S.A. Elite

Convenient Sports Authority specialty store. I mostly go to SA anyways for buying active wear so its great to have a store mainly selling this and running shoes at the mall. The nearest SA to me is otherwise far away and it usually is packed since there is a huge selection of products at the store.
The SA Elite store sells everything at the same price as the SA store which is great considering how things tend to be overpriced if located in Cherry Creek. The selection is great and all the well known brands are stocked at this location. Customer service is great, very attentive without being annoying. Will continue to visit this store to stock on new workout clothes for all seasons given the extreme weather changes in Denver!

I had a great return experience with Hap the other day. I couldn’t find my receipt but he sorted through the system and found it. It was terrific. Add to that the great shoe fitting experience that I received and I will definitely be back. Great store.

I’ve been dying for some new running shoes as of late since my knees are really starting to complain during every run. As the BF and I were wandering around the mall, poking our heads into several stores with athletic shoes, receiving very little help or guidance, we finally made our way to S.A. Elite.
As we walked in, we were immediately greeted by an associate and asked what we were looking for. I didn’t feel like stumbling around aimlessly, so I let him know that I was in search of new running shoes. Emeric, I believe his name was, asked if I wanted to have my feet’s pressure points analyzed as well as my gait while running.
Um, yes!
The whole process took a few minutes, but it was really cool. I got to see how I actually stand and which points on my feet receive the most pressure. Evidently I have rather high arches! After running a few strides on the treadmill, we took a look at that as well. Once all the information was gather, Emeric had me try on several pairs of running shoes that gave my high arches great support and take them for a few steps on the treadmill.
Ah, the pain in my knees was gone with a lovely pair of Asics! I so wanted them! Sadly, there was some confusion on the sale prices due to how it was marked and I wasn’t able to purchase anything last night.
But I really wanted to write this review to rave about the excellent service I received while working with Emeric. He was passionate and knowledgeable about the products without being pushy. I really enjoyed my experience working with him. So congrats to you, sir! Keep up the great work!
As for the shoes, I’d love to get them someday. Hopefully sooner rather than later!
I really dug S.A. Elite. While I was only searching for running shoes, the store had an amazing selection of active wear as well. I’m not sure how long this shop has been in Cherry Creek, but it’s certainly a welcomed edition to the sporting goods scene.
I’ll be back!

I feel slightly overwhelmed to go places such as these let alone to this kind of place. Arent sure why? Maybe I am not in the best of shape to be going to this kind of place. Everyone who works in this store looks fit, lean and trim. Nevertheless, I just go with the flow. try to find that particular item but unfortunately they don’t have it…
They have the «clearance» section at the far end of this store, on the left wing of this store. Unfortunately, they don’t have what I was looking for. *Sad Face*
Furthermore, while I was there with Hubs, I could not recall the item, the actual name of it. I ask the S. A Elite Staffs whether they know about the convertible pants that I was looking for, but to no avail. Anyways managed to get an item which I need since my other hats/​caps were wearing off and this item, I have been eyeing for, for such a long time. This recent visit was on Friday June 21^st 2013. Time was about 18:15hrs ish. All in all, might return to this store when needed or in this neighborhood.

Well, I will never shop at SA Elite in Cherry Creek again. This was my first visit and I was not treated like a valued customer. The only thing positive to say is that there was a nice selection of clothes but I will just go somewhere else.
I picked up some clothes to try on and I entered a dressing room. There were several items already in the room but people always just leave clothes in dressing rooms so I thought nothing of it.
A few minutes later, a male sales associate knocked on my door saying that he had that room reserved for another customer. I said Ok and I was trying to get dressed to leave. Literally less than one minute late, the female customer said to me in a very rude tone to hand her clothes. I said I was just getting ready to leave. I felt very disrespected by the employee (and of course the lady) since he never said something like ‘sorry to bother you…’ or ‘whenever you are done, please leave those clothes in there.” …nothing nice at all. I felt like I was getting kicked out just for trying on clothes.
If you expect people to just know that a room is reserved, then put a sign up or something letting other customers know. Don’t assume that leaving clothes in a room is letting people know that it is taken. The room said vacant so I assumed it was. I have never been so embarrassed at a store in my life like I was tonight. I felt like a second class citizen and that the other customer was more important than me.
The other employees seemed pleasant enough.
I know the store doesn’t have any connection with the rude female customer but the sales associate could have said something to her about me being in there and that it wouldn’t be long. I am so disappointed.

FINALLY!
A place that has selection, colors, sizes, and exclusive items!
The staff was very helpful, yet not pushy or arrogant. Wish they carried more than just clothes. Bought a jacket that I’ve only seen online, Uggs, and a set of Oakley ski googels.
