“The guys at Route 12 Artic are great. They've made a few repairs on my older Artic wheeler for me on a couple of different occasions. Each time they have been knowledgeable, helpful and reliable. They are my first choice for repairs.”
“Wonderful patience and attention to detail throughout the scanning, fitting, and sizing experience. I feel confident in my choice and ready to hit the road. Thanks gang!”

406 N Milwaukee Ave, Libertyville“I have had the pleasure of visiting 847RC several times over the past month or so and I had to share what a special place the team over there have curated. When I first began my running journey in 2008 there were only proper running stores in Downtown Chicago where I could get a proper fitting for my stride. Those days are so long gone thanks to 847RC! ??♀️Now, I can simply call upon my friends down the street at 847 to help me feel my best while I pound the pavement. I know exactly where to go when I need to get fitted, vent about my tight IT bands, stock up on goo gels, and be a part of a running community that truly treats me like family every time I walk (or run ?) in the door. Not to mention, they carry all the high-performing gear brands at friendly prices for those of us who know that what you wear and how you feel on your runs make all the difference!Whether you’re just getting started on the path or are a seasoned Ultra runner, 847 has your back (and feet!). Stop in and experience the shop for yourself today! Lake County is so lucky to have you, 847RC! Thank you! ??♀️”
“Shopping here is always a breeze! The owner Mark is always ready to help, and it's an easy process to get fitted for the right shoe! Plus I love shopping at a small business knowing my money is staying in the community! Highly recommend Runner's High 'N Tri for walkers, runners, and anything in between!”

701 N Milwaukee Ave Ste 354, Vernon Hills“If you're in the market for any home fitness equipment, you owe it to yourself to contact Jonathan at Top Fitness (Vernon Hills)! I had the absolute best experience working with Jonathan and ultimately purchased a new Precor elliptical. Jonathan was incredibly patient and courteous - I asked sooooo many questions about the machine features, costs, warranties, support, etc. He answered all of them quickly and thoroughly without pressuring me into any decisions - just providing me with information I needed to make the best decision for me. I was initially planning to fix my existing elliptical, but with zero pressure from Jonathan, I very excitedly chose to buy a very good new one! Couldn't be more happy and appreciative of Jonathan's help.”
“I always take my tennis rackets here to be strung. Quick turnaround and friendly service. Mike is awesome. Super friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. I'm friends with a few other players that bring their rackets here and all comment on what an asset Mike is to this place.”
“This place is just great. We’ve recently found them and have been there twice. Great selection of anything you need. Just picked up a great deal on some indoor shoes and daughter found a steal on some cleats. Super helpful and friendly.”
“Hands down some of the nicest people you’ll ever meet in this line of work. Amazing pros and home to the legendary Racket man. Guaranteed to walk out happier than when you walk in. Fresh hot coffee always brewing and the facility is spotless and clean.”

610 Central Ave Ste 169, Highland Park“The staff member I worked with was very knowledgeable and patient. He worked with me until I found the perfect style, size, and fit for my foot. It was a very relaxing and low pressure experience. Highly recommended!”
“Rainbo is the best place in Chicagoland for all things skating. Their expertise in skates are second to none. I highly recommend you call and make an appointment if you need any maintenance or need to order skates. They are extremely busy because of the high caliber of service, and you may not be able to "drop in"”
“The new fitness manager has done wonders with this gym. Theres more space, every necessary piece of free weight and machine equipment, knowledgable staff, and lot of class offerring...a great local gym.”
“Greatest source of sports clothing and attire for the local fan in all of Us. Shop no other!Alex and Staff are Courteous, Attentive and Always helpful and knowledgeable. The very best in products and selection.”
“Excellent. Got skates sharpened and picked up lace tightening hook. Staff was busy but attended my request within 2 minutes. They gave an accurate estimate of when my sharpened skate blades would be ready. I can back in about two hours and they were indeed ready. Very inexpensive rate for the sharpening.”
“Great store, even more, great people. Everyone is personable, professional, and invested in all the Peloton products. We’ve purchased a Bike+, Tread, and Guide from this location. They’ve also got apparel which is a great gift for those folks in your life who Peloton.”
“Went in looking for a bike/recommendations on my needs. Staff in the bike department was very helpful, asked many questions about what I'd be using it for and how often and made suggestions based on my needs. I will say they are fairly expensive but you get what you pay for.”
“I exchanged a pair of shoes for a few items and when I left the total seemed off. I went back in and asked for help and the ladies behind the desk were very nice to me even though I was making a fuss over $10 (times are tough). The tax wasn’t adding up. I really appreciated that they tried to help me and were so kind. We need more people like that in the world.”
“Brought my son to the Home Ice Advantage training class and Troy was fantastic. He's a natural at what he does, super friendly yet focused. The training was engaging, and my son had a blast during the stick and puck session. The facility is spot clean and easy to get to. We're really happy we found this place and will definitely be back for more training.”
“If you’re a hockey newbie or event pro, this is the place to go!I signed up to take adult beginner hockey lessons with my partner. Liam helped us for almost two hours helping us get everything you could possible need to play the game while also actively helping us look for the most affordable options so we weren’t breaking the bank. He also helped us understand what the purpose and how to put the gear all on.I’m so glad he was there to be incredibly helpful and now I feel fully prepared to take my first ever hockey class!”

1975 E Rand Rd, Arlington Heights“Arthur and his whole team are absolutely the best. They will spend whatever time it takes to help you. He outfitted my wife and 2 kids 4 years ago and ever since and never had an issue and I’ll go nowhere else. When you are maybe a few miles up, maybe in heavy snow, nobody around, going 5 mph or 50+ mph, you need the right gear and perfectly fit and adjusted. Ski Haus will make sure you’re set.”
“Super knowledgeable and cared about running and ensuring we got the correct running shoes. Took a look at my sons balance and stride and listened to his concerns and picked out the shoes he should try. The knowledge itself was 5 stars, but the sincerity and friendly attitude made this a great place and a great small business to support. We were visiting, but if they were in Virginia I would never go anywhere else.”
“Scott and Keith were awesome. Great customer service and took great care of me. I had an issue with my zipper and they hooked me up with a new jacket. Unbelievable. Great guys and great clothes. Highly recommended”
10AM - 9PM
888 Willow Rd, Northbrook“This is a nice and clean REI location with a great selection of products and in stock inventory.
Every time I'm here, I'm usually able to find what I need, and even if I don't buy anything, it's fun to just look around at all the stuff they sell.
The staff seems friendly and offers help while I'm browsing or want to try on any clothing. I've never had even a remotely negative interaction with anyone working here in the past 5 years shopping at this or any other REI stores.
Keep up the great work!”
10AM - 4PM
310 N Happ Rd Ste#121, Northfield“Lovely place. Don't let the store size fooled you, it has everything you would possibly need at a very reasonable price.Restring process was quick (2 days turnaround) and easy and in speaking with the owner, the owner really knows the stuff. Will be back again in the future for sure.”
“This place is wonderful. I got my throwback Barry Sanders 1999 jersey here and it was amazing. The staff was so nice and helped me find the jersey I was looking for in an instant. If I could put a six star rating I would.”
“This is an amazing place to go if you're a sports fan. It has gear from jerseys to hats to shorts and more. I recently got a jersey that I wanted to exchange. The return was so easy, and I got a gift card with store credit. I can go back any time to redeem that credit. Their card selection is amazing too. It has a lot of cards and packs for cheap prices. It has baseball, hockey, football, basketball, and even Pokémon cards. The one bad thing is the sizes. They barely have any kids stuff and it is sort chaotic to find something.”
“Incredible family owned business that makes uniforms, school swag or even your next family vacation shirt! Today, my focus was gearing up the family for the IA Hawkeyes big ten game tonight! And boy did Sports 11 deliver. They were able to get everything printed fast and the quality of the logos looks like it will last a very long time! They also have nice selection of school spirit hoodies, sherpas, you name it! Def want to go back and grab a Sherpa”
“Bought basketball shoes here yesterday. They didn’t have my size in the shoe I wanted. Ben took the time to go to the front of the store and check the size on the mannequin shoes. Turned out to be my size and I bought them. That customer service was above and beyond! Thanks Ben!”
“Came in to exchange an online purchase for a different size. They were so helpful. Got me exactly what I wanted, and I was in and out in just a few minutes.The clothes are always fantastic. I can't buy leggings anywhere else anymore. I've been ruined.”
“The staff was knowledgeable and friendly. Dane did a great job walking me through the Fleet Feet foot scan and a number of shoe options based on my current training needs.”
