Whoever was in store that day, was a legend! Gave very helpful information, good supplement recommendations. Slept great and enjoyed the training session with the new pre workout. Show reply
I only have basic knowledge about supplements and I had so much help from the manager on brand, flavour and price range. Definitely a lot friendlier and welcoming than every other supplement store I’ve been to and decided not to spend my money there so I’m glad I chose elite supplements as my place. The place and floors are very clean I definitely will be returning. :) Show reply
My son has started lifting weight to gain some mass and muscle tone.Staff was very helpful and gave me some good advice and suggestions for him.He started using Emerald labs Lean Gainer and loves it as it is easy on the gut and has no fillers. It also has 3G of creatine so it’s a complete package for him. Show reply

First time visiting Mirrabooka. Danny was super helpful, not just for me, but to everyone else who was in the shop at the same time. Having a sample of the protein water was also helpful to make me feel confident in my purchasing Show reply

I honestly felt good about going into the store at Elite Supps Kippa-Ring and the staff was super helpful with so much information and helped me answer to all I needed to know! I really appreciated that. Thank you once again!! Show reply
Protein arrived open & damaged. I asked for assistance from Elite Supps and received a reply stating they cannot assist as I didn’t take up extra insurance. I replied & said this cannot be used though and needs to be disposed of, how can they accept money for a product that isn’t usable? I was advised they COULD have helped me but now it’s been… Read more
disposed of they can’t. I then replied & stated it hasn’t been disposed of yet so please advise my next steps? Another reply stating they stand by that they can’t help me as it’s damage due to transit/courier. So a $70 purchase not usable on receipt and no customer service at all to help their customer.
So beware- if you don’t add EXTRA insurance they won’t take responsibility for anything or provide any type of service to their customers. I will never order from here again.
Elite Supps supplied the wrong product and then refused to properly engage with the issue. I ordered a product where the listing showed one flavour in the product image, Bronze Bombshell, while the text referred to Rainbow Warrior. I provided screenshots and the order confirmation showing the issue. Elite Supps repeatedly claimed I had selected… Read more
the wrong flavour, suggested I had failed to check the cart closely, and relied on the current webpage displaying correctly as though that proved the listing was correct at the time I ordered.
They ignored the substance of my complaint: that the product listing as a whole was misleading. They refused to provide a refund, replacement, or exchange, then closed the matter and refused further correspondence.
Very poor handling of a simple consumer issue. Reported to FairWork and ACCC.

Received Emerald Labs Ashwagandha Gummies in unusable condition — melted, clumped, covered in white residue, and not fit for consumption. I contacted Elite Supps with photos and a clear refund request, but was given a generic excuse and no remedy. Products should arrive in acceptable condition, and this one didn’t. Disappointing experience.
Ordered a sauce from Elite Supps that arrived leaking due to a broken seal. The parcel itself wasn’t damaged and sauce had leaked inside the bag. Customer support refused a refund or replacement because I didn’t select their optional shipping protection at checkout. Disappointing experience over a $12 item.
I purchased Oxyshred during their Boxing Day sale and used a discount code. My cart showed a total about $10 less than what I was actually charged. When I contacted Elite Supplements, the first response admitted the discount should have applied correctly, but later emails contradicted this and falsely claimed my screenshot was from the day before… Read more
my order. They refused a refund and offered only store credit.
This felt like gaslighting and was extremely frustrating. Losing a customer over $9 seems absurd. Be cautious relying on discounts or checkout totals with this retailer.

Positive reviews
The duo from Blacktown NSW that helped me out with pre workout advice on Saturday was outstanding. The gentleman saved me from using a Temu MuscleN brand and suggested their ultra caffeinated pre workout. They both had a lot of knowledge about the products and paid attention to what I needed. I'm an elite member for that reason and many more. Emerald labs protein powder helped me lose 20kgs in 7 months. Thanks guys :) Show reply
Best customer service, very polite and well spoken, easy to communicate with and because I'm a xofit Yanchep member I got disconnected on all my pre workout powders, protein shakes etc... everything you need right here in one stop shop... Highly recommended if you trying to get fit. Show reply
Bree was fantastic! She was incredibly knowledgeable about the products and, when what I originally went in for was no longer available, she was honest and helpful enough to recommend another brand that suited my needs. Great customer service and a really positive experience! Show reply

This review is broken up into a number of sections that will provide the user (you) to use your preferred browser's "Find on page" function to skip to the area of interest. [Summary] [Product/Service] [Package] [Pros(+) vs Cons(-)] [Final Thoughts] [Summary] I've been shopping at this establishment for years, and so perhaps my consumer… Read more
experience and review might be considered bias though I will attempt to remain subjective as much as possible.
I recently made a purchase and acquired some Creatine Monohydrate, and based on the direct questions I made to the sales person... "Is this a gimmick based on the claims?". And as a result, I decided to give it a go and make a purchase on the presumption upon perhaps a placebo noting that the product sold had higher absorption compared to other brands. The price difference was subject and decided to give it a try.
[Product/Service] These stores are franchises, and there are many of them around the country, each of them more or less the same and generally competitively priced while stocking specialised products that normally don't appear in supermarkets or chemists.
[Package] Though their specialty is supplementation and they also have a small product range in store and online for transparent, hot and cold shakers, thermal flask-type bottles that will meet any demands gym goers or those wanting something a little more versatile.
The downside is that they only specialise in these types of products, it would be interesting to see if they can also expand into other niche markets, a kind of one-stop shop, e.g. gym meals, personal coaching, gym equipment, loyalty programs both online and instore. Other things like price guarantees, if a customer sees a product in another non-elite supplements store and can beat the price upon an evidence-based approach...
For those wanting a specialised user experience, would enjoy the multitude of benefits if all of their needs can be served in one packaged or tailored service.
[Pros(+) vs Cons(-)]
Pros(+) - competitive pricing against the competition - quality products - customer service and knowledge on the products - pricing (subjective)
Cons(-) - limited range of supplementation products - limited range on the types of products that needs expansion into other markets as above mentioned. - pricing (subjective)
[Final Thoughts] At the end of the day, it is a business that provides gym and sports-related products where other than customer service, the knowledge behind each product gives you as the consumer, a level of confidence that should be expected. Though I would rate this higher, if they would expand their business modelling to include some of the other suggestions in this review.
Hi Milord Thank you for taking the time to… Read more
Displays price online with no note to say price is online only and then you go instore to purchase (so you can see quality). Firstly they dont display pricing in store and secondly, it is more expensive in store than online by a whole $5 each!! Its not much dollarwise but the principle of it still stands. I was sent a 15% sign up discount via… Read more
email, which couldn't be used in store. Staff did apply a discount anyway but still more expensive than the price advertised online. You can click and collect at online price and collect in 2-3hrs if in stock at the online price. Wrote an email and the response is "Our pricing may differ between our online store and physical Elite Supplements stores due to stock availability, promotional activities, and shipping considerations" This was not a sale item, on promotion or shipped! No reasonable excuse, just deceitful.

Absolutely poor customer service. I made a big purchase for some protein powder which was meant to come with a free 'lucky dip' gift. When I received the box there was nothing else in there other than my order. While its not a big deal, it is both disappointing and misleading to offer a free gift when you make a larger purchse only to not… Read more
receive it. When I contacted the enquiries email, the response was equally disappointing. The explaination was they can runout of the free items and put in a coupon in replacement. The two issues I have here are 1) there was no coupon in the box and 2) if there was, it probably means having to purchase more products to get any use out of it (read, more sales for them). When I replied that i didn't even receive a coupon, the reply was simply 'sorry again that this one missed the mark'. excuse me but what?
Again, while the bonus items are probably small in value, this company simply doesn't deliver what it offers and I feel the offer equates to a scam that they have a simplt out for not delivering, and that is sorry but they ran out of the product. Customer service at Elite doesn't offer service and isn't for the customer.
