What products for a "Pro-shop" in a gym?
I don't necessarily need a product by product, but what are some of the main categories you'd go with?
Protein- both whey and casein? Creatine (a must) pill form and a decent Cell mass type product? Multi vitamin Essential fats BCAAs Fat loss agents- what types would you go with? a few different general vitamins for general health? few prohormones ZMA protein bars protein cookies MRP's Cold box with various protein/carb drinks digestive enzymes I just did this off the top of my head- open to some good suggestions. -Are there specific Brands you'd go with or vary specific products you think would do best (ie musclemilk etc)?

I like Primaforce carb slam for waxy and the creatine mono. Get perhaps a stim like alri venom stuff wrks good. green tea caps , sesamin. Multi vitamin packs and most important a good price. For proteins get some ON Pro Complex , ON egg protein those big 10 lb bags , isopure , nectar from syntrax for people who like flavorerd stuff etc.

buddy of mine started this company, it's pretty legit. Pricey though. How about equipment? Some wraps, straps, belts, chalk, etc?

No chalk in this kind of gym- sorry.
Belts, gloves (not for me haha) etc will probably be in there too. Definitely need some green tea and a stim or two. Cool I'll look into all the products you guys posted. keep the suggestions coming guys.

Fat loss/stimulant drinks. They sell like wildfire in no chalk gyms. Anything in premade protein drink form.
People are always looking for the easy way at gyms where dumbells do not exceed 80lbs and there are more treadmills than 45lb plates. |

That was kind of my thought. People like those on the boards are the ones who buy flavorless protein and mix all of our own shit.... The others, want the mainstream items and anything that's easy, low fat, and tastes good.

Exactly....people at those kind of gyms (the majority) do not want what is best for there bodys(alot of the good stuff taste bad) they want the illusion of healthy in grab and go bottle. If you want to sell put that kind of product in. But I would offer some of the products that educated lifters like also. |

Because they are the best. People will drink that , do cardio for 45 minutes easily and then realize how good they work and buy more.

Absolutely- I want the essentials in there, 1) because I want to use them haha and 2) because I want to have 'good' supplements that truly work to be in there so I can at least attempt to educate and sway people into using these things. But you can't fight the market too much- if it wants brand X, then they'll probably get it.

got ya. I don't use any stims so I'm not really on top of the energy drinks. We've already got one called Xs (excess) in there that people seem to like, but Big name brands are a must.

For fat loss agents - I love the ALRI Tri-Lean stack, it has worked wonders for me. And the ALRI X Thyroid Hormome Supp. All together they are a killer stack.
I would add something like Xpel for water retention as well.
