Did you join 24 Hour Fitness (or one of its subsidiaries)? If so, they're going to try cramming Apex products down your throat. There are also some independent chains that support Apex. Same deal most likely.
1. Tell them to get lost. There are better brands.
2. Never pay retail. Retail sucks.
That said, they've got some trainers that should be beneficial to you if you decide you want to go that route. Just don't expect good supplement advice, and be careful of what you're signing.
