Lululemon Athletica

This location is great for me as it is close to where I live. It’s also one of the larger ones I have been to and has a more floor space dedicated to their Men’s line than others. Since it is not located in a shopping mall like the Eaton’s Centre, they also allow dogs into the store as they leave a water bowl and some treats to encourage four-​legged shoppers.
The staff I find are helpful when you need them and they are plenty of change rooms if you want to try before you decide. The slight negative is if they do have what you are looking on floor for but it is in a box according to their inventory tracking system, they don’t open the box during store hours but can hold the product for you for the next day.
If you don’t live in the neighbourhood and are taking the TTC, it’s not the most convenient location. If you plan to drive, because you’re far enough from both Eglinton and Lawrence, you’ll probably find street parking.
I’m not going to review their clothing as I reserve that for their own website but I do really like it. I’m also not much of a yoga person so I will add that I enjoy their line of running wear as it leads into my next topic, their run club.
Tuesdays at 6:30pm, this store is the meeting place for their run club. If you’re a serious marathoner or even half-​marathoner, this might not be the place for you. If you want to run a nice evening 5k with a nice group of people, then this is right for you. Routes are planned in advance and posted in their Facebook group and they usually target a 5k or 10k race somewhere in the city as motivation.
On the basis of the location (for me), the men’s section, service, and the run club, I give the 5-​star rating.

I stopped in here because I was in the hood. Lately I noticed that Lulu’s website has some pretty cool items, so I stopped in to see them in person. Unfortunately it does look like they launch on the website first, so they didn’t have them yet.
The staff were friendly and helpful, and invited me back in to see the new items, which they think will be arriving any day now.
That’s pretty nice if you ask me.

I just wanted to thank Holly and everyone at Lululemon at this location. I had a horrible mishap ordering a much loved Practice Daily Tank (in zinfandel) from the Lululemon website. My entire order was lost by FedEx who delivered the package to someone else at a different address from my shipping address, and they also had some random person sign for the package (I know this because the signature is from an unknown person). When I inquired FedEx about my package they brushed me off and told me their job was done as the package was delivered and received by someone at the designated address (even though I never received it). Long story short, I got screwed by Fedex and lost my order for good. Contacted Lulu head office but unfortunately they didn’t have the shirt in my size anymore so I couldn’t even reorder it. So yesterday, I popped into the Yonge and Briar Hill location hoping to find the top — they had it but in one size smaller, which still fit me though I preferred a bigger size. Anyway, Holly had helped me the entire time (I told her my story) and she called several stores for me to hopefully locate another tank in my preferred size. No luck. I love the tank so I decided to buy the smaller tank anyway. When I went to go pay for the tank, Holly kindly informed me that the tank top was on them. I was speechless! I didn’t believe her at first but she was insistent. I have always had good experiences with lulu but this was beyond a nice gesture. So I have to praise them and especially Holly for being so understanding and generous. You have really made my day and I cant think you enough. I really wanted to share my story and experience. Thank you again Holly and lulu at Yonge and Briar Hill.

LULULEMON, why you no have size S for men in inventory… ever?!?
I want a new hoodie… no S for men, except for barf green and bruise purple.
I want new sweat pants… no S for men, EVER. Also, why no more cotton jersey pants? Why only luon on fleece?
I want new undies… no S for men.
You get the trend.
I want to give you my money! Why can’t your logistics department get it, that your clothes fit HUGE and you need more stock of men’s SMALL.
:(

I hate this place. I walk in and am always looked up and down. I’m usually a size 0 – 2 but here i am at least an 8 because ccc
Don’t get me started on the prices.

Oh Lululemon how I love your gear. Yes, you might be expensive and a little bit yuppie but for the quality you are well worth every penny.
I have mutliple tops & pants from Lululemon for yoga and running and I have no complaints. They are wonderful workout gear. Sometimes, I even wear the gear casually on weekends. Super comfortable, no chaffing and they make your legs look great.
The yonge & egliniton location is one of the bigger stores in the Toronto area. They had a wide selection of running pants which was what I was looking for. The sales associate was super helpful. She even brought pants from the clearance section for me to try on as I was making my decision.
I recommend stopping by and shopping at this Lululemon location as it has great selection and great service!

Lululemon is a good place to pick up some nice workout clothes, especially if you do yoga. They have plenty of options for both men and women.
Most of the clothes look skin-​tight, but the fabric is so stretchy, breathable and super comfortable. They have a nice selection of pants for girls that come in different cuts and colors. The sport bras come in cute colors and you can find them in padded, non-​padded, zip-​up etc.
This particular Lululemon has a clean and spacious changing room. The merchandise is organized and there is a place where you can serve yourself a cup of cool lemon water on a hot day.
The downfall about this location for me was that there was no one who greeted me when I walked in or offered me any help in the store, even though I was there for a while and struggling looking for particular items. Also, some of the fabrics on particular clothes create piling overtime, which is a bummer especially when the prices are a little steep.
Overall, Lululemon is a cool store to pick up some trendy and comfy athletic wear; do expect the merchandise to be pricey. Also, if you’re shopping at this location, you may be left without any assistance.

I love my Lulu and can’t resist it even when I’m in Toronto and have to pay 13% sales tax instead of 9.5% in SF.
Ah well.
The girl who was manning the changing rooms was SOOOO patient with me. Like Incredibly patient. Thank you so much.
Yes, it’s exp.
Yes, it’s ridic.
But dang, it makes me feel cute when i’m working out. So there

I love lululemon. I won’t wear anything else to the gym. The yoga pants tend to wear because of pulling — from washing or rubbing against rough surfaces but they’re comfy and flattering. I find they have something for everyone.
Most of the staff are great, others can be a bit snobby. Wish it was a bit more affordable. Items in black are also more expensive than colours, which is a bit annoying because i love black… and it’s slimming — key for the gym.

It is time for a male to review this place. And wouldn’t you know it, it’s close to the Puma store. What a treat!
Being from a different demographic, our wives used to wear this stuff, then recently our daughters wore it, and now our wives are wearing it again.
I guess the clothing is comfortable and casual, but it does not feel ‘right’. This is a trend, and the fact that the clientele is aging should be chasing anyone under 25 away really quickly. And how many people do yoga anyway? As many people as did Atkins probably, and we saw where that went!
I bought my lovely wife a pair of ‘pants???’ for traveling. They had a nice pinstripe and a red and white band around the middle of the hips. I was told this was funky, and that the pants were really comfortable. I don’t think you can show off that band, but it’s there. And watch out for those snags.
I guess if you combine this look with Pumas you have «Birkenstock 2009» all defined. In fairness they have a few tops that are not made of that hellish fabric. But the important thing is that those who wear them seem to love them… for now. And for a synthetic they are not cheap… I know the cut… the style… ouch!
Trust me this is stuff you will be showing your daughters in a few years and saying: «can you believe mom wore that!».
