US Fitness Products has moved from Pineville to the Matthews area, the store is beautiful and has…read morean amazing selection of high-end fitness equipment. This store carries every brand that I have ever seen in a health club. Matrix, Precor, Life Fitness, Hoist, Inspire, Hammer Strength. Not only do they have all the brands, but they also offer delivery and installation along with service support after the sale. From a pricing perspective they are very competitive by offering the manufactures online sale price while offering a brick and mortar showroom to try the products out in person with staff on site that is extremely knowledgeable. Highly recommend checking them out even if you just like to geek out on equipment like me.

We were recommended to Randy Perkins at US Fitness in Pineville after traveling all over Charlotte and not finding what we wanted. We hit the bullseye with Randy and US Fitness Products. Randy was excellent in the store. He directed us to a few options on the equipment we wanted, and we subsequently purchased an elliptical, a bike, a weight machine, flooring for the space and some exercise balls, all perfect for the space in our home. Randy arranged to have the flooring installed and was great in working out a schedule on getting the gear transported and installed in our home. His install crew was top notch and friendly too. We are so happy with US Fitness Products and Randy's help, knowledge and friendly attitude and recommend him, his install crew, and his store highly to anyone.

My fiance was there today to exchange a hat that was never worn. The manager there was very rude…read moreand insisted on saying that since he didn't have a receipt there was nothing he could do. He then proceeded to point to their sign with a policy which clearly states that they except exchanges without such. Not only did my fiance feel like this was racist but they called security on him as well. We definitely do not appreciate this service and would like something done. You can definitely contact me at 828-800-1391. My name is Keke and my fiance is Sam. These managers need to learn these policies as this is not acceptable. We still had the hat the bag as well. Sometimes receipts are misplaced but that policy states enough. He needs to be terminated for not following company policy and miss representing Lids as a company.

Definitely the best choice in jerseys, t-shirts, hoodies, banners, hats and much more. There was a great representation of teams - not just local Charlotte and North Carolina teams but ones from further away. I was able to find *exactly* the jersey I wanted for the Boston Celtics! Prices are higher than I'd like them to be, but maybe that's just how much these things cost. If you're looking for sports team stuff and you don't have time to wait for the Internet to ship them to you, then Lids might be the best place for you to try.

I called early on Wed morning and asked about the SuperStroke Zynergy Pistol. They had it in stock so I when I showed up they were not to busy. I was assisted by Matt Smith who helped me pick out the right size grip, did a quick measure on the club length and said it would be a few minutes. I walked next door to Home Depot for a few minutes and by the time I got back it was all done. I asked Mr Smith about Vet discount, he said "I'm sorry, I apologize we don't have that" He was sincere about it and it wasn't the first time I heard that. It was a great experience and so I recommend these guys once again. You won't be disappointed!
