From Running to Rugby, and Badminton to Bouls, there is prety much any piece of sporting equipment…read moreyou could want from this shop (or the website if it's not in stock) I find that alot of the central sports shops only deal in the more mainstream sporting goods and equipment, more specifically football and semi casual sports wear. Doug Hillard is good if your after something that is a little bit more specialist. Also for all the budding and fresh new teams out there they also do a design embroidery service. So you can design your own team logo and email/give it to them and they can see what they can do in terms of creating it and placing it on some sports wear/equipment. Go on, get that proffesional look for your team!

I enjoy sports to a certain extent. I like a bit of squash or rugby for instance, and I don't mind…read morewatching a bit on the TV. An entire shop, however, dedicated to sporty stuff is a bit much for me. For those that aren't too overwhelmed and are in need of some good quality kit, head down to Doug Hillard's. From swimming to soccer to cricket all the kit, balls, bags and supplies you could ever need are all down here. They keep it local too supplying local teams with their kit and some Bristol Rovers merchandise. If it's kit you need they run a little T shirt printing bit on the side, make an already able store a little better.

My family and I have had several pairs of running shoes from Moti and it has been my go-to place…read moredue to excellent service however my recent experience has soured this. I had driven 12 miles or so into Bristol and paid for parking only to spend very little time in the shop. The sole member of staff there did not seem enthusiastic and told me if I wanted a replacement Asics shoe they had very little stock of them and none in my size. He tried looking on their website but there was no stock anywhere. I would have thought my size of 8.5 or 43 was reasonably common and that a running shoe shop would have stock. He did not make much effort in finding something else. I had gone to the shop thinking I'd buy some new kit - leggings, at least one top and socks as well as the shoes but just wanted to leave. Disappointed.

For my sins I have recently attempted to try exercising. When I had a go at running recently I was…read moreirritated to find that my regular gym kit doesn't quite cut the mustard so I came to Moti looking for some advice. The woman behind the counter was cheerful and sprightly (although I'm increasingly finding this to be the case with most exercise loving Bristolians) and was quick to point me in the direction of some decent socks. I won't get into too much detail but after the state my feet were in after my first run I'm now only too aware about the importance of a lightweight, breathable sock. She explained all I needed to know, answered all my questions and the fact that I was new to running didn't put her off in the slightest. If anything she was very enthusiastic, even though I didn't commit to buying anything (I'm still not convinced running is for me). As well as running there is plenty of kit for sporty types, including a large selection of specialist trainers. There are group running sessions on a Thursday evening and a team of in-house therapists who offer free 15 minute assessments on your physical health.

A lot of thing have been sqeezed into a fairly small shop!…read moreIn the window is a bicycle, a tent and several styles of outer wear. I'm guessing that they don't have specialist knowledge but the shop is definitely interesting in its content - just about anything to do with outdoors but in a limited sor of way. I was simply browsing, so if you need something do check it out! I would if I were local. As Wareham is a small town, I imagine the pprices would be slightly above average.

This store is situated on the upper level of West Quay shopping centre. It stocks a huge range of…read moresports clothing for men, women and children. Unfortunately the store always looks a complete mess and it's got too much stock in it so feels very cramped inside. Almost impossible to navigate if you've got a buggy as it's just too overstocked and there's stuff all over the floor. Down the escalator on the lower floor there is trainers for children available which again is in a complete mess. The prices are very cheap which is why it's popular but it really could do with a tidy up. You do have to pay to park in West Quay so check the prices as it's a pay on exit car park.
