This place seems to have sprung up overnight. Located in premises that have housed countless…read morebusinesses over the last few years Sweatshop will be trying to catch the attention of Belfast shoppers. This is a specialist running shop that sells all sorts of running clothing, trainers and accessories. It seems pretty well stocked - with all major brands available. One thing I noticed they had which I liked was an in-store treadmill. I like the idea of slipping on a pair of trainers and trying them out before you buy them. Sort of like a test drive in a car - makes sense to do this really. I noticed that a lot of the stock had been discounted in the same style that Sports Direct discount - by that I mean that items are automatically applied with discount to appeal to bargain hunters. When I entered the shop the staff were keen to help me and I was asked on two occasions was I ok or 'just having a look'. If you're a keen runner get a jog on and head down to Sweatshop, you'll probably find something you need - remember the Belfast Marathon is only 3 short months away?!

Quality brands like brooks, asics, new balance, karrimor along with the usual Nike, adidas. The staff are trained to fit shoes for fallen arches, stability, neutral running etc. They have a decent range of outdoor trek shoes too. Lots of snazzy gym gear for both male/female.

No one spoke to me unless I spoke to them first. Staff made me feel a nuisance. The only exception was the young girl near the lift who helped me operate it. I try to shop locally to support real businesses but I'm going online now to buy a sports bag.

Packed full of sports clothing and some sports equipment. Over packed in my opinion, like many…read moreclothing stores. Hardly room to get around. That aside, they do fit in a huge amount of product. Also, casual clothing, jeans, polo shirts etc. The staff are always polite and helpful. Unfortunately they did not have the item that I was looking for - an Arsenal polo shirt (definitely NOT for myself I hasten to add!), which was advertised as being in-store on their online site. Pricewise, it is usually great value for money and fantastic if you have a gaggle of children to clothe. I ended up buying an arsenal mug (again NOT for myself) and was unfortunate to end up at the till behind the customer who appeared to be buying every item in the shop! There is ample parking outside, being part of the Springhill retail park, and is very easily accessible coming off the Bangor bound carraigeway from Belfast.

It's a well laid out store covering two floors and I spotted the 'Go Walk Memory Foam Sketchers' I wanted straight away. A helpful Sales Assistant was available immediately to get my size so I could try them on and she took my shoes to the counter for me so I could purchase them. With a 30% off sale, speedy service, a great selection of items and because I was literally in and out of the store within 10 minutes, I have to classify my shopping experience in Sports Direct as perfect.

It annoys me that you can never reach the things on the high rails. There are also not many staff around to help with this or shoe sizes etc. Also the changing rooms are usually locked. On top of that a lot of the stuff is my on the correct rails. So you have to hoke lots.

I got my tennis racket restrung and it was done very badly, not by the owner who usually does restringing, but by the son. I asked for it to be redone and they are expecting me to pay again. This shop does not respect consumer rights, they would rather lose a customer rather giving a refund where it is necessary. Do not get your tennis racket restrung by Gotto sports.

Due to its size and locality to schools, it is the go to shop for some of the kit school kids will need for the upcoming year. As well as catering to the local's needs, it contains all the products needed for the enthusiast of almost every sport I can name and I watch a lot of sports, just ask the groove on sofa! The shop's staff are friendly and always willing to help. A lot of them are students studying sports related subjects so are able to answer any questions you may have. My experience of this shop was a panic trip to buy a pair of football boots for a charity competition I was competing in. Despite my frantic sense of urgency the shop assistant was very helpful and sought out the perfect boots for what I needed instead of just trying to get me to pay for the most expensive pair in the shop. This is something you don't often get in the big chain stores in the city centre, which is what makes All Sports great.

There's also an information board displaying lessons and other invaluable information for those who of me Conor K disposition.
