Best store for sporting goods

So you've heard about this thing called exercise, and now you're looking to get in on the action. Well, if any store can gear you up to ditch those TV-watching pounds, City Sports is it. With convenient locations designed for the city dweller who wants to do more than watch baseball, City Sports has been suiting up locals in the latest sports gear since 1983. A good selection of sporting equipment and apparel is housed in each of the urban locations, with brands such as New Balance, Nike, Timberland, and Adidas lining the shelves. Athletic Bostonians know there's no need to head to the suburban chain stores; they've found what they need on the streets of Boston.
