Designer Body & Nutrition

Brian and Duke are the best!! They really know the products and provide the best customer service! I would highly recommend Designer Body for your health supplements!

Designer Body and Nutrition is a small and unrated local shop that provides very good quality protein powder, pre-workout, and other supplements. Owner and operator Matai Lorenze opened his first shop in 1996. Working out at The Gym Honolulu and selling his products out of his trunk. His physique, the products he had, and the eagered people who wanted to be in shape provided the success of his business. It was an honor to be helped by Alex. His friendly attitude and knowledge of the products made me have the confidence that Alex is leading me to my fitness goal. What I am amazed by Designer Body's products is the ingredients. Simple and unique ingredients like: digestive enzymes, berry extract, and grass fed proteins. It's like getting these from a grocery store, but with the key essentials extracted. Great find, great products, and great people!ParkingPrivate lot or streetPaymentCash or credit

Always been the best nutrition shop hands down on island! Locally owned and ran for years! Shouts out to Designer Body! Mahalo for everything always!

Designer Body is now my #1 stop for all my workout needs!! Here's the the thing I haven't even gotten to step foot in the store because of my schedule and distance I live, but they offer over the phone orders- they even do a FaceTime walk through with you if need be.They pack up your phone order and ship it that day!! Awesome above and beyond customer service! Thank you Brian and Duke for always having exactly what I need and the knowledge of your products.

If you like working out, once in a while we need a little somethin', somethin' to help us recover from a hard workout. This is where Designer Body & Nutrition comes into play. Yes, there are other health nutrition shops around town like - GNC, The Vitamin Shoppe, Nutrishop, Max Muscle Sports Nutrition, Muscle Inc., & Hardcore 808............but my all time favorite health nutrition shop has always been Designer Body. I guess I kinda favor this nutrition store, because the owner - Maitai Lorenzo, is a fellow gym bruddah from the original - "The Gym", as well as Gold's Gym. As I walked in today, I was hoping to see my old friend, and fellow gym bruddah, but unfortunately he was not in. No matter because his wonderful staff - Brian & Duke were working there today, and Brian was able to help me. I asked some questions about a product, as I was looking for some L-Arginine in pill form. Brian was very helpful in answering my questions & addressing my needs, he also provided some additional information of other health supplements to me which was very helpful.The nice thing about the Designer Body Nutrition shop is that they carry some very unique brand supplement items which I don't see at other nutrition shops. They also sell some pretty cool t-shirts too! (see pic!)The local staff at Designer Body is very knowledgeable, & friendly...............easy to talk to, and very helpful. The shop is located in the Kakaako area, just a few yards down from the Cooke Street Diner area. There is free parking in the small private parking lot (which is shared by a few businesses), but finding parking was not an issue today. Let's face it gang............ you can't stay young forever, and you can never outrun father time..........but what you can do for yourself is eat a little better, get in a little exercise on a regular basis, and try to age gracefully!

TRIED AND TRUEDesigner Body has been around for quite some time now, which is a great sign. I trust them and definitely recommend them to n00bz AND pros alike. Like I mentioned in my previous review, Designer Body is a reputable resource for health- and fitness-conscious supplements and nutrition. GNC, Vitamin Shoppe, etc. ain't got nothin' on these guys. Plus, they're locally owned and managed. They look like they know what they're talking about, too, because everyone who works there seems pretty fit. That's a good sign to me.CUSTOMER SERVICEThere's no need to be "shame" about sharing your personal health and fitness goals because they want you to get where you want/need to be. And they can give you some options. IMO, Designer Body has the whole customer service thing down, and they're genuine. And no matter how long it is between visits, Brian always remembers me. He even gets my order ready when he sees me pull in or walk in, so everything is ready to go when I get to the counter. Talk about service!Also, if you want to be featured on the Designer Body instagram, let them know and take a picture or selfie with them!LOCATION & PARKINGDesigner Body has moved out of its former Imperial Plaza location. (Sorry so late on my update.) You'll find these guys on Cooke Street in Kaka'ako. Free parking in their lot.Look for them across that mini complex that has Karen's Kitchen, the next block "makai" of Cooke Street Diner. If you pass Halekauwila, you've just missed it.FIT4YOUHIThis place is also one of the designated FREE pickup locations for the Fit4youHI meals. I believe Designer Body sometimes has extras for available to purchase if you miss the weekly Saturday ordering deadline.VERDICTIf I could get off my fat ass consistently, I would definitely see some friggin' results with the help of Designer Body's recommendations. For sure.Highly recommended.

Honest review. This review has been long overdue. I have been coming to Designer Body for a few years now, on and off but I receive the same generosity and great customer service each visit. Today, I went in after a year long break (since before COVID) and was greeted by Brian and Duke. They always manage to remember me despite seeing so many people through the days. Both are very friendly, polite, and will treat you with the same amount of respect whether you're big or small. They are both very experienced in the nutrition industry and can answer any questions you have and lead you in the right direction to reach your goals. I know from experience that they're not there to make money off you by selling things you don't need. PARKINGFree parking right in front of the store. Never had a problem finding parking there.SHOPThe shop has everything you need to get started, maintain, or exceed your goals. It ranges from beginner to pro, perfect for everyone! They have a variety of options in each and every category, pre-workout, creatine, bcaa, post-workout, protein, clothes, equipment, you name it! They also have their own line of supplements called DB Force that works from my experience. So far I've only found INTEK supplement products here, no where else. Tip: it is actually cheaper to buy from designer body than it is to purchase this brand of supplement on the INTEK website. Crazy! BOTTOM LINEIf you're a beginner (like me) or pro, this shop has everything you need, with great local customer service, and reasonable pricing. If you feel like you don't have time to research or watch YouTube videos on reviews, just go to designer body. I walked in, asked a few questions, got advice and suggestions, picked out what I wanted, paid, and within 10 minutes I was ready to restart my fitness journey.

At first, I was a bit intimidated to come here because I am not in shape and far from having a "designer" looking body lol! Also, I expected to see these big, muscle, meat heads floating around the store like clouds. But, I was desperate and needed something to help fuel my run for my PTT test because I found myself "dying" out towards the end of my race. So, I called and the guy that answered the phone was super nice and made me feel comfortable about coming into the store.Anyway, I went to the store, and the guys that work there are handsome... and of course extremely helpful and knowledgeable about their products. Yes, they have nice really bodies, but I didn't feel intimidated because they were super duper nice. Also, I didn't feel pressured to buy anything at all. However, I ended up buying this Carbo-lyn pre workout drink because I was desperate. The next morning, I passed my PTT test and was so excited I came back for some weight loss products. Right now I am currently on their new thermogenic New Jacked City.......I don't feel jitters at all and I don't crash at the end of the day. I haven't lost any weight yet (it's only been 4 days) but will definitely update my review when I do....with photos ;)

Knowledgeable on every single product on the shelves. Been a customer for 15 years and will shop no where else!

I've been going to designer BODY for over 15years I lost 155pounds and COUNTING Mai Tai and the designer BODY staff had helped me get my life back on track big MAHALOZ Mai Tai yeah buddy
