I am a big fan of Sweaty Betty and I've been donating my wages here for a few weeks now…read more Firstly, I was on the hunt for a long sleeved, bright coloured running top. One of my fellow running clubbers had purchased one here last year so I went hunting and found myself a suitably neon pink version which washes great. Then I found out about the free yoga class every week which I've been attending and loving so then I've bought new yoga pants and a new vest which is super long. Both wash great. The yoga classes are great - Jenna from Meadowlark takes them and is lovely, correcting my alignment and being very encouraging to everyone at the class. I am now a convert to SB! So why not 5*? The sizing, plain and simple. Cut pretty neat - curves and breasts then pretty much in XL category instead of normal M which is never great. I also didn't bother to come here for a yoga bra, preferring to try (and succeed) at Lululemon. So I do love SB, staff are great, I love the yoga class and I'll buy more stuff here (their long body length for stuff is great for me) but the sizing means it is a 4* review.

If I could get away with wearing Sweaty Betty clothing to everywhere including work I probably…read morewould. I generally I wear Sweaty Betty whenever I'm exercising and increasingly when I'm not. The clothing is good quality and comes in great bright colours that generally match each other well. The leggings don't go see through when you bend over and the vest tops are long line so don't expose your middle when you do downward dog. On the one occasion I did have an issue with an item it was exchanged without question. The store is friendly and the staff are welcoming with great advice on sizing and suitability of items for different activities. The sizing can be a bit inconsistent with some styles needing to size down from normal. They hold weekly free yoga and Pilates classes in the store that are booked via the website, which are taught by great teachers with a great supportive feel to the classes. It can be a little expensive for sports wear but it lasts really well and they have sales with up to 50% off at least four times a year. If you are a qualified fitness instructor then you can get an extra 20% off including in the sale, you just need to show proof of your qualifications in store for it to be added to the system.

We managed to pick out things that my Dad would use and he loved them If I ever go skiing I'm definitely coming here, they are so lovely!

At the…read moremoment it is sale time, but nevertheless you can get a decent fleece for £5 and let's be honest you're not going to beat that price very easily. Heading further into the shop you'll discover that it is a very credible camping goods supplier and this good value does not infer poor quality with many of the well known brands on offer here. Generally if you want a camping items you'll be likely to find it here and thanks to the helpful staff, finding anything shouldn't be much of a problem.

Great Service. My feet were killing me and I desperately need new walking shoes. A young woman…read morefrom New Zealand was working in the footwear department and used 3D laser scanner to find the perfect walking shoes. I was visiting from the U.S., and the shoes I chose to bring with me did not offer much support. She determined that I have incredibly high arches, and one foot was a bit larger than the other. I was a mess. She found the perfect shoes and it's now three months later and I'm back in the U.S. putting many new pain free miles on the new walking shoes. Thank you. Wish I remembered your name so I could give your credit.

I'm not a shoe person at all but I think I'm in love with this store!…read more I'll get it out of the way and say it's one of the more expensive shoe shops on Princes' Street! However, the quality written all over the shoes speaks for itself. You find men's and women's shoes, sandals, boots, pumps, brogues... If you're ever for a loss at what to at around midnight, head over to the store where the shoes at wonderfully lit in all their glory for some late night window shopping. The staff (meaning the one lady I spoke to a few weeks ago) is extremely friendly, and the store is so large and glitzy you might be tempted to buy something you may not really be able to afford!

The handbags are simply beautiful too, with clean lines and sumptuous leather quilting which rivals any Mulberry bag I have ever seen. The bags range from around £100-£300, depending on size, but my favourite is the Quilt Trim Shopper at £145, not too bad at all for a bag which will grow old with you! Well worth saving up your pennies for!

While the self-checkout was a bit of a hassle, one of the staff members--Annan, I believe--was absolutely fantastic.

What a gem of a person--he really made my day!

They have some really cool and quirky t-shirts which aren't too pricey. The staff are as you would expect, the kind of kooky and trendy peeps you would find in Topshop or Urban Outfitters. They were very nice though and didn't mind checking a size for my boyfriend in a t-shirt, even offering to ring the other store on Victoria Street.
