lululemon athletica

I’ve always been a long term fan of Lulu.
I recently made an order online and the size wasn’t right, so I checked online and called the nearest Lululemon @ Derby Street they said they close at 9PM today.
I decided to drive to the store for an exchange or a return. It was 8:43PM and even though the store had 4 employees, they said they closed the register and they are closed.
Understand Lululemon is not like Starbucks or Dunkin Donuts… some customers have to hike to get to one. If you can’t close at the time you promise online or on the phone, you should just change the store hour.
A waste of people time, gas, and money!

I used to avoid this location because of snarky sales associates but I went back recently solely due to proximity and was pleasantly surprised. The sales associates were all very helpful and pleasant, such a nice surprise. The quality of the products has noticeably gone down quite a bit as I was taking back a ripped at the seam pair of pants. They let me exchange them with no issues though, and I actually did but some other items despite knowing there has been a downgrade in quality of fabric. I do still find their workout wear cute. I do wish it was made as well as it used to be especially as the prices are still pretty steep. In terms of this location though, the service was stellar.

Expensive clothes with a hipster yoga vibe. Be careful with purchases. Very strict return policy. Make sure you like it. Look for their stuff on eBay instead.

Every pair of pants that I’ve bought there have held up for years without pilling or fading. I have dozens of tops and even without a sports bra they offer enough support so that you’re comfortable. I’m looking forward getting Lulu gifts from my husband every year at Christmas. The free hemming is also a nice perk.

Lululemon is a good example of a store where you get what you pay for. Yes, the clothing is rather expensive, but yes you will be wearing your groove pants everyday, and they look good with everything and are warm. The quality of there clothing is amazing. I honestly dont wash the «wicking fabric» like I should, and my clothese still hold up. Little details like the key pocket in the pants, a strategically placed thumb hole in sweatshirts, and very breathable and supportive tops make this the go to place for sportswear.
The store itself is conveniently located in Derby Street next to White’s Bakery, although Derby is crazy these days! The interior is very sustainable, from their reusable bags with words of wisdom, reusable and recycled content items, and materials they used to build the store with.
The staff is beyond knowledgeable, and you truly get they prcactice what they preach, in fact I see many out in the area. They have free yoga classes, charity events, a community board, and a strong following. I was at barecove one day and saw a group of girls all shapes and sizes running, nothing snooty or clicky, just moms, students and individuals supporting eachother.
I think supporting a company like this adds value, and I am willing to pay a little more for a company that is socially respnsibly and adding value to the community.

Not my favorite lululemon location, but not terrible either. Selection is good, customer service is below average from what I’m used to with this brand. I was in the store yesterday and no one really greeted or helped me. I had to seek out the staff when I had a question (and it didn’t appear to be very busy). If I’m dropping a hundred bucks on a jacket or pair of workout pants, I expect a little extra attention.
When I was home over the holidays, I had a much better overall experience at the Tyson’s Corner & Clarendon locations (DC metro area). I do love that they’ll hem any of their pants for you at no extra charge and the quality of the clothing is stellar. Everything I own thus far seems to be well-​made and durable.

Beautiful store, great selection of merchandise (style, size, and colors), and friendly staff. Suburban stores like these (not the «showrooms») seem to have better selection and aren’t as picked over… so if you’re in the mood to do some serious lulu shopping, head here… you’ll have a much better selection than the city stores. Because, honestly, who wants to wait for their Lululemon?

I broke down and bought a crop here (can’t remember if it was the groove II crop or the rockout crop– it’s not reversable, so i think it might be the rock out– but the waistband color is exactly the same as one of the groove crop choices, so I can’t tell!) and it’s AMAZING. When i wear other workout/​yoga pants they feel *so*cheaply made compared to the lulu pants. Plus, I’m a size smaller in this store AND the pants lift your butt. What more could a girl want?

Either I’m getting serious about running or the women at this store are super salespeople… Hmmm…maybe it’s the latter. I had some questions about running pants and Michelle and Elizabeth were amazing. They know their stuff. They showed me different types of pants (even ones that allegedly make your ass look amazing), talked about running needs, pros and cons of different pants; plus, they were friendly, real, honest, and, again, almost convinced me to drop over $ 100 on a pair of running pants. Who DOES that? Apparently lots of people, because the store was bustling. But, again, the women who work there are incredible and if I do manage to save up and decide to drop some bills on running clothes, I’m coming back. Oh wait – since the biggest size they carry is a 12 – maybe I won’t. At least until I’ve run myself down to a size 12, which probably won’t happen, and I’m okay with that.

Just got a pair of workout pant yesterday. On SALE + FREE Hemming = Happy Me! Can’t beat a $ 49 Lululemon pant. Staff was super helpful. Can’t wait to go back there again!

Where do you go when you want to overpay for spandex? Lululemon! I have a love/​hate relationship with Lululemon. Let’s face it… why do we need to spend over $ 50 for a pair of what is technically a pair of gym pants? Because they are super comfortable gym pants that look fantastic outside of the gym. Heck, I guess you are getting two pairs of pants for the high price of one. (For full disclosure… I own several Lululemon items but I only wear for exercising.)
Anyway, the staff at the Hingham Lululemon are wonderful. Super helpful and always friendly. They offer to hem pant and shirt/​tank lengths for «free» (it is most likely built into their retail price), which is exceptionally useful for those of us that are on the petite side. As someone of such stature, I have made use of this service and it is fantastic. Their pants are exquisitely soft and comfortable, even through multiple washings. The tank tops are another story; I have had a lot less success with the tank tops, which just do not work well with my torso. However, they do have some really cute designs.
So when you are ready to splurge on some spandex pants, go to Lululemon. You won’t be disappointed.

I love this store. My husband sure doesn’t, because you walk out without dropping a pretty penny, but you sure do look good and feel good.
The options are endless, tons of tops, great fitting pants, overshirts… all of it, and with lots of colors. The only gripe I have is how fast they sell out, it is almost a mad dash to get there and buy it before they sell out (very competitve). I wish they would stock more of the popular sizes.
Staff is VERY accomodating, especially when you try on bundles of clothes and they happily put them away and grab more. They always call you by name and remember what you bought and what will match past purchases.
The store itself is inviting and a pleasant shopping experience. I wish they wouldn’t move stuff so often because it is a pain to rummage around to find what you saw only yesterday, but oh well.
Two thumbs up. A few hundred $ down!

The best service you can find! They focus on each client. 1 on 1 …
and they really listen to what you are looking for.
The store has a soothing atmosphere, and is easy to shop… both for men and women, and all of the work out clothing is designed to fit any athletic lifestyle, from yoga class to spinning to marathon runner…

This store qualifies for an ‘Ohmigod”. I’m not entirely certain how I lived without Lulu… prior to this store opening in the Derby Street Shops I must have been going through life in a fugue state. This is a Canadian company and being a canuk myself I’m particularly partial… that aside the technical gear here is out of this world. If you’ve never tried Lululemon you’ll do backflips the first time you try a run in their incredibly wicking proprietary fabric.
The prices aren’t for the penny-​pinching, but it’s a worthwhile investment. Styles are flattering and they’ve got a zillion colors to choose from. Go back often because they’re always getting new things in and they sell out– FAST. Unfortunately, they don’t really do mark downs so it’s rare to get a deal, these togs are an absolute must if you’re a hot yoga fanatic or really work up a sweat at the gym. Be forwarned: You’ll be addicted.
P. S. They’ll tailor for FREE– inseams can be a bit long for the non-​supermodel set and they’ll give you shoes and fit the pants for you in store on the spot.

Lululemon finally kicked it up a notch and opened another Boston location (if you count Hingham as Boston)… if you could somehow have an affair with a shopping plaza, however, I may have found a way to do it with the Derby Shoppes.
Anyhoo… this sportswear store is not for the faint of heart (or for the empty of pocketbook). A bit on the expensive side (think $ 50 – 60 for a sports bra) the quality of the merchandise is outta this world.
They have a wide array of yoga wear, running type stuff, and ridiculously cute hoodies…
The shop is located on the left side, next to Jasmine Sola and (ironically) a bakery…
