    It's always interesting to return to one of my old stomping grounds. A lot has changed in the area, but this Big 5 still remains as one of the constants. These days, I only come here as this is one of the race packet pick-up locations for the Rose Bowl Half Marathon. For Saturday, pick-up started at 9 am, so I thought I would miss the rush and come a little bit later. I arrived at about 10:30 am only to find a long line that wrapped around the corner, all the way to Jack-in-the-Box. Parking has always been extremely scarce for this store, but for some reason, nobody parked at the curb right in front of their parking lot. That's where I parked before getting in line. After getting my bib inside, the race shirts were being distributed right outside of the entrance. If I still lived in the area, I would probably still come here as they always have pretty good deals. Everything about the store still looked the same. I used to come here all the time to buy grip for my tennis racquets.

    COVID-19: Social distancing is enforced at this establishment. All of the staff wears a mask. All customers are expected to wear a mask too. Some of the staff also wears gloves. There are some hand sanitizers available for customers to use. This place is open and available with limited capacity. They are also sanitizing in between customers. COVID-19 Vaccination Proof: This establishment currently does not require proof of vaccination. While I was grabbing some sport stuff from this establishment several days ago, I asked if they had any special offers and they weren't offering any at the moment. They also do not allow pets in their establishment. Parking: The parking lot for this establishment is a bit small. Each parking spot is okay. They aren't too big or too small. Store & Staff: The store itself is very neat, tidy, and clean. Their bathroom is also very clean and sanitary. Their fitting room is closed. The staff here are very kind, friendly, and helpful. They accept both cash and credit cards. There is no credit card minimum.

    With two kids and their growing feet, shoe shopping is impossible online. This is where Big 5 comes in. Jacob in the shoe department provided us with excellent customer service. He was very helpful, polite, attentive, and patient with us. He was great with multitasking running to the back room for us and helping several other customers at the same time. I was helping my younger kid while Jacob helped my indecisive older kid pick out his shoes. I hope the management sees this review and recognizes this employee for his good work.

    Adult Size Marvel Life Vests. Retail $44.99, prior to tax but on clearance for $29.94, prior to tax

    Sporting goods stores seem to be a dying breed, especially with Sports Chalet and Sports Authority now non existent. This Big 5 location is located behind Jack In The Box and across the street from Sprouts. This Big 5 is located on a corner, making it easy to find. My husband and I came by this store last night, looking to buy some life vests. We just came from the REI store in Arcadia because an employee told us that, that particular location does not sell life vests. So we decided to give Big 5 a shot and if they didn't have any then we were going to Dick's Sporting Goods next. After parking, we walked in and just headed toward the left side of the store and assumed the if there were life vests, they would be where the kayaks and fishing gear were. We couldn't find any and saw an employee, whom was helping another customer, and asked if they sold life vests. He told us yes and that it should be in the area we were at. He also said that he would help us find it after he is done helping the customer he was with. After looking around this section again, still couldn't find it. But my husband ended up walking over to the other side of the store in the water sports section and found it (that employee eventually found us and just wanted to make sure if we still needed his help or not. I suppose he didn't know where the life vests were either since he pointed us in the wrong direction). After trying a few on, we ended up finding 2 Marvel themed life vests (adult size and now we match. Wished they had a size for my dog so she can match too. She has a life vest but not in Marvel print) that had everything we were looking for. And the best part was they were ~33% off (most likely since it is towards the end of the season). I do want to mention that for life vests, it's important to try it on before buying blindly on line. Depending on what your intention is for the life vest, there really are some things you should be aware of. For us, we need life vests for our kayaks, to be used in generally calm waters. My life vest should not be too bulky (which can cause you to get over heated quickly and also be uncomfortable to wear), have plenty of room in the arm holes (so I have enough room to row my oar comfortably and not have my arms be restricted while out on the water), not be too long (needs to be comfortable when I sit down) and fit correctly, but snug (but not too tight or will be uncomfortable). Anyways, after we found our life vests, we headed to the register and paid for our items. Wait time to pay wasn't too long and service was friendly and painless for the most part. Overall, we had a good shopping experience. And am actually surprised that Big 5 had what we were looking for. I never really liked Big 5 and had always thought they were a low budget and dirty store. But after this experience, I will definitely perceive them in a different light.

    Rude cashier

    Rude cashier, poor customer service and her demeanor just so bad and please don't ask her a question she will answer you like as you are bothering her and don't make her wait. You could just feel she hates her job and she hates being there. I have been buying everything on line but I had to go on a store because my grandma needs to try on the hiking shoes as she is super picky. Will never come back on this store again. They have to overheard page the staff when you need help with the shoes but that's ok because at least they are nice unlike the female cashier.

    Great store. I bought a Mossberg 88. They had a great deal with two barrels... 18 1/2 inch for security..... 28 inch for hunting. The manager was really helpful and curtious. I later bought an ATI stock and fore grip kit from ebay. Looks cool. Will hunt with it later this year.

    Asics Shoes Grips & Very Comfortable! :)

    The tensioning loop is tearing due to a sharp metal edge on the cot.

    I have a life fitness recumbent , exercise bike. The bike is a little over over 20 years old. I've…read morehad it for 15 years and have rehabbed 4 knee surgeries with it as well as using it just for everyday fitness. A few months back, it started making noise after riding it for a few minutes. It was a loud noise, and you could feel it in the pedals. I was really worried that a major bearing was going out. After getting to the point where I was worried that I was doing damage to the unit I started looking for someone to serve it and tell me what was wrong. I contacted the manufacturer and they would have sent someone local out, but the price for the service charge was outrageous. I decided to turn to Yelp to help me find someone to service the bike, and that's where I found coast fitness. I called coast fitness and was put in contact with their service manager. He gave me some ideas of what could be wrong, and they were not nearly as bad as I was thinking. He gave me the price for just the service call, and it was reasonable.So I set an appointment for the next morning. The next morning , a super nice tech named Trisha came out and I showed her the problems I was experiencing. After listening to the noise, she said she was pretty sure that the bearings and my pedals were going out. She swapped out the pedals and then continued to listen for any possible thing that could be wrong with it , but there wasn't anything. I mentioned to her that I had contacted the manufacturer about getting a tech but how expensive it was. She said the funny thing is that they probably would've contacted Coast Fitness to come out and look at the bike. With the great experience I had , I would definitely recommend Coast Fitness for any exercise equipment that you have , that may need servicing.

    Don't look anywhere else if you are in the market for servicing your sports equipment. I have used…read moreCoast Fitness for servicing my elliptical machine for a long time. As always, they are extremely professional. Chuck, service manage and Trish, service technician at Coast Fitness are superbly competent and outstanding. service fee is reasonable with no hidden cost. My elliptical was serviced last week and as always, the job was well done. Their competence goes above and beyond. They are consummate professionals. This is not an accolade I lightly bestow upon them as they are the best in business.

    Yesterday my online inquiry with an exercise equipment manufacturer was passed on to Marc Moore at…read moreRX Fitness in Newport Beach, CA. Marc immediately emailed me introducing himself and asking for details about my inquiry about the Spirit Recumbent Stepper 7.0S. Over the next few hours Marc emailed me answers to all of my questions, included a price quote that beat the lowest I had found, an impressive price quote for White Glove Delivery and assembly, an invoice, a handy payment link, payment acknowledgement and assurance that he would keep me informed. He also contacted the Manufacturer to ensure that their last Spirit Recumbent Stepper 7.0S (in white) would be reserved for me. All of this amazing customer service occurred in less than 24 hours. Best part for me was that Marc gave my communication needs top priority as I am deaf and unable to communicate on the phone. Calls are quick, emails take a bit longer. Marc could have put my inquiry off until it was more convenient for him, but he did the work and took the time to get information to me as if I were standing in front of him. What began as a warm hands off evolved into a highly efficient transaction and a profound show of respect. Thank you Marc.

    What a truly fantastic experience from start to finish. From the initial phone call, to visiting…read morethe store, to delivery was a level of customer service rare these days. My wife wanted a recumbent bike and I wanted an elliptical machine. After doing a lot of research I was going to order online but didn't like the idea of such a big purchase without trying it out. All the stores that used to sell equipment were gone. After some google searching I found RX Fitness. They carry higher end brands but still found some in my budget. Plus their delivery fee includes assembly and was 1/3rd the cost of the websites I was looking at. I called and spoke to Charles who confirmed he had the models we wanted you to try. We went after work since they were having a Labor Day sale. He was extremely knowledgeable and went over the products, explained the differences, and had us try everything. Zero pressure sales, just friendly knowledge. After an hour and a lot of sweat we picked the equipment. A Spirit Fitness XBR95 Recumbent Bike and a Vectra 220 Elliptical. I was originally going to get the Spirit elliptical but I really like the feeling of the Vectra better. We purchased on Tuesday and it was delivered Friday. They don't just order from the manufacturer they have their own warehouse inventory and use a dedicated delivery and assembly team. The delivery crew was equally awesome. While building the equipment they talked about workout tips, showed all the features of the equipment, and went over preventative maintenance tips. I totally love our purchases and even on the lowest setting the elliptical is kicking my butt so I look forward to improving my endurance! If you're looking for fitness equipment look no further. They've got several locations. Newport Beach, Anaheim Hills, and Thousand Oaks. They have cardio and weight lifting equipment.
