The 30 Best Sports gear in Manchester

“Sports Feet is a excellent independent shop. Dave and Allison are very knowledgeable. They took the time to understand my fitness goals, and my past knee injuries to help me find the perfect running shoe. Their personalised approach made all the difference. Highly recommend!”

“Brilliant service received from David. Responding to messages, arranging the fit and removal of the roofbox, and the roof box itself gave us all the space we needed for a family of four weeks holiday, and at a great price. Will definitely use again.”

“I am truly impressed by the great customer service! The email responses take a very little time to arrive, and are very supportive. Paul was outstanding in helping out to sort the postage issues. The refund for some items has been processed quickly and I have been well informed of what is happening at every stage - from pre-ordering until closing down the refunds. I am truly grateful and will definitely recommend the gr8fencing. Prices are pocket-friendly, too! The same items in a different store, with 10% discount, would still cost us nearly £30 more than the final order placed with Gr8fencing! The items have been shipped and delivered quickly. They are of great quality and fit well (we have bought the fencing mask and trousers for the first time, online, based on sizing given on the website - perfect fit!). I truly recommend the gr8sports to anyone :-)”

“Excellent service. Responded when I asked for assistance with sizing. Good quality product and dispatched promptly. Very satisfied and I would use the company again.”

“Very good customer service, top quality products. Would definitely recommend”

“Visited with my partner who had unsuccessfully bought lots of trail shoes online. Friendly and helpful staff who made sure that she got the right trail shoes for her. No attempt to upsell - she ended up buying a pair from the sale section which were a bargain. Would recommend without hesitation.”

“I've been training with Frank's for over 2 years. It's the best martial arts training I've ever had in my 15 years of experience. Excellent facilities with top, professional coaching. They are there to get you fit, improve your skills and support you along the way.”

“Great place with knowledgeable owner and staff.”

“Happy with everything Bought yonex racket. He aftercare . Nice guy”

“Great gym, great people and a great atmosphere! Lessons catered for beginners with no previous experience all the way up to active fighters! If you’re looking for a fun way to get fit whilst learning new, effective combat techniques then look no further! City Centre location with classes starting from 17:30pm onwards so it won’t mess with your work hours!”

“Great spot for a good priced coffee that is really nice! The staff all super friendly too. Also put on a lot of bike-based activities if that’s your cup of tea, and have plenty of cycling gear in store too”

“Fantastically friendly and knowledgeable staff, went in today for some new running trainers as mine were old and giving me issues, explained this to the gent who served me, and after assessing my feet and gait he was able to explain exactly what was causing my issues and offer me trainers that matched my needs. I feel very very chuffed with the service i received and the pricing matches that of many other retailers so well worth a visit! 11/10 would recommend!”

“We visited the shop today and were extremely happy with the service we received. They were very knowledgeable and friendly. We went in for football boots and the owner gave my children tennis balls for free and even played 'football' with my son. It started to rain lightly when we were leaving and they even offered to lend us an umbrella. We will definitely go back again.”

“I came for a ski boot fitting today and was seen promptly by George who introduced himself to us and explained the process. George was absolutely brilliant from start to finish - he was incredibly knowledgeable and nothing was too much trouble. In addition to the boots he gave me excellent advice on clothing. It was a really great positive experience and I can wholeheartedly recommend George and the team at Ellis Brigham.”

“I recently visited Manchester Martial Arts & Gym Supply and was very impressed by the knowledgeable and friendly staff. They had a wide selection of high-quality equipment and helped me find the perfect gear. Highly recommend! I will definitely be visiting again!”

“Lovely experience shopping today with Kata helping make the best decisions for our autistic son. Very helpful and experienced staff member indeed! Thank you Kata”

“Amazing shop! The staff was beyond helpful and friendly. Also did the tour of the stadium that was an excellent experience. A must for any sport fan!”

“I went to the shop with a good idea of what I wanted to buy. I was given good advice and had a nice chat with the 2 blokes in there. This is the kind of sports shop that every town used to have. You can't beat face to face advice and being able to see and touch what you are buying. They stock a wide range of equipment. Brilliant.”

“Surprised there's any negative reviews on here, Huw and the team are brilliant, honest from the start and responsive throughout. I've gone through a few cowboys in this sector but Teejac are a cut above.”

“I went into the store yesterday and I received the best customer service I’ve ever had, Jade was more than helpful. She gave me advice, and took her time to explain the pros and cons on each of the bags I was looking at. She even put 20kg weights into each bag so I could try them out and experience how it would feel ! Thank you so much Jade”

“Massive selection for any United fan. I've ordered from the website and visited the store in person. Excellent experience either way. The staff is friendly but a little sparse when it's busy. I recommend going the day before a match or the day after. Gameday is packed!”

“I can't recommend this company high enough. I needed to purchase a New Liverpool Jersey last minute so went on Amazon. The delivery under express service was 2 - 3 days, so I decided to contact A & A sports directly and see if I could get it sooner. I spoke with a brilliant gentleman who sent the Jersey on next day delivery. Amazing, friendly and professional service to say the least.”

“Extremely professional and helpful company with lovely staff. They were more than happy to accommodate my request for colour samples, and the two crash mats I purchased are of excellent quality.”

“Very pleased with my bag. Pricey was very helpful and efficient and had me on way in no time. Will 100 percent be back, great service. Rhys”

“Staff are friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. Gave good advice on the products I bought and even gave me directions for the shortest route back to my house, much quicker and better then the route suggested by Google Maps”

“Absolutely nice place to exercise or enjoy swimming. The facility is new and very clear. Only thing is they don't have swimsuit dryer.”

“I went for a gait analysis today at runners need, we just turned up not realising they did actually have an appointment system, their next appointment wasn’t until later that day and the shop wasn’t busy at the time we went in so the guy happily did the gait analysis. I have never had one before and wasn’t sure what to expect apart from running on a treadmill, the guy who did the analysis was very knowledgeable and very thorough, he was very helpful and I felt confident he knew what he was talking about and felt confident enough to take his advice!! As it turns out I have been running in shoes that are 1.5 sizes too small, hence all the problems I have been having! I wanted to leave this review as there are so many bad ones and had I read these before I probably wouldn’t have gone there. Don’t be put off by all the bad reviews!!!”

“Found this store on my way to Cheetah Mill. It is a great spot for anyone looking for quality sportswear at affordable prices. I was pleasantly surprised by how reasonable the prices were compared to buying from shoe stores. The store has a good variety of trainers, apparel, and accessories, and the deals make it easy to shop without overspending. Staff were helpful and the shopping experience was smooth. Definitely worth visiting if you want genuine Nike products at fair prices”

“I only use the sauna and the steam cabin usually (when I have time for a visit), but far the best of all Village Gyms in Manchester, even if this is a bit smaller. Nice and calm atmosphere and very kind staff.”
