This is the only place I know in the city where you actually get great advice from the staff on which running shoes are right for your feet. Their team knows what's up!
Brian Grogan Jr.April 15, 2018Wide selection of different sports equipment, at multiple price levels. Friendly and helpful staff. No matter what activity you’re doing, this is one of the best places in the city to gear up!
The Corcoran GroupFebruary 22, 2011THE go-to place for all your sporting goods. Book at day trip to a local ski resort for $84, and they arrange your equipment rentals for an extra $30.
Paragon SportsSeptember 10, 2013Our Warehouse Sale begins 9/11 until 9/22 featuring 50-80% off many great products including athletic footwear, sneakers, cycling, tennis, running, performance apparel, ski, snowboard, skates & more!
Cole KennedyJanuary 17, 2017Huge range of active and outerwear brands but good luck finding anything. I guess it's great that you can get ski shop services in the middle of the city.
dawn.in.newyorkOctober 2, 2024People who run definitely love this place. Great stuffs for running and hiking in one place.
Jon MorrisJuly 13, 2017Nice selection of gear for just about any sport you need. Reasonably priced compared to the many specialty sport equipment stores in NYC.- If you need outdoor items or gear, this place will have it. All sports, lots of brands, tons of shoes. Really, its a great sporting goods store.
Best sporting goods store in NYC. Great cycling and running sections. They carry an impressive spectrum of value and high end brands.
Valerie SApril 16, 2017Massive-- 4 floors -- with any and every variety of sporting good you may need for any sport or adventure. Staff is super helpful, too.
Dabney DoniganOctober 24, 2013Fantastic tennis section - have associates on hand that are well versed in their racquets and the local tennis scene. Use their demo racquet program if you're looking, it's the best!
HeidiMarch 5, 2017Great selection of men's clothing and male-specific gear. Women's clothing selection is very limited. I only come here for unisex baselayers when I don't want to wait from online retailers.
Lydia VanWormerMarch 14, 2017I'm usually a big fan of R.E.I. simply because of their awesome return policy. But Paragon has lots of stuff that R.E.I. doesn't have; big selection of sporting cloths and gear.
Damian BayonaDecember 20, 2015Most sports are covered as well as cold weather and camping gear. Sells high end and mass brands Friendly, knowledgable staff.
Check out Prana Power Yoga just down the street from Paragon, at 862 Broadway, 2nd Floor. HOT yoga classes for all levels. Check out Hour of Power, Prana to Music, and Candlelight Flow classes!
Sara 🌈⚔🍾October 24, 2014They have a huge selection for hiking, biking, tennis, snowboarding, skiing, backpacking and anything else you could want.
Brian HoeftApril 1, 2012They have an outstanding selection of products here, and I've always found the service to be very helpful. No need to worry about double-checking online, either. This store has it covered.
Ben ThompsonSeptember 26, 2012Called and heard they don't have fishing equipment, but stopped by anyway and it turns out they have a small selection of rods, reels, and other tackle on the 3rd floor. Score!
THÜNDERHORßE ก้้้้้้้้้้้August 8, 2011This store WAS awesome. 15 years ago! Today its just an OVERPRICED jackass collection of what people think the outdoors is. "Of course I need an everest jacket for breezy fall afternoon dog walk!" No!
timoni westAugust 9, 2014A great one stop shop for all things sports or outdoors. Particularly helpful for checking out things like large backpacking packs or rollerblades.- Gaurav YadavAugust 7, 2014One of the best places to pick up sports equipment. Also the deals they have are pretty awesome.

Paul SailerNovember 14, 2012The best general sporting goods shop for running gear. Sports Authority & Modell's are a joke in comparison. Group runs every Tuesday @ 6:30pm.
MischaFebruary 8, 2015The best place to buy ice skates, lifetime sharpening when buying from them no matter what skates you choose.
- Paragon SportsDecember 20, 2013Shop the best gifts 'tis holiday season for you and your loved ones. Lots of items on sale.
Tim NoltMarch 16, 2013Use there price match deal . Scan barcodes and find online for cheaper. Also Chris in the boot section is the man. Great help.
DaveApril 15, 2015If you tell the salespeople what adventure you're going on and when you're going, they'll know exactly how to outfit you
Cheen The CuriousAugust 11, 2022Did u know? This specialty sports store has been family-owned since 1908! Source: Website
Melissa WilfleyJanuary 21, 2014The oldest, continuously running sports store in nyc run by the same family. worth the history.
Gigi AgiusAugust 21, 2014Probably the best sporting store in town. Staff are knowledgeable, friendly and not pushy at all.

Olivier Nguyen Van TanSeptember 14, 2013Try the Mizuno steaming machine to break your baseball glove. Worth the $15 charge.
John EJanuary 27, 2016Best overall selection of sporting goods, equipment, and athletic apparel in the Manhattan.- smile from The Lower East SideDecember 30, 2013Me to the guy at information: "Do you have men's yoga apparel?" His response: "What's apparel?" Didn't buy anything, not likely to come back if I have to explain what they're selling to them — smile
Juan CanasOctober 18, 2013Ask for Alex in bottom floor if you want a good service in the running shoe section. He is the best.
Andrew ChoiFebruary 7, 2014All the employees are very knowledgeable and super friendly. They know where everything is, always.
Best all in one sport store. They cover more sports than models and other sporting good stores
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!!!
Not the cheapest place to buy sporting equipment but sales are helpful and they have wide selection
Meredith BMarch 16, 2012Team in Trainingers and cyclists in general- Paragon won't sell you pedals or shoes if you didn't buy your bike here. Talk about missing the sale...
Mike O'SullivanAugust 16, 2015Comprehensive sports store in Lower Manhattan. If you need it, chances are they have it.
If you're in the cycling section, take a moment to roll your eyes at the soul cycle clip in shoe purchasing girls.
The best place to get all your sporting gear, there's virtually anything and everything you might need. I love this place!
Liam K.December 22, 2014There are registers on the 2nd and 3rd floor-try those for a quicker check out!
