    Yes! I'll be looking like this in no time at all!
    Rich M.

    My small old school sporting good store that has weathered and outlasted all others over the decades. And I've been coming here since a wee young lad so like 4-5 of those decades! So many years of reliability for last minute fishing tackle and bait for me and friends. Hooks, frozen mackerels, and night crawlers have topped the list. You may not find it all here, but they do have online shopping too. Oh and if you sign up with your email, you will get daily deals and coupons that provide additional savings. You can search to see which locations have the items in stock, which is nice. Sometimes you get there and they don't have it..However, you'd be surprised though how much they pack into a small store, as normally the items are in stock at this location. The employees have been helpful to me, but most work part time, are a little distracted, and some won't have knowledge with specific questions on items. But they do try their best it seems. This best thing to me is this corporation seems to be one of the few that are not closing locations, because there is always a demand for sporting activities. They have the basics whether you are playing sports and/or hunting or fishing. Even just frisbee throwing! They constantly offer good deals on running and workout shoes and apparel. An incentive to stay active?! Get off that sofa, get out and do something kinda fun!

    Employees closing freaking early and wasting people's time!

    I am irritated. They "supposed" to CLOSE at 7:30PM & I arrived at 7 o'clock. I got off and the guy was just staring at us, then he did his hand gesture, saying go away????? Instead of saying I'm sorry we're closing early or idk something better, like good customer service. I freaking get it if you are leaving early but don't have to be rude about it. Also if that is the case why not change the freaking hours so people don't have to waste there time driving here for them not even to follow there hours. You can even zoom in my picture it was 7:05pm when I went back to my car!

    So I go in the store at 4:30 to buy 9 mm ammo. Obviously a manager and 1 other employees are behind the counter at the front door joking and clowning around with only one customer in the store. Finally we go over and ask the manager if she can help us in weapons department as she's standing there clearly flirting with 1 of her employees. She says she's the manager and she has to have coverage on the sales floor With no other customers inside other than myself and a female friend. Very horrible customer service. They continued their casual conversation as we walked out.

    I waited for 10 minutes for the manager to get out of the bathroom, and he never came. The two people up front couldn't return it.

That hybrid fitness bike is so worth it especially having my favorite color Rose Red - their color called "Orchid" , bike is so light and fast. I had to buy a kick stand since it doesn't come with the bike and it came loose , so I came today to have it fix and wanting to return the white lucky cat water bottle bike holder since I found the black one somewhere else where it's sold out. Chris acknowledge me since he was busy with a customer, apologizing that I had to wait and fixed the bike stand , took off the cat water bottle holder, put air in my tires, adjusted my seat, height and put the phone holder I never got originally? On that note... gotta give that credit to Kelly, who noticed I didn't have one and I told her I brought it up when I bought the bike Wednesday ? She even adjusted my light reflector to a smaller size to fit my handle bars. Didn't question me why I wanted to returned the white cat water bottle holder. (They were sold out of the black cat and found it somewhere else.) I had is the BEST customer service from both of them -Team work makes the dream work and those two need a raise! Thank you Chris and Kelly! You guys ROCK Can I get a "Amen?!"

    I am often at this REI trying to find outdoor gear and supplies…read more I think I have figured out the layout of this place now so I know which sections to head to for my needs. Just also know that all their bike stuff is located in another building, so dont be disappointed. Its cool to have another building just for bikes and bike related gear. This REI also has a lightly used section. I do go and check out whats on offer there, but so far haven't found anything that works. The thing with REI is that you have to want the thing thats carried in the store and nowadays with so many options, REI won't always carry I what I need specifically... Case in point, cavers need specialized equipment as our needs are different than say climbers or canyoneerers. Yes, some things might be shared, but in general, cavers have very special needs. But, today, when I came in here, I did find a quick link I needed so that worked out nicely. I am also a runner and finally decided I need a fanny pack (I hate how the 80s and 90s ruined this item for me), so I also got one that was small enough that would be perfect for my runs. Service is always great here, very friendly and staff always trying to help. I like also that this REI has a community board in the back and I like to check out whats on offer locally. Really wonderful to have this REI here in Kearny Mesa, super convenient and I can go Asian grocery shopping right after! Win win!

The second time, although I was hesitant to go because of my previous experience. I was helped by I think a manager and she did the same thing and said that they are not allowed to have people pick or touch the card packs. Wow! Are you serious? Then I just left the store after that. No wonder this store has 2 star average score. I've been to two other Dick's stores (Oceanside and El Cajon) both stores are the total opposite and allows their customers to pick items that they prefer. The the one in Oceanside was definitely had the nicest staff!

Today as I browsed around, I noted that the store was overwhelmed with World Cup gear which is cool, but the merchandise that I saw, including Jerseys, t-shirts, shorts, etc., was really crowded and disorganized and it looked like the Tasmanian Devil had whirled himself through it. The aisles were also impossibly packed with stuff, and it made passing other customers an obstacle course. Anyway, I also walked past the flip-flops with the intention of possibly purchasing a new pair for the summer. Leather Olukais were almost $90, simple Havaianas were over $40, and plastic Birks were $50. Needless to say, I didn't buy any... I'll stick with my beloved & comfy Reefs that I bought last summer. Finally, I walked over the water bottles... There was one type of Stanley straws available and they were $11.25. I looked online and the same straws were originally priced at $15 , but were on sale for $9. There were no Stanley "boots" in the store, so I couldn't get one of those. They had some made by another brand, and a few Owala ones, but none of the colors worked with my tumbler. So I just decided to get the straws. I asked the cashier if they honor online prices, and she said they did which I appreciated. She looked at my phone and said, "oh these other straws are the ones that are on sale." I said, "these straws (in my hand) are the only ones that you have in the store." And then she agreed to give me the discount... Keep in mind that the prices of the same item were different online vs. in store, and then the higher priced straws were discounted even further. Buyer beware... I left the store with my straws in hand, and a burning desire not to return to this store again, unless I absolutely have to, as the shopping experience was mediocre in my opinion. Mahalo!

Contacted Fitness Direct via telephone and my call was answered by Mark, who I thought was one of their sales personnel. He told me they didn't do business with Assault Fitness anymore (very understandable) and told me he had a better manual treadmill sold by Cascade Health & Fitness. I was hesitant at first but I looked them up and they were a very reputable company that makes very high quality equipment. The price was definitely over my budget but Mark told me he would work with me on that and would send me a quote later that day. He gives me his direct contact as well and was truly helpful and kind throughout the whole process. I get the quote later and Mark gave me a quote that surprisingly worked for my budget, also I find out he's the president of Fitness Direct. Him going out of his way to make a sale, go above and beyond for an individual with a garage gym, and not to a commercial customer with a high dollar ticket really earned my respect. It was a no brainer for me to buy from Fitness Direct. The treadmill took about two weeks to get delivered to me once I placed the order and was unfortunately 3 days late due to some miscommunication between Fitness Direct and Cascade. Once it came in though, I was surprised on how well the treadmill was built and how much smoother it ran than the Assault treadmills I've been familiar with. It was really easy to look over the mistake that led to a delay in delivery. I'm more than happy with my experience with Fitness Direct, Mark, and my new equipment. I HIGHLY recommend buying equipment from them!
