I only know of this place thanks to Reya. I got a text from her when I was at work, telling me about a weight loss challenge. The weigh-in was held at Orangetheory Fitness in Los Gatos. I came and was pleasantly surprised by my BF% despite my weight at the time. I’ve always worked out but I was never aligned nutritionally. More importantly, like most, I thought that I need to eat few calories in order to lose weight BUT that mindset has changed. I came in at 120lbs, 17% BF. I also opted for the meal plan(free) and I was so shocked when I saw it because it was a ton of food but more and more, I can see that I need to more in order to grow. I needed to feed my muscles. I don’t follow the IIFYM mentality because certain foods make me feel sluggish even if I’m not hitting my macros so quite honestly, I canceled my $ 10 a month subscription to MyFitnessPal and started to eat clean and intuitively. I told Ben that I cannot eat according to the meal plan to the T because I don’t have the financial capability. Fast-forward 3 weeks(plus I got on a no sugar for 30 day challenge), I weighed in 2 weeks ago at 115lbs at 14% BF. I am doing my final and last weigh-in this Wednesday which will conclude my completion of this weight loss challenge and no sugar for 30 day challenge. I’m quite happy w/my progress. The store itself is spacious and everything is organized. Staff are all knowledgeable and I can’t tell you how heartbroken I felt when I was told that protein cookies are junk… this store sells products that they believe in. They just don’t carry every single product the fitness industry has to offer. BTW, they don’t sell protein cookies but Ben heard Reya and I talking and gave his 2 cents… =/

This is a very nice store, clean displays and customer service was great, I was given samples of the different flavors of protein before I made my decision, which was awesome.

4 stars because I’m not a super crazy nutrition person. BUT I have to shout out to Kraig! He helps me out the few times I have come in and always explains every last detail of whatever I think I need and tells me what I don’t! I like the strong pre-workouts but will not shy away from anything new Kraig throws my way. I’m an Orangetheory obsessed worker-outer, but that’s it. So the few times I have been in contact with the guys, I love em! Good thing I didn’t go to the last place I bought my stuff today, I would have been lost if I didn’t see Kraig! I’ll be in this weekend/next week to replenish my Thermovex!

I first came by this store when it was a Nutrishop back in September 2015. My gym I train at is just down the street, so one day when I was in need of some basic supplements, I found this little shop on Unilocal!When I first started my fitness journey last year, I did not know much of anything when it came to supplements. I knew I should have a good quality protein, but that was pretty much it. Lol. My gf who is a fitness instructor and CPT, INSISTED I need a glutamine for muscle recovery. I was sore 24⁄7 and pretty miserable, even unable to sleep at night because my legs would twitch and ache. It was pretty awful to say the least. So off I went to this shop to find me some glutamine! It was a bit daunting since I didn’t know a damn thing about supplements. And I even asked for glucosamine instead of glutamine, since I couldn’t remember what it was called. Thankfully the guy I met, Kraig, was the sweetest guy ever and nicely explained to me what I needed and why. After asking me a few different questions, he was able to recommend what I would benefit from based on my fitness goals and current workout régime. I went home with a fat burner, a glutamine and a BCAA. These are basic staples for anyone who works out! I know this now, but did not before I walked into that store. Fast forward 6 – 7 months. I workout like a BEAST. Ask anyone at my gym. Haha! I actually hit a plateau at about 7 months after embarking on my fitness journey. I was not losing anymore weight, I was unable to drop my body fat(I went from 35% to 24%) and I was beyond discouraged. I decided to come visit the shop to re-up my supplements. The shop had been re-branded to MM Nutrition and was no longer a Nutrishop. I picked up some new products and noticed they had a challenge starting in a few days. With participation in the challenge, there was a meal plan offered, FREE! I was super curious about it and Ben showed me in depth why the meal plan was superior to all the others I have tried over the years. I was convinced I needed this meal plan. The challenge was to start in a few days so I agreed to come back for the weigh-in. I came back for the weigh in. I was quite happy with the results of the new products I had picked up. Ben had listened to me patiently while I jabbered on and on about my fitness goals and aspirations. He had sent me home with two new products that I added to my other basic supplements. I saw a noticeable difference immediately. I received my meal plan the next day. To keep it short, I was horrified at the amount of calories he had put me on. But after hearing WHY, it all started to make sense. I was not losing any weight because my body was in starvation mode. Nor was I eating very many carbs, which my body needed. My BMR was way higher than the amount of calories I was eating daily. This new meal plan changed EVERYTHING for me!!! So far my body has been responding quite well to the changes I made. It has been 9 days so we will see how the rest of the month goes! I popped by again to visit the shop after another workout and found myself comfortably at home. Here I could talk about everything I loved, fitness, supplements, why I wasn’t seeing results, what I could try differently… I learned so much from my visits here! If ever you are in the area and need some supplements, definitely come check them out!

The staff here is fantastic, David was my first impression and he’s probably the main reason I first came back, I drive from Scotts Valley just to purchase from this location. They are super knowledgeable and they don’t push or suggest things that I don’t need just to make a sale. Keep up the good work!

Nutrition shop right across street from my workplace! The customer service here is always great. They help you with the right supplements for your needs and make sure you will come back for more. I rather go here than GNC since their customer service is the top of the line. They have all that I need for my pre-workouts and protein supplements. The store is very clean and organize which makes it easier to locate what you need.

So much closer to me than the Bernal store. Went over there yesterday(Friday) and checked on Unilocal before I left just to make sure of the hours for the store. Unilocal says Friday’s they are open til 6. I got there at 5:30 and the open sign was turned off. Wasted trip. I’ll just go to the Bernal store.

Came in the other day looking for a certain pre workout. Kraig was very helpful and shared his thoughts on what would work the best. Anyone who’s looking for top of the line supplements should definitely stop by.

Went to another location a few days ago and came to one closer to home to get the rest of the items I had got a sample of at the other spot. Seriously, with a place like Nutrishop I don’t know how GNC is in business around here. Top of the line customer service. Greeted when walked in and asked all the important questions. Goals, nutrition, workout routine, etc. I thought I was going in for 1 item and walked out with a few. I am happy with my purchase and happy to have found Nutrishop. Thanks David for your help and knowledge. See you again when my supply is out.

Went in yesterday at the recommendation of a friend who told me Thermovex was a great pre-workout supplement. David was very knowledgeable and took the time discuss the product as well as providing me samples and instructions how to optimize their use, which was really helpful to someone like myself who is fairly new to nutritional supplements. My workout today felt great and im definitely going to go back again!

I just had one of the best experiences here at Nutrishop Los Gatos! David helped me and he is just full of knowledge and is able to answer any question that anyone had! He not only answered my questions but when I was browsing, I overheard a conversation that he was having with another customer and he was able to give really good advice to them as well. I will definitely be going back and trying to buy more products to make myself better! I definitely recommend this place to everyone and anyone that wants to start that new years resolution or even just trying to make themselves better!!! Thank you so so much!!!

Just stopped into the shop today with my fiancé and had a great experience talking about our fitness goals with David. He asked questions about what our goals are and got an understanding of where we’re at today. Then he gave us a breakdown of what we can get to achieve the goals we have. Nothing less. He was very knowledgeable about nutrition and spent some focused time with us(about 30 min) to just talk and recommend options. The time was unrushed and he gave us a lot of great guidance on exercise and nutrition. We even got to try some samples of the supplements we were interested in. When we left, we were really quipped with how to get after our goals and had some much needed knowledge about how to do it right! David, you have two new customers for life. Thanks for all you do. For those considering stopping in, just do it… this shop knows nutrition and can help.

The customer service at this location is impeccable. David was really knowledgeable on which supplements would be good for me and was genuinely interested in helping me reach my potential. It’s refreshing to see a shop where the people running it want to sell you the product that’s right for you and not to just make a sale.

I had a great experience. David talked me through the steps I need to take to reach my goals and helped point me in the right direction. More importantly, he didn’t try to force any products on me that I didn’t need. In the end I came home with quality products that taste good. Would definitely recommend.

Dropped by today to get some supplements and as soon i as I walked in BAM! best customer service i have seen. David was very knowledgable in how to take the supplements they offer. Some of the other«sources» i had from another location gave me something to substitute a supplement i was taking only to know right there and then it was 2 different things. David makes sure that you succeed in whatever your goals are and guides in your new healthy lifestyle. he doesnt try to sell you on products that wouldnt benefit you at all. I WILL mos def come back again to do business with them. Love all products they offer.

Went in not sure what I needed, but the manager David was very knowledgeable, helpful, and answered all of my questions helping me find the right supplement for my lifestyle. He made me feel like he is my personal trainer, being available through email for any questions, and he explained how I should utilize my supplements as well as what to eat. Thanks David!

Kraig is awesome! The shop is always clean, and well organized. They really help you with whatever you need and are looking for while making it a lot more personal and giving you the education you need behind it then the big corporate places like for example GNC. They are there to see you succeed & I can completely appreciate that! Kraig also took the time to contact me a couple days latter to see how I liked the supplements I bought, I’ve been to max muscle, GNC and other places and I’ve never received such great customer service! Thanks again guys!

David was promo’ing some stuff at the Right Stuff Blossom Hill and showed me a chocolate protein that was half whey half slow release(time release) protein(«casein» was it?) that metabolizes over time to continue to feed your muscle growth beyond the initial window directly after the workout. No pressure, knowledgeable about multiple supplementation practices and friendly. Much appreciated David!
