Athleta

I have called several times to ask a question and no one answered. The phone just keeps ringing and ringing. Very frustrating and not good business

A fun store. I live in their clothes, casual but very stylish. I would not order anything from them online again. The item I ordered was lost in the mail. OK, this happens occasionally. I reordered the same item but didn’t receive it when I was told to expect it. I also received an email from Athleta stating that it had been shipped. When I spoke to customer service, they informed me that it never left the store. They located my item at another store and have now informed me that it will be delivered in two days. I’m not hopeful and have decided to forget it if I don’t receive it by the new designated time. Really, who wants anything this badly?

Ok ladies, I’m biased because I’m a *bargain shopper (my disclaimer is at the bottom). I’m in for 3.5 stars. The quality of their clothes/​goods are pretty spot-​on. I’ve only shopped here a few times but if you’re looking for high-​end-​ish workout clothing this may do the trick.
Stars are docked because the store has a limited selection that caters to mainstream media of women’s fitness (i.e if you’re looking for a Lululemon alternate this may be your niche like if you like running, yoga; however if you’re looking for gear for sports that may be a bit more rugged you’ll probably be better off sticking with your REI or
hunts.)
I can attest that their swim suits and work-​out/​moisture-​wicking dress wear is really nice. I was debating on investing on a Speedo or Nike swimsuit but they have one piece options that sub and do the trick for cheaper and are cute

I much prefer shopping Athleta online. The customer service is much better than it is in the U-​Village store. Sales associates are helpful as can be when you’re trying clothes on and considering a purchase, but if you return anything, they seem personally offended like the money’s coming out of their own paycheck (this has happened with more than one sales associate). Take a cue from Anthropologie, where the customer service is consistently positive, whether you are buying or returning items. It’ll make people want to shop at your store more, not less.

If you ask my teenage daughter which athletic apparel store she prefers, she’ll tell you Lululemon, but the truth of the matter is, she finds more to try on here at Athleta. So does Mom.
The price points at both stores are the same, so you’re not saving anything by shopping at Athleta — a workout jacket will run you $ 118 at both stores. What you gain is this:
— a broader range of sizes. This doesn’t matter if you’re a size 4, but it does if you’re a 14
— a broader range of styles. Athleta has a nice variety of styles.
There’s a great sale rail in the back of the shop, where the dressing rooms are, and it’s worth looking through. The sales people were super friendly the day we visited.

I have never been treated so well or met more attentive sales associates in my entire life, and I’m a regular at their competition ;) the prices are lower, the fabrics are great, the pants have fun patterns and the fit is excellent– the store is easy to navigate and it is very well organized. The fitting rooms are amazing and the curtain has a side hook to make sure it stays closed. They had an area for kids to play and color– even though my husband was with, they still tried to entertain my son and give him crayons. A+++ I will definitely be back!!!

My new favorite place for causal and workout clothes. Not only do they have a GREAT return policy, the staff is friendly, helpful and the price is reasonable. I used to shop at Lulu all the time and that place is the OPPISITE of Athleta so I’ve officially made the switch.
I enjoy their mail catalog and if you can’t find something in the store, they can order it for you online (kiosk avail to do so).
Quality of the material is good and lasts awhile-​so far no pilling or tears. I’ve dressed up some of my outfits from here with high heals and during casual days, flip flops.

I went and got some warm pants before the Jingle Bell Run– service was fantastic, their selection is dangerous and prices are what you expect.
I will be back. It’s just so nice to have a place to buy/​return their items!

I checked back into Athleta, but only out of sadness of not finding the running skorts that suited my purpose at Lucy.
I have to say that though the customer service was a little better during this visit, and I found a few pairs of skorts to try on, with the perfect ones a blissful win. I couldn’t stop there, as I convinced myself I needed a new running shirt, and maybe a casual shirt as well.
I really like what they have in for Fall, and will definitely come in to browse again. I just hope that the customer service gets a little friendlier (and not fake-​friendly like Lululemon!)

Simply amazing.
They just opened so everything is new, fresh, and clean. And there’s no residual paint and construction toxicity in the air.
Layout reminds me a little of Anthropologie in that there’s apparel on hangers, tables, and mannequins as well as cute accompanying accessories dispersed everywhere for your eyes to fancy and your mind to draw inspiration. We’re talking yoga tanks to outerwear, sweater dresses to beanies, headbands to gym bags, and even some jewelry! It’s one of those stores where you can spend half the afternoon looking and touching everything they have to offer. Plus I love their style and color schemes. How do they make activewear so comfortable yet fashionable? I seriously wanted to buy one of everything! And it would work because they make things small enough for petite ladies like myself (smallest size= XXS Petite). Don’t worry, there’s tall sizing for those of you with the opposite problem as me. And if they don’t have your item in stores, just head to a computer kiosk to purchase on their website. Oh tech-​savvy-​ness.
Merchandise aside, the people there are great. Super approachable and friendly. I was greeted upon entering, checked on in a few, and got to chatting with a Athleta rep re store events and offerings. as if talking to a girl friend of mine. I really like down to earth people. Oh and the neat offerings are free hemming, in-​store classes, and a discount for instructors. Love!
Enough gushing, get shopping!
