lululemon athletica

First to start off I love these workout clothes and will always buy them but was so turned off by this locations awful customer service.
Staff is super stuffy. Like similar reviews below I think they are small town girls that think MKE is a glam big city, it is not. You live in Milwaukee!
Half of staff is super nice and other half is just straight rude. I have been to Lulu Lemons in Chicago, Miami, the list goes on and I always had a great experience. But this location in Milwaukee, Wi are pretentious? LOL too funny
Also a worker there was wearing a cartoon tank top with her stomach out, no bra, and sporting hard nips. So gross.

Easy on street parking nearby, the staff were very friendly and helpful, and there was a great sale selection! Also, I didn’t know this before, but they have complimentary hemming! I didn’t take advantage of it because I wanted to take the pants home right away today, but for someone with short legs, this is great news and I will definitely use this feature someday!

The staff worked with a man of, admittedly, stout proportions. 6’2″ 240lbs is not a size I had expected to work with Lululemon. Wrong. Wrong on every level. As Comic Book Guy from the Simpsons said «I have never known such comfort». I will be back.

I yoga. So I lululemon.
It’s natural and wonderful relationship.
Quick lesson: Lu-​Lu-​Lemon. As in the fruit. Like… when life hands you lemons, make them lulu. Got it? Good.
Hands down, their tops are my favorite tops in the yoga game. Yes, they are pricey, but they are very worth it if you a regular practitioner. They breathe, they keep all things in place and — heck, I’ll say it — they are super cute.
My favorite pants also come from this fine establishment, but there are comparable versions out there.
But most importantly? Get The Mat. Yep — THE mat. There are none like it — and the colors are real pretty.
Functional and pretty. What’s not to like?
Onto the establishment itself. The Third Ward is one of my favorite: everything is well organized and the staff very friendly, helpful and encouraging (it’s TOTALLY okay to spend $ 100 on those pants!). I also really dig that they support the local athletic community with free classes, public workshops and ambassadors. Awesome.
HINT (which I buried at the bottom because it’s a golden nugget): There’s a sales rack. YUP. Back of the store near the dressing rooms. Check it.

Good central location, pretty good inventory, beautiful big store. But very very frustrating that their own website has their open times miss labeled. Drove a long way to get here by the posted 9:30 Saturday open time but upon arrival It was found that they actually open at 10am. I called and was told to look at the door. Well that would only be helpful if I could see the door before I left home. Silly me for thinking the website would be a good place to look for their hours of operation. Other than them being a bit disorganized and a bit sassy telling me to look at time posted on the door, it’s decent lulu location. I give it 3 stars for the location but took away two stars for customer service issues.

Woah– all of the employees here have a major attitude problem. I get it, you work at lululemon, the store that sells overpriced spandex and has a thing against larger women. I have the impression many of the people who work here wish they lived in a major city, because their pretentious attitude certainly does not belong in Milwaukee.
So why such a negative review? Well 1) there are employees (who are wandering around the store and not busy at all) who fail to ask if you need help while you stare at their plethora of crops and pants and 2) upon exiting the fitting room, you have an employee who is too busy texting on their phone to acknowledge your thank you, or see if you could use another size. It’s called customer service ladies, and it’s customer service that gets customers to invest in your ridiculously priced products.
No thank you Lululemon Milwaukee, I’d rather spend my money in Chicago– where the employees are expected to be pretentious but aren’t

I am a male who owns yoga pants. Thank god these things aren’t made to fit guys the way the do girls. No one needs to see that.
That said, I received my pants as a gift and had to exchange the size since I’m shorter than everyone thinks I am. I don’t own sweatpants (by emphatic choice) so I had some reservations about these. I will say that they are as comfortable as anything else I would go to yoga, play Xbox, or lounge around in. As much as I do actually enjoy yoga, I tend to work out back-​to-​back with classes, so I wouldn’t want to wear them to get all sweated up in.
Anyway, the staff here is very friendly and very helpful. Between questions and willingness to order a couple items not displayed in the store, they were more than happy to retain and promote business. As said, my pants are comfortable, and I’ll likely add to them at some point in the not-​too-​distant future. The line for men is actually pretty appealing without being a kitted-​out Body Armour mirror. It’s good to see a boutique store that’s known in larger cities apparently doing well right here in our own.

Went in, made 2 laps around the store, tried a few things on, and nobody said a word to me. I’m not paying $ 120 for a sweatshirt to leave the fitting room to get myself the right size. It wasn’t even busy — the store had maybe 2 other customers at the time. Come on, Help a girl out.

Great and helpful staff. Always a smile on their face!

I adore Lulu. I first discovered the chain in Seattle, where it is definitely a lot more popular. Their products are fantastic. Lots of bright colors and cute designs! They do a fantastic job of catering to new fitness trends and their employees really sell the brand. The store is full of cute, fit girls who clearly work out in lululemon apparel.
I’ve gone on one fun run with their group that leaves at 6pm every Monday and it was a great experience! I used to be an avid runner and I struggled on the run, but the people on the run were incredibly supportive and welcoming. I find that the more I go to the store, the more I want to buy their products… Go!

SNACKS! This is the first Lulu I’ve been to that had a little snack table out! Cheeses, meats, nuts, and Sprecher’s Root Beer. I grabbed a soda, who could resist?
I actually only stopped by because it was amazingly close to the Milwaukee Public Market, which was the real destination for the day. So glad I did though! They had a decent amount of sale items, unfortunately nothing really caught my eye/​was what I was looking for.
I did end up buying the flash pack your practice bag and the new some like it hot white/​polka dot bra. Super excited about these new items. Can’t wait to use them!
The employees were pretty friendly (which I find kind of rare for Lulu stores most of the time). When I asked if they had the Ray (briiiiight yellow) wunder under crops they sadly said no, and that they had only heard of one store that had them and they had even sold out in 2 hours online. Dang! I want those!

I JUST DON’T GET IT
That sums up my take on Lululemon. There are two things I don’t understand about Lululemon: The ridiculous pricing on a brand that doesn’t carry brand cache YET, and why they are here in Milwaukee. Seriously. It. Doesn’t. Make. Sense.
Let me say that I was thrilled to see this new store add some «street value» to the Third Ward. I think this store is a good fit for the area in many ways (but not others). The store design itself is very impactful and well-​designed both visually and from the perspective of utility. I visited the store in Chicago, and it shares real estate with some rather upscale nameplates like Barney’s, Tod’s, etc.
The staff is enthusiastic, loyal to their brand, and are able to communicate the quality that demands the high premium for their product. The concept of the store is novel. They integrate free yoga classes into their retail format.
I always feel happy when a store like this comes to Milwaukee, but my instincts tell me that the area is not ready for the sticker shock of their pricing. I perceive Lululemon as a brand that is gaining some traction – BUT it’s not there yet! – and I think that is my point! A basic t-​shirt that is supposed to last five years. Okay, I do get THAT. The materials are all eco-​friendly, like bamboo. I get THAT, also. What I DON’T get is the $ 48-​$ 78 price tag for a basic –shirt. There is only one detail on the shirt: a tasteful Lululemon logo on the yoke of the shirt the size of a paper punch dot. Most area natives will forego the investment in a five-​year t-​shirt and purchase, hmmm, I don’t know, like 10 regular t-​shirts from Kohl’s???
Lululemon is a trend like North Face – and I didn’t understand that one either. So far their line doesn’t strike me as so remarkable that I «just have to own a piece of their clothing.» I doubt many, if any, would even acknowledge the pieces as fashion statements because they are, well, [possibly too] «understated.»
Still, I liked the fit and fabrics utilized. But my friend did not appreciate the more body-​conscious cut of the clothing. He tried on a shirt and said loudly, «I feel like I’m wearing a woman’s bodice.» So, I guess if you are going to wear Lululemon, understand their demographic. And then decide if $ 300 plus to add six non-​distinct, ordinary-​looking (but really great quality, soft, expensive-​feeling) t-​shirts to your wardrobe is a worthwhile investment.
Three stars for this hip store that leaves me saying, «Yeah, I still don’t get it.»

I seriously wish that Lulu didn’t expand their location from being a showroom to a full blown retail location! One of the positive things about moving to Madison (Wisconsin in general) from LA for grad school was that I have absolutely nowhere to spend my money on clothes here. This is no longer the case. Thanks to Lulu, my wallet will be getting smaller and smaller. My ultimate demise would be if Barneys opened a store, but I know that I’m safe from that ever happening.
Like all Lulu locations, the one in the third ward is well designed and has an overall cool vibe. And like all lulu locations, the girls working there are super friendly and ultra cute. The selection, at least for the guys, is about half of what can be found at their locations in the LA and SF Bay area (the only reason I give the shop four stars rather than five). I suspect that the clothes haven’t quite caught on with the men of Milwaukee, which brings me to the next point. Guys, your girlfriends may be already wearing the clothes, but i’d suggest that you give their men’s line a shot. I purchased my first pair of pants and pullover top in 2006, and I will never ever purchase another brand of active wear again! Their products fit well, and tend to last a long time. My old school pants and top from 06 are still going on strong!
