Beautiful clothing, great fits but beware if you need a return. Don't cut any tags on the garment. Take a good look in better light than their dressing rooms to make sure of any issues. read more

Athleta - At the neckline, the fabric doesn't lay smoothly. - Sports Wear Near Me - Corte Madera, California

They had a special for a free limited edition tote bag if you spent $175. It was a little busy and the staff couldn't keep up! The line to check out was short but took a long time! People were returning items and picking up read more

Time to retire the skinny skinny mirrors. Stop giving shoppers false information about how clothes look on our bodies.

I love athleta for so many reasons and levels, as a trainer I wear my clothes to DEATH and athleta leggings and sports bras stand the test of time and durability for me. Their B corporation status and fulfillment of realistic women's fitness portrayal in their advertisements hooks me even more. I recently went in needing clothes for a photo shoot and the sales associate (Lauren? Leah? I feel bad I forgot) was amazing at helping me choose outfits and have fun doing so, and I ended up having great outfits for my shoot. Thank you! read more

Just got GREAT deals-tall Inlet jacket, (dress blue), flurry turtleneck (white)...Illume SPF top (gray heather), got to get summer wardrobe ready...I'm a coffee shopper, cannot resist app shopping while having AN coffee. I am addicted to Athleta!!! They are the best - at 5'11" there are very few options - although I have to order talls online, I can still try most things on in the store & can figure out what I want to order. Athleta carries petites & plus sizes, and has lots of sales (check out the website, or the rack at that back of the store). Athleta just sent me a $50 gift card - I like the perks! I'll try out their online exercise & wellness classes next. read more

I have an extremely strict dress code for work, so I came to this Athleta hoping to find a good quality pair of pants that would meet the mark. First of all, I have to say that this store is super well stocked! During a time where a lot of stores are running low on inventory, I didn't expect to find my size in so many options. The staff is also extremely friendly; I had collected a lot of items to try on, and a sales associate noticed immediately and took them off my hands and set up a fitting room for me. Additionally, I was agonizing over if a certain pair of pants would meet the strict dress code (non-athletic, non-form fitting, enough pockets to hold passport and keys, can only be black, red, purple or brown), I had not one, but TWO sales associates suggest items for me and go back into the store to get them for me! In addition, they mentioned that they eliminated the shipping costs since their inventory had been so low during covid (which I did not really experience). I know Athleta can be really expensive, but they have a huge sale selection! And ultimately, I wanted to purchase a good quality pair of pants I could and would still wear even if I left my job, so I am glad Athleta had such a good selection, and I didn't have to settle for ugly cargo pants . read more

I was in the area today and wanted to stop by to pick up some leggings. When I stepped into the store, the blonde sales associate nearby greeted me. She was nice, or so I thought. I dug through a pile of the 7/8 Saturation leggings trying to find a size L in black but no luck. I asked that same SA and she checked on her phone for inventory, but she tells me they're all out. Then I continued to dig through another pile of black Elations leggings, all the while she's just standing there being useless and not offering to help me look. I once again, ask her to check and she says to me "no, we don't have a L in black. You can try a medium". What the hell? I told her no, that's not going to fit. I walked away to pay for my other item and watched her be extra friendly to all the other customers that were all White. So disrespectful. This location sucks. Even the cashier who rang me up was so cold. I don't get it? Am I being racially profiled? Did I not dress up well enough to deserve to be treated like everyone else in the store? Never coming back. read more

This Athleta store is a mixed bag. I love Athleta clothing, and this store is conveniently located and nicely designed and has a good selection. They usually are very good about taking returns on items I have purchased online. However, I have had some bad experiences with the sales staff there recently, especially an older woman who appears to be the manager. To some degree these bad experiences are probably stemming from corporate level policies that make it difficult for the brick and mortar stores to make money when they have to compete with the Athleta online store, so it is not really their fault I suppose. Yesterday I went in to try on a variety of new styles. There are a variety of holiday sales going on now, but I don't want to buy and return a million things to find the right size and style. I am 5'2" so I almost always need to wear petites, so I expected to have to order online after I tried things on in the store because they never carry petites. At first the sales staff were very nice to me, maybe in part because I am the white middle aged customer who is more likely to spend a lot. But I am also a Gen X'r who is an expert at online shopping. Once they saw me looking on my phone to see if a style I liked came in petites after I tried things on, their mood sure changed. First the manager lady told me that she could look it up faster on her phone that I could on mine to see if they came in petites. When I actually pulled it up faster on mine, she told me that even though the Athleta website said they had them in stock, that they really didn't according to her information. They she said I should get the regular length ones they had in the store hemmed by them for free instead. From what I can tell, she was probably lying to me. I placed an order for the petites online, and they are now on their way. Interestingly, once I went into the REI next door to look at their Athleta selection on sale, the items I had been looking online at on the Athleta website suddenly were available with a further 30% off promo discount! I wonder if the location detection capacity on the phone was being used by Atheleta to suppress the extra discount promo from popping up while I was in the brick and mortar store. I also noticed that my cell reception seemed much better in other stores in the same mall, so maybe they ever try to block that in the dressing rooms at Athleta so we can't shop online while at the store? I know this sounds a touch paranoid at first, but my hubby works in retail tech so I know they have the capacity to do things like this. So of course I cancelled the first online order and placed a second one for the same items. So in the end I even spent much less than I would have had I bought them in store, and with the money I saved I bought more items I wanted that were deeply on sale on the website. I also bought some things on the REI website that were on sale there that were even less than at the Athleta website, and half the price they were in the Athleta store. I did buy a tank top at the physical store because I felt bad for the mess I made with trying on a million things in the dressing room, even thought I could have purchased it online for considerably less. Their previously friendly attitude sure changed once they saw I was not going to be a big sale, and the older manager woman was on the verge of being downright mean. I do feel for the younger women and women of color not getting respect on help at this store, but being in their target demographic was a bad experience too. They whole experience started as a fun holiday time shopping experience, but ended up giving me a bad feeling. I should not have people lying to me to make a sale at a clothing retail store. This should not have been an adversarial experience. At the corporate level Athleta needs to subsidize these brick and mortar stores because they do increase sales on their online store and reduce the return rate of online sales, and not expect them to compete with the online store. They also need make sure the store has the same prices as the website. Why should I pay 30 to 50% more for the exact same items? There needs to be another way to cover the store overhead and sales person salaries, and I really don't like having to deal with a pressured sale from an angry woman who is probably lying to me over a pair of sweat pants. So go ahead and go to this store to try on the yummy products, but realize the sales staff may not really be there to help you and have your phone at the ready to order other colors and sizes for yourself. read more

Great customer service. Everyone is really nice and helpful. Parking is decent. It's next to Whole Foods and Trader Joe's so somethings the parking is a little wild but not too too bad. read more

Athleta states on their brochure "any dissatisfaction or defects will be refunded or returned." I purchased a winter jacket and followed the exact directions to wash and did not dry and laid flat. I went to the store to exchange or even get an merchandise credit because all the stuffing went To one side of the jacket. (Impossible to wear). This is less than one year old. The store manager said he just works there and the policy is nothing can be done if over 60 days. I'm a repeat customer since the company started but no longer read more

The sales associates at this store are the worst ! So much snobbery and definitely favoritism to older white affluent shoppers. I was bending over a rack to look for my size in an item and an older sales associate almost barreled me over to get to the older Caucasian woman who stepped out of the fitting room. Sales commission aggression is despicable and extremely tasteless. This isn't Nordstrom so calm down you sell athletic wear. Definitely staff could use some serious training on human interaction and decency. Also way too overpriced you are owned by Gap ! read more

I want to be honest up front: I'm an ex-Athleta employee (headquarters, not the store). However, I no longer receive a discount and I STILL shop at Athleta due to their quality, size inclusivity, and their return policy. Obviously as an employee who got a discount I loved the clothes. But even now paying full price I still think the quality is 100% worth it. You can even return ANYTHING, and ANYTIME. Out of all the Athleta stuff I've ever purchased I've never had to return something due to quality-I've been wearing the same workout pants multiple times a week for going on 5+ years and they still look and feel great. I've been to this location a couple of times just to return items and the staff is always super nice and the store is clean. read more

Very disappointed with customer service. Due to COVID and travel, past the 60 days for returns/credit and the manager at Corte Madera, Heidi, showed no understanding or flexibility. Loyal shopper that will now be looking elsewhere. Very disappointed. read more

The staff here were super helpful! I had a question about a product after I checked out and Kimi took me to the product and talked me through it, all during the Christmas rush. Much appreciated, as a guy in an Athleta! read more

I love Lululemon, high quality product and normally good staff BUT last time I went there (2 weeks ago) customer services was horrible. Olivia, who was presented as a manager, was so mean to me, she didn't even listened to what I was about to say, she looked angry and tired. Honestly, thinking 10 times before I need to go to this store again. read more

Athleta is my favorite brand for outdoor and sportswear. Unfortunately, they don't live up to their policy on returns, repairs and satisfaction that they were founded on. And some of the corte madera shop staff, Aubrie, extremely rude, sneering and laughing with coworkers while I try to resolve product repair. Luckily, her wonderful colleague undid her in professionalism. Some customer service etiquette needed. Will forego bad behavior for the products I like. read more

I am a self-proclaimed Athleta addict. By this I mean I know EVERYTHING about the brand. In fact, most Athleta stores I walk in to, I know the merchandise better than most of the sales associates (which is fine). I have an Athleta card, and I browse the website every day (no joke). Every workout item I own is Athleta, and I am more than happy to recommend the brand to my friends and family. Most Athleta stores I have been to are incredibly welcoming! Well, FORGET about it here. I reserved an item online and when I came in to pick it up, I had to wait 5+ minutes to get my item in my hands. In addition, the process into getting the item into my hands was painful. The women were unbelievably rude, demeaning, and ruthless. One of the younger sales associates used a tone that made me want to cry, which was unbelievable on her part, as I literally walked into the store wearing all Athleta clothing. What screams wanting to spend money more than that?! Long story short, if you're looking for an awesome Athleta store that lives up to its potential, head into the city because women are a heck of a lot nicer and more responsive there. Marin prides itself customer service and belonging. Forget about it here, because you won't find it. So sad to be giving my favorite store in the world one star. read more

Athleta is a great brand. Clothes are well made and some of the yoga leggings buttery soft. The sales staff are very friendly and accommodating. Shocking to see 1 star reviews people stating the staff ids rude. Not at all down to earthy , friendly, accommodating an knowledgeable. 1 Star reviews for this store is ridiculous. Try the store out for you self to make you own opinion but I like Athleta far more then Lulu. read more

I came in here yesterday to buy a warm-up outfit for a lady friend. Since I know absolutely nothing about women's clothing, I was hoping to get the assistance of a staff member. I must have been there for almost 15 minutes and not once did anyone say hello or ask if I needed help. It was kind of mind boggling since there were like 4 employees working the floor and only two customers in the entire shop. I felt like I was wearing an invisibility cloak, or like that scene in "Pretty Woman" where the mean ladies refuse to assist Julia Roberts. I finally just gave up and walked out. It's too bad because they had some nice clothes and I had money to spend. Alas, I just went next door to REI and bought an outfit there. Athleta - you may want to train your employees to be more welcoming. Not sure if they're working on commission or not. But long story short - I wound up spending $130 at the store next door because no one would give me the time of day. In the words of Pretty Woman, "Big mistake. Big. Huge!" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pXdIK1xgfFk read more

Love this store! I have to admit I used to be a Lulu only kind of girl. But since discovering that Athleta has revamped their leggings, I've been hooked! The powervita fabric is Ah-mazing! Soft, but holds you in and it's great for any time of year. I also love the variety in sizes, tops and athleisure clothing. Fun colors, fabrics and silhouettes. Staff is very friendly and helpful! They have something for EVERYONE. Recommend sizing down in leggings depending on how you like them to fit. read more

I went in today to do a return, and the staff were super friendly and helpful. The salesperson even called two stores to see if they had a another size for the one I was returning. Now I called that customer service! Highly recommend this store. read more

I have worn Athleta clothing for years and years. Today I went down to Marin to shop the store, rather than the catalog. Yes, the ladies are very attentive, but not overly pushy. The Manager was very pleasant, and knew the answers to my questions which surrounded the textile materials that make up the new "rib" line and the fact that snags seem to happen frequently. I purchased several items and would recommend visiting Corte Madera to see all the wonderful garments that Athleta has to offer this season. The ladies are very attentive to their customers, but they do let you look without pushing too much. The quality of Athleta has only gotten better over the years, and I am a true believer in all their lines! read more

I love Athleta, but recently had increasingly bad experiences at this store. The sales associates were so eager to "help" you that I felt hunted down. Not only was I approached by at least 5 different associates that tried to "help" me, but some of them approached several times despite me telling them politely that I was just browsing and not interested in "finding the right size" of the item I was looking at. I basically had to flee the store. This has happened before at this location, but never to this extend. I wonder if the associates are paid a success bonus and a little too eager for that. I am sad, because I would have liked spending more time in the store, to see what might make it on my shopping list. Now I will have to order a bunch of stuff online, and probably return most of it because I didn't have the opportunity to look at it at the showroom. read more

I love that I have not seen them actively market to my young girls. Stores that do that I do not buy from. So totally happy about that! I am a little turned off to my orders being placed in the store, charged and never receiving my merchandise..Who knows though, that could be the shipping company. read more

I love checking out Athleta's sales online, but what is it with their brick-and-mortar stores not having a sale rack? Or did I miss it? Do they hide it way in the back like the Anthropologie and Banana Republic stores do? Is it an image thing? (like they don't want to be considered a store that you can ever get a discount at?) This store is now open at the Town Center in Corte Madera, with the Strawberry Village Store having closed its doors. I went in on a Sunday, happy to check it out because the one in SV was always just a little too far down the highway for me... It was OK. Same cute clothes as online, but none of the sale items online. The clothes are expensive, but nice. The location is pretty good - next to the REI store, so there are other great shopping opportunities in the vicinity. read more

I live nearby and I have been at this store probably about 10-15 times in the last couple years. I am so surprised to see all the negative reviews about sales people being rude! Every time I have been here I have been treated kindly and respectfully and there is especially one woman who is super sweet and always going above and beyond to help customers. Keep up the great work, team! read more

Ummmm. I'm obsessed with Athleta clothes. Specifically the pants!! I can't get enough! The customer service at the store has been nothing less than phenomenal. They are super attentive and helpful. I will definitely return! read more

Seriously - my 14 year old daughter purchased a sale item with cash. Changed her mind and took it back. Was told they couldn't give her cash but could give a store credit. She left. Went back the next day and is told she needs an ID to process a store credit. Why? Gift cards don't have names on them. Get your crap together - shouldn't be this hard. read more

Worst shopping experience ever. First let's clear up that I do like their clothing, like not love. This review isn't based on the clothes they sell it's based on the customer service and the store itself. I had grabbed a few things off the very overly crowded, packed so tight rack that you can barely pull an item from the rack to check the size. I was carrying my items that I wanted to try on around when a nice sales lady asked me if I'd like her to take my things and put them in a room. I was happy to let her take them off my hands so I could use both hands continue to try and rummage through the overly tight packed rack. After having no luck finding my size and being completely frustrated I decided to just go try on my items the very nice sales lady took from me 5 mini earlier. When I got back to the fitting room they had misplaced or returned my items to the main shopping floor. Seriously? This has happened to me once before when I shopped at this location. Well, my very nice salesperson that originally took my things in the back said she remembered my items and would go grab replacements for me to try on. When the clothIng items were finally brought back to me theY were not only the wring items but they were the wrong sizes. As I left the store I rolled my eyes and heard across the highway to go shop at a competitors store. Since when did mediocrity become the new norm? 2 stars. read more

Today I received experienced, thoughtful guidance from Susan, assisting me in buying workout clothing when I knew next to nothing on what to look for. I loved the quality, pricing and variety in the store. Very welcoming and friendly staff. I bought 5 things and will return. Also I am attending her free in-store yoga class read more

Went in today to do some Christmas shopping. Monica was extremely helpful and answered any questions I had. Too bad she couldn't come help me with the rest of my Christmas shopping. As a guy, I was pretty clueless going into this store. Left feeling satisfied with my purchases. Too bad they don't sell men's clothing...I would be in more often! read more

This store really lives up to their tagline, "power to the she." I've long been a fan of Athleta since their early days, which is why I was so upset when I went in during the December shopping season and was treated very poorly by a sales associate. The experience left me feeling confused and angry, and undervalued as a loyal customer. A few weeks later I returned to the store to share my experience with another store associate and I was treated with compassion and dignity. Sarah, the store associate more than made up for my poor experience, and even referred me to the store manager, Tera, who made sure I felt valued, supported and taken care of. Before I left the store both Sarah and Tera sent me off with a hug. I walked in not even knowing these people and left with a smile. As I prepare for my upcoming triathlons I know exactly what clothes I'll be sporting. read more

This store is great. I love the clothes and the material, but the sales reps are rude! I walked into the store and non of the sales reps said anything to me, but said hi to the two groups of people that were right next to me! The lady looked at the each time too and clearly saw me. I was ready to buy a whole workout outfit for my marathon but now I'm just going to lululemon! Such poor customer service! So disappointed! read more

Woman (large blonde woman with red lipstick) behind the counter was incredibly rude when I tried to return a gift. Made me feel like I was not welcome in the store and not to be trusted. Super unhelpful and rude. Will not be returning read more

Ok, it's a rainy Tuesday at 11:00. It's not like it was busy. I liked the pants on the mannequin and couldn't find them on the racks. I asked for help. The lady at the register very busily tried to hand me off to two other women who were also very busy being busy. No one knew where the pants were. Someone urgently asked me what size. The tone was like I was wasting her time. I said I wasn't sure - I need to try them on - probably a 4 or a 6. She thrusted a black 6 at me - again, I wanted blue. I said never mind and left. No one objected. If you had provided a modicum of quality customer service, I would have almost certainly spent at least a couple hundred dollars there today. Athleta. Your clothes are cute. There wasn't one rude sales person. There were three, each very clearly trying to hoist me off on the other. The reason to go to a bricks and mortar shop is to try clothes on and get help. If I wanted to browse by myself, I would do this online. I will either buy online - but not with you - or will go across the freeway to Lululemon. read more

I love the bigger and better store that replaced the location in Strawberry. The salespeople are very knowledgeable and helpful. I shop here all of the time! read more

I love this Athleta store! I'm addicted to Athleta clothes. The fabric are amazingly soft and feels nice on my skin and makes me look good too. The sales people are knowledgeable, helpful opinion and quite friendly. read more

Athleta Town Center at Corte Madera has it all, personalized customer service, an excellent product, and free yoga classes on Sunday mornings! Stephanie Phelan and Sara are great team leaders. The Yoga Garden in San Anselmo was chosen to be their studio of the month for February. Being the owner of the studio, I was not sure what to expect. All my teachers were treated with kindness and the highest of integrity and support. They loved teaching there and we look forward to coming back again. Thank you to all the staff/employees who took such good care of us. read more

Please sell swimsuits year round. Women swim year round so should be able to buy a swim suit year round. It is really frustrating that my husband has no problem finding a swimsuit yet for women, you have about a two month window to shop for swimsuits in a store where you can try them on. read more
