Lululemon Athletica

I always shop at Lulu and am so happy to have one so closeby now. But, the best part is that the staff are actually really nice and friendly here — so many Lulu stores back home in the states the associates aren’t friendly, sometimes they won’t even say hello or ask you if you’re after anything.
I had gone in for a quick browse and to actually see if they had info about nearby yoga studios since I was new to the city and one of the guys came over and helped suggest yoga studios for me, looked for their little fliers and if they didn’t have them he wrote down a list of places for me to look into — and told me that they do the free yoga classes at their location twice a week as well.
I’ll definitely be back in this store if I need some new yoga gear, and to check out their sale stuff — they had quite a bit on sale when I was there. Hopefully I’ll make it over to try out a class sometime soon as well!

I adore lululemon! I prefer to come to this store than Carindale as I know too many people who work at Carindale :)
The clothes are absolutely gorgeous and are quite a generous fit. The change rooms are huge and the staff are incredibly friendly and offer styling advice if you are not sure what goes with what. They do make suggestions of accessories but it is not a hard sell — more of a «we have a headband that goes with that shirt». One of the things that I like about lululemon is that they also sell menswear — but I am still trying to get my man in there to try on anything!
As the store is Canadian, the sizing is also Canadian. You will need to minus 2 dress sizes to get the right fit (e.g. If you are a size 14 top, you will be a size 10 in the store)
Yes — the clothes are pricey, but I believe firmly in you get what you pay for. I buy a lot of basic pieces that I can mix and match that will take me from the gym to a casual lunch with a change of top.
They also have free yoga classes in store (but I am not sure when) but I have not tried them yet.
If you are looking for workout /​dance /​gym /​sporty clothes, then Lululemon is the place to go.
It looses one star only because the parking in James Street is awful (but I think everyone knows that!).

My favourite place to buy work out clothes! Always a great fit.
I have been a lululemon fan for years and the James street store is great. While the price tag may look like its expensive I have pants and tops that are over 5 years old and still look brand new. The staff are all friendly and helpful. And don’t forget the weekly free yoga classes. Make sure to get there early they can get crowded on Sunday mornings. They have a run club on Wednesday I have wanted to try, maybe this week.

There is nothing more intimidating to me
than walking past a store stuffed with yoga mats
and exercise costumes. (I instinctively suck in the gut
when I go into these types of places.)
Lululemon is one such athletic store that is
tucked away on James St, plain and boring
I hardly felt inspired to salute to the sun or
jog ’round the block.
This store sells sports bras, tanks, tops,
shorts, jackets, hoodies and various athletic paraphernalia.
(Essentially every thing you might need for yoga and exercisings.)
But despite the range on hand,
the clothes here are pretty plain for the price tags I saw.
While the location and sales staff are lovely, I’d go elsewhere
for my jogging garments.
