    I love Danskin at Walmart. There definitely is a big difference between working out in a Fruit of the Loom t-shirt and sweat pants and clothing that is moisture wicking - the clothes don't feel as weighed down and wet.

    If your looking for variety and budget friendly, I love Walmart - I know, Walmart. But it's really inexpensive, and you won't feel bad about throwing away a top that you've worn many times to Spin and Hot Yoga. Their pants are really inexpensive as well.

    I just don't spend much on workout clothes as I really only work out in them. If you wear it on the weekends or running errands, then I can see spending more. Then Marshalls and Ross would be my go to.

    I like the ones at Forever 21. Cheap, stylish, and nice quality. I'll ocassionally buy at other sport stores ONLY if on sale/clearance.

    I really like stuff from Under Armour, I just go hit up their sales and the outlet store.

    I finally broke down and bought some workout gear from Fabletics and I love it! The material is thicker, so you don't have to worry about your leggings being see through. I have found that some of the workout gear from Walmart and Old Navy are thinner and are see through.

    Sports Authority has a lot to choose from on their clearance rack usually. Also, TJ Maxx and Marshall's have good athletic brands for reasonable prices (i.e. $10-15 tanks and $15-$20 workouts pants of all kinds).

    I've gotten all my workout gear at Goodwill! Most stores have an "active wear" rack. There is a wide variety of brands, styles, etc. Of course, it's hit and miss, but when you "hit" it's a great find. They only sell stuff in very good condition and some of it is new, close outs from local stores etc at a fraction of the retail price. Certain stuff is half price every week. (half of the usual Goodwill price). This has been especially helpful as I keep shrinking out of my previous clothes.

    I know a lot of people frown at buying active apparel secondhand but I agree with this suggestion. ESPECIALLY in university towns...I have found tons of barely worn higher quality athletic apparel in thrift shops, including expensive swimwear from college swimmers that looks brand new.

    Funny thing about thrift stores is some of them don't know what they have. Lululemon, Kuhl, and Patagonia for three dollars alongside Nike and Puma for ten dollars. hehe

    Thank you all so much for the advice. I'm excited to go shopping, coming from someone who hates shopping, to get work out gear! Old Navy and kohls here I come!

    Another fav I've used this fall is Marshalls/TJMaxx for finding underamour, adidas, etc for the really cheap. Good quality stuff that isn't see though. I try to give a gander at their racks and set a dollar limit for myself like "no bottoms over $16" etc. I find that helps too.
