Nike

Extremely unprofessional staff, they keep you waiting in line and don’t get back to you. I don’t recommend visiting this store.

So this is a tiny tiny Nike store in terms of merchandise and size, but they organise running groups four times a week for all sorts of runners. Mondays: Women’s 5K or 7K. Wednesdays: Mixed 5K, 7K, 10K. Friday mornings: Mixed, 7K. Sunday mornings: LONG ASS RUNS. This is also in addition to the Nike Training Club classes! Pretty impressive for a small store, I’ll say.
I go primarily to the Monday sessions and do the 7K, which is a normal, short-​ish running distance for me. But you’ll get an entirely different workout with the pacers, who make you do all sorts of intervals and sometimes all-​body training. It’s a great workout while also being a lot of fun. The huge thing is that the pacers aren’t your annoying, cliché perky cheerleaders; they’re actually down-​to-​earth, relaxed, and amazing at what they do. They’ll take care of the whole group and let you work at your pace. If you’re faster, they add in extra workouts to challenge you; if you’re slower, they will stay with you and figure out how to guide the group so that you’ll be able to catch up. Everyone’s really friendly, too. Not the type of competitive atmosphere you’d expect!
So if you’re ever thinking of trying to run shorter or longer distances more regularly with the support of a friendly group, definitely pop by one of the days they run together. If you can’t make those specific days, they also encourage you to check out the store on Oxford Street that runs Tuesdays and Thursdays (ladies), though having been to the other one once I’d say that this one is more organised and more like a collective. And did I mention that after 10 runs, you get a free T-​shirt?
I know what this sounds like, but I PROMISE I’m not being sponsored by them. I’m just SO STOKED by what they offer and just can’t believe that more people don’t take advantage of this!
Oh, and I guess their stuff is pretty nice and slick, too. ;)

This store is very small so you have a concentrated selection of stuff to see. I disagree with the previous review and I found the staff very helpful and polite. Perhaps the shop has had an attitude makeover within the year.
The nike brand is VERY expensive. You can feel the high quality of fabric with the garments, but it is quite shocking to spend £45 pounds on teensy tiny shorts to sweat in. I ended up skipping the clothes because the stuff at Decathalon and Sports Direct is good enough for me, but I did purchase an armband for my mobile. It was cute and it had a great feel to it, and so far it’s made me very happy on my runs.

Appaling service. The staff need an attitude overhaul in this shop. Terrible.
