TFN Nutrition Center

Not sure who owns the place anymore, but the first and last time I was in the store I had a bad experience. The person working behind the counter immediately started diagnosing me with all sorts of ailments and tried selling me supplements. I told her, I came in for a smoothie, thanks anyway. She would not stop telling me that I needed this supplement because I looked like I had fibroid tumors… Really lady??? I do not recommend this place at all!

Best little supplement shop in Austin! Great smoothies, too!
I’ve been shopping at TFN for several years. Yvonne, the owner, is a walking encyclopedia of natural supplements — and carries top quality brands in the store. Just looking at her, it’s clear she’s an expert in Total Fitness and Nutrition (TFN). We’ve taken care of several ailments in our family by consulting Yvonne, rather than a doctor visit.
If I’m not mistaken, TFN offers a discount to anyone with a Hometown Hero card.
I am shocked at the negative reviews. But then, one of those reviewers claims to have bought a beach chair at the nutrition shop. I have never seen beach chairs in the store in years of shopping there.

Owner, Yvonne, has great knowledge of nutrition and supplements, with their recommendations for dosage depending on your issue and age.
As a well versed health professional, I value her opinion, and will come back often for recommendations, supplements, other essentials needed for my entire family!

I had a very poor experience with TFN nutrition I bought a beach chair from them through Amazon that was rated at 300lb capacity– I weigh about 235, When i first began to use it, it collapsed. When I asked them for a return, they told me it was ‘out of warranty’. They also told me that they ‘hadn’t had any complaints’ about the chair, when most of the reviews on Amazon were very low rated. if you want to trust them, that’s your business, but i will never buy another thing from them again.
By the way, I have this all documented in email exchanges.

I’m big on health and TFN Nutrition Center has become a regular place I go to for everything healthy. They are so knowledgeable there that they can help you with a lot of health challenges and yes the smoothies are great. They are also a Hometown Hero business so if you have a Hometown Hero card you can get a 20% discount. You can get the card at
.

I have been visiting TFN since before they moved to this location. Probably about 5.5 or 6 years ago. They are always very helpful and have always given me exactly what I came for and not upsold me once. I happened to be at the mall and looked at the chain store there but didnt buy since the person was trying to talk me into something I did not want. I will continue to take the extra time to drive the extra 10 min to visit TFN to get great service and only get what I need.

I have only been into TFN a couple of times. If you are ever driving S on Research Blvd up near the HEB on Lake Creek you will see their TFN white van sitting in the parking lot. Good marketing stratgey.
I have only purchased the smoothies there. I am not really interested in a lot of the other supplements they also sell. I must say, the smoothies are really good. The first time I was in there a year or so back, the service was not very friendly. I always try to «chat it up» with people especially in small local businesses and I can’t even remember what happened but just remember feeling a little put off. I went in recently and it was totally a different story. The lady working the smoothie bar and cash register was very friendly and helpful.
You can’t judge a place by one «bad» visit. This is why I am posting this and giving a good review… too many people on Unilocal get upset by one bad instance and never return. I think everyone gets a second chance. Everyone has bad days…
I will be going back for more smoothies from TFN!
