Sporting goods in Bristol

“A big thank you from myself and Gem , we can't praise you and your team enough from first contact to picking the van back up had been nothing but 5 star , the workmanship and the product is truly amazing and will definitely recommend you to family and friends .”

“Took my son and his scooter to see James on Monday after having real difficulty undoing the wheel nuts. What an absolute star, managed to remove wheel, and also changed the bearings for us and realigned the wheels and made sure it was running properly. We will definitely go back with any scooter problems that occur. Thank you so much”

“I had a really positive experience using Really Useful Bikes for the first time to buy a new 'cafe' lock for my Babboe cargo bike. The lock I had ordered wasn't available, but Rob got in touch to offer me an even better model, which does the job perfectly. Rob takes a very personal, thoughtful approach to customer service which is a breath of fresh air in a world dominated by the likes of Amazon.”

“Super knowledgeable, friendly and not at all pushy. Really helped with my choice of a SC Vala. The shop is fantastic with good parking directly outside - have been recommending to friends!”

“Fantastic morning spent at Braces with incredible instructors who really helped us all have a blast. Amazing experience and would 100% go back. Definitely made me a fan of shooting clays and I would definitely do it regularly if I could afford the hobby.”

“Popped in to the shop having been recommended by a friend. Really great advice from Stu (the very handsome owner) on a scooter for my daughter. Walked out fully kitted up with scooter pads and helmet.”

“Had previously bought the wrong size skins but through helpful, friendly and knowledgeable staff we now have perfectly fitting skins, great training trunks and a strong kit bag. Couldn't recommend them enough. It was an amazingly easy experience.”

“Outstanding service from start to finish. The quality of Watson gym equipment speaks for itself — solid, beautifully engineered, and built to last. The install team, James and Lucas, were excellent — professional, efficient, and meticulous with every detail. They had everything set up perfectly and made sure the layout worked seamlessly for our space. Couldn’t recommend Watson or their team more highly — top-tier equipment and first-class service.”

“Brilliant company selling premium kit with exceptional customer service. Thank you, Wildbounds!”

“I came in looking for my first pair of running shoes as pretty much a complete beginner, and Oscar was an absolute delight to deal with. He took the time to do a full gait analysis and explained everything clearly, which made me feel really confident about what I needed. He was incredibly knowledgeable and offered a range of options at different price points, with no pressure—just genuine, helpful advice. Thanks to Oscar, I know exactly what shoes will be the perfect pair of shoes for me, unfortunately they didn’t have them in stock in the colour way I wanted but he signposted me online to get them! Highly recommend coming here if you’re looking for some running gear, and if you get served by Oscar it will definitely make your day!”

“Updated review: discarding my previous review, jake has worked hard to getting the issues resolved and getting in touch with me. He has agreed to resolve the issues for me and clarified my rights to full refund etc if I wanted it. Disagreement appears to have been a breakdown in communication and not bad costumer service.”

“Thanks for yet another service to your usual high standard and for replacing the gearbox rear seal. You have proven time and time again to be the refreashing antidote to the main thieverships. Keep up the good work.”

“Always excellent, do all my uniform to a Hugh standard”

“Had an appt booked at Sportbug for a gait analysis and I couldn’t be happier with the service given. The staff were extremely accommodating and no question or query was difficult to assist with. Came out with a lovely pair of running shoes suited to my running style and feet. Couldn’t recommend more!”

“Yet again friendly, highly competent service, nothing is too much trouble. Rugby boots and trainers for my grandson today. Always outstanding!”

“I had such a good time getting new boots and Neil was so helpful, friendly and extremely knowledgeable, great place to start new memories!”

“Really enjoyed my fitting with Joe, we looked at numerous irons and shafts, he clearly explained the lofts, lie angles etc… and we found an iron that really suited my swing. Would highly recommend a club fitting with him”

“Allways helpful and welcoming with a vast knowledge of diving experience which he is happy to share. Along with a wide range of quality diving equipment which he can also service at great prices. One of few still left in the business, you is or loose it.”

“This hidden gem sells proper outdoor gear that the large chains don’t ( in my case Scarpa boots). Amazingly, and despite the personal fitting service, they were cheaper than anywhere else on Google including mail order.”

“Shoes are great, fit true to size, i’m a size 6 in vans and converse and these fit the same. Very flexible and comfortable. Used them for training and were featherlike compared to my usual trainers. Delivery came quickly and tracking numbers issued accordingly. Thank you.”

“The best there is! Popped down to see Mike at their warehouse earlier this week. Super cool experience and seeing the process they take making these bats was amazing! Really pleased with the end products and the new techno stickers look great! Would highly recommend.”

“Just got off a 12hr shift, drove two hours to get there and got there 20 minutes before the shop was about to close. Staff fitted myself and my partner with a new bow each, measured our draw lengths and spent time with use in the indoor range to see how the bows felt, helped fit us both with arm guard and bow glove and took our flight colours for the arrows they have made up for us both, needless to say that this all took more than 20 minutes, but at no point did we feel hurried to make any choices or decisions by the staff members, I would highly recommend this store.”

“Nine Circles are one of the (if not THE) best martial arts equipment supplier you can ever hope for. Following on multiple orders made in recent years, they never seize to amaze me with supreme customer service. Even if you have some questions or something a little out of the ordinary, they always do their best to fit your needs with a level of professionalism I have not experienced in any other place. Quality of the goods also never disappoints. Every time I order, I feel like a kid on Christmas - Shipping is done as fast as Santa goes around the globe, and when opening the box, I know I'm get the best thing ever. Nine Circles' personalized approach really makes you trust their whole team, as they put so much effort ensuring you will get the exact thing you need, which makes you always come back!”

“Fast delivery, reasonable prices. Did have a small mistake with an order but it was quickly sorted with an email. Great customer service, would definetly order from here again.”

“Went to get new ski boots fitted. All of the staff were knowledgable, helpful and spent time working out how to deal with my specific issues. Can't recommend enough.”

“Not often I need to post a review but I had an issue with a chain I needed . The customer service was outstanding gave me all the information I needed even there was no sale and was polite and helpful throughout . Definitely recommended.”

“Very knowledgeable. Advice from experienced skaters who actually play and coach.”

“Celebrating 55 years this October and still run by the family. I have been going here since it first opened, I was a teenager then, and I'd still one of my favourite Bristol shops. Now even more favoured by the charming time spent talking to the husband and wife staff in the forces surplus section. My Vietnamese friend and his son enjoyed it too and when my friend said that he had fought the Americans during the Vietnam war as part of the Viet Kong I thought we might never stop them talking but time was against us and now there is camouflage clothing bought and one day soon it will be taken to China. A present for my friend's brother. Keep up the good work guys. This shop is so special. If you are reading this review and you have never been then do go. It's not simply military. It is all things outdoors on different floors.”

“The rubber flooring is top quality and it looks great. The customer service was also great and speedy delivery - would highly recommend”

“Incredibly impressed with the piece of kit but also especially the service from Jamie and the team. The delivery, installation and after care to ensure the machine was in the best condition it could be before they left was excellent. Just good solid business and communication. As soon as conditions allow, i’ll be right back in touch to see what other items I can acquire…”
