I am brand new to running so I was a bit nervous walking in here. But the person who works at this…read morestore is so nice! Friendly, welcoming, not overbearing, not pushy, extremely knowledgeable, just a very pleasant person overall. I could tell she was passionate about running; I almost forgot she was a salesperson. It was a great introduction to the world of running. And she didn't mind my dumb questions at all, which was a bonus. AND, she even talked me out of several items that she deemed were a waste of my money, which is something salespeople normally don't do. I only bought one item at the time, but I know when I go back to buy more gear, I will be in good hands. As a bonus, they have training programs and running groups. All the runners are very friendly and their enthusiasm is contagious. The Running Room and its running community get an A+ in my book!

I ordered shoes online and when they arrived, two different shoes were in the box. Then I emailed…read morecustomer service and the response was that I should find a store, call in advance to see if they even has the shoes I wanted in stock, and go in person myself to exchange them! What kind of solution is that to put the work and hassle and time needed to fix their mistake onto the customer and not even offer to ship a new pair to me, or offer a credit or anything! I was so disappointed. Then the next day I got an email saying my customer service request was closed, before I had even replied! So then I called their customer service phone number and no one picked up, then the voicemail message said they didn't work on Fridays! What kind of company is this? Brutal. I would NEVER shop there again, to say the least.

Tried on two pairs and decided to purchase the used ones just to be sure that I am using them before I invest in a new pair. Austen was patient and great in explaining what to look for in a skate. There was no upselling here and the service is attentive. Really appreciated the time and care. When you purchase a pair of skates, they sharpen them for free. Will definitely return if I need to get something else for recreation or sports.

It acts like a flagship store that truly only stocks Raptors and Leafs gear most being completely overpriced. I have had to come here for TFC gear and they barely ever have anything and had to go into the back to find it, when they couldn't they told me I had to go to the store at BMO Field which is only open on game days and only to those who have tickets to the game.

Sensei Dixon has an incredible ability to not only teach but also do. His honor and integrity has been a major influence on who I am today. The lessons he has shared with me in martial arts have saved my life many times from how to react instinctively in a motorcycle crash to avoiding dangerous situations. I have nothing but the utmost respect for Sensei Dixon and encourage anyone who wishes to learn invaluable lessons in Martial Arts and its true meanings to visit the CMAC Beaches Dojo.

During my ~6 years in the organization, I saw this pattern unfold time and again but I was too naive to recognize what I was seeing. Progressively as I was being pushed to do things I did not want to do, things felt all wrong. I started avoiding the place. Then I suddenly had clarity one day: my interests were not Sensei's interest any more, and probably never were. I cleaned out my locker and joined the ranks of the disenchanted. A weight was lifted. I am thankful for the personal growth that occurred through that experience, and for the fact that I did not suffer any negative consequences. I know of multiple people who got screwed by these guys, one example is below.
