Cheap exercise clothes?

sarabeth120

So, I've been using old softball tournament shirts (from like ten years ago) to work out in. They are all medium and they used to fit fine, but since I've lost as much as I have, some of them are super baggy and just uncomfortable for me to wear. My shorts are the same way. They are mediums, but are getting a little loose. I am not made of money here, so if anyone could give me a place where I can buy cheap exercise clothing that is still pretty durable please share!

Thank you!

Forever 21 is great and Primark if you can get it where you are.

I just do plain ole Hanes white cotton t-shirts. I sweat easily and so they get soaked quickly but I like clothing that actually "breathes".

Walmart's Danskin stuff isn't bad. Kohl's Tek Gear is good, and Target has a Champion line that's great, but it's not super cheap, just cheaper.

I buy most of mine at Target. Walmart's Dankskin line is cheap, like 6 bucks for shirts.

Target has some really cute reasonably priced workout gear. They have awesome yoga pants and workout shorts.

Walmart is pretty decent

If you're not afraid of wearing other people's old clothes, thrift shops are great. Super cheap and if you're planning on losing a lot of weight you won't be wearing the same size for long. Kind of silly to buy brand new clothes with each size you drop. Although if you're like me, you could go shopping in your own closet! I was lucky enough to keep all of my smaller sized clothes. It feels great to reach in a part of my closet that's been off limits for so long.

Walmart, Target and Old Navy, or Sam's Club and Costco (though they have a smaller selection). I've also found some good unused stuff on ebay with a little digging.

Target. I love what Target sells, and all well priced.

I like the danskin things from wal mart

Walmart has some good prices, but I also like some of the Aerie by American Eagle workout clothes. If you look around enough on the website, you can find some good deals (I got an AMAZING sports bra for under $10).

My vote is for Target also. I generally check the Sunday ads and have managed to get a lot of their Champion line items on sale.

Whatever you buy be sure to bend over & see if they are sheer when you do. Sometimes the bottoms expose a lot.

Target! 10 years, Baby. Never fails.

Walmart and thrift shops. I always walk thru the clearance racks at Walmart to see what they have. I only buy "wicking" shirts & shorts for working out because they're more comfortable.

H&M has a great range.

Target has a good line of workout clothing. It's cheaper than most other places (except Walmart) and it lasts pretty well. I don't recommend WalMart because their stuff isn't as sturdy. Their medium impact Hanes sports bras aren't bad, but that's about it. I'm a gym rat and burn through gym clothes so i go for things that last...

Oh, and i wear black, because it doesn't show sweat...

Do not cheap out on either shoes or a decent sportsbra. This'll kill you.

Hope this helps...

I get either the Danskin stuff from Walmart, or the Champion brand stuff from Target. Both cheap, but decent enough quality for what you pay!

Walmart carries Danskin....most under $15 per piece

Just about all of my workout clothes are from Old Navy. I stock up when they're having a sale (like Stuff and Save) to save even more.

Academy has good stuff as well.

Just remember though that cheap workout clothes may not last very long and may not give you the best support.

At first I was all about buying cheap until I started to actually invest in my workout clothes and noticed the difference.

Under Armour, Champion, and Old Navy (LOVE their sports bra!) are the brands I stick with.
Old Navy tends to have some awesome sales - I use their tanks as workout shirts. Very comfy!
I always check the sales rack at Target.
Most of my under armour stuff has come from Ebay and I often check out their outlet.

I believe your workout outfit can give you that extra push if you feel awesome in it! = )

If you're still losing weight, you could look at thrift stores. I've gone to thrift stores for disposable clothes for caving, and liked some of them so much that when I didn't destroy them by squeezing through tight spaces, I brought them home and kept wearing them.

I actually like the Danskin yoga pants and shorts from Walmart, for cotton/spandex workout wear. If you're tiny, the extra small may not be small enough though.

Wow!

Thanks for all of the suggestions.

@WannaDizzolve: Ha.. yes, I know shoes and sports bras are important! I won't skimp on those at all.

@Cina04: Well, I'm not looking for dirt cheap stuff, just stuff that costs less that $45 per piece. Something within the $20 to $30 price range is what I am looking for.

H&M definitely. Cheap, durable and flattering!

My recommendation is TJ Maxx and Marshalls. They got branded, good quality items dumped by other stores because the clothes are either slightly imperfect, out-of-season, or no longer have complete sizes. Try different TJ Maxx and Marshalls because they tend to carry different quality of clothing based on the neighborhood. A store in Atlanta Buckhead will carry better quality stuff than one in, say, Buford Highway area. At the same or slightly higher price than Walmart & Target, you'll get stuff with 100% more quality.

I just bought some really nice workout clothes at Marshall's.

Target. Most exercise clothing on sale this week. Just bought shorts & shirts, cheap.

^ this. and Ross. If you have a Ross near you, you can check them out. I've gotten a couple shirts there for $3 each.

Target or Costco

Walmart. Nice and cheap, and you don't really have to worry about wearing it out too quickly. If you're losing weight, you will grow out of the shirts long before you have to worry about it.
