I would not buy from here again nor recommend buying from here again. I ordered a new watch and received a clearly returned item with damage to packaging and protective stick. I was given the option to return it but declined due to inconvenience and delivery cost. The watch itself was in perfect condition but I was still left disappointed to not receive an expected brand new item, especially considering the cost. Customer service was responsive and delivery was quick.

Was after these trainers for a while but did not like the price tag. Managed to find them on StartFitness at a more reasonable price. They came quite quickly and I even got a free pair of socks with my order. You can really do some good deals with StartFitness. Thank you for a great service and reasonable price.
I bought a lovely pair of Inov8 boots, they came up smaller than expected so I sent them back for an exchange, initial delivery fast, returns process took a little while longer. Was anticipating and happy to pay a charge for return to cover postage etc, somehow that didn’t happen, still willing tho. Overall very happy
Fabulous service. Corrected an error I made when I ordered straight away, sorted out another issue too for me. First class customer support and would definitely recommend to anyone.
I've been wearing Brooks Launch for around 10 years now, back when they were Ravenna. The latest iteration has a super spongey inside, focused more on the heal than I remember previously. I'm a toe striker bug still find them incredibly light and comfortable. They do seem stiffer on the foot overall with a higher heel but feel great. I bought them from Start Fitness at a reasonable price. They also offered Klarna so I'm paying through instalments and got a free pair of running socks. I always shop around and Start have been the most competitive for at least 8 of those 10 years.
Lovely trainers and a great price ☺️
Good fit and very comfortable to wear.
(Review by wearer)- Having been a lapsed runner for a while, I bought cheap running shoes until I got my mojo back. Wearing the Brookes ghost 17 feels amazing- like running on a cloud. I think they have really helped me to enjoy outdoor running again. Lesson learned- buy these!
Review of: Brooks Ghost 17 Mens Running Shoes - Blue
Comfortable to wear and the trunks appear to be durable judging by the quality of them.
Review of: Speedo Valmilton Mens Swim Shorts - Black
Very fast shipping and excellent value jacket - just as described
Very comfortable and true to size. Perfect for cross country.
It looks very good and comfortable. And its a great chance to get a pair with the order for the trainings!
Review of: Free socks with each pair of shoes
Only worn once on a run but so far I have no complaints very lite weight, so comfortable with the extra cushioning and really pretty to look at
Lovely touch. They looked like great socks but unfortunately couldn't try them as the shoes didn't work for me and had to be returned 😞
