    I don't wear anything special to the gym. Sweats or shorts with a t-shirt.

    I just use the champion c9 line from target for the vast majority of workouts - I've got one cold weather outfit, and one indoor gym outfit for right now.

    Giant Tiger has most of what I need. Yoga pants ($10), I sometimes cut them into shorts. Tank tops ($8). They don't carry bras my size, so I have to hunt for those whenever I'm out. The prices are lower than Wal-Mart and the items are higher quality.

    I either get my workout clothes from Target (their Champion C9 gear is so comfy and affordable!) or TJ Maxx/Marshalls.

    I get my sports bra from REI or TjMaxx: I just like really firm support (even for my small breasts).
    I get my compression capris from Old Navy when they have a great sale ~$10/pr, and tank tops.
    My problem w/ the ON capris are that they often ride down. I don't like to squeeze muffin top so I buy 1 size larger so they tend to slide down during Zumba. They're fine when I'm weight lifting.

    I'd be curious too because no matter the brand, pants on my butt are always see through. :sweat:

    My bottoms are ACX Sport, never a see-through moment, no matter how bendy I get. I'm mortified for strangers when I can see through their pants.

    This has happened to me sadly. Ooops. Very embarrassing.

    I get my pants at Victoria's Secret of all places. I have one pair that have survived about 2 years of the gym and about 25 Spartan Races. Those suckers are tough.

    I would maybe shop at a TJ Maxx/Ross store and see what they have. Try them on and move and see how they feel. Do some air squats and bend over to make sure the pants won't be sheer and see how they feel when you move.

    I've never worn them, but I have also heard REALLY good things about Old Navy and they have great sales.

    I got some great workout Capri leggings at Nordstrom Rack for $30. Brand Zella. They are high waisted so they stay up. My fave sports bra I got at TJ Maxx - brand New Balance.

    A mix of lulu/under armour/Nike. Plus comp shirts and some fun tanks from online. And my singlet.

    Because of this thread, I realize I have a ridiculous amount of under armour

    I've come to the conclusion that all training bottoms are see through at the bottom of a squat. Right size or not.

    TJmaxx- do a squat test in the store- squat- and or bend over and touch your toes and look at your a&& and make sure it's not completely see through.
    Some are better than others.

    Also- keep in mind if it's a PRINTED fabric - and the inside fabric is white- you may appear to be see through- it won't actually be- but it may just seriously look like it.

    I find that Marshalls has a great selection. Finding workout tanks during winter has been a challenge. I don't get that; I wear tanks year-round to workout.

    I've noticed that too. I buy most of my tanks at Kohl's and in January, they had just one style of tank - all the rest of the tops were short-sleeved. I buy most of my capris from Marshalls except for Kohl's Fila sport capris "live in motion." They are perfect for me! There is a side pocket for my iPod, and the waist is right above belly button. I buy a size smaller than normal for compression.

    My favorite sports bra is from Victoria Secret. (Zip up with inner bra)

    What ever is on sale...either online through the adidas sale section or at Winners/Marshalls (TJMax stores here in Canada)...with a small amount of Costco. Don't want to buy too much as I want not to fit it in the near future.

    As far as bottoms I am partial to Nike compression and Old Navy compression. I buy all my Nike at TJ Maxx, Marshals or Ross. My tops are Old Navy, Nike, free tanks from nutrition stores and statement tanks. Even with Old Navy I only buy on sale. I also like the tanks from Lookhuman, animalhearted, flexcomics and puppiesmakemehappy.

    Walmart had a great line of compression leggings and capris. I have several pairs of them. I haven't had any issues with them being see through. They also have really good sports bras. I think the brand is Avia. Lots of different colors and they have cute strap designs in the back. I also like Old Navy's tanks. They have cute cut outs in the back too.

    Mostly Lululemon. I have some stuff from Nike, Under Amour, Zella, Hind, Brooks, and Athleta. I am not a fan of Target or Old Navy's stuff because while cheap the quality and fit are very subpar.

    I like Mika Yoga Wear for yoga & pole. I've gotten some good deals at Old Navy, but these are the things I wear at home only b/c it's super cheap which means super see through b/c the material is so thin. When I ran and did spin I wore Under Armour.

    C9 from Target or Tekgear from Kohl's for workout capris. No place special for tops. I like longer t-shirts and they tend to just be old worn in shirts or free event tees that I cut the collars off of.
