working out is expensive enough




I work at roots, as i mentioned in my last post.While working at this company I have noticed a new trend in customers workout clothing. While at first we only sold sweats, now there is a wide variety of clothing one can wear to work out in; basic sweats, the extremely popular yoga line, fashion sweats, leggings, etc. And while we are only one store who sells lines like theses, out major competition would be that of Lululemon, a fellow Canadian produced althetic clothing shop. However, their line is completely based around yoga. Both stores, which sell the combined greatest amount of yoga work out clothing, have competive pricing ranging from $70 - @125 dollars for pants, and outfits going up to $200.

Now this may just be me, but I love the yoga line at both stores, but i feel its a bit sad to have both companies sell their products at similar outragous pricing. Wouldn't it be better if one store dropped their pricing. Working out is expensive enough with equiptment and memberships alone, who needs to purchase an outfir for upwards to two hundred dollars.
