Athleta

I went to this store for the first time today. They are currently having a sale. I love the clothing! However, I had read that the company offers a discount for fitness professionals. When I enquired about this, I told the sales associate that I was a physical therapist to which I was told did not qualify for the discount. I was told it was for people who taught exercise such as yoga instructors and personal trainers. Then I was informed that those certifications are more in line with what the store is about. I find it highly insulting to myself and the physical therapy profession that a place like Athleta does not consider physical therapy a «profession in line with what we are about». Physical therapists teach people about exercise all day and promote fitness. I felt so insulted that I almost decided to walk out without buying anything. Also, I wear your clothing all the time at work which I will stop doing. If you feel that what I do isn’t in line with what you do, I will stop promoting you. Written by Jen, wife of Alex.
