Lululemon

Came in to shop for my birthday last night as a surprise from my boyfriend– I typically never step foot in here due to the high prices. I was checking out the workout leggings when Alecia came over to see if I needed help. I typically prefer to shop on my own and don’t like suggestions or sales pitches, however Alecia was very helpful. She pointed me towards the pants which would work best for my workout routine and thoroughly explained the differences and benefits. I was sold. I decided to try on some tops as well. Alecia wrote a cute little birthday message on my fitting room door and was beyond helpful finding alternate sizes and styles to fit my larger chest. She even brought in some sale items which I appreciated. In the end I settled on a pair of running tights and a $ 168 sweater. I have never spent so much on one article of clothing but when I tried this on I couldn’t imagine taking it off. I can’t rave enough about how helpful the staff here was and as everyone else has said– I am hooked

Fashionable stuff. Too bad they have poor ethics and practices. Nothing over a size 12… they’re losing out on a market for size 14+…

I was given some free swag at the gym and now I hate that I love this T so much solely because I cant justify buying another one at $ 48. Ill be on the lookout for coupons & sales. Their clothing is of good quality and it fits perfectly, I’m sure ill cave in someday…
Oh, and the staff is lovely!
Also, I just recently found a hidden message in my shirt that says, ‘I go the distance for … CHEESE’ which I thought was funny.

The first time I walked into the store I didn’t even know it was Lululemon since there was only a symbol out front. I finally got back yesterday and I’m happy that I did. I chatted with a very friendly staff member who gave me the real scoop about what went down with the quality issues with their pants and assured me that the problems had been fixed. When I told her I was looking for running pants she showed me the styles they carry and got me set up in a fitting room. She even brought me some items that had been marked down. Sweet! Eventually I settled on a full-​price pair for $ 86. I had some sticker shock but when I think about the money I’ve spent on inexpensive pants and tights that don’t hold up it makes sense to spend the extra money. I hope my pants live up to the brand’s reputation.

I’ve accepted (finally) that im addicted to lululemon clothes. When you think about buying a $ 100 pair of sweat pants, it sounds preposterous. I know this. Then you wear them and you dont want to ever wear anything else. I’ve been ruined.
Lululemon clothes are highly technically designed to fit accurately and comfortably while somehow making you instantly feel like a fitness model. Stuff goes on sale… try it. Go ahead; just do it.
The staff here is friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. They are all pretty active in the fitness/​wellness lifestyle and bring real world experiences to their job.
One more thing… keep a lookout for free yoga in store.

Days off are always dangerous to my credit card and today was no exception. I discovered the Cranston Lululemon and managed to score some wonderful high quality items. I was greeted by a wonderful staff member who offered help as soon as I got there. After reading Hillary’s review of their pants I asked to try on a pair. Finding pants for me is no easy task, I am five foot ten with a 34 inch inseam which was no problem for Lululemon. I tried on 2 pair brought to me and one was absolutely perfect. I found a beautiful work out jacket and two work out T’s. The staff couldn’t be more accommodating. It’s so nice to shop in a store that has helpful staff without being over bearing.

The only pilates/​yoga pants I’ve found that truly resist the onset of The Dreaded Pilates Reformer Plumber’s Crack of Doom. Once you’ve witnessed the horrors of TDPRPCOD, you too will think that $ 90 for exercise pants are a bargain.

The new lululemon store in GC is nothing short of awesome. Every crop, top, mat, undie, legging or lounge item you could possibly desire they have here, all neatly arranged and easy to pick from their magical walls of display cubbies. No sooner will you select an item than a sweet, friendly and incredibly fit lady will arrive to comment, introduce herself and then whisk your pick away into a changing cubicle for you. Such service.
I have to be honest and tell you I resisted the lulu for a long time. $ 60 work out tops? $ 90 leggings?! Craziness. Then I started going yoga, and then I started doing yoga hardcore. You see, lulu’s stuff doesn’t ride up, pill, lose shape or get stanky which is nothing short of amazing given the extent to which I sweat, twist, stretch and fall in it. It really is superior, not to mention super cute and flattering.
Anyway, the new location is beautiful, fun and compelling in do many ways, and I’m glad it’s just a hop, skip and jump from the PVD. Totally worth the drive and every penny. Totally.
