lululemon athletica

I love this store. Lululemon gear is my goto gear for workout gear that is fun, interesting and pretty. The store is on the small side, compared to the other Lululemon stores in Chicagoland. The staff here is really nice and helpful. I never felt pressured to buy anything. The best thing about Lululemon in general is their complimentary hemming of their clothing no matter where you bought it. The turn around is 4 business days so keep that in mind.

Blaring music so loud I could not hear questions answered by staff. Some staff are smiling and genuine others are irritated and distant. I love the quality of the clothing and can manage the prices but poor customer service and pounding music? I’ll shop somewhere else.

First — fantastic clothing. Very quality… VERY expensive. If you can get pass the price tag, you’ve got great workout clothing to last.
Second — most of the staff are very friendly, willing to help, very bubbly… most of the time you’ll have a pleasant experience at the Evanston store.
I say «most of the time» and «most staff» because of two things
1. Sometimes they are not very knowledgeable and will talk out of their a** to get you to buy… I needed pants for biking and the sales girl was trying to convince me that the logo on the pants I was looking at (which is the size of my pinky nail) would be enough reflectivity at night. What a load… that tiny logo is not reflective enough to keep me from being hit by a car. Whatever, I bought the pants anyways because I looked great in them.
2. As I was looking at said pants above, a different sales girl asked me what I was looking for — I said pants. She asks, «Have you tried on any of our pants before?» I said no. She asked, «Have you even shopped here before» (in the tone of voice that makes me feel about 2″ tall) — yes, yes I actually have shopped in here before and the premium price I pay for your clothing does not mean you can treat me like I’m an idiot and talk down to me.
Thanks Lululemon of Evanson, I’ll make sure to buy online from now on.

So as a male, a manly one at that, I was very resilient to break down and shop at lululemon. I mean its great goin there to check out the employees in their yoga pants but to wear it myself? After some soul searching I realized I’m not in Wisconsin anymore and bought a pair of pants. Best decision ever! I know have 2 pants and got a pair of khaki shorts today. The materials are great and everything fits like a glove, not the OJ glove either.

I LOVE this store!
It was my first timing shopping at a lululemon store. I was looking for yoga clothes and I am very impressed by the design, the quality, the fit, and the variety of clothes they have. The store is very neat and organized. I love how colorful some of the clothes are!
The sales staff are INCREDIBLY friendly! I don’t think I’ve EVER encountered nicer staff! I was greeted immediately after I walked in. The girl who greeted me proceeded to strike up a friendly conversation and asked me about the kind of yoga I did. There was another staff who took all my clothes to a dressing room so I wouldn’t have to carry all the hangers around while I shopped (I hate that!). She was also very friendly. The staff working the dressing room, Ginna (sp?), was constantly on hand for questions and other help. She also made conversation with me and was very cheerful. The staff working the cash register was very very nice too. She kindly answered all my questions.
Yes, the clothing here is very expensive. I bought four items and I was shocked to find out that my total came out to about $ 300. But once you see them and feel them in your hands and try them on, you can tell that they are quality clothes and will last a long time. I had gotten my paycheck and I wanted to splurge a little and treat myself! It was so worth it!
Overall, great place with an awesome selection and quality, SUPER friendly, helpful, and cheerful staff! I highly recommend this place and I plan to come back (once my wallet recovers: P)!

I visited lulu the day after xmas and there was a ton of stuff on sale, which made me happy! And thank god for the sale, or i would have not afforded half of the stuff i bought.
The store is well organized and clean. Also the staff was really helpful. Megan was helping me w sizes in the dressing room and gelped me find the right size and length. Also, they have FREE heming! Yes!

The saleswomen who helped me were incredibly friendly and helpful without being aggressive about it. They gave really relevant information at the right time without making me feel like I was being swooped in on from above.
When I told them I was beginner, they immediately directed me towards the beginner mat, which is also the cheapest. It was nice to not be upsold.
Their awesome service is funded by the super expensive clothes. I can’t comment on their quality because all I bought was a mat and strap, which totaled to $ 40. I don’t think that’s too bad.

As an avid yogi, I have been to nearly all the Lululemon stores in the Chicago area. Thus far, the Evanston store has been my favorite. In my opinion, the customer service is best here.
I have spent enough time and money at Lululemon to accept that the employees will follow you, hassle you with product information, and act overly peppy. That is what they are held accountable for and that is understandable. While this philosophy is practiced at the Evanston, the employees seem to be somewhat more genuine here. You can converse with them about topics that are not related to the store or yoga and expect to receive the same enthusiasm. While I do tend to live in Lulu’s yoga pants, I receive the same kindness from the employees if I come in wearing something that is not from the brand. Also, I have never witnessed any of the staff being rude to other customers. (Which I have seen at the Lincoln Park.)
In my opinion, this is the least crowded and most relaxed Lululemon. Although I do believe the quality of the apparel has been decreasing throughout the years, I chose to shop at the Evanston if I really need a cute new item for yoga class.

When I first visited Lululemon, I was left breathless — cute mid-​thigh running skirts, hot pink booty-​accenting yoga shorts, long-​sleeve crop tops that show off the toned tummy? With a selection like that, I felt as though they could see into my SOUL.
The only downside to Lululemon is the cost of all of the cute items you lust for the moment you walk into the store. If you buy two regular-​priced items, or example, your bill will likely be over $ 150.
Now, if you have the money to spend, it is more than worth it — the quality of the clothing is fantastic. It is comfortable, durable, and incredibly flattering to your form. The bras and workout tops, for example, tend to have a push-​up effect for us smaller-​busted girls, and the shorts and running skirts do lovely, lovely things to my bum.
As a broke college student, however, I opt for the small but awesome sale rack, which typically has items for 50% off. Here I’ve purchased running tights, shorts, a skirt, and tops for around $ 40 each — a real steal. I’m not sure if all Lululemon locations have a sale rack (the Oak Brook store, for instance, didn’t have one the last time I checked), but this one is definitely worth a look.
Also, the staff is incredibly friendly in a not-​too-​intrusive way. And as a very independent shopper, I really appreciate that.

I’ve got a question for all my fellow yoga enthusiast Unilocalers.. .In what universe is a pair of workout pants worth 98 dollars? In the lululemon world!
You know, when those ancient Indian ascetics fasted and renounced worldly attachments, I’m pretty sure they weren’t hoping for a future of 58 dollar seaweed fibered t-​shirts.. .
Scandalous mark-​ups aside, this store does have a few things going for it. First, a cheerful almost psychotically peppy staff. Second, a staff that seems to know their stuff. Third, and most importantly, hidden sales items.
If you look closely, you’ll find clearance items at substantial savings. Here’s a rhetorical question, how can something that was once priced at $ 50 be marked at $ 20 while preserving the seller’s bottom line?
What’s the secret of the schwartz? Merchandising!

I’ve been a fan of Lululemon for a few years. Glad to see there’s a shop for us super-​far northsiders!
Staff is very, very friendly.
As you know, the stuff is pretty pricey, but completely worth it. I managed to find a great yoga top that was marked down to nearly half-​price.
I’ve done one of their Saturday morning community classes, and it was great. Shockingly, there were only a few people there.
If you’re in the area, stop in and check it out!

Lululemon’s Evanston outpost is a great addition to their other Chicagoland stores. It’s selection is a little more limited than the Halstead shop (particularly for men’s wear), but they have all the basics.
I picked up a new pair of yoga shorts — while they’re a little pricey they meet my needs, breathable fabric that wicks away moisture, stretchy fabric, and comfortable seems. They’re well made and designed keep all my bits in one place too.
I also picked up a new mat made from rubber that’s super grippy, so I can stop slipping on that downward dog.
The staff is super friendly — almost cult-​friendly. But in a good way. They kept telling me about the free Saturday morning yoga class they offer.
I thoroughly enjoyed my shopping experience and will continue to use them for my yoga-​related needs!
