Time will tell over the long run about the quality but they seemed to be pretty good. There isn't much service, there was one girl out front answering questions but all the checkouts are self serve. Also I didn't see alot of employees around the store if case you needed help with an item. Anyways, I'm sure I'll be back to check out more of their products.........

There is a wide variety of items and is a good place to find anything sports related from cycling, skiing, water sports, etc. Not so much if you're an elite athlete looking for the best but it is good for an average person. The prices are reasonable and competitive as well.

Disrespectful Service by Sim…read more I had a very disappointing experience at the Sport Chek store in Metropolis at Metrotown because of a sales associate named Sim. I was shopping for running shoes and comparing different styles, so I took a few display shoes from the rack and asked her for the available sizes. Instead of simply helping me, the first thing she said was that I needed to put all the shoes back on the wall. She repeated the same instruction again while handing me another pair of shoes, reminding me to put every shoe back in the box and on the wall after trying them. When I asked for another pair to compare, she questioned whether I was really going to take them out. Throughout my visit, I felt like I was being constantly reminded of the same thing instead of being treated like a customer looking to make a purchase. Before leaving, I carefully returned every shoe to its correct box and placed them back on the proper rack. While I was on my way out, I briefly stopped to look at a clearance display with my friends. At that point, Sim approached me yet again and asked if I had put all the shoes back on the wall. I was honestly shocked. A single polite reminder would have been completely understandable, but being asked the same question repeatedly felt insulting and disrespectful. Because of this experience, I left without buying anything and have no desire to return to this location.

As we are both new to the sport, we had no idea what kind of bat, helmet shoes to get. We got the help we needed, paid and left. As soon as we got home, my daughter took the plastic wrap off the bat and put everything inside. Wife told me that the team provides bats, so we don't need one. Went back to the store, not even 30 min to return the bat and they tell me that I can't return it because the plastic wrapper is off. So now it's a used bat and they can't resell it. I had the receipt and bought it with 30 min, they said again "Sorry, the plastic wrapper is off, can't return it. " If you ever buy anything here, be sure it's perfect. Had no idea there was a no return policy for this place. I would advise to shop where they have a return policy.
