Title Nine

Excellent service. Sales people were prompt, helpful and thorough, even as it took quite a while to find a sports bra that worked for me. Knowledgeable about fit and different bras for different activities. No body shaming, lots of laughs, and enough privacy and time to figure out what you need.
I also walked out with a new jacket and running top (as one does), a much lighter wallet, and a restaurant recommendation.

If you love seeing the Title Nine catalog arrive at home, wait until you see the store in person! Even better yet, the awesome people that work there!
Make a point to stop there soon!

This location is great! My girlfriend showed me one of the catalogs for Title Nine and I was totally sold. She said that they have the best fit for sports bras. More specifically, ones for ladies with C+ cup size. I was grateful to find ones that fit well and were colorful. When I found one that wasn’t the color I wanted, the manager helped me find one online and she shipped it to my house free of charge! I was so impressed the service I would highly recommend. The prices are def steep but worth it for the fancy designs and selection. Bravo!

Went to Title Nine after the salesman at Jock and Jill said they had a larger selection of bras. I’m originally from Texas, and the store in Austin was great. They have some great bras, but the saleswoman was way too pushy. Even after nicely telling her twice we just wanted to look around — she proceeded to tell us about discounts in clothing. I appreciate the initial greeting, but please discern if the customer wants anymore help.

These reviews are sort of, ah, ancient.
I came in looking for biking clothes, and enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere.
Not only were they not pushy, but the saleswoman was able to suggest several alternative materials and stores that had them without batting an eye.
She even gave me directions to the Ibex and REI when I mentioned that I had already visited Gregg’s.
Stores for women’s clothing generally have a sort of tense vibe, since dealing with the occasional entitled rich woman is not for the faint of heart.
They seemed relatively chill here, though.
Incidentally, I am a little biased, since, when I left some motorcycle gloves there, I was contacted post-​haste to have them mailed 1000 miles to me.
If something’s wrong, call at 7pm for the manager (right after closing). In my experience if it’s really not right, she’ll MAKE it right. Savvy business-​lady.

I love this store and the friendly staff. Their expertise is in bra-​fitting and they’ve always been right on the money for me. I’ve shopped here for years and have never experienced the negatives that other Unilocalers mention, so give this store the benefit of the doubt and check them out.

I’ve been rotating through six sports bras from a Title Nine for the last three-​ish years and had to update my stock only because my activities have changed. Those six saw weekly use, and I’m really impressed with how they stood up. Even though the prices can be a little jarring, it’s totally worthwhile.
I went in close to closing time and thought I’d find what I needed quickly. It turned out that I had to get measured and try a few things on, so it took longer than I thought. Kristina listened to my concerns and gave some great pointers and feedback about proper fit. I left with two to try, and tested one during a 10k immediately. It made a huge difference and wish I had gone in sooner!

They are very pricey. Not anything I’m interested in wearing. The sales staff is very friendly.

The woman who fits bras is SO know it all that when I said I could barely breath it was so tight, she said it SHOULD be, and when I wanted a larger size she gave me a look like I was completely wrong, but «okay, do what you want»…you will get horrible results, kind of look. I got the same look when I had to return what she talked me into because I could not fasten it. The younger girl returning the item gave me the same treatment, they are so snobby about what «they know», they don’t care what you say or feel. They just wouldn’t believe what was comfortable for me and cared more about what they have been taught? It was the condescending looks that were the worse part.

I walked in today with my 2 year old looking for a sports bra (and dreading it). They made the experience wonderful. Measuring and suggesting really good options, helping my daughter, etc. They didn’t have my size for one that I really liked so they told me how to find it at another store. I could not have asked for a better experience.

I visited Title Nine for the first time last weekend based of a recommendation from a friend. All I needed was a new sports bra, so I got there right after the store opened so I was the only person in there. I was greeted promptly, taken over to the sports bra section, measured and then the sales lady picked out 3 bras to start with and proceeded to check each one for fit and comfort and bring me new options as we went along. It probably took me 30 – 45 minutes before I found the right bra, with the right fit, but the sales lady was with me the whole time. I appreciated her dedication to me and to finding the right one. I wish I had caught her name, because she made the whole process stress-​free for me. And, after doing my first CrossFit workout in my new bra, I know for sure she helped me pick the perfect one for me! I’ll definitely be back.

I love the catalog, I want to love the store.
I love that Title Nine makes it easy to find the right sport bra. Their rating system is truly helpful, and the staff at this location are really helpful in finding the right bra for you. They’ll also order the color you want if they don’t have it in stock, and will ship it to you for free. They will, in fact, do that for whatever is in their current catalog.
This brings me to wanting to love the store. You see, all of my last purchase at the store was shipped to me, because they had none of it in stock in my size. It seems that this store has a lot more lifestyle clothing (yoga pants that you don’t actually do yoga in, dresses) than actual workout gear, aside for bras. This is a major disappointment for me, as I really want more functional clothing, and I don’t want to go to Road Runner.
The staff was great, and let me have extra time after hours to finish my shopping and trying on of stuff. I definitely recommend coming here if you’re near Green Lake.

Wow, after reading some of these reviews, I wonder what store you were visiting. Everytime I shop at T9 is a good experience — I either come away with a purchase or knowledge of the next sale, or something equally choice. The staff always recognizes me, and unlike REI, I don’t have to wait 20 minutes for a dressing room. I’ve even had them track down a dress of which there were only 3 left in the company of my size — and they were all on hold for other customers. When one of the customers decided not to purchase it, I got a call from a T9 shop in Madison, WI — via my local Greenlake shop — and they shipped it right over. That’s service.
It’s one thing to knock the products (which nobody seems to be doing), yet another thing to knock the store for a bad experience you had in the dressing room with someone else’s dog. Maybe the entire staff has changed over from the time when all of the reviews were about their inattentiveness — try them now. Or don’t, and leave the good sizes for me.

After seeing a co-​worker in an adorable Title Nine dress, and then looking online, I couldn’t wait to go to the store. I had a very strange experience there!
I walked in, no greeting. Then found a few items to try on and the sales clerk pointed to the dressing rooms consisting of curtained room which I don’t normally consider a problem. As I was trying on bras, and a dress, a very smelly little dog popped into my room. He was attached to a leash in the dressing room next door, but the owner didn’t seem to think it was a problem that her dog was no longer in her dressing room. Since he was one of those underbite dogs with a smashed nose, I was trying to stay away from him so he wouldn’t cover my shins in doggy slobber. I politely told him he didn’t belong in my dressing room, and his owner must have gotten the hint.
In spite of that experience, I did decide to purchase a sports bra. There were two clerks, and one was training the other so as I was waiting my clerk would stop and assist the other one as I stood there. The register process took ten minutes in spite of the fact that there were only two of us, and two clerks.
I’m not usually picky, and I really do like dogs but this was a decidedly unpleasant experience. I’ll stick to Lulu Lemon for yoga clothes.

I’m not exactly sure why this store sort of sucks. The clothes are pretty cute — if you like REI or Patagonia, you’re going to love everything on the rack. With the new remodel, it’s laid out better than it was before, and every now and then there’s a really cute pooch hanging out.
But the place does not inspire loyalty. I’ve bought my share of merchandise. I check in maybe once a week to see if they have anything new. I’ve attempted to exchange pleasantries with nearly every member of the staff at one time or another. Hell, I live so close I could spit on their heads as they leave for the day. I live upstairs! Still — they never remember me. No recognition. No ‘hey, nice to see you again!” Okay, so what. Don’t remember that I was in here on Tuesday. But then, don’t look at me like I’m interrupting your monumentally important discussion of what CD should be played next. I get more genuine cheer from a dentist visit. [I also hate their whole ‘strong women’ marketing routine, but that’s not their fault]
Yesterday, I stopped in to check out their summer dresses. I went around the store, I looked for sizes, I finally went into a dressing room. Not one acknowledgement from the THREE staffers at the register. Why would they acknowledge me, the customer, when they could giggle together, and talk about whether the samples at Trader Joe’s are gross or not? What a waste of time actually SELLING clothes would be.
Now I’ve been in the Flagship Prada in NYC and a dozen little boutiques in San Francisco, and I have never run into such do-​nothing, fake-​cheerful, condescending help as in Title Nine. Someone needs to whip these ladies into shape, because with a little work this store could rock. Right now? It does not rock.

Three customers in the store (including me), and two sales staff. I shopped around for about 10 minutes, even tried some things on, and not once did a salesperson even look my way. I even stood in front of the dressing rooms holding up some clothes, trying to get someone’s approval to go in, and no one noticed me. One was ringing up a customer and the other was busy fawning over a customer’s little dog.
The catalog always makes me want to go in, but the store doesn’t have nearly as much as the catalog. I’ve been in a few times previously, and I’ve had at least one salesperson who helped me a while back, but today’s experience makes me think I won’t be back.

I’ve been a longtime online shopper at Title Nine, but I had never been into a store until I happened upon this one just a few blocks from my new house. I’ve been in twice already and both times was approached by friendly staff. The second time I had a great gal help me try out sports bras — bra shopping is something I usually associate with frustrating and long ordeals, but after asking me about my needs, the first one she picked off the rack was a perfect fit. Score! T9 prices aren’t inexpensive, but they do stand behind their products, offering a full year for full refunds or exchanges — even on worn merchandise.
The in-​store selection (especially of sales items) is not nearly as extensive as online, but I think having a store nearby will be a plus when it comes to trying things on before buying and being able to return online purchases quickly in person.

If you’re looking for adorable, unique clothes to play around in — this store is fantastic! Their selection and customer service beat REI anytime!!! The sales ladies are super friendly and totally accommodating — spent lots of time getting me different sizes and made great suggestions.
If you need sports bras, they have a huge wall full of bras — loads of styles and sizes. The gal that helped fit me for a sports bra was totally informative and made such a dreadful experience (i mean honestly, who actually likes bra shopping???) completely worthwhile.
Great selection and awesome customer service = a very satisfied me.

A previous reviewer indicated that they’ll ship something for you without paying for shipping, yet a few weeks later they were going to charge me for shipping an out-​of-​stock item from their Portland store. What gives?
Two stars to Title 9 overall because aforementioned item never arrived, no phone call to explain that they weren’t going to ship it or charge me for the product and shipping. By the time I realized that it wasn’t going to happen, they were were sold out of my size on-​line, too. Based on the feedback from reviewers on-​line, Title 9 seems to run out of stock quickly regardless of whether it is a sale item or not. Frustrating, indeed.
They have some attractive prints and fabrics but I’ll stick to REI who at least offers free shipping to their store (or to your home if you purchase over $ 75).

After my experience here, I’ll never buy from them in store or in catalog.
I drove up from T-​town just to check out a couple of things I saw in the catalog. These ladies judge you as you walk in. I wasn’t worthy, so I was ignored as I walked in, and the multiple staff members all helped one person at the register.
No one asked me if I needed any help, of course, so I flagged someone down. «Do you have any more of these in other sizes?» «No.» The saleswoman walked away after that, without apologizing for the short supply, offering to catalog order one for me, or suggesting another product.
Since no one was helping me, I went into a dressing room to try something on, and apparently I walked into someone else’s room while they were out on the floor. I knew this because the customer and the saleswomen were TALKING ABOUT ME behind my back. As soon as I opened the curtain, the saleswoman barged in on my room to kick me out.
I’m never going to buy anything as a second-​class citizen. Prepared to be treated like crap here.
