As a professional athlete I grateful that Matt and the crew at Nutrishop have been there to advise me through what has turned into a “Supplement Maze” and to get me what I needed to perform even better. Not only do they provide me with the best products and advice, but are also readily available to provide any product needed for the everyday person looking to just feel and look better.
Along the way I’ve had a lot of injuries, dislocated shoulders, concussions, broken ankles, torn ACL, MCL and meniscus in my knee, the list goes on… being no stranger to having to perform at the top of my game everyday I’m on the water. Being physically strong and fit enough to be able to handle a hard landing or a nasty spill, becomes a necessity.
Thanks to Nutrishop Folsom I’m able to get the supplements necessary for me to fuel, perform and recover from the grueling workouts I endure. I’m currently taking Vitasport's FUZION K-AKG3 & Vitasport's BCAA GT-AKG which gives me all the energy, stamina and strength I need in the gym. After the gym I take a shake of Nu-tek’s PRO 5 whey protein to help my worn muscles to recover and repair as fast as possible.

Testimonial from BlakeWhen I turned 14, I started working out with weights to gain strength for my BMX racing. One day while I was working out, I began to talk with this older guy about how to get stronger, gain more weight and at the same time use proper technique and form while lifting weights. He led me right to Nutrishop in Folsom, CA and I have never looked back. The 1st day my Dad took me into Nutrishop, we started talking to the owner Matt. He went over some of the supplements that would help me achieve my goals and at the same time, be safe for somebody my age. My dad was very cautious as to what I put into my body. I remember we walked out of the store that day and my dad looked at me and said “in all of the places that I have gone in my life to get information on working out and what supplements to take or not take, Matt knows what he is talking about.” Since that day, 5 months ago, I have gained over 20 lbs and have probably increased my strength by 40%. My whole family shops there now on a monthly basis for vitamins and other supplements. My step-mom was also very impressed after meeting Matt and his wife in the store. She couldn’t believe the information that was given to her and how it pertained to a woman’s body. The products our family has received from Nutrishop—along with Matt’s knowledge and guidance—are helping me to achieve my goals. Nutrishop has been a HUGE part of my continued success.
