Where are some places you go to get cheap fitness clothes or what sites do you use? I recently went to Target & Walmart the other night, but they didn't have anything in my size.

    Old Navy
    Target
    Ross
    Amazon (surprisingly)

    Have all worked well for me.

    That's okay. I'm sure I'll figure it out

    They closed the only thrift store in town a few months ago. Not enough people were going to it. The goodwill here also closed their store about 2 years ago.

    You should not skimp on workout clothes. you want to look your best at the gym.

    For me, people are looking at my body not necessarily my clothes but for 99% of everyone else out there, they need the clothes to be the focus, not their body.

    it would help to at least give a size or male/female. For men Ross and Marshalls is a great spot to find workout clothes, i am not a small guy as I wear XXL but there are 3x, 4x there. I have also gone to Dillards during their big clearances. Maybe offerup? Facebook market place?

    I was about to say this. Old tees and shorts are dirt cheap at Thrift stores. That's all you really need unless you want something different, but odds are you can find that too.

    I'm female, size Medium & Large in shirts & size Large in leggings. True size is 13 for jeans & shorts. There's an outlet mall here, but it's mostly stuff like Forever21 & Nike footwear with a few higher end brands for jewelry or clothes. They closed Aeropostale last year for remodeling so I haven't been back there since. They recently opened Ross here & I got a couple shirts from there, but everything else was too small for me. I might have to drive to the bigger cities for some of these places, but I'm going to check out the online stores first today for some of these places. Thanks for the replies!

    Look in your closet. Do you have shorts and a t-shirt? Sweatpants?

    I don't have any sweatpants & only have 2 pairs of shorts one of those pairs doesn't fit me anymore & they're denim. All my shirts are dress up blouses. I know I need to go shopping, but just don't really know where to go. We'll be in a bigger city this weekend when we go get groceries so I can check out the thrift stores there when we're there. ☺️

    Just remember there's nothing special about most workout clothes.

    You can pay a fortune for moisture wicking and "features" but all you need to get started is something comfortable to wear.

    I second the 'vote' for TJ Maxx - and for JCPenney (they have Champion brand stuff that's pretty good).

    I like Kohl’s leggings - if you hit a sale you can get good quality brands inexpensively. Online I’ve had good luck with zulily’s house brand Marika. Zulily also has good Gaiam sales, I’m wearing a yoga shirt right now that I got from zulily.

    Try the men's section of Target - not only do they have cool band and super hero t-shirts for $10, but they are cut bigger in the shoulders and I find them more comfortable for workouts.

    Shorts are hit or miss for me at Target - the yoga shorts or bike shorts tend to fit me better than the regular athletic shorts, but I generally have to try them on and sometimes go up a size, and sometimes they don't even have them...the running shorts never seem to fit me right.

    Wall-mart might have compression shorts, which some women swear are more comfortable, but I have not tried those myself.

    Poshmark, if you already know what brands you like! A lot of times you can find items that still have the tags on at a bargain!

    You mean I wasted $200 for mittens built into my running rain jacket for nothing?! 🤯
    You’re right of course. It’s too easy to get caught up in all the flashy junk. Just run

    I usually get mine at Ross, which is pretty hit-or-miss since they kinda just have whatever they can get.

    Try to find a consignment store near you! I go to one called Plato’s Closet and it is a goldmine of not only amazing fitness wear, but shoes, jeans, dresses.. and caters to all sizes. Not to mention you save a TON of $$.

    Great. Now I wanna go shopping.

    I like to shop the clearance sections of Sierra trading post and REI online. Sometimes I look at Dicks, Target, or TJ Maxx. But STP and REI have good quality gear at discount prices. I’m not usually very pleased with the quality or durability of Target clothing.
