best supplement store I've found since being in town a month. Super friendly manager! Genuinely nice and helpful, not fake. Much bigger store than the others with everything you need. read more

Corproate-Customer Service Someone hacked my account and the vitamin shoppe credited the first to charges in June. I asked to close my account. Well low and behold they did not..so I got 6 more charges. Now they want me to jump thru hoops cause they didn't do their part. I will never deal with just poor customer service. the local folks were nice, but Corporate Natasha was rude and unhelpful. She should be spoken too if she wants to keep her job! read more

Ordering on their web for store pickup, my order was changed to home delivery , but not by me! This happen before, so I made sure I had selected store pickup. I placed the order and noticed immediately the order was being shipped to my home. I call them a minute later to have the order changed. They said they could not cancel or change the order. A total lie. So they tied up $300 dollars on my order from two weeks ago and they have no idea when I'll get it. I spend a lot of money on supplements and they are have the worse customer service. They never credited my account for store perches and now ordering on line means they change the order delivery location to suite their preferences. That means they lock you in by charging you right a way for items they don't have in stock. read more

Very impressed with the customer service at this Vitamin Shoppe location. I came in looking for a specific brand of protein powder that I have purchased here before, only to discover that they no longer carry it anymore. I was slightly disappointed, however the store associate working offered all the samples that they had left-around 10 packets of the protein powder. I thought that was very thoughtful of the employee. In addition to the great service, the store is very clean and very spacious. It has anything that a serious gym goer or health nut like me would need. From protein powders, protein bars, BCAA's, preworkout, fish oil, probiotics, vitamins, and a wide assortment of essential oils, this store has it all! They also have a rewards program where you rack up points every time you shop and then they send you coupons in the mail if you hit a certain amount of points. Overall, this store gets 5 stars from me for its quality products and excellent customer service. read more

I came to the store at 9am but I've been waiting 19 minutes until somebody opened the store and when the person arrived he doesn't say sorry, I explained to him that I've been waiting 19 minutes and he told that "he was aware of that, thanks" I think that it wasn't an appropiate answer. I have a video of my screen smartphone showing the door closed and the time but I can't post it I can send it to the store manager read more

Are we Human or are we Dancer? What the hell does that mean, anyway? Sorry.... One thing that I do know is that the Vitamin Shoppe has a much better spread than GNC..[MUCH better]. Nice open showroom floor with a good selection of vitamins, dietary supplements, and workout enhancers. Employees are friendly and knowledgeable and the prices are reasonable. So if you are caught in a bind and either can't find the product you want at Good Life Nutrition or you don't have the time and patience to order online -- the Vitamin Shoppe is a solid choice. Back to my initial question; if I had to answer... I'm definitely, Dancer. read more

From the outside looking in, this place seems to have it all. the selection of supplement's and proteins is vast, the store is clean and the prices are reasonable. the staff, however, leaves a lot to be desired. Product knowledge is key when it comes to supplements, and if your knowledge is lacking, then either educate yourself or find another job. Being a personal trainer i know what supplements to take and how they effect the body, i was hoping the staff at the store new as well. in a word NOPE! Case in point. I was within earshot of a "salesman" as he was explaining to a young man, who was obviously eager to gain muscle, on what he should he take to gain size. within the span of five minuets he had loaded this kid up with no less than $300 dollars worth of non essential crap. "NO Explode" which is a stimulant and vasodilator ( makes your veins pop out ) and with this kids body mass, i would guess 135 dripping wet, the recommended dose would keep him up for a week. Add to that testosterone boosters, exotic and very expensive tinctures and the wrong type of protein, Casein ( used at night before bed time to help the body recover and rebuild, not for gaining mass) and you have the recipe for one very disappointed and possibly sick individual. I myself have asked questions about products only to have the employee read to me what it says on the side of the box. I know what the company says about it, you tell me how it works. you don't know? then how the hell did you get this job!! And one other thing. practice what you preach! having someone who is out of shape tell me what to take to burn fat and gain muscle is a lot like going to a dentist who has rotted teeth. read more

I am in utter shock at the way the employees treat their customers here. I went to buy many products. Not just one single thing. I take an avg. of 7 different vitamins a day as well as a protien powder. The man did NOT want to help me. When I asked a simple question like "when will you get these back in stock" he had no clue. When I asked what the number one womens weight loss product was he didn't know. When i asked how the body breaks down agave as opposed to regular cane sugar he had no clue. It's fine if you don't know but at least be polite and eager to assist in any way you can. I asked when the manager would be in and he said sometime today, that I should call in before I come to see who is working. WHOA! Okay then. Go somewhere else. Serious. Even thought his place has a large selection, just go somewhere else and save yourself the drama of dealing with pure idiots read more

I stopped in to pick up a few items after checking the website to make sure the items I wanted were sold by the Vitamin Shoppe. I should have called first, because what I sought was either out of stock or not carried at this store. They carry a large selection of vitaminny things (including a surprising variety of pet supplements), and it didn't feel as much like a gym extension as some similar places can (like some musclebound gym rat is going to pounce from between the stacks and start flailing at me with a jumbo canister of protein powder in one meathook and a shake weight in the other. Am I being overimaginative again?). Although I left empty handed, I'm handing out two stars because the staff was very helpful in searching for what I needed in-store, then offering to order it online for delivery to the store. The third star is for managing to get away with that 'Shoppe' spelling - not every store can pull that off, and I admire their cheek. I'm willing to give the Vitamin Shoppe another try - next time I'll call first to make sure they have my stuff in stock. read more

I have a mental block against GNC. Big buff men and mall shopfronts just are not my thing. But I don't have that same issue with Vitamin Shoppe. Maybe it's the big open storefront with lots of glass or the friendly staff or the mellow vibe. Who knows. But VS is where I go to get my vitamins, protein powder, protein bars, anything 'health' related that I can't or don't want to order online. The reason that I don't give them the big five is that their inventory is totally hit or miss. While the staff is super friendly and can pretty much point you to whatever you are looking for within seconds, and you are greeted the minute you come in the door....I only get to this place like once every few months so when I do go...I want what I am looking for. I also hate having to call. Today I went looking for Optimum Any Whey Protein Powder...flavorless so you can add it to almost anything. They said it was so popular they were totally out. Supposed to get 5 containers today but they didn't come. Okay. They did offer to order it for me and have it delivered there, but I seriously hate having to go pick things up out of schedule...so I said nope. Ordered it online at Amazon with 2 day free ship with Prime...it'll be here Wednesday. Done. However, VS does have a ton of selection, they just are quite often out of favorites. My top favorites...Oh Yeah! protein wafers & Glenny's 100 cal fiber brownies (these things are such a hit at my office!)...today they had a ton of BOTH so I did some stocking up big time. Great selection of vitamins, almost any protein powder or body building thang you can think of. I even found some random Muscle Milk chocolate pudding cup with a ton of protein that *supposedly* tastes good. Hmm. I can easily wander around this place for a good 45 minutes and come out with lots of goodies. Sign up for their frequent buyer card or whatever, and you get a rebate back at the end of the year. Who knows what I'll actually get back but it's a nice idea. Content to wander around not sure what you want? Check out VS for sure. But if you know what you want and are heading to get it, call first to make sure they have it...THEN head over. read more

This particular Vitamin Shoppe can be a real hit or miss. Sometimes I can go in with a bajillion questions and the worker can answer all of them AND on top of the answers suggest something that could be beneficial to me. THEN there are times when I can go in and there will be a worker who will not know squat about anything and then try to sell me something I already said I had, used or didn't like. I always check the prices online before I go into vitamin shoppe so I can compare with GNC who, for some reason, always has 20% off coupons flying into my inbox. Overall this place is good for more organic supplements and vitamins but I highly suggest doing your research before you come in. "A blender? I'm sorry, we don't carry blenders." "... A SHAKER!" "...like.. for blending?" priceless conversation I had with one of the Vitamin Shoppe workers.. read more

I usually buy vitamins and supplements online but when I'm caught empty handed with little patience to wait for shipping I come here. They have their own parking lot so parking is never a challenge. The store is super spacious so you're free to roam. Sales associates are knowledgeable and helpful. And if you don't need their assistance, they don't hover or bother you. They also have wide variety of products, brands, vitamins and etc. When I do come to this location, from time to time, there's a super helpful sales person here. Super tall guy. I don't remember his name. But he always greets me warmly, offers first hand recommendations and helps me reach tubs of protein out of my reach - I'm only five foot and some change. Always a pleasant experience here and I get everything I need. Another plus, I met one of my idols at this location: Ava Cowan. read more

I'm usually not a fan of chain supplement stores, but the VS on Stevens Creek isn't bad. Sales people here aren't pushy like other stores *GNC*. I thought this was a nice gesture but it was nice of the employee to admit that he didn't know and would ask another employee who did know, rather then give me false information and try to sell me a product. More selection then GNC, and definitley better pricing. They do have some good buys when there is a sale going on, but for the most part..online and Good Life is cheaper. The store itself is HUGE..in fact there is actually more free space then space that is actually used up. I think it's a little odd, but at least everything isn't cramped up. Not bad! read more

I walked in and both employees were SUPER friendly. I love a place that has great customer service. Answered all the questions I had regarding protein powders. Their selection is amazing!! Best of all, they have single serving protein powders. Why buy an entire jug and end up hating it?! love this place. read more

GOT YOUR VITAMINS? I DO! LOL! I love this place. Super friendly customer service, who really tries to help you find what you want and never pushed you to buy anything that you don't need or want. The place is always clean and mostly stocked. Parking lot always have plenty of parking. The minus one star is on knowledge. Sadly, sometimes when I ask them questions...they just don't know, but they definitely take their time out to look it up and help you with the best of their abilities. Some employees know more than others. They know the basic knowledge, but not too in depth. Vitamins, herbs, etc...it may have the same name, but different products work well for different body types and the dosage recommendations are really important. Many customers don't know this and they should really be cautious when recommending these things. Would really recommend this place. read more

I love this place. Prices are barely above online prices and you get good advice from the people who work there. A couple of them are pretty funny to talk to as well. Supplements and vitamins are very important to promote and accelerate healthy growth especially if you're not the most disciplined person and there are a lot to choose from! It's good to know that you can walk out with a fair bit of confidence that you're going home with some crap you wasted money on. Thanks dudes! read more

This place is amazing! Customer service was excellent from start to finish.You were greeted by name as you walked in. I've been a loyal customer to this location for over 5 yrs. All the staff is always so friendly , super patient and knowledgeable. .always love the service they provide and its always fast and friendly , Thanks again guys! read more

Great prices for whey protein but a little to far for me. Id rather pay an extra 5 bucks to go near my gym that sells the same item, but it is a lot closer. but i did buy some glut amine there for only 15 bucks i think now that's pretty cheap. Also i bought a can of Jasmin tea for 12 dollars major tea person. read more

Clean, huge selection and the staff is super attentive and helpful. Not every Vitamin shoppe carries the same products but this one has it all. You can find some really good hair products here that you wouldn't find anywhere else. All ogranic and helps with hair growth!! read more

quick tip: If you see the item cheaper on their site than in the store, they'll price match it. Sign up for the club card, at the end of the year if you spend enough they'll give you store credit. cheap place for supplements, way better than overpriced GNC. Its the same cheap prices online, without having to pay for shipping and waiting a week. employee's are real helpful and know what their talking about. read more

NOT PUSHY VERY HELPFUL STAFF CLEAN LARGE SELECTION REASONABLY PRICED Need to know anything else? OH---Great hours!!!! Thanks Vitamin Shoppe! read more

In a pinch the prices here are can't be beat. I mean yeah GNC has the "Gold Card" which you have to pay for, and if you really look you save more AFTER the Gold Card week than you do during it... Trust me, I used to have a friend that worked at a GNC... I do have a Vitamin Shoppe card here and if you spend over X amount of dollars they send you a nice gift certificate that you can use at the store or online. Total score... I do like the fact that they will honor the online price no matter what. All you have to do is bring in a print out of the price or have it on your iPhone and ready for them and that's it. GNC is a pain in the A$$ for trying to get this done... When I need something in a pinch I totally make my way over here and get bars, protein, RTD's or whatever I need... read more

Love this store. The customer service is awesome. She helped us find the vitamins that we were looking for. They are very knowledgeable about their products too! read more

Friendly, informative staff. The only store of its kind in the San Jose area that carries empty gelatin/vegetable caps. read more

I give you two for being the only one in the area. Otherwise, your lack of service, knowledge and willingness to help customers with their lifestyle lacks a lot. Manager is not helpful either. The lack of ownership to make the customers experience a priority is just stupid here. For example -- if you know you have a repavement going on in your lot, make sure you prepare to direct customers. Not ridicule them or shift the blame on the vendor that your company hired. I think I've had enough of these clowns. Come here if N emergency or if necessary to get the BoGo deals. Otherwise skip and support your local shops elsewhere. Pfff read more

I like the Vitamin Shoppe. Better than overpriced GNC. Much better selection. Although I wish they carried Vitargo S2 like GNC (hint hint owner if you read this, start carrying it because I am buying it from GNC). Staff is generally more informative and fit. I don't believe in discrimination as an employment practice but at a Health Food store this is important to me. When I buy supplements I hate being at the check out counter while some fat ass gives me advice about the best product to take. I'm like "Oh Word? So this is working out for you, huh? If I follow your advice, I can have that nice round belly like you, huh? Yeah, the ladies will really love that. Interesting.". Luckily, that hasn't happened in my experiences with the Vitamin Shoppe. Best retail prices outside of the Internet, most selection, and helpful staff. read more

This is my go to place to pick up supplements, its cheaper than GNC and the people most of the people working here know their stuff. The place is never busy and its always stocked with what I need. read more

I was in the neighborhood & decided to give this place another try. I'm glad I did. I had a much better experience. Upon entering, I was greeted by a sales person and asked if I was looking for something that he could help me with. I accepted the help. He found what I was looking for very quickly. I walked around the store a little more & another sales person asked if I needed help. Wow! This time, I was impressed! read more
