Sporting Goods in Berkeley, CA

“Knowledgeable rep helped me narrow down to 1 from 3 running trainers I was eyeing before I got into the store. The Berkeley RR is great! They guys are sincere about their return policy.”

“The bike service I received was excellent! Expert advice, quick service, cost savings as a Basementeer; all my concerns embarking on the AlC ride were taken care of quickly! And I noticed race posters of running races I follow in the shoe department! Thanks for all your local support Berkeley Sports Basement!”

“As I company, I'm a big fan of T9. Love their brand, their products, their real-women athlete models. I had my first in-store experience in years when I came in to return something that I ordered online which didn't fit. The store did not disappoint. The associate who helped me was assisting others when I walked in, so I looked around for my replacement jumper. They didn't have it, but it was no problem. Within a few minutes, the T9 associate had processed my return, ordered another in the right size, and helped me order a pair of shorts I'd been eying in the catalogue (after trying on the size and deciding on a slightly different length and color). Both would get delivered to me at home for no delivery fee. I'm not sure how much the return and second delivery charges would have been, but I was happy to not find out. Now I'm so excited about my new summer jumper and shorts that will be coming soon!”

“Lovely and soft clothing for working out, yoga or just hanging out at home. I got matching pants and hoodie. My sales associate was Madison, very patient and helpful and sweet, helped me choose exactly what suited me.”

“these guys are very cool and their reasonable with the returns. I had a situation where my mother was Hurtt and I went to visit her long story short to stay put me out over my return. But the manager working there was kind enough to return the item, of course the item had tags and was never used and I’m sure they had all kinds of customers for the jacket, but the point is that was cool of them”

“Athleta is so much more than just an activewear brand — it’s a community built around empowerment, confidence, and inclusivity. Every time I shop there, I’m reminded that their mission goes beyond fashion. They create clothing that makes women and girls feel strong, comfortable, and capable in every part of their lives — whether at the gym, work, or on the go.

The quality of their products is consistently amazing — soft, durable fabrics that move with you and last wash after wash. Their designs are modern, flattering, and functional, made for real bodies and real life. I also love that Athleta is committed to sustainability. From recycled materials to fair trade partnerships, they’re making choices that truly matter for the planet and for people.

But what makes Athleta stand out most is the positive energy you feel when you walk into their stores or attend one of their community events. The staff is always uplifting, supportive, and genuinely passionate about helping you find what fits your body and your lifestyle best.

Athleta isn’t just about clothing — it’s about confidence, community, and celebrating every woman’s strength. A brand that truly inspires movement, inside and out.”

“Just wanted to give a quick shoutout to Evan for helping us with hiking backpacks today! They spent an hour+ answering our questions and teaching us how to adjust them to fit us. So much knowledge and patience.

Also Lena in shoes for their knowledge in hiking shoes and helping us find the right fit.

They both helped us when it was super busy too during weekend Labor Day sales. Appreciate them so much.

My husband and I usually hesitate to ask and end up with items that aren’t suitable for us. But today, these two helped put us at ease and helped us choose items confidently.

This will def be our go-to REI!”

“DESIREE IS AMAZING! She was very kind and understanding about my situation. She helped resolve my issues! Thank you so much desiree for helping me! You are a perfect example of great customer service!”
