Pick up a Sport Count lap counter for the pool. It will make your lap swimming more enjoyable.
Abby LipmanDecember 29, 2012Once you can get ahold of a staff member, they are super helpful and knowledgeable
Eldon CarandanJuly 20, 2011The retro skateboard decks they sell are the truth! If y'all know the skaters from back in the day, you know what talking about. Nostalgic!!!
Mike O'SullivanAugust 16, 2015Comprehensive sports store in Lower Manhattan. If you need it, chances are they have it.
Len CMay 3, 2012Know what you're looking for because the staff that I went to were clueless. I even called in advance!
John DApril 21, 2010Avatars love Paragon Sports for its comfy Adidas tennis shorts, running shoes and overall superior gear and apparel selection.
A New York institution that can get out of hand, so take a deep breath
Steve MazurSeptember 21, 2014Not only will they match competitors' prices, but they'll give you an additional 15% off too
- If you're in the cycling section, take a moment to roll your eyes at the soul cycle clip in shoe purchasing girls.
Use your NYRR membership card for 10% off. If they tell you an item isn't eligible, be adamant that it was located in the running section.
Craig MesinerNovember 23, 2010Ask for Rock Climbing specialist Steven Castro. He know his stuff. He is an @campinteractive graduate. We trained him well.
Abby DeMilloMay 22, 2016Sat at Paragon - while looking for hiking boots, I was ignored for 10 min then insulted when a clerk refused to help me and another said rudely, 'you don't look like you are buying shoes for yourself'
Great tennis dept. except for one associate - David Bloom! Avoid him. He'd sell you a 2 X 4 for a commission.
Brian MasefieldJanuary 15, 2012They have just about everything, including long lines and not-so-good service.
Waiting for winter sales!!! Not happening yet on down coats that I want!!!
They have a great system for determining your running style
- Leigh FerreiraApril 10, 2011they will match a competitor's price & discount 15% if u show them the listing.
I've had better and worse experiences here. This weekend the ice skates room was crowded and hit; the service slow and disappointing.
Charles RockhillSeptember 24, 2010They do have a wonderful selection but the store is too big and the staff are hard to find/unfriendly.
Althea WhiteJune 7, 2010Can't return shoes if worn outdoors. Understandable, but every other running store allows this kind of return. I'll be shopping elsewhere

"The best place I have been to buy me a new pair of running shoes. Sales people take time to understand needs, test how you run and advise as much as they can. Take some time."

"I love the produce here. It's a menagerie of color. The New York bee guy offers a taste of New York honey."
Justin Ordoveza - 8.6
"Always pleasant, staff is friendly and responsive. There are plenty of smaller bookstores and local bookstores nearby but for a specialized & very organized big box bookstore, it’s the answer✨"
