“It may have been my first bike shop repair visit ever! BUT they nailed it!!!! Taking out a 2 inch nail and swapping my rear e-bike tire inner tube Quickly and professionally. It was a great first time experience and can’t wait to head back!!!!!!! Call first to make sure they can maintenance your bike!!!”
“Friendly workers. Running shoes, clothing, and gear are all high quality.I give 4 instead of 5 stars for two reasons. Mainly, there is no info on the shoes on the wall display. The Boston and Brookline locations list things like the model, stack height, and drop right next to the shoe. Cambridge really needs to do this.Secondly, the 3 shoes initially brought out didn’t match my foot scan at all. It was odd. But I did find a pair of Nikes I liked and was able to order them from Nike directly in the width I need. Note that width options are limited in most running stores. So I don’t fault Marathon sports for not carrying the wide.”
“Phenomenal store with world class staff and equipment. Rich helped me and my son with new goalie equipment and he was terrific. Super knowledgeable and patient. Best hockey store around!!”
“Excellent, knowledgeable staff. They take time and care to explain the products and how to best use, launder, etc all of the products. They host thought -provoking and informative events and serve the community in myriad ways. Their product quality, repair services, and sustainable practices enhance the value of every purchase.”
“Outstanding.Sincerely appreciate Your courtesy and assistance in exchanging a Gift that was not quite the correct size. Savannah was Terrific.It was the 1st time I had been to Your Store.The Gift Giver has shopped and continues to for many Years.Was really excited to also find a Columbia "Camp Pant" that I have been looking to find for years.Lastly, to the Gentleman who enlightened me to "slim wallets" - Thank You.”
“One of the best stores, amazing customer service, have an amazing inventory. First ones to have fenix 8 in orange spark when everyone else was out of stock. Also amazing staff that is very knowledgeable”
“While they didn't have what I was looking for (replacement gunwales for an old Mad River Canoe), Marc very promptly answered all my questions, gave me a bunch of good advice and redirected me to other shops in the area that might have what I needed. This was over several emails where it would have been very easy for him to just ignore me.
Once I get this canoe repaired, I'll be happily shopping here for any accessories that I need.”

“This store is really worth five stars, the only reason I gave it four stars is it’s just a bit expensive for me, but if you need anything hiking snowboarding, outdoor clothes, jackets, pants, hats, backpacks really nice stuff they have it all they really do they have basically want Marshalls and TJ Maxx has plus a bunch of other stuff. I’m gonna keep this short. I would recommend this place to anybody!”
“This place is great! Perfect for all ages! There’s at least 15 Lanes, I don’t know exactly, I just left for the first time. I’d recommend it to anyone! Weather your age 5-15ish they have slow speed pitching machines, also baseball pitching machines that probably go at least 80-85mph. BOOK AHEAD OF TIME! You’ll be way better off booking early because it does fill up on weekends, today I went with my niece, and I booked 1 hour. It’s $50 for 1 hour. Go and have a blast!”
“Chad from was absolutely a star. I brought my daughter’s broken lacrosse stick and from start to finish he gave me the most utmost professional and prompt attention. He ordered a new head from Maryland, which was delivered quickly, restrung it, and followed up with a call to let me know it was ready! And to top it off, he had it FedEx directly to my daughter at college!! this was such a huge help as she’s in midseason and in dire need for her own stick
Just amazing service !!! He’s an asset to your company!!! I can’t recommend Lacrosse Unlimited enough to anyone!!”
“We’ve been members of this wonderful place for 4 years now, and couldn’t be happier. The coaching staff are wonderful and encouraging, and the kids have been such a great group every step of the way. Facilities are great and so many options for training, lessons, and workouts. Highly recommend!”
“Dave and his team are simply the best in the business. Their work is consistently clean and precise. What truly sets them apart is their incredibly friendly and accommodating staff, making every project a breeze to work on. If you want top-notch service and quality, I highly Recommend them”
“It was my first time at Marathon sports today, and I was completely blown away by their service. John really took care of me and was very knowledgeable. I understand now why I was recommended this place. No other businesses compare.”
“I used to visit the store frequently when one of my daughters played ice hockey. She doesn’t play anymore. But since I have been visiting the store for softball gear for my other daughter, I have been super impressed!! Gary M has been soooo helpful on the softball side, it is unbelievable. He has taken the time to talk to us about the correct bat for my daughter’s style of hitting and she has been super happy with the recommendation. Gary helped us to find the perfect fielders glove and the care and finesse he took with re-lacing and breaking it in for her, I would have thought it was his own glove. He treats every customer the way they should be treated. Does he own the store? As long as Gary is at the store, we will continue to come back!!”
“Legit is a gem of a store, I love coming into this shop and finding cute items that are carefully curated. We created these beachy/summer themed balloons as an eye catching display for their storefront! Highly recommend visiting this shop anytime you're in the area because there's always something new to find there.”
“Thanks to the help I got in the store, my new walking/pickleball shoes are the best fitting shoes I've ever owned. They're a bit more expensive than what I've been buying but oh so worth it.”
“Great customer service experience! I was greeted by multiple people on the way in, and a great sales associate helped me to find what I wanted! And I love my shoes -- I would definitely go back next time I need gear!”
“Thank you Ronan for helping me find the perfect pair of Hokas! Your patience and and good nature were much appreciated, as were the helpful suggestions that led to a great fit!”
“Hilton's Tent City in Central Square, Cambridge, is a hidden gem that deserves all five stars! This great little store boasts a team of helpful and knowledgeable workers who go above and beyond to assist customers.One of the standout features of Hilton's is their frequent discounts, making their prices often more affordable than big-box retailers like REI or Patagonia. This makes it a go-to spot for budget-conscious shoppers without compromising on quality.Speaking of quality, the recommendations and product selection at Hilton's are unparalleled. I recently purchased a pair of shorts based on their recommendation, and I must say, I'm thrilled with my purchase. The shorts are not only stylish but also durable, ensuring they'll last me a long time.If you're in Central Square and in need of outdoor gear or apparel, Hilton's Tent City is the place to go. You'll receive top-notch service, great prices, and quality products that won't disappoint. Highly recommended!”
“Warm and respectful costumer service. I ordered a holster that was for the best price online and the wrong one was shipped .from that moment the costumer support agent was so nice and helpful and in less than a week I already had the right one in my hands . I know for a fact this website became a preferred store for my sports shopping. I strongly recommend”
“incredivle service! Diana, the sales associate was so perfect with my 4 yo son as he picked out his first pair of soccer cleats! she raced him around the store and got him so excited! that kind of personalized customer service was exactly what small business is all about! thanks Diana for getting him psyched!”
“Jon is very knowledgeable and has a great selection of racquets and gear. He’s very direct which I like. Has strung my racquets for at least 10 years. Support businesses like this one if you want expert help.”
“The staff here are unfailingly friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. It’s always a pleasure to come to this store. They’re never pushing their products and they’re not snobs about their gear. It’s not what you’d expect! It’s better!”
“I love this skate shop! Craig is such a professional. He really knows his craft. My daughter recent got a new pair of edea ice fly skates and a new pair of Gold seal John Wilson Revolution blades at another location and needed her blade mount adjusted. Craig got us right in and adjusted her mount perfectly, efficiently and accurately. Her left skate feels so much better now. Thank you so much Craig!! We will be returning to your shop again soon. I highly recommend this place and Craig!”
“Such great advice about what shoes would work for me and my running goals. Staff were so patient and helped me try on 6+ pairs until I found the one that was right for me. Cheerful, inclusive, and informative. I will never buy running shoes anywhere else!”
“The perfect amount of used options and new options. Reasonably priced. I regularly make the trip (45+ minutes) to shop. Definitely the best Play it Again around.”
