    I think major brands have better quality. Best deals have been at Costco, Marshalls or TJMaxx

    Normally, I'm not a brand nut, but I actually agree with the workout clothing. Off brand stuff just falls apart on me - I must be hard on them or something!

    Anyway, New Balance gear always seems to fit me the best, but I will wear whatever I happen to find that fits well - I get all of my stuff (other than shoes) at Marshalls - I usually end up spending $8-15 per item, but I have also found plenty of $5 shorts and such there. Big Box stores like Sports Authority also have awesome end of season sales - I have nabbed stuff at 75-80% off there, making it cheaper than Walmart anyway.

    It Depends on what you want to spend. I bought my Capri pants - Activewear and High Impact Sports Bra (Danskins) from Walmart $12.00 ea. Shirts $7 and Low Impact Sports Bras $10 from Old Navy. Running Shoes - Addidas Nordstrom Rack $42 and 6 pairs Socks $7.99. Ear phones and water bottle $1 each dollar store. I'm trying not to spend too much while I'm in between sizes trying to get to my goal. I don't expect them to last for a year but I hope never to have to wear the bigger sizes again.

    Joe Fresh (Loblaws brand), Old Navy, Walmart for their affordability. I like to shop in the Nike, Reebok, Addidas, etc outlet stores for discounted workout clothes too :)

    Most of my stuff is from the thrift store, just have to go often to look. I did get a Groupon deal on some Marika capris and I have LOVED them. So comfortable. They good but bad thing is they are too big on me now, I have to pull them up during workouts. I do Aagree with others that Danskin is cheap and comfortable and has lasted through many washings. I heads up, wash your drifit clothes with some vinegar and baking soda if you want (extra rinse) and hang dry ( DO NOT USE A DRYER SHEET OR FABRIC SOFTENER) and they will last a lot longer and not retain an odor. I had some issues with some drifit shirts before I knew this. Nothing like your clothes stinking before you even get to work out in them!

    If you wanna get fancy, Black Milk gym line is amazing. Because... POCKETS. http://blackmilkclothing.com/collections/gym/products/bm-pro-sheer-ninja-pants

    Better Bodies makes amazing tights too.

    For tops, I just cut up old shirts from the thrift store into nice muscle tees.

    Workout gear can be quite pricey if you go for name brands like Under Armor, LuluLemon, Athletica, and MPG. I personally really like MPG, but I can't afford to buy their stuff all the time. A lot of my workout clothes come from Kohl's too (I like Tek as well) or from Target, the Champion brand. I have also bought workout clothes at TJ Maxx and Marshall's. They have some cute stuff if you don't mind spending the time to sort through it all,

    I've recently discovered MPG and love their pants. I find them at TJMAXX. Usually $25 a pair and $20 when they are on clearance. A bit more than the other brands at TJMAXX, but worth it.

    If I could honestly muster up to spend the money, I'd buy more UnderAmour gear. But since I'm such a cheap skate, CG wear from Target has done me fine.

    My favorite is Athleta. I adore their styling and the clothes function super well for me, although I have had to send some pairs of pants back because the rise is often too low for me. I consider high-quality workout clothing a worthy splurge, which is why they're my favorite. :) I've also been eyeing Title 9 lately. And the best sneakers for working out, running, and hiking I've found are Salomon-- soo comfortable! My feet and knees have had issues for ages and since using Salomon's (expensive!!!) sneakers I haven't had nearly as many problems. I think stuff from both those brands is worth the $$$, though if I can find them on sale that's better since I don't have a lot of extra money.

    I sometimes just buy whatever's on sale through Sierra Trading Post if I need a particular item like a wool top-- for things like that I don't care about the brand, just function/looks.

    When I need something super basic, like cotton leggings, I'll just get whatever's cheapest at the time.

    On top of the brands that have already been named, I'd add cw-x compression gear. Sometimes planetgear.com has some pretty good deals on a lot of different brands.
