| - I know it is ridiculous to spend $60 on a top for working out and $80-100 on pants for exercise. That said, the products last quite some time, are well worth it and are designed with yoga and running workouts in mind. My workouts range from Bodyrock with tons of jumping and lots of sweating to spin to yoga, so the workout gear from Lulu fits just fine. The tanks don't chafe, the ones with built-in bras actually work really well, and the pants/capris are fabulous. The bags I have purchased through Lulu seem to have been tested by women for a while before finally getting it right with numerous pockets, pouches, and helpfully designed features that make them perfect.
I usually get my products from Lulu online but went into the store since I needed some capris before a trip the next day. The capris were a huge hit. I live in Phoenix, and the studio capris were incredibly light weight and a now-everyday wear item.
The staff were all super friendly, although also a bit hovering and constantly asking if I needed a dressing room (better than no staff and having to wait for a room though!) The store is well designed with easy access and easy to find sizes and helpful staff in every corner. The stores sometimes have more colors and options than what is online. I didn't see the sale rack, and I need to ask next time!
This location offers the free yoga, running, and cross fit classes during the week.
The cons: Lulu's final sale items are final sale and non-returnable. So, if you choose something from the final sale, try it on, check for shoddy stitching and anything else funky. The return policy is really strict. An item that was regular price can be returned within 14 days of the original purchase date. All tags must be still attached. From what I read on some of the Lululemon fan blogs, the quality has gone down hill after the manufacturing started in other locations besides the original Canada location. Also bright colors and dark colors have bled. I had a dark Ta Ta Tamer (love the bra!) bleed onto a bright green tank. I also had a pop orange cool racerback bleed onto a towel when sweating it out at the gym. I did follow all the specific detailed laundry rules too!
