MBT Trainer

My experience with this was made easier because the staff this time, as with previous times were very helpful, I have purchased from this company over the years MBT footwear and have always been very happy with the product I will purchase from them again
Many thanks

Professional and empathetic

Sianna listened and contacted the supplier & manufacturer to ensure that the neck pillow's contents were safe from allergens.
She kept me posted, and communicated well. Brilliant!

I visited the Back in Action Marlow…

I visited the Back in Action Marlow store a few weeks ago as I had been thinking about getting a kneeling chair for some time, but I wanted to try one first. It was well worth the visit. The lady in the store was really very helpful and let me try lots of different options. I left an hour or so later with a Varier Variable and have now been using it in my home office for a few weeks. I love it! A great purchase. I highly recommend the Back in Action Marlow store and the Varier Variable.

We've purchased several items from Back…

We've purchased several items from Back In Action over the years, including two very comfortable "Stressless" chairs. On our last visit we bought an adjustable pillow and a "Healthy Back Bag" which is a sort of rucksack which is easier to carry than a standard rucksack. The expert advice from Polina was much appreciated - she has a wealth of experience and knowledge.

Great service, great advice, great chair and no more backache

Went in search of a desk chair as have been suffering with back pain from seating all day. Went to Back in Action as we’ve had a sofa and rocking chair from there. Brilliant service, great advice from Polina and since I bought a kneeling chair my backache has gone. Really recommend the shop.

I have dealt with this company for years

I have dealt with this company for years for the purchase of MBT shoes. I have purchased these before from other suppliers but then the supply dried up. I then found Back in Action was supplying them which was coincidental with their name. Ever since then i have purchased several pairs a year and have always had brilliant service and delivery the very next day. To be fair they don't always have the size i require so have to keep an eye on their web site, but i think that is more down to MBT than BIA because no-body else had them either.
Altogether a very good company to deal with and i will for many years to come.

Amazing customer service!

I went in to the store in George St London. Sianaa was very informative and helped me understand what each piece of furniture did and what would suit my business the best. I came away reassured I had made the correct purchase.
Thank you so much !!

Fantastic expertise

Fantastic expertise, kindness and overall customer service from Iliana at the Marlow store. She was totally committed to helping me find the best solutions for home and work - nothing was too much trouble and she gave me all the time I needed to try out products and ask questions. 100% recommended!
