I found a pair of L.A. Gear and a pair of Addidas on clearance-- only $50 for both with tax and the $10 off coupon! Great selection of goods. Clean store and friendly staff.

There is a super nice Manger thats always there at night. He is super helpful, he has great customer service skills and really knows his products and is willing to get it for you and bring it to the register. He is a Big Five representing the 5 stars.

Great store. Lots of cool gear. The manager is super friendly and helpful. On one particular visit i seen a pair shoes on clearance that I was about 10$ short on being able to afford and the manager went ahead and marked it down for me. I thought thought that was very kind him and worth mentioning

Stock is a mess. Some employees are helpful, but it can be hard to flag someone down to help you. They do some unusual things with discounts and pricing that the employees dont always seem to know about. Best to bring in the ad and hold the to it. Some stores are quite good, but not all of them.

Big 5 is right across the street from grandma place on North Fremont, plan on parking on the street or using the back parking lot. Once inside the store has good selections and value for the price point. The staff is knowledgeable and helpful and they are more then willing to walk you around and offer help. If your asking about a sport that is not their own forte, they will gladly get someone over whos forte it is. Great place over all.

Being going to Big 5 for many years dating back to their move to Seaside and the locations in Monterey to include the present location..Parking sometimes could be challenging...I suspect thats because of the great and quality deals..The staff goes out of their way to help, even though they are under staffed

What help I could get was good those staffing was sparse. Product availability was low but employees were willing to help find where I could purchase my items.

Review №24

The store itself was nice and clean while the employees were very helpful. The only problem was that they were sold out of the steel weights we required. I guess since all the gyms are closed everyone is working out at home. We will return at a later date. Keep up the great work.

I needed to buy some work shoes and found a pair of hiking boots, a backpack with a camel back and a weighted blanket. The selection of sporting goods as well as camping gear is awesome and the staff, if they dont know the answer, theyre not afraid to ask their colleagues for advice and get you the right item. Thats one thing I always admire, when the staff doesnt push something on you because they want to make a sale. Everyone here was so helpful and made sure I actually got what I came in for. Thank you!

Review №33

Yesterday I purchased a Sig Sauer air pistol and some ammo. I presumed it would come with everything required to use it. Upon unpacking it at home, I noticed it did not come with the co2 gas cartridge to power the pistol. I was never told by the young sales assistant that it needed a gas cartridge for it to work. That’s because they don’t have any!So now I have a $100+ item that DOES NOT WORK! This is really poor and very unprofessional customer service. I have an hour round trip to go to the store and when I complained, the assistant lied and she and her colleague had a very sarcastic attitude about the situation.Do yourself a favour and buy your items from somewhere else with staff that care about their clients. I will not go back there.

I have lots of issues with my feet. Ive had several surgeries on them. I recently had custom orthodics made, which called for me to buy all new shoes in a larger size. It is imperative that I buy the best shoes possible. Jacob was the best! He was so patient with me as I sent him back and forth with different shoes, going up and down in half size increments.Today I had to return a pair (I knew they were too big, they were just so cute and the only size they had 😊). Alvaro assisted me and was as kind and helpful as he could be! Reasonable prices and helpful associates...what more could you ask for?Oh, I know, how about a raise for these two young men?

Just what I have always come to expect from a Big 5. Good selection, great service. I would have given it 5 stars except that they didnt carry one item we were looking for, which is a weighted bar for punching bag workouts. Very common in most gyms, so I was very surprised they didnt carry it.

This is our first stop when it comes to sporting goods. Seems like they have most everything, and the staff are knowledgeable. I love the clearance section (best in town). Parking is easy. Prices are reasonable and they have frequent sales. We dont visit the gun section but they do have one and it seems to get lots of business. It is smaller than the mega stores (which I wont name here), hence the 4 stars. Give it a try.

I have been buying shoes here for a long time and they are always helpful and friendly to the customers. I bought shoes and soccer cleats today, but the tag was marked wrong for the soccer cleats. The cashier was very nice and gave me the sale price and apologized. Great place and awesome people!

Just like any other Big 5, they have a ton of stuff and always have decent prices that are usually on sale. They have a lot of outdoor stuff as well as apparel, workout clothes, shoes, and anything sports-related. The staff is very friendly and will always give you a helping hand. It is definitely in a convenient location

Review №61

I Like Big 5 and they have some good deals at times. But theyre advertising for a shoe they do not carry. I went to the front counter to see if I could get a rain check possibly but stood there for a long time with nobody at the register so I walked out. They seem to be understaffed.

Good store, ok selection. Wonderful to see an outdoor activities retailers on the left coast still carrying firearms. I do almost always have to wait for a manager to do some thing or another before my checkout is complete though.

Decent selection and employees are helpful. A lot of items do not have any prices making it difficult to shop at an efficient rate.

Review №66

Im going to be realistic about Big 5 Sporting Goods I can find almost anything in that store cheaper online and or at another location its nothing to do with the employees at all in any way whatsoever I believe that there are just as hard working as a completely understand if store and sometimes it looks like its a little bit of disarray and there is no I dont have anything bad to say about the staff. Its just the prices are too high when I know that I can get a camping heater for $39 and they have the same one on sale for 79 to me thats gouging they should price match their items and good gain a better reputation if somebody else is selling it for that they can do the same

Review №73

I was looking for a pair if running shoes and asked an associate to help me find my size l. He seemed like he was bothered by my request and dissapeared into the employees only area, never to be seen again. There were other customers who wondered where he went as well.I went ahead and helped myself, found my size shoe and made my purchase.If it had not been for the good sale price on the shoes. I would have gone elsewhere.Hopefully it was just bad timing and the customer service is better next time.Having been a Big 5 customer since I was a teenager. I would hate to have to stop shopping there.

Review №74

Im a total new-be to guns,my interest focused upon target practice,as a way to quieting by senses and plain becoming more grounded. I went in feeling totally prepared for being treated like some sort of idiot, knowing as little as I did. Comfortably,and surprisingly just the opposite occurred during my next three visits to this store. Sales representatives Jessica A. and Ramon never once rolled their eyes or in anyway treated my like a dummy,instead they were polite,clear,and extremely informative . After a few visits, I had bought a Sig pistol,gas cartridge propelled 10 shot magazine, .177 caliber,Navy Seal replica .. as well as two single action break barrel Gamo rifles,in 22 caliber and .177 caliber. . Both Ramon and Jessica gave me advise around gear bag, and the broad choices around ammo picks. Conclusion... whether for sports gear,or outdoor clothing,every family should give The 5 some of your business. Youll be given personal attention,politely and professionally,plus your purchases are covered by the stores generous satisfaction return policy .

I bought two pairs of shoes there for under 70. I wanted to know about the treadmill price but I couldnt find anyone to help me so that wasnt to great. The sale on shoes was worth the trip though. The store is tightly packed with merch but the sections were definable. I knew where I had to go for what I wanted. I didnt get the need for the beanie babies selection in a Big 5 but to eaches own. Overall semi pleasant trip. I will return more name brand shoes (on sale of course).
