Nike is expensive but I love the quality of their pants and sports bras! As for shirts though I'm not sure where I should go.

I also check Amazon for running shoes!

Do you have any brands or websites you buy your stuff from? :)

    Kohl's. There is usually a sale and I usually have Kohl's cash.

    Old Navy or Marshalls. And for running shoes, Asics does it for me every time.

    I like cheap shirts. I tend to go with TJ Maxx, Marshalls etc--so I can get better quality shirts for less. I even like cut up tees and sometimes go to H&M.

    I don't really like cheap bottoms though. I treat myself to Lululemon but have found some less expensive brands I like: RBX...okay just one brand.

    TJ Maxx is my top spot for running clothes. My TJ Maxx carries a lot of RBX, which I think is pretty good quality for the price. I also cruise Amazon for sales. They discount Saucony clothing a lot and I like the brand. I also check the outlet stores near my house. The Hanes outlet carries Champion brand and the Off 5th Avenue outlet often has high end stuff from brands that are too exclusive for me to know about, but the price is right and good quality, so I pick some stuff up there too.

    I second Kohls, TJMaxx and Marshalls, I also have a store called Gabriel Brother's near me that is similar in concept to those discount stores, but cheaper (clothing may be overstocks, misprinted, small tears, etc) which doesn't bother me because I have to get new clothes as I lose the weight anyway, might as well save some money. But the quality is also a mixed bag.

    I have not tried Old Navy- maybe I will look at their workout stuff.

    I don't have a lot of money to spend on clothes, so I go to Target or WalMart. WalMart had Danskin workout tees for $4.96 each, can't go wrong there. So far the stuff has held up just fine.

    Victoria's Secret for capris, leggings, sports bras and tanks. Even socks occasionally because they tend to do free give-aways with purchases. I used to buy Xersion brand from JC Penny but VS is much better quality. Doesn't get stretched out or fade.

    Nike or Asics for shoes so those I wait to get on sale at JC Penny.

    I just stopped being frugal on needed gear to exercise in. And if I find something I love and works, I get two pairs. I have spent way too much on cheap stuff that never stayed up, tore up in the wash or just hands down did not the job, so I get what I pay for and get the good stuff.

    I wear Victoria Secret awesome sports bras, nike and under armour running gear (and of course I buy some tanks off the sales racks) and I wear Saucony running shoes.

    one exception: Walmart sells Avia Womens Active bike shorts and I run in these only because they are not compression and do not ride up my thighs when running down the street. They $8.00 a pair and I just re-ordered 4 pair of these, I wore these shorts out!

    My favorite leggings are Kirkland (Costco) brand that I got last year. Thick material that keeps it's stretch, zippered pocket in back. Just love them, especially for $17. I hope they get them back in again this year. The mediums I got last year are getting too big :)

    I also love the Victoria's Secret tights & especially bras. I love the way their compression tights fit - especially in the tush. Very supportive, like a push up bra for my poor sagging behind! And the bras are the only ones that make me look like I still have boobs. Cheap bras flatten me out like a 12 year old boy. They're pricey, but I'm watching sales and slowly stocking up.

    Edited to add: Add me to the list that likes TJ Maxx for tops. Huge selection for under $10.

    Goodwill! They have an Activewear section with all the brands & quality you pay $$ retail for. It can be hit & miss if you something specific right now, but check back frequently & you can build up quite the fitness wardrobe. Plus you're helping others.

    Forever 21, Ardene (in Canada), sometimes Lululemon if someone gets me a gift card. I like Winners which is like TJ Maxx if I have time to sift through stuff.

    My main go to is Marshalls and TJ Maxx for Nike stuff. I like Old Navy and as far as tanks go anything that I think is cute so those places mentioned plus Styles 4 Less, Lookhuman.com, Ross. Because I like to try on shoes in the store and then wear them around the house before I get real use out of them I usually do New Balance outlet. Occasionally Zappos with a discount. But TJ Maxx and Marshalls have a pretty good selection of basic workout shoes.

    Lucy. Not cheap, but flattering, wears easily, and holds up well.

    Athleta also when there is a good sale. There capris stay put and are so breathable.

    Academy. I love the BCG brand. Cheap price, good quality. I've got shorts, compression shorts, leggings, capris, tanks, and sports bras galore from that brand and love them all. I also have a couple pairs of Xersion shorts from JCP. I've had them for years and they still look brand new. For shoes, I typically go with Nike. I had a pair of Under Armor ones before my latest Nike ones that were great until I tore them up. I get shoes from Academy or Finish Line. For t-shirts, I'm a college student so I go to games or activities around campus. My T-Shirt collection is ridiculous at this point lol

    I love Athleta and Lululemon because the colors and prints are great. Athleta Renew racer back tanks are my favorite, I have every color. They have a high neck so don't have to worry about the girls making an appearance during runs, tennis or yoga

    Academy. Whatever's on the sale rack under $15, or their BCG brand. I really don't care that much, I think most of my workout t-shirts are from 5K races now...cotton included.

    I do wait for VS sales and buy their sports bras for $25. Those things are solid and last forever.
