Athleta

I was really looking forward to visiting Athleta for the first time, as I had done some research on full coverage yoga tops and Athleta specifically advertised for this. They have a beautiful store at Kierland, with very friendly and helpful staff. They identified quickly that I was from out of town, and let me know they offer shipping to Canada which I was happy about. They had plenty of full coverage top options, and a TON of pants on sale for great prices (was able to score some yoga pants for $ 35 a pair!) that AREN’T see-​through in the rear! I’m looking forward to wearing them at home in my upcoming practices!

I just got ready for bed after a busy day watching the bears Lose at the sports bar, taking a walk, holiday dinner, and duties caring for my 96year old mother in law. I took off my top and threw it in the hamper, then got it out again to look at the label as I realized how comfortable that top was and how much I really enjoyed wearing it. Athleta. Ahhhh. Need I say more?

The clothes themselves get 4 stars. The customer service –3 and that averages to 1 star.
I find the manager to be very incompetent. Whatever criteria she has to hire people has got to change. I never came across a group of employees that are so ignorant, mean, and lack common sense as I did with the staff at Athleta Scottsdale.
Oh and whoever is behind their social media pages is rude.
With four other athletic-​wear stores in Kierland/​scottsdale quarter they really need to step up their game to make it in this market.
If you are white, blonde and equally as clueless as the employees you probably would have a positive experience. I noticed that they bend over backward for some but ignore most especially ignore those with a brain!

This store is phenomenal. Great atmosphere and super friendly staff. I have been a fan of this store brand for my wife for years.

I LOVE their merchandise and it’s great to have something other than lulu (are they even still around??) but customer service is absolutely horrible. Whoever does the hiring needs to reevaluate their hiring procedure cause right now it’s just not working.
Save the stress and the great chance of being verbally abused by their employees (especially the woman with short blond hair) and order online.

I have been going to the Athleta store in Portland and I was happy to see the one in Kierland open last year. I love their yoga pants more than any of their other products. So far, I have 4 pairs, 2 long and 2 capris, the other bonus is that they are not see thru, I checked, don’t asked me how. The only downside is that they are never on sale like other store (hint, hint, across the street). I am glad I can at least use my rewards points to make them more affordable.

Athleta is owned by Gap and sells women’s athletic apparel similar to lululemon and Lucy. I’ve been getting their catalog for ages so I was happy to finally stop in today. This is the only Athleta store in Arizona, located in Kierland Commons (across the street from Scottsdale Quarter).
Price-​wise, it’s on par with Lucy – and coincidentally, there is a Lucy store about a 20-​second walk away in the same complex. I was able to find a couple of pairs of yoga pants on sale — the sale section is a bit hidden away in the fitting room area, so make sure you don’t miss it.

Athlea is a part of the great Banana Republic Empire. Which may actually be part of the great Gap Empire. I really do not know who is the grand Pooba here. But, anyway you get the jest.
You can use any of your Empire Credit Cards here. As well as the traditional Visa and Master Card. As well as American notes as well. Not sure about checks.
Anyway, the merchandise is good quality, as is the high prices. But, along with the high prices you also get some other good perks.
They are a good company, been around now for a long time.(The Empire). You can get anything hemmed complementary, which is awesome.
You can bring anything back with the receipt. Even better, if you order something from them on line and for some reason do not like it. You can take it back to the store with your receipt.
You have to love these little things that make one’s life easier, I know I do.
I do like the products they sell. Everything is quite well made and very comfortable. They are open 7 days a week as well.
It is located in the Kierland Commons, so parking can at times be a bit dodgy.
