One of those perks was a gift card for Lululemon. I went by their *small-and-on-the-second-floor-with-no-storefront-access* Lululemon shop and it was closed--for remodeling so they could open a new, larger, awesome storefront in Green Hills. Two weeks later I went back....and this is what it looks like:
Lululemon is a retailer and a clothing brand that focuses on yoga, running, and generally stylish apparel. Very. Stylish. Apparel.
In this picture you can see lots of yoga mats, and also quite a bit of women's exercise apparel.
Photo: I took this shot with my camera phone, and I knew it would make an impression. To quote my wife Susan, "Oh I think that is awesome. I love it." If you can't find pants that you like here...
White running shorts is a guilty pleasure...in which I indulged during this trip to Lululemon.
Okay let's talk about the gear. Here I can talk no-nonsense as I have been an endurance athlete for 20 years. These shorts are awesome. The liner has a very soft feel, the elastic holds the shorts up with out being uncomfortable. There are side pockets on each side, and one small zip pocket for key/cell phone/condom. I also picked up a pair of yoga pants that I have worn to a corporate appointment with a shirt and tie. In short, very stylish...and functional, and comfortable.
The final impression I had leaving from Lululemon. The staff express genuine interest in your goals and make sure you have an amazing experience when you are in the shop. (I hate walking into a retailer and being ignored or condescended upon. It happened today somewhere in Virginia.) Lululemon is warm, friendly, helpful. I'm not going to lie...this is not a discount retailer. But for excellent style, functionality, and customer service, you can't go wrong at Lululemon.
