Enjoy the fitness lifestyle with these sporting goods stores

We’re all aware that you get two types of people: the fitness fanatics and the, well, unfit bunch who are constantly on the mend. If you’re someone who jumps out of bed to catch the sunrise on your cycle to work, we’ve got you covered. And for those who require plenty of motivation (and coffee bribes) to put on a sleek pair of sneakers and the correct workout attire, we’ve also got you covered. Canal Walk offers something for every sports fitness lifestyle.

Few things motivate you to work out like snazzy new clothing, gadgets or sports equipment. Whether you’re looking to invest in a high-tech watch to track your running distance, add a safety kit to your hiking backpack, or simply look on-trend when taking a selfie at the gym, here is a list of sporting goods stores to visit this month.

These sporting goods stores in Cape Town will help you step up your fitness game and inspire you to try new adventures. Once you catch the fitness bug, you’ll become increasingly interested in leading a healthy lifestyle. And while you don’t need to spend an arm and a leg on something that you’re still acquiring a taste for, these stores cater to both the amateur and professional athlete who wants to keep fit and live a healthy, sports lifestyle.

As far as outdoor clothing, footwear, and equipment go, The North Face is a must-visit. With such a variety to choose from, the store offers outdoor enthusiasts a world of adventure. They stock premium fitness products that will equip you with the ‘tools’ to withstand a cold, strenuous adventure up North. Should you choose to travel to other countries, you’re likely to experience extreme weather conditions that you’re not often used to in South Africa. And, therefore, The North Face has the gear, sturdy cross trainer shoes, and gadgets you need to prepare yourself for your exciting adventure.

Are you looking to improve your game or add to your existing collection? Bring out the golf tees and let’s putt a round of the world’s favourite gentleman's sport.
