The plaza athletic store was incredible that I visited yesterday with a very complicated issue. I had just opened a charge card so I did not have my charge card information available. I had returns to make I had exchanges to make and I had new purchases. Stephanie was absolutely amazing and everyone on the staff was super helpful. They had a lot of inventory and if an item is not available they will order it for you. I am so grateful for the staff and making it so easy! read more

This is the better location to go to. Friendly staff, nice selection. It's on the plaza so it is a nice area to grab dinner after.

Over the holidays I did some self care shopping on the Plaza for fun, and I spent way more time in the Athleta store than I was anticipating. These days I typically do most of my shopping online but for an IRL experience, this Athleta location really hit the mark in loads of ways. They have a great sale area, filled with tons of offerings, the store is big and has a lot of their inventory in stock which is helpful if you're wanting to see how things fit, the fitting rooms are clean and modern, and the best part? The folks working I found to be super kind and not overbearing. I felt welcomed and that often doesn't seem to be the case at all retail establishments. Overall I'll be back! read more

The employees are really nice and upbeat in a genuine way. I love their swift shirts. This might be tmi, but I'll share. At my age, I've started maybe getting hot flashes and sweating profusely. They have a silver infused line of tops that really help with comfortable sweat wicking and have anti odor technology that actually works. The material is the most comfortable of all sweat wicking materials I've ever worn. My picky 8 year old loves the material, as well. Extremely well made, though it didn't 100% stay intact in one of the knees when she went scraping them across the cement. Still excellent excellent quality. The shirts look, feel, and perform better than the lulumon equivalent with anti odor technology. Though, I do love the lulumon jackets. read more

Athleta - A close up of material used in the shirts. - Sports Wear Near Me - Kansas City, Missouri

I love the clothes here; material is good quality and everything I get is very comfy. It is a little pricy though, but every few months they have great sales that cut prices down a good few notches. Conveniently located in the plaza, they do a lot of advertising for local classes (in yoga, kick-boxing, healthy eating/living, etc.) and are very knowledgeable on the type of clothing best suited for different athletic needs. This is definitly more than just a yoga pants shop, and is worth browsing if you like a comfy work-out look. read more

This is a really nice store and really easy to find. Everything is laid out well so you don't struggle to find anything. The people who work here are also incredibly nice. If I lived in the area I'd visit often! read more

So the person who worked here when I visited the store may not be racist but she sure behaved like one that day. I entered the store and started looking at stuff and this woman doesn't even acknowledge me and all my excellence?? I mean WTF? She was LITERALLY right next to me!!! Shortly thereafter, another couple [with the same skin tone] enters the store and she is all smiling and personable, asking how she can help etc. I'm standing right there like some dark shadow. Then she asked them second time If she can help them with anything and again I was right there. To recap, she acknowledged this couple not ONCE but TWICE, without even bothering to acknowledge me. First time, I was stunned, second time, I was livid. Not sure when I'll be in KC again, but I'll make it a point to avoid this place like the plague. Thanks for reading. read more

I love Athleta clothes. I usually shop at the Town Center location but I now live close to the plaza so I was happy to see there was an Athleta there. Stopped in today. No thank you! I'll do the drive to Town Center. The lady that helped me had zero customer service skills. In fact, she was rude. When I'm spending money like that on clothes I expect to get treated kindly. You have a job because of us customers.The ladies at Town Center are super nice. They make me want to be in their store and spend money. Maybe they need to train some of the employees at the Plaza location. A smile and kind words go a long way in retail! read more

Came to the store to check out the product in person. I'd seen several items online and wanted to personally try them on before purchasing anything. When I walked in I noticed 3 employees and two of them didn't even break their conversation to acknowledge me. I shopped around and admired plenty of cute items. I decided to see how close I had to get for those chatty employees to offer to help me. The answer, basically arms length away before the broke conversation to ask me if I needed anything. I told them I was in for the first time, thinking I'd get some help, but they just blew me off and went back to their convo. I do like a lot of their clothes, they have a lot of color options, styles and fits. What I did like about their line is that not everything is workout gear. They have some nice pieces for casual wear too. The prices are pretty steep. A pair of leggings will set you back $65-89. I grabbed a few items and tried them on. Again, no one offered help. I guess they think their product sales itself. I did not end up buying anything and I think I'll stick to spending ridiculous amounts of money on workout apparel at Lululemon. The Athleta employees could take some tips, at least there they are super friendly and offer great service. read more

Similar to Lululemon but I actually think I like Athleta better. It is high quality and nice stuff. The store is a good stop in spot when window shopping the Plaza. read more

Athleta - Sports Wear Near Me - Kansas City, Missouri

Shopped here for the first time today and I am officially SOLD! In the past, I have been more of a lululemon fan. After browsing around on athleta's website, I saw a couple items that appealed to me but wanted to try them on in store first before purchasing. I was overly successful in my first shopping experience here, as I walked away with a few more things than I probably needed--you win some, you lose some ;) I thought they had great variety in their products and found their clothing to be both flattering an comfortable. The one aspect that really made it for me were te employees. They were all so friendly and down to earth. I also found them to be attentive, as I needed different sizes in a couple items while in the changing room. Not only did they check on me several times but were eager to help me out. At other stores similar to athleta, I frequently feel that the employees are standoff-ish and at times, snobby. Did not feel this at all at athleta. I will be back--both to shop and to check up their complimentary yoga classes and run Club! read more

I totally love Athleta apparel. It is cute and stylish while practical and high quality. It isn't cheap, but I have really gotten my money's worth on the items that I have purchased. I was ecstatic when I found out that they were coming to the Plaza, hoping I could forego shipping costs, but honestly, I'd rather pay for shipping than have to deal with the employees here. Actually, I take that back.. I didn't have to deal with them. I was in the store for about 25 minutes and not a single person spoke to me. It was a Saturday afternoon and there were people in the store, but it wasn't busy. I wasn't greeted when we walked in, had to help myself to a fitting room, and then I waited and waited and waited to ask someone a question by the fitting rooms (hoping they had a smaller size in the back) and finally just walked up the register where the employees were just chatting to try and ask one of them. I waited, cleared my throat and then just set down my items and left. Bah. The fiance waited outside anyway since the waiting area in the fitting rooms was overrun by un-watched kids. I won't be back which is shame because I would love to try things on before buying, but I will probably still order from online because I do like the brand. read more

Honestly for what it costs to buy fitness gear they could do a lot better with service, however I used to shopping at Lululemon and the level of attention and service you get from the employees. I just did not get the same feeling at Athleta. They do have a great selection of sports bra, however they did not have one to meet my needs. I am sadden they no longer carry the Moving Comfort Maia : (. I was not very impressed with the style of some of the fitness apparel, it did not seem original and many tops looked similar to Lululemon. read more

I had to return some shoes from their website. The customer service suggested an in-store return for faster refund, etc. I was able to look at the replacement shoes in-store. They were amazing! The store offers free & fast online shipping (faster than offered from their dot com site to consumers at home). The employees were friendly, I believe 3 spoke with me on a Thursday evening. The products appearance and quality were more impressive than they appeared online. The only thing is I wish there was more made in USA stuff. read more

Nope. Really disappointed with the sales associates. I walked in with an Athleta bag wanting to return a swim suit, planning to receive a gift card instead of my money back. Well this one lady that worked there just grabbed my bag and clothes rudely (thinking I was trying to shop lift) and said we will hold this at the register for you. She didn't ask if I wanted a fitting room she just said "let me put your bag behind the register and take these clothes to a fitting room." And snatched it right out of my hands before I had a chance to say anything. The ladies are GREAT to the customers based on if youre a big spender. If not, and they notice you have a bag in your hand or returning something, their attitude changes. After spending over 400$ at this store over the years, I will not be a returning customer. They should either make it less obvious that they make commission, or get better advice about good customer service. read more

Rally House has the worse customer support I have encountered. They sent me a sweatshirt with a security tag installed. Two attempts at customer service did not receive any answer. I finally drove it to Wichita to the Sampler store to have it removed so I could wrap it for Christmas. Also, you will note on the their website you cannot leave reviews. That should be your first clue as to their service. read more
