Went in to check out the foods and I was ripe for influence to purchase but there was probably 5-6 employees working on a Saturday night and no one cared to greet me or help me and the store was empty mind you. They were all congregating near the register chit chatting. Does this store manager and chain pay these teenagers to stand around and chit chat and gossip? They'd be making a ton more revenue if their employees put in some more effort to tend to patrons who are there for a purpose. read more

This was my first time shopping at Athleta and specifically Maddy made the experience amazing. She made me feel heard and very welcomed right away. She was knowledgeable, helped me with sizing and product recommendations, and was extremely helpful bringing items for me to try. She also explained the benefits of applying for the Athleta credit card in a helpful, non-pushy way. Maddy was personable, kind, and truly made my day. Customer service like that makes you want to come back. read more

As you can see, I have made a few purchases at this location on various occasions. Also, my oldest daughter has made a couple of purchases here too. Honestly, it is quite pricey on 90% of their items. Their selection is limited to certain styles too. Let's be 100% honest since I am in my reviews. Every single time we enter this store, we are never greeted. The associates will glance from either the register area or from folding/arranging clothes in the front and not say a word. Twice I have shopped with a friend who has made $250 to $300 purchases both times. They barely cracked a smile with her. This has been ongoing since they opened a few years ago. Now Customer Service 101 should be a greeting or acknowledgement, right? Not here. However, we still make purchases; but, believe me not as much as they potentially could get with a little smile or hi! My daughters and I have noticed that older YT and YT women/girls are greeted upon entering and receiving a "have a nice day" after not purchasing anything. Management, do better. Unfortunately since this has been ongoing for years, I am sure anything will change. read more

Athleta - A little treat for myself. - Sports Wear Near Me - San Ramon, California

Athleta always has a well kept display of items. I've always had a wonderful experience at this location, with customer service & just the helpfulness that is sincere. Although a bit pricey, I usually save up enough to use my reward certificates to purchase items. Add 20% with a Black Friday Deal & it is definitely a more affordable option for me. Items Purchased: 1.Cozy Karma Twisted Neck Sweatshirt $108 I chose the Burgundy color in size XS per the website recommendation, but it was smaller than I had expected so had to go up a size to an S. It's a hassle to return so I would recommend trying it 1st before purchasing. But I love the soft fuzzy lining inside so I could wear this alone without a coat if I wanted to in the daytime. 2.Recharge Sweatshirt $79 a nice stretchy material in Cream that I could easily pair with a tank top. This can be dressed up or worn as a casual exercise top so I love the versatility in this sweatshirt. 3.Brooklyn Lined Pant $109 a lightly lined pair of pants that can be dressed up or worn casually $ matched with the Recharge Sweatshirt easily. Since I am 5'2" I needed to alter the length & it took about a week, free of charge. 4.Altitude Stash High Rise Polartec $119 I've been eyeing this for a while since the $119 was a deterrent, but it was on special for $69 so I bought an XS & it fit perfectly. I love that it's a warm fuzzy lined pair of leggings to wear during the winter season. My next purchase may be the Triumph Hoodie $108, but in the meantime I am happy with my purchases & the great experience I've had at The Lot's Athleta. read more

See all

I like the clothes but I would rather shop online because I'm soooo sick of being constantly begged by the employees to open an Athleta credit card. I don't want a credit card here I want to shop for clothes. Leave me alone. read more

Staff is nice, the clothes are comfortable but their return policy is not great compared to other high end work out clothing stores. I bought two pairs of the transcend leggings and the pocket seam tore in both within the year. The staff told me it's probably because the material is thinner, but for the price, I don't think it's acceptable that the pants will developed a hole in the steam where your phone sits. It's a bummer because I really like their leggings, but maybe just avoid the Transcend leggings! At least Lululemon will fix or exchange your torn clothing... just be cautious, the material is pretty cheap compared to the price tag read more

I've been a loyal customer of this Athleta location since it first opened and have always appreciated the welcoming atmosphere, helpful staff, and supportive environment. Unfortunately, my recent experiences have shown a clear and disappointing shift in management. During my last visit, an employee was kindly helping me when the manager yelled across the store at her to go check people out. It was abrupt, loud, and completely unnecessary. The employee looked flustered, apologized to the manager (whose name was Andrea), and rushed to the register, leaving me mid-conversation. What struck me most was that the manager didn't appear to be busy or unable to assist herself--she just seemed unwilling to. The entire event left me very uncomfortable and embarrassed for the employee who was just doing her job. This isn't the first time I've noticed something off. I've witnessed management reprimanding staff in plain view of customers on more than one occasion. There's a noticeable lack of professionalism and empathy, and I truly feel bad for the employees who are just trying to do their jobs. If staff are making mistakes or appear unsure, that's not a reason to belittle them--it's a sign of poor training and leadership. Good management lifts people up and sets a positive tone, which used to be the case here. Sadly, that culture seems to be gone. Athleta and GAP should be concerned. The way staff are treated is not just a reflection of this store--it reflects on the brand as a whole. read more

It's been a hot minute....or few years so let's go and update this review including COVID protocols! L O C A T I O N Athleta is located inside the Bishop Ranch City Center right next to Mendocino Farms on the first floor. So if you're trying to find it, just go towards the center with the grassy area. You'll see it from there. There's a large parking structure you can utilize. I try my best to find parking outside on the Starbucks side, but that can be tricky if there's a lot of people even during COVID. C O V I D P R O T O C O L Folks are all masked up inside. There's plastic barriers at the "check out" counter between you and the employee. I'm not sure how the clothing try on situation is like so I can't say anything about that as it looks like folks can still go in and try things on. I'm just not going to.... I T E M S In my original review, I was not an Athleta shopper...after a few free workout events and a lot of free gift cards and also touching all the clothing and using them, it's kind of worth it. I would highly suggest waiting for sales. There are sometimes an extra 20% off sale items as well as times when they do their $5, $10, $20, $25, $30, $35 deal which can be a really good deal for some items. Returns accepted pretty much any time as long as long as it's not a final sale. I bought a shirt that unfortunately starting pilling after the first wash. I returned it without tags without any problems. That's the great part about Athleta. Satisfaction guaranteed. Of course, don't take advantage of this and only truly use it when you're completely unsatisfied. I do love the leggings here. They're soft and they nicely compress you in the right places! I would say try on several different leggins, bras, tops, while you're there so you know for sure what size you are in the different lines of clothing as they sometimes are a little different even between their own clothing. The sale/clearance item area isn't as extensive as Valley Fair so it can be a hit or miss when trying to find a deal. S E R V I C E Folks here have softened up since opening which is great. Friendly and helpful when you need them. O V E R A L L Athleta has stepped it up since opening. Though COVID has slowed my trips here it was nice when they had their workout events as it helped me do other activities and sometimes there were treats and even gift cards! But if you'd like a step up in terms of workout clothes, Athleta is a great brand that's a little pricey but if you wait for the right sale, it's pretty affordable in terms of quality you pay. read more

I think these people have no interest in selling their products. I walked in ready to update my gym wardrobe; employees saw me and didn't even bother to say hello. Annoyed, I even asked the employees if they bother to greet their customers, and nope, they went on chatting about whatever-the-heck they had to talk about. No wonder this store is empty. read more

Wow, not one of my best experiences today. It was like walking into a sorority filled with mean girls who wouldn't help unless you wreaked of money or looked like it. I just got off work, had gift cards to spend and there was a 20% promo going on. I timed it and it took almost 10 minutes before an associate approached me (Lily) to see if I was okay. Otherwise, no one cared. Lily was the non sorority girl type and I appreciated her for it. When I was ready to try on, I specifically went back to her to help me. Someone who looked like a manager tried to hijack my associate and I told her, "She's got me!" She kept coming back to check on me which was annoying at this point because now I look like a legit sale. I ended up using my gift cards and made sure the same sales associate who helped me checked me out. In hindsight I should have showed my love online or at another store. This one is convenient for me (unfortunately). I do like the salutation pocket pants and I like going in person to see the product in person. Yeah, I should have just looked and ordered online. Definitely next time. read more

Very uncomfortable experience at this store. I have been shopping only in store. And today they found out my phone number is incorrectly registered under another name. They cannot check my order out even though I tried to register my email for another account. I had my phone with me and suggested we can verify, but they said they cannot. Just asked me to register with other phone number. How can I have two phone numbers? I believe this wrong suggestion led to mismatch of phone numbers and names, using mistakes to cover mistakes. A big hole in the management process! I had 15 minutes wasted there. read more

I'm a huge lulu fan, and also shopped at lucy often before they got bought out by North face. Lulu hasn't been coming out with very many cute designs at all, it seems like they are just recycling the same basic stuff that has been overproduced. I walked by Athleta last week just to browse, and saw that they had a pretty large sale selection in the back. I saw the most beautiful pair of white leggings, I have never bought or worn white leggings in the gym but why the hell not? It's not like they are going to make my legs look any larger than they already are. I got a pair of the laser cut contender tights for $68 after tax. These leggings are so beautiful and since Athleta stands by their clothing, they will refund you if you don't like their clothes or if their clothing doesn't work for you. This is my first time purchasing a pair of Athleta leggings, and will update this review after I have worn them a few times. I am very particular about my workout clothing, I work out at least 6 times a week and have low tolerance for clothing that doesn't stay up, pills, or shrinks. read more

I have been an Athleta fan for years and was so happy when this store opened. It's so bright and pretty with beautiful displays of workout wear. I always enjoy shopping here because the staff is friendly and helpful. I've been in a few times and they have recommended outfits and different items based on what I like. Always a fun shopping experience!! read more

Athleta - Beautiful displays! - Sports Wear Near Me - San Ramon, California

No more commuting to Walnut Creek, Emeryville, or San Jose. Inland East Bay finally got an Athleta location in City Center Bishop Ranch. It opened today (Nov 13, 2018) ahead of many other CCBR store fronts. Love this location, especially since it is just across the street from work. They have a generous footprint, dressing rooms in the back, Athleta girl in the front left, and of course a way better return policy than Lulu. I love that they are starting up classes like free beginner yoga this Saturday at 8:30am (Nov 17, 2018; sign up online or give them a call). They have specialty holiday reusable gift bags ($0.10 each for any of the sizes: S, M, L, and backpack). They also do boxed gift wrapping. read more

The staff and product selection at this location are great. I wasn't aware of their newer online return policy and brought back online returns that were a week late. They were able to make an exception to take them back, and gave a gentle reminder (rather than a lecture). Became they were so accommodating, I made it a point to shop around and ended up purchasing a few times in store. Product selection reflects their online offering pretty well. The plaza where this store is located is also pleasant and fun to walk around. I highly recommend this location for their customer service. read more

All the staff here are very nice but Rachel is my Gurl here. Because we have the same name hahah I love coming here . With my OCD It's a Very well Kept and organized spot. Very helpful and patient No one jumped into space as soon as I walked in. I appreciate that. read more

I love this location! It doesn't get too busy during the weekdays. I ordered online and picked up in store. They let me know I could schedule curbside next time, too. Great and friendly staff! Great customer service! read more

I had a great experience in here on the weekend. The ladies in the store were helpful and super attentive and I connected with one who was closer to my age. That was a nice treat as generally I find svelte younger women and sometimes it's nice to relate ya' know? I have always had pretty good fortune with the Athleta clothes. Although I shop all over, the only leggings I still have from years ago that I love and have lasted are Athleta. Not the Lulu which tend to not last more than a year or two max due to stretching out and smell. YMMV. I'm encourage to see them producing more options that are not only meant for 22 year old size 2 ladies. Let's be honest here -you can be fit and want to workout at any age and not being a size 2 is not a big deal. Own your body and your life. In particular I love the newer Velocity tights (though they show sweat they are the most comfy I have and do not need adjustment on long runs) and the Foothill Tops. Loose enough to flatter without showcasing the fact I've had a couple of kids via c section so have the extra skin above that line (other than surgery it will not go away- I've tried). So flattering and comfy to workout. They let you wear an item and if it doesn't work return it. Hope people aren't abusing that but it's a great policy. I think I once returned something but not a normal occurrence for me. Appreciate the belief in their product. This store was great - and I enjoyed the shopping experience here and found parking in the garage easily. Recommended! read more

Sadly the young man working at the San Ramon store was full of attitude & very rude when I went in for some online returns. It made me not wanting to go back & shop there. read more

My daughter received a $40 X-mas gift from a friend which on New Year's day, we end up exchanging for $117 sweater. Later in the day, my daughter change her mind and we decided to return the sweater. The sales lady credit my friend's acct and not mine. I explained that she credit the wrong acct and her reply was to ask my friend to get the money back. I told her that it was her mistake and it was embarrassing to ask a friend for the money back. She told me she could not help me due to the way Athleta's billing/return system worked. This should justify the one star read more

I was in there for less than five minutes to buy something and had a horribly rude experience (even after spending almost $400 online). I emailed the manager about it and got a cookie cutter email reply to add insult to injury. I let corporate know that it would've been better to get no email from the manager, let alone one that didn't address my areas of improvement. I told the manager in the original email that I was happy to discuss the different ways this could've been handled if they wanted to reach out to me. They did not call me. They just sent the cookie cutter reply and didn't reply when I replied again. I told corporate they need better training, because this experience makes me want to take my business somewhere else. read more

The staff were very friendly and helpful. They don't have a large selection of petite sizes.

I really enjoyed shopping at this Athleta location. As of 5/21/21 their fitting rooms were open which helped take a lot of the guesswork out in making sure I bought the right sizes before going home. All the sales associates were great but Lou really went above and beyond for me helping me find everything I needed today. Will be back. read more

coming here quite often, it is because my daughter loves the products. well, the store always update with the new styles and colors. the staffs are excellent, nice, and knowledgeable. good quality and very comfortable... read more

Came here to make a return. Not one of the 3 sales associates working approached me to ask if I needed help. After browsing the store and picking up a few things, I walked up to the counter to make my return/purchase. The 3 associates were talking to each other and did not even acknowledge my presence. They seemed to be more interested in talking about one of the sales associates' hair color and nail color. Then as if they were trying to decide who would help me, 2 of them then pointed to the third associate to help me. She was not friendly at all. Last time coming to this store! read more

I have been to the new Athleta location in City Center twice now and love this store. The associates in this location are always super friendly and will help with sizing and finding the products you are looking for. Athleta offers alterations on all their items which is fantastic as I am height challenged, lol! They also have an amazing return policy. If you purchase it, wear it for a workout and find it just isn't right you can still return it! I love that the company aims for sustainable products...very important to me. Those who complain about price, well you often get what you pay for. I purchased a pair of their leggings for my daughter, she is 9, she can wear the knees out of leggings quickly. The leggings from Athleta are going strong. I would rather buy one pair then multiple pairs and throw my money in trash a month later and have to buy more leggings. Quality is worth the price! Thank you Athleta for quality clothing and all your amazing services! read more

Love this Athleta location, super helpful staff, great selection (without being overcrowded) and most importantly, they've been diligently following COVID protocol since the beginning! And let's not forget their awesome masks!! So happy with this conveniently location. read more

What a fantastic store! The staff is super friendly, helpful and genuine. Their girls line is adorable and completely functional for my young athlete. They host great community classes and events too. I love all my Athleta clothing! So glad Athleta came to San Ramon! read more

I did an online order for my daughter's Xmas gift for in store pick up. Everyone in the store seemed so helpful and but then there was the rush to have me out of the store once they knew my money was turned over.. They failed to remove the security tag from the item. It's Xmas Eve...... do I have a spare 90 minutes for a round trip? Please Athleta, take the time to examine your items on exit so other customers don't have to suffer this issue read more

I love athleta but this one is a definite miss for me... I went in today to check out swimwear and pants and wasn't even acknowledged when I entered the store , or while I was looking . Very disappointing as the customer service was non existent . There were some other ladies shopping there who were getting help , but not me. Could be Bc I'm black and maybe don't look like their "typical customer" ? I'm not sure . But I left empty handed after not seeing anything I liked in my size and not being greeted or helped at all.. read more

I love Athleta's clothes. I am having problems with my Athleta rewards credit card. I will try to call them again today to see if they have any news that things have been resolved. Somehow we will get this fixed. Thank you. read more

This is an absolutely Beautiful store and has such a nice culture with friendly staff... especially Tina! This store has a large selection of clothing! I have found that Athleta clothes are a very fine quality and fit extremely well! read more

Today was my second visit to this location. Both times I have shopped here the customer service is excellent. Especially from Kathy. She and all the gals there were so friendly, helpful to me and my 80 year old mother. Returns are quick and easy (I had a return from an online purchase). Store is clean, well organized, lots of sale items in the back of the store. Close to parking. Yes there prices are higher but they are backed by a good guarantee as well as return policy. Great experience, will be back. read more

Customer service here is very lacking. From the moment we entered we were ignored, although we noticed other customers that walked in were greeted with a smile and a "How may I help you?" At one point one of the blonde employees wanted to walk past me and instead of saying anything, she stopped, stared at me for a few seconds and then shot me a dirty look as she walked away. I felt so unwelcome in this store that I almost dropped the items I had in my hands and left. read more

I was very excited that Athleta has joined The Lot in San Ramon Bishop Ranch but I'm sadly giving Athleta a 2 star review today due to several store disconnects which need addressing. Also my review is aimed more at corporate powers vs any particular employee sales assistant. My experience: I purchased a sweater and leggings on 12/24 to wear on 12/25. When I got home I discovered the sales clerk had left the security tag on. Not really a big deal, but still... I went back to Athleta today and sales assistant Jenny was very helpful and friendly and removed the security tag for me. Thank you to Jenny! Here's my main complaint: Why advertise 60% off merchandise (giant sign outside the store) when there isn't any? No one in the store could tell me where the 60% off items were. In fact, the main sales assistant for the store was more than confused when I pointed that out to her, asking her to show me something that was actually 60% off and she couldn't. It was embarrassing and awkward to be told "well you just have to go up the the register table and find out how much the item is really discounted." Seriously? There's a reason items are marked with price tags: so the customer KNOWS the price!! Athleta is a good line. BUT corporate needs to do better with its marketing. Don't advertise 60% off if you can't follow through because it's misleading to do so- and then to make the customer feel embarrassed for even having to ask... I'm willing to guess there were NO store items actually 60% off today. Had anyone in the store been able to identify any of the 60% items to me directly, Athleta would have profited bc I need a birthday gift for a family member. Larger fashion hubs like Nordstrom, Macy's etc are sensitive to these things have consistently paid attention to this important dynamic: the power of sales and their promotion. As a result they've fostered a large and devoted customer base. I'm sorry to say Athleta has fallen short in that department. read more

Let me tell you, I had the absolute best experience at this Athleta location. A lovely store employee named Jacquelin showed me around the store and helped me find items that would be perfect for my body type. She was extremely knowledgeable and accommodating, bringing me different sizes and variations of an item that would suite me better. I will be returning to this location again! read more
