I was happy that Big 5 carried kids (and adult) fishing gear during a recent visit, so I headed over to make a purchase. The staff was friendly and helpful enough, and everyone seemed to be abiding by Covid-19 precautions, which made me feel better about being out and about during a pandemic. Definitely not a luxury experience, but conveniently located, moderately priced, and carries pretty much everything you may want that is sports / outdoor-related.

Value seems the same...Same price in California but cheaper tax wins it! Like any other Big 5 and that is not bad. What is great is better service and cheaper tax in Flagstaff, TX.

After checking in to our residence in Flagstaff, we decided to walk downtown and grab some food. On…read morethe way we passed Babbitt's Backcountry Outfitters. Places like these are few and far between in Tampa so we had to go in and explore. Babbitt's Backcountry Outfitters has supplies and equipment for every type of outdoor activity you could imagine. We spent some time perusing the camping and hiking equipment as well as the skiing things and were approached by multiple employees who wanted to know if we needed assistance. While I wanted to purchase so much more, we forced ourselves to stock up on only a few small odds and ends. The prices were slightly more expensive than online but being able to see it, hold it and try it on seemed worth the few extra dollars. The best part about Babbitt's? We went to dinner, realized we wanted to purchase something else, and were able to return and get it because of how late Babbitt's stays open. If you find yourself in Flagstaff needing some outdoor items, give Babbitt's a try.

After leaving one of the local running stores unsatisfied I decided to give REI a try. Was pleasantly surprised by their selection, a bit limited but had all the basics covered. Bought a pair a shoes and found they had their Patagonia gear on sale too so ended up getting some great Patagonia trail gear too that helped us stay warm on the unexpectedly cool summer morning runs which was in the 40Fs. Bring long sleeves and light weight running hoodies if running at dawn. I didn't expect much as much for service, especially after my last store experience, however everyone was pleasant, polite and helpful. I was so satisfied I purchased a membership as well.

I will definitely be back when I have family in town for rentals, but I will also be back to shop affordable snow gear. Oh!

We swung in here to check out their selection during our stay in Flagstaff yesterday; I was looking for a new water bladder and even though I didn't find one that I could use for the pack I was using at the time, I really loved how they have a hand washing rig set up at the front of their store & they asked us to wash our hands before fully entering. Of course we took delight in this (simple, yet effective!) system since it was (just) a bucket, with an attached pump that you step on which pumps water out through a copper spigot. The only thing that was a lil hard to do was getting the soap dispenser to pump out soap since it's one you stick on a bathroom wall, and this was on a grid so you kinda had to squeeze the grid and the soap dispenser to make it work - but it worked! The selection of camping/hiking accessories and necessities were great - they have many different kinds of water bladders, clips, sleeping bags, light pullovers, some sling bags, sandals, backpacks, etc. The upstairs was a skateboard area which also made this shop more unique as it catered to more than just the camping & hiking public! The selection of boards, trucks, and also the colorful wall of frisbees really made it great to include these kinds of sports inside a mostly-geared-towards-camping/hiker shop!

There is usually a good discount for buying in quantity. Prada (the owner) and his employees are very knowledgable about the guns and ammo they sell. There is none of the attitude found in some gun stores. Whether you are a first time gun buyer or an experience gun owner, I believe that you will have a positive experience at Horizon.

Best shop experience I've had in forever. Ski Haus is the real deal…read more I walked in knowing I needed new boots and skis but wasn't locked in on models. Matt spent a ton of time with me, asked all the right questions about how I ski (trees, bumps, charging variable snow, & park), and straight-up put me onto the Salomon QST 100s. He nailed it - they're absolutely perfect for the way I ride here. Mount point, base grind, and edges were dialed on the spot. The Armada boot fitting was on point. Appreciated the fact Matt wasn't trying to upsell anything extra for the boots until I rode in them at least once. Have noticed at other shops they'll try to upsell you on the fitting only to realize you didn't need it, but easily the most comfortable boots I've ever owned, and it only took one session. No rush, no hard sell, just Matt and the crew genuinely geeking out on getting everything perfect. This place still feels like the classic local ski shop that actually lives on the mountain. Huge thanks to Matt and everyone at Ski Haus - you've got a customer for life. If you're anywhere in Arizona and need gear that's set up right for Snowbowl, do yourself a favor and go here. Already can't wait for the next storm!

So…read moreif for some reason I have to miss it, like traveling makes me miss it, that shit drives me crazy! Back in September, we drove down to Arizona, the BEAUTIFUL! BEAUTIFUL! BEAUTIFUL! Flagstaff, AZ....for a dear friends wedding. We left Boise and I had to skip the gym that day, obviously lol. I missed the next day as well. Like a crack head does or a tweaker does...I was basically jonesing for the gym. Pathetic, right? Yeah, it kinda is. NEVER IN MY LIFE would I have ever guess that I'd love the gym as much as I do, buuuuuuuut.....ahhhhhh, I do! We arrive in Flagstaff on Friday. Before I left for AZ, I set up a temporary pass for Anytime Fitness. It's convenient if you're traveling. Gyms may be tiny, but like I said, for traveling, it's better than the hotel gyms. I go to Anytime Fitness on Saturday, September 7th. THEY. WERE. CLOSED. No staff! Seriously WHAT THAAAA??? So I immediately look for any other gyms and then I remember Flagstaff Athletic Club! The one of the westside of town, by campus....the one I worked at waaaaaay back in the day when I went to escuela en Flagstaff! My job there didn't last long, unfortunately...as I had to be to work at 4am. A student, having to work at 4am, when I spent every night at the NAU library.....I was a dork for all the right reasons, haha! So, as mentioned, I didn't last long. But it was fantastic to go back to this gym to actually work out! It's a beautiful club with amazing views from the weight room. I believe I added a pic when I checked in. Flagstaff is so beautiful. I've said this a million times...if for some god forsaken reason I had to ever move back to the pit of a state, I'd gladly live in Flagstaff. Ok, the staff was incredibly, incredibly sweet! 2 girls from NAU were at the counter. $15 dollhairs for a day pass, includes access to all of the gym, 'towel service's etc. I was trying to avoid paying for a day pass which I why I originally went to Anytime Fitness. But whatevs, it was worth it. I had an AMAZING work out! Their gym has so many machines, weights, etc that I pray my gym would get. A lot of FAC equipment is outdated though, if ima be honest. It still works, but this equipment was there when I worked there like...15, 16 years ago and I'm sure it's older than that. Anyone who goes there, knows it's hella old...the weight room is what I'm talking about. The cardio machines are newer and nice and the cardio room is massive, great views again, plenty of TVs etc. This is an exceptional gym ...even if I knocked how hella old their weight room and equipment is lol. If I ever go back to Flag for a visit AND....I WILL... I won't waste any time with getting an Anytime Fitness temp membership....I'll just go where I should be and that's at Flagstaff Athletic Club. (How's that last line?.sounding like something from a commercial haha! "ON THE GO AND NEED TO GET SWOLE?!?! LOOK NO FURTHER THAN FLAGSTAFF ATHLETIC CLUB! TO SATISFY ALL YOUR WEIGHTLIFTING NEEDS AND GOALS!" Ok now I'm being ridiculous hahaha! They have everything you could imagine tho...even racquetball courts and plenty of them too! It's a great place! Go! Get swole! Enjoy! Thanks yelpers! And people who are just looking up reviews! I'm ending this because I KNOW Yelp will tell me I've said too much if I don't shut up now hahaha! Cheers!

This review applies to both locations…read more FAC has both good and bad aspects. I'll try to be fair. The bad - if you're used to a new, shiny club featuring stainless steel open areas and shiny tile FAC is not it. The buildings were built in the 70s and despite some remodeling at the West club both clubs are dated and somewhat dreary. At times it seems they are not even trying to (shower heads in the east club are mismatched, come on), tile is dingy, and both clubs give a worn out vibe. Some of the gym equipment has seen better days, esp at the east. The good - the staff is very friendly, their classes are varied and a lot of fun, both clubs have both a steam room and sauna plus a jacuzzi, and they always seem to have an ample supply of clean towels. Overall grade B minus.
