Cute but CHEAP workout clothes?

Old Navy is currently having a workout clothes sale. $8 sports bras and $15 compression tops.

YES. I'm a little weary of Old Navy but a lot of people are saying really good things. Plus $8 for a sports bra, can't go wrong there.

I can guarantee an $8 sports bra from Old Navy is not going to give you support if you are larger breasted...

You can guarantee that the bra won't work? How can you guarantee that? I'm very chesty, and I buy cheap bras in a size too small and get excellent support. I get the 3 pack at Sam's for 12 bucks... and they work awesome. And they're half the price of the ON ones...

Ya know, I get all of my stuff at the second hand store....I figure I could use the extra money on food...

Sorry... I can't buy gym clothes second hand. That's too much like getting used underwear to me. NOT happening.

I am not huge breasted but I am a D cup... I have tried "cheaper" sports bras and basically had to wear 3 to keep my breasts from bouncing up and down. I am a runner and do high impact cardio so while they may be okay for walking, weight lifting, very low impact, at least for me and my experience, I needed to buy a more expensive bra (Moving Comfort - $50) to keep my girls under control and be comfortable.
So I guess if you are flat chested or don't do high impact activities, you may be okay...

As I said--I'm quite chesty (DD). I am also a runner, and I workout hard (HIIT, sprints, weights). The cheap ones in a size too small are fine for me. I will NOT spend 50.00 on a freaking bra that is going to get sweaty and nasty and need replacing in a short amount of time. No way, no how. Even if I have to use TWO at a time of the 4.00 bras--I can go through wearing them and replacing six times before the one would be paid for. Not even on my worst day.

actually at a DD, you can also get goddess, elomi and under armor, all are in the 30-40 range. and all are good for high impact stuff. i was able to squeee into them and they worked well BUT the straps are not made to support so i use them for low impact stuff

i'm an I cup (yep I :laugh: ) and I wear an enell or shock absorber. both are around $65 and they both last a long time. in fact i've had my enell for over a year now and have only had to buy a new one because the old one got too big to be supportive enough for high impact stuff. i now use it on my low impact days

oh yeah i also do sprint HIIT, jump rope, plyometrics..

not trying to convince you but just putting out more information for anyone else who might be thinking they have to make due with wearing 2 or more bras. trust me if i can hold these I cup puppies down, DD ain't no problem :laugh:

Old Navy. I love their stuff. I buy nothing else there, but their active wear holds up shockingly well. Seriously, I have lived in their yoga pants.

i LOVE these !!!

I just want to say, I know this isn't the answer you are looking for, but sometimes investing in good stuff is worth it. If you're in the process of losing enough weight to change sizes, by all means- don't bother- but if you're nearing your goal size certain pieces are worth it. For example, my cold-weather running tightsare made of magic and worth every penny, and my compression tights I wear the rest of the year are, as well. I wash them delicately and preserve their wear as much as possible, but I basically wear the same pair of compression tights every time I run like 80% of the year- those bad boys have hundreds of miles on them, and they're perfectly good for next year. And when they're made well, they don't move around, or bunch up awkwardly, or start crawling up your butt for some reason at the 8 mile mark, and they're flattering and have features where you need them (like key/gu pockets). Might not make any difference if you don't need the lasting functionality, though. Good bras are another worthwhile investment.

i'm actually surprised at the quality of old navy workout stuff these past few seasons. normally you look at old navy stuff and you get a rip in the seams, much less wash and dry it :laugh:

i'm pretty rough on my stuff, and i've several pants from them that i bought several months ago that are still look OK. no holes, no see through butt etc. in fact the only reason why i'm retiring most of these is because they have gotten too big and no longer compress .

granted i can't speak much about the workout tops since i dont really buy those from ON, but the compression capris and pants are pretty darn good for $25.

I actually have some old navy yoga pants from around 2001 that are still OK but a litte faded.

H&M has OK stuff too.

I buy all of my workout clothes from JCP. Its always on sale and the quality is excellent. I just bought $48 worth of items yesterday and got six new pieces!

Idk if this has been said already but I just joined pvbody and I really like it!!

It's a subscription box that mails you one outfit based on your "style quiz" (you can exchange if you don't like) they mail you one box a month so a top and bottom. The key is the box is only 50/month but the items they give you value between 130 and 150 dollars for the outfit! They're really high quality items for a cheap price! It's a great service. And you can skip any month you want!

Also I like TJMaxx for cheap workout clothes too

Totally was down for this, but I went to it, and it is 99/month

No way~ I just went to their site and it clearly says 49.95. If you look around their FB page you can also find people who promote their brand and get 20% off. I swear its $49.95 and it's a great deal. I love the stuff they send me!

Walmart has some cute V-neck wicking material T-shirts for $6, with side seems. Crew neck without the side seems are $5.

I go to goodwill...you'd be amazed what you find there

Old Navy is having a big sale right now.
