Sports Authority

Great selection of products and we went to customer service for a return and mike was great!

I really like this place but the customer service it’s a little too slow and they’re not knowledgeable. I like to come and buy my gym gear because they carry the brands that I like.

This is one of the worst Sports Authority’s I’ve ever been to what is it with this one it’s very unorganized and the staff is extremely rude

Went Friday ¹¹⁄₁₆ to pay for a basketball hoop for my kids since the pre Black Friday sale ended that Saturday. Regular price goes for $ 499 and pre sale price was $ 174…it was totally worth it. When I went to pay for my merchandise, my debit card was declined. after contacting the bank and having fraudulent activity I left with no purchase, but was told I can pay for it the following day. One thing lead to another and I was not able to go Saturday when the sale ended. I took my chances and went Sunday. The guys that attended me (Harvey and can’t remember the name of the other guy) were not there so I explained my situation to the manager and I cannot express how helpful he was. He got the district mangers approval to be able to sell me the basketball hoop at the sale price. I paid for it and was able to pick it up yesterday ¹¹⁄₂₃. Awesome customer service! The manger was nice. I will be retuning to get his name and will update my review.

Needed water shoes for an upcoming trip — on sale for $ 7.99 here. Score!

terrible service.

The best thing about Sports Authority are the fat people. They walk around in there like they’re ashamed of what they’re doing, like they’re going against the fat union and they’re afraid there will be retribution. They hide and masquerade their face sort of the same way I would expect Ryan Seacrest to hide his face whenever he’s cruising for anonymous gay sex.
Fear not, fatties, you have nothing to be ashamed of. How can you possibly feel embarrassed about going to a place where you’re telling everyone, «hey, look, I wanna be fit and healthy from now on.» Anyone who makes fun of a fat guy jogging or a chubby girl on a treadmill is a douche. Or, like homophobes, secretly wants to get down with a muffin top. Damn, I can’t remember what it was called, but like half a year ago I stumbled upon a web site that had really fat chicks eating food naked. There’s a fetish for everything and the internet provides.
Sports Authority has, as you would expect, a lot of sporting gear. The most oft traveled sections include basketball, shoes, golf, clothing, and fitness. I passed by the hockey section and found tumbleweed, a body that’s been decomposing for 3 months, and a dying star made of pure diamonds that scientists dated at 4.3 billion years old. It’s clear no one visits that section, and I’m pretty sure all the hockey equipment there is really just a cardboard cutout and no one has called them out on it yet.
I always buy my sneakers from them. My other options are Foot Locker and Athlete’s Foot. Foot Locker has the most pretentious service employees I’ve ever seen. I once walked in there to buy a pair and some 30-​something guy comes up to me and asks if I need any help. I said I’d like a good pair of running shoes and the fuckbag scoffs and says, «I can tell, when was the last time you got yourself a new pair of kicks?» You motherfucker. If I don’t question what life choices brought you to the point where you’re selling sneakers in a mall next to a Mrs. Fields cookie shop, why question my purchasing habits? The Athlete’s Foot I’ve never even set foot in. What kind of name is that? It’s like calling a condom company Herpes. I appreciate the pun, but dude, seriously? This is how the exchange would’ve happened if I was the CEO:
Employee: I know you’re looking to change the name from SHOE STORE to something more elaborate now that we’re no longer a tiny shop on Flagler and 87^th next to Publix.
Me: Indeed. Have any ideas?
Employee: I do! How about we call it, «The Athlete’s Foot» because it’s a shoe store where we sell athletic shoes and it has the added bonus of being named after a fungus that specifically tends to affect those with an athletic lifestyle!
Me: You’re fired.
Sports Authority also usually has some hot chicks in workout tights looking around for those useless 2lb weights they love to do aerobics with as they cling to the false notion that if they swing what amounts to the weight of a water bottle they’ll «tone» their muscles. Oh you poor, naïve ladies. I know someone, I won’t name names, that thinks she can lose the fat around her hips by smacking them against a wall a couple of times per day.
If you’ve never been, you should check Sports Authority out. Maybe save it for January so you can buy all the fitness equipment you’ll abandon in a month after you forget all about your new year’s resolution and you go back to double fisting [the PG kind] KFC Double Downs like the fucking American you are.
SEACREST OUT!
PEOPLE WHO WOULD ENJOY IT: Fitness fanatics; Sports Authority stockholders; Bear Grylls.
PEOPLE WHO WOULD NOT ENJOY IT: Smart people that buy all their shit cheaper on the internet.

I must say, after having the worst experience at the Dolphin Mall location (yea it was TERRIBLE) we decided that no matter what we will come here, even though it is slightly out of the way compared to the other location as we usually hit Nike at Dolphin also.
The store, like all the others I have been in is huge. It has plenty of clothing, shoes and sports gear. It has good prices although not always the best.
I was moseying around the store and then went over to the ‘toy’ portion of it. My favorite part, it really is like being a child in a toy store. BOSU balls, Kettle bells, Yoga Mats, Punching Bags, Foam Rollers! I definitely had to walk out with the Roller, deep tissue massage here I come!
