“I own a leg press machine - purchased a few years ago. Recently I needed it moved to a different room and it had to be dismantled in order to do so. The young man that came was able to move it carefully, quickly and neatly and he was extremely pleasant. The price seemed reasonable to me for the amount of work involved and for the technician to come to my home. The work was completed quite quickly and I am so happy to have my machine out of the living room and in a dedicated exercise space! I highly recommend this company.”

1345 4th St, San Rafael“This store has been supplying sporting needs for decades. I've worked with them as a coach for years. They also are the only retailers for field hockey equipment in Marin! Friendly, helpful, and locally owned!”
“Great surf shop, with everything you need and beyond, and the service is impeccable. Cody is the best! He helped me pick a surfboard, after listening to my endless questions. Thank you Cody!”
“Update to previous review. While I did have a hard time getting someone on the phone for a sign up issue online. Once I found an email address I got a response within 30 mins. Which was shockingly quick and fabulous. Issues were resolved and everything was taken care of promptly.”

52 Wharf Rd, Bolinas“Super cool shop with a lot of unique t-shirts at amazingly reasonable prices. Unfortunately the last few times I've been in Bolinas (afternoons early in the week) the shop has been closed.”
“The best local place for anything you'd need for golf. Club fittings on the sim, new and used clubs, apparel, accessories, regrips, and a ton more. It's the go-to golf shop.”
“There is nobody like Bobby and he is kind and patient. If you want uniqueness , no hard sell, and genuine passion to witness a young man who loves what he does and is doing what he loves, come here. I drove here from San Francisco and have never seen the depth, breadth and range -- you can see it, touch it and feel it. He comes from a family of collectors, so it's part of his foundation and clearly, how he operates.”
“positive running environment. I received an invitation through Strava for a local run in Mill valley and decided to go and check it out. everyone in the store was nice and helpful plus the running group was amazing. I would recommend visiting the store and participating in their events. thank you SFRC”
“Largest selection in the area, can serve most serious surf needs. Friendly employees who are very helpful with wetsuits. I really like one of the owners. Also best selection of clothes at a surf shop in the area, but also maybe period. It was initially a very highly curated selection when it was just in the little front space. Now there are way more options which to me leaves it feeling a bit watered down but for most people it's probably nice to have more options. It's cool to be able to walk in and have a high likelihood of being able to score my mom the exact pair or flip flops I have in mind, which wouldn't have been possible if they hadn't filled in the selection with the additional options. Also the restaurant is good. It kind of feels like they've managed to create a scene from nothing in the area, impressive little community they've built.”
“The absolute best place in Marin County to get fresh top quality in-the-water local dungeness crabs. You can also see Emma the egret in action. Now is the season.”

110 Nellen Ave, Corte Madera“I came in to buy Nike running glasses, and I'm really happy with my purchase. I get it, people would rather buy online these days. But I'm surprised by how often I need to stop in and buy something here. I don't shop a lot but when I do I tend to buy athletic items. I'll be coming back.”

5800 Northgate Dr, San Rafael“Looking for Pro-club t-shirts and cargo pants? Look no further than this gem of a store! They have an amazing variety of colors and sizes, both short and long sleeves. While their business has been slow, the owner Ji is incredibly welcoming and friendly. Despite their reduced hours, Ji goes above and beyond to accommodate her customers. In fact, she's even given out her phone number and encouraged customers to text her in advance so she can open the store earlier if needed, as she's the only person who works there. Additionally, Ji does custom work in-store, which is a huge bonus. Overall, I highly recommend this store for its great selection and excellent customer service.”
“I walked in here today to buy a pair of running shoes for my hoped for marathon adventure next December. Owner, Peter, helped me and he immediately and correctly assessed what I needed, especially after looking at my flat feet. Been decades since I’ve run a marathon so I’ve got a bunch of work to do and I am so looking forward to it. I was so delighted to find this established, “old-school“ running shoe store that not only had the amazing selection of shoes, but the experienced staff of athletes to advise me.Feeling great today now that I came home with the “right” shoes and advice.”
“I had a great experience taking hot pilates with Kelly C! She was awesome. Very friendly, welcoming, the class was really good! Perfect heat! The studio was clean and Kelly was cleaning really thoroughly after class! I met some nice people, which was a bonus! Studio was in a good location with plenty of parking.”
“This is a great little shop for all your rugby needs. The service is excellent and I was able to get a nice pair of cleats in size 14 which is usually hard to find.”

I recently worked with their team to design custom bags for my company's annual conference. The experience was seamless from start to finish. Their account managers are responsive, creative and provide options at multiple price points. The quality of the final product exceeded my expectations. Our custom bags were ready on time and looked extremely professional. O'Neil's expertise and attention to detail ensured our conference was a success. If you're looking for a trusted partner for custom embroidery, screen printing or promotional products, look no further than O'Neil Custom Bags & Embroidery. They will not disappoint!”

Ctr, #213, Corte Madera“Dave, Joshua, Jess, & Danny helped me out a lot! I'm bikepacking along the Pacific Coast Trail. Had to get my bicycle maintenanced. Dave & Joshua replaced my casette & chain as well as inspected the bike & filled the tires.
Danny went out of his way to help me get some new clothes & didn't pressure me into buying anything. He made sure I got what I liked & answered all my questions patiently. Really satisfied with this REI staff. I signed up for a lifetime membership to REI as well!”

1620 Redwood Hwy, Corte Madera“Posting this a bit late but needed to give a shout out to Ruby and Deirdra! I started a new job that requires a lot of travel and needed a new travel bag for my computer, notebooks, etc, etc that needs to go everywhere with me. I had an old Lululemon bag that I've been holding onto for years that is FANTASTIC, but had a broken zipper. Had plenty of people say tell Lulu and they'll replace it, but was a no go when it broke. Went Had a couple of items that had issues (broken zipper, tiny holes in weird places) that I had friends and family say tell Lululemon and they'll replace it, but was always a no go, which everyone I told (who shops at Lululemon) were always very surprised about. So on a whim I brought the bag I had with the broken zipper into the Corte Madera store to see if they could just replace the zipper (since they already do alterations) and ended up talking with Ruby. She left to ask someone (since she's a new salesperson, which I didn't know at the time) and she came back with "unfortunately they said we can't". Told her I wasn't surprised and told her about my experiences asking about some of the issues I've had with items over the years (3 or 4 times over the past 15-20 years) and never being able to get any help or replacements for anything. She said hold on, and left to speak with her manager (Deirdra). When she came back she said they couldn't fix or exchange my bag since they no longer had it in stock, but they'd be happy to replace it with a different bag, free of charge. She also said Deirdra said to bring in the other items I had that have issues and that they'd address them. I was kinda floored because I've always gotten a "sorry, we can't help you" response, so I didn't expect anything, but was very touched by them both going out of their way to help me, and they were both so extremely (and genuinely) sweet about everything... They both said they hated to hear I had bad experiences and wanted to fix that! Honestly, just them trying to help was enough, but they both went the extra mile (Ruby being brand new was extra impressive), and I'll be coming back to this location (which is WAY out of my way) because of that! Thank you both!! ~ Emily”
“Needed some gun solvent and was able to find what i needed. Selection was good but was hoping to find more of a larger selection. The store itself had a large inventory and the staff were friendly.”

500 Alameda del Prado, Novato“We have a very limited lection and Marin county however, help me very knowledgeable and incredibly helpful. The only reason I did not give a five star rating was solely price due to cost.”
“I worked as a massage therapist next door to Tennis Nation and know the staff well and have even provided them with therapeutic massage. The nicest people ever who carry the most current tennis gear & apparel. Very knowledgeable - they are avid tennis players themselves! They demo the products themselves so are able to provide honest first hand experience of them!”
“Just got GREAT deals-tall Inlet jacket, (dress blue), flurry turtleneck (white)...Illume SPF top (gray heather), got to get summer wardrobe ready...I'm a coffee shopper, cannot resist app shopping while having AN coffee. I am addicted to Athleta!!! They are the best - at 5'11" there are very few options - although I have to order talls online, I can still try most things on in the store & can figure out what I want to order. Athleta carries petites & plus sizes, and has lots of sales (check out the website, or the rack at that back of the store). Athleta just sent me a $50 gift card - I like the perks! I'll try out their online exercise & wellness classes next.”
“I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of merchandise and great prices. The staff has been wonderful on my recent visits- including a return which was easy. 5 stars especially to the staff, super helpful and care enough to listen and offer suggestions. Much appreciate your cheerful holiday spirit.”
“Bought my Ebike here. They build it and had it ready for pickup. Also, had issues with the back tire that they were able to resolve. Would recommend friends and family to buy a bike here ?”
