    Not the best area but the service is wonderful .... Greeting is everything. Great selections and stock. I don't go to big 5 often but this location is pretty good. Needed a day license for fishing (you get it at the cashier) got what I needed and was on my way.

    As we were walking around on our routine morning walk, I noticed there was a big 5 sporting goods store on Van Nuys blvd. I went in looking for dumbbells and came out with a bunch of goodies!:D They had a decent variety of dumbbells to choose from, different colors and sizes, and bought a couple to complement my work out. I also noticed they had a percussion gun which I've been meaning to buy and am beyond excited to give it a try!!!:D I hold all my stress in my shoulders and have heard amazing things about the percussion gun and releasing tight muscles. As I started shopping around, I saw the clearance rack and got a juicy couture sports bra on clearance. :-) I was happy to see that the store is nicely laid out and there's staff on the floor ready to help you. When it was time to check out Tracy, the cashier, helped us out and was super friendly. Overall great experience and I'll be back for all my sporting and workout goods . :)

    This Big 5 is always busy. We come to Big 5 like twice a month because all our kids are active in sports. They need more staff at this location to keep up with the customers because everyone is always busy. For all your sports needs and for great deals.

    This is false discount prices at Big 5 in Van Nuys! Beware of Manager Josh!

    Prices are not true don't even bother with their mark down prices. They show an additional saving of 20% and when you go to the cash register they don't give you the additional discount. Stay away from this store. Thumbs down to the manager named Josh he has the worse customer service attitude by far!!! He took my sign from my hands when I asked about the additional 20% discount and he said he will not honor the discount even if it's all over the store. I wish I could have given this store 0 stars.

    Been going here for years. Arturo helped me out and was very informative in my purchase of a new knife. Very professional and courteous.

    This store is a complete wreck. Boxes all over the floors everywhere. Merchandise on the floor.

    Once in a while they have good deals. The rest of the time, it's overpriced.

Pretty cool store and the older guy working the shoe department was VERY knowledgeable, it was very impressive. He made sure to measure your feet and gave you instructions on their little hiking/rock area to test your shoes so that you get the perfect fit. He also told us about the big upcoming sale that they have every year so my bf definitely took advantage of that! IG: @ammysalamii

    I purchased a pair of HOKA shoes from the REI store in Northridge. At the time of purchase, the…read morestaff strongly encouraged me to buy an REI membership and clearly told me that if the product had any problem within one year, I could return it for a full refund. After experiencing a problem with the shoes, I returned to the store expecting REI to honor what they promised. Instead, the store manager, Peter, refused to accept the return, despite the shoes having a legitimate issue and despite the membership guarantees that were explained to me at the time of sale. This experience makes it very clear that REI's "one-year membership guarantee" is misleading and unreliable. What was presented as a benefit turned out to be meaningless when I actually needed it. I feel deceived and misled. This kind of practice damages customer trust and reflects very poorly on store management. Be careful before purchasing an REI membership or relying on their return promises. Based on my experience, the guarantee is not honored consistently, and customers may end up feeling scammed.

Unfortunately, the experience fell far short of what I expected from a specialty running store. When I asked about the differences between two running shoes, I was told it was "personal preference" without any explanation of how the shoes actually differed. When I asked about two custom insole options, the employee simply read the product names back to me rather than explaining the features or benefits of each. What surprised me most was that the one topic every employee seemed eager to discuss was the VIP membership. I learned far more about the membership program than I did about the products I came in to buy. I also found several employees dismissive when I asked follow-up questions, which made the experience feel more frustrating than helpful. The entire reason I chose a specialty running store instead of shopping online was to get knowledgeable guidance. Instead, I left feeling like I had learned almost nothing and would have been better off doing my own research. Very disappointing experience.
