Bodybuilding.com is a large sports nutrition company based in Boise, Idaho. Our goal from the beginning was to make this web site the best source for bodybuilding information and interactivity on the Net while at the same time providing the largest bodybuilding cyberstore for quick and easy shopping! The site opened to the public on April 13th, 1999 after six months of development. We have grown to over 18,000 pages and have been recently ranked the number one most visited bodybuilding site in the world!
Bodybuilding.com boasts impressive numbers and ranking with these achievements:
- Most Visited Bodybuilding And Fitness Site In The World
- #1 Sports Nutrition E-Retailer
- 2-Time Inc. 500 Company 2005-2006
- Ranked Number 1391 On Alexa’s Most Visited Web Sites
- 200,000+ Unique Daily Visitors
- One of America’s Top 500 E-Retailers, and;
- One of the Top 75 Companies of the Idaho Private 75
We started the online store because, as bodybuilders, we were tired of paying ridiculous prices for products that didn't do half of what the advertising said it would. We saw that these big corporations were getting rich by ripping us off!

The main problem was that the products went through so many "middle men", they had no choice but to charge outrageous prices! The manufacturer sells it to a distributor, the distributor doubles the price and then sells to another local distributor who then sells it for a big profit to the retail stores. The retail stores double that price and sell it to it's unknowing customers. The end result is a price so high that you would have to be rich to be able to afford what you want!
We also believed that the keys to bodybuilding and fitness success were information, motivation, and supplementation. You need information so you know what to do to get results from your efforts. You need motivation so you stick with your program over the long term. You also need supplementation to help you get the best possible results!
So we decided to do something about it. We started a company that would cut out the middle men, and sell high quality products directly to the public at amazing wholesale prices! After a few years we became the largest supplement wholesaler on the Net, and we can proudly say that we have made it possible for the average bodybuilder to gain strength and size faster and easier than ever! We sell more high quality supplements than ANY other site on the Net. We have millions of satisfied customers who are continually coming back for more!
Bodybuilding.com's story has been featured in Ironman Magazine, New York Times, Wall Street Journal and more. We are the 53rd largest private company in Idaho (as ranked by the Idaho Private 75 for 2004), were included in the Inc. 500 fastest growing private companies in the USA at number 230, number 152 on the Internet Retailer Top 500 e-commerce sites in the USA (number five in the health category), and growing!
We now have two retail stores and two warehouses. One shipping warehouse is in Boise, Idaho and one is in Tallahassee, Florida.
We have had over 3,000,000 orders placed through our online store!
You can buy from us knowing that you are getting the high quality products that WORK at the best prices ever! Only fellow bodybuilders could do that!
