I'd like to find good quality, good value sportswear clothes. Don't care about labels but some interesting clothes, that aren't pink/lilac! would go down well.

Interested to know where you shop online or IRL

    Next for sports t-shirts. Quick dry kind. This year the short sleeved black one is very very good. Nike for tights. Usually get those at Next or Sports Direct. Expensive but they last for years. I've worn out cheap ones in months. Nike running tops with half zip and long sleeves, I go up 2 sizes for length. Sports Direct for running jackets. Usually cheap karrimor stuff there but their leggings falll down on me when I run. Tesco and Asda usually do good quick dry t-shirts some seasons.

    I use Wiggle online, sometimes sportsshoes.com

    That said, I'm a runner and cyclist that uses the gym, rather than a gym goer.

    I'm in Ireland but we've similar shops. I picked up some capris for running in primark, tops in tk maxx and sports direct (online). Also got good bras and leggings in tk maxx. I wear mostly black and dark grey btw!

    Sports direct usually with the odd treat (£80 Nike running leggings) from running shops

    I buy from Sweaty Betty, Lululemon, and Yoga Rebels. None of them cheap, but I workout every day, so I want good quality & longevity. I've bought cheap stuff from places like TK Maxx in the past, but they never last more than a few weeks, so I think buying cheap stuff is a false economy.

    I also think I deserve nice stuff when I'm working so hard!

    But both the Nike & Reebok outlets online are good too for bargains. I sometimes get stuff from MacArthur Glen too. But mostly I shop online. Sweaty Betty have two really good sales a year, I stock up then.
