Bayport GNC is Much More Than a Gym Rat's Supplement Source

Retailer offers products geared on good body health.

One of the newest stores in Bayport is not just a gym lover’s work-out supplement store.

GNC, in the 7-Eleven shopping center on Montauk Highway, offers all that but much more, says manager Christine Joel.

“We’ve got vitamins and supplements for everything from bone density to estrogen boosting. What we offer are products that can help someone take better care of themselves as well as boost sports nutrition needs,” she told Patch during a recent interview.

The rows and shelves of items can be daunting to a newbie unfamiliar with all that there is to help a body revitalize, repair and grow strong. That’s why the store offers expert help on hand so that customers feel comfortable discussing health issues and potential remedies.

“Getting healthier and feeling better shouldn’t be looked at as a hobby. It should become part of your every day life. You should be paying attention to what you put into your body and what’s going on with your body,” said Joel, adding that good health is 80 percent diet and 20 percent workout.
