    Primark!

    I tried some "branded" and well reviewed leggings from MyProtein (seamless, RRP £32) and the £8 Primark ones are thicker, more comfortable and no camel toe. Put me off splurging on Gymshark lol

    I really like Hylete shorts and their shirts are pretty good as well. Other than that, I wear a lot of under armour and oakley shirts and soffee shorts (mainly because I am tall and they come in longs). For spandex, I have actually found that Eastbay spandex are as good as the name brands and at a fraction of the price. I use Inov8 shoes because of the light weight and I like the slight heel drop.

    I'm not serious enough to justify spending a small fortune on UA or lululemon or anything like that.

    I honestly am obsessed with old navy activewear. I would’ve never thought to shop there until I tried on one of their work or leggings. It’s Affordable and better than everything else I own!!

    I like Old Navy too but ONLY their active wear. Their regular clothes suck (I've been burned a few times in the last year, I've learned my lesson)

    Girlfriend Collective - their clothing is made from recycled water bottles and fishing nets, AND they're beautiful and come in many colors! But most importantly, they're stretchy, compressive but not too much, high waisted, not see-through at all, and they're a great price compared to other, bigger brands. Oh, and they come in a lot of different sizes.

    Tops - Under Armour
    Shorts - Feed Me Fight Me and Beast Worx. I've owned several pairs of shorts that I've worn/washed numerous times and they seem to last forever!

    Under Armour and I usually shop their outlet. Asics Gel Nimbus for my shoes, because I under pronate. Basically any kind of capris. Not a fan of leggings or long pants.....even in the winter, in Iowa.

    I'm a Ross/TJmaxx shopper. But if I want to spend a little more for decent quality I really like Kora clothing. Plus when you buy you get to pick which charity you want to support. They always have promo codes running so it makes it nice! Like Gymshark but less pricey. IMO.

    I like they donate to charity. May need to check them out!

    I love old navy high waisted compression capris.
    Have tried so many brands and styles but these are always 100% squat and RDL proof. And they make them in maternity, score!
    Tops, really any thing. I like Soybu long sleeve tops on amazon for lifting.

    Underarmour or Champion are my favorites. Converse for lifting, always.

    Whatever (within reason) you're comfortable wearing. Shoes are very personal and should be fitted to you, there isn't any one brand that's best for everyone.

    Also, workout tights and leggings are NOT the same thing. I've seen so many pairs of underwear under leggings because many ladies do not realize this.

    My basic workout attire: cheap tank tops and weird running shirts (I have a thing for funny shirts).

    Sports bras: Adidas, the only brand I can regularly find medium to heavy support that don't have built in cups (I'm very small chested and the built in cups are generally too big and defeat the entire purpose of a sports bra).

    Running: running tights. UnderArmor, Adidas, Reebok....whatever is on sale and actual running tights.

    Lifting: unisex futbol shorts, long enough to not expose myself, short enough to not bunch up behind my knees.
  • I am a big fan of Namastetics for tights, also Lorna Jane and Ryderwear I love too. I have nearly Nike everything else, if it's not it's Lorna Jane... I'm a total fan girl, I love the quality, they last forever, and they fit great

    Better Bodies for me. OK it's a little expensive but the materials are top notch and they are well made and don't go out of shape. The compression tights are fab!

    So my favorite pants I have worn since I was my heaviest and are just now too big were c9 from Target.

    My go-to pants now are Avia from Walmart, saw a youtuber review their activewear and decided I'd try it for the price. I really like them, and the pants came in PETITIE for workout pants. Can't beat that for less than $13. I bought pants and leggings, the pants I wear for athleisure and sometimes gym, the leggings are just gym.

    I bought some cheap shirts off Amazon I couldn't be happier with, like $20 for 3 shirts.

    That is what I'm wearing in my picture and I'm super happy with my cheap workout gear.

    I might try the Avia brand. I got a pair of danskin brand workout leggings from walmart and I hate them. I am constantly having to pull them up

    I'm wearing the pants right now. They aren't perfect, they have the type of waistband with a wide waistband with a narrow elastic in it. This bothers some people, it doesn't me. But the fabric is nice (so far) and the fit is good. When I see the pants are clean in my drawer, I go for them first. I just got the leggings and have worn them once to work out (the Walmart I went to first didn't have the leggings, only the pants, otherwise I wouldn't have bought them, and I'm glad I did buy them!) but I liked them. I'll buy them again. My C9 ones from Target were thinner, which was great in the summer. These are a little heavier weight, comparatively.

    I purchased a few pairs of Myprotein leggings so I will update you all on how I like them. I got a killer deal and just couldn't resist. 2 hoodies and 2 pairs of leggings for $67! Yes, please and thank you!

    I really like Old Navy’s activewear line and also have a lot from Xersion at JCPenney. Both go on sale a lot, and are still a decent price if they’re not on sale.

    The "clearance" brand at Academy is usually cheaper!!! $5 futbol shorts, $8 running tights (aka not see through when bent over), heck yeah!

    I'm super cheap and not going to lie. I get alot of my work out clothes from a thrift store. There is a good size thrift store here that gets new or like new clothes in quite often. I refuse to pay more then $4 for a pair of workout pants that hopefully won't fit in a month or 2. I also like the cheap thin shirts at Wal-Mart that they sell for under $4. I actually just found a bunch of tank tops at Wal-Mart for $1 each.

    Wait.

    I'm confused.

    What's the point of wearing running tights if they're not see-thru when bending over?

    Athleta here as well. Sometimes I have luck at old navy but athleta stuff is true to sizeand lasts for years.
