Hi Just wondering where you get your exercise clothes from? I went to luluemon on the weekend and it cost me 165.00 for one tshirt and one pair workout pants. Does anyone else find that expensive? It seem most people at my gym get their workout clothes there.
It just seems expensive to me. Anyone have suggetions of where they shop that doesnt cost arm and leg and doesnot look cheap?

    I figure, it's not a fashion show. Kohl's, Macy's, Target. Wherever I can find something I'm comfortable in.

    A typical outfit at the gym for me (T, bottoms, sports bra) probably runs me around $50-60 for the outfit, on the expensive side.

    I have some Lulu stuff and I like it, but I like my $20 Old Navy yoga pants just as much. I get my sports bras and tanks tops (plain cotton, nothing fancy) from Target.

    I'm obsessed with TJMaxx- I get the cutest workout capris from them- seriously- all under 25$- quality pants- that hold up really well (I don't put mine in the drier either though)- I typically have a hard time walking in there without spending at least 40 bucks on new clothes- I'm OBSESSED. I have problems.

    sport's bra's come from Wal-Mart

    Tank tops come from Target or Old Navy

    Dcks sporting goods has some okay prices- their shorts seem priced better than capri's but YMMV

    Old Navy hands down is my favorite for cost and fit, Target second, and if you have a TJMaxx or Marshall's near you, there are great name brans for deals! I got a Nike DriFit shirt for $17 - retails for $40!
    I find that I like to reward myself with workout clothes, so I'd be spending a fortune if I shopped at Lulu! Yikes!

    I got some stuff from Sports Authority and Kmart. Lulu has gorgeous stuff, but it is expensive.

    Sportsbras: runningwarehouse.com or movingcomfort.com when they're on sale
    Shorts: lululemon - they have the ONE pair of shorts I *love* to run in. It's a splurge for sure, but I've had the same set of 4 shorts for 3+ years now and they keep going strong
    Tops: nordstroms rack, Lucy.com (on sale)
    Running capris/tights: athleta.com (again, usually on sale)

    It can get pricey, but for me, it's motivation and an investment. I feel good when I know I look good and am wearing cute things. It just works for me.

    Moving Comfort sports bra a must! it's worth every penny ... I get mine from titlenine.com

    The rest, I find at discount stores, TJ Maxx, Ross, Target, the thrift stores. everything is either black gray or pink -- it all goes together.

    The only thing worth spending the $ on is a pair of good shoes and a bra.

    Most of mine is from Old Navy and Winners (scored an awesome New Balance sports bra there for $20). I sometimes go to the Reebok warehouse near me too.

    Kohl's. I love their exercise department. Sizes are good, prices are reasonable.

    Tribe Sports (https://shop.tribesports.com/), they make pretty high end stuff, but around a 1/2 of the price. I love the shirt and pants I got from them.

    Walmart! They have the dri-fit material I like (do not like cotton, I sweat too much). Everything (socks and sports bras inc) except my shoes come from there. They have help up nicely through my loss.

    I still wear my old 2XL shirt on top of my sport bra. I'm not spending $100s for something to wipe up my sweat. That being said I got great stuff at Costco, Marshalls, & TJ Max. My golden rule of shopping - if it costs more then $20 it aint worth it!

    This isn't expensive, it's insanity. I could see if you were a professional athlete, making millions who needs clothing that is functional to a sport, but you're not. I'm glad you have decided to join a gym, but jeebus, you’re there to do work, not put on a fashion show.

    The biggest investment you should be making is foot wear. Next, would be a sport bra I guess (I don't have bewbs so I wouldn't know). Shorts and a t-shirt should cost no more than $40 (should be old crap you tore or stained and can't wear out).

    FYI: All the overpriced crap people buy because they see pro athletes wearing it... the pros get it for free.
