Where do you buy your gym clothes from?

Yes, I wear whatever I feel comfortable in, plus safe (for example, no loose clothing while doing things where it might get caught on equipment).

I row, mostly on water, but machines in Winter; and cycle, on a bike in OK weather but stationary in Winter. I don't like spending money on clothes. My workout "uniform" is leggings, usually whatever was affordable in fabrics I prefer, at Costco or Walmart; and a T-shirt, usually from one of the craft stores (Michael's, JoAnn, etc.) where they sell them very cheaply on sale. When I used to go to an actual gym (pre-pandemic), I wore the same stuff.

Some people like technical fabrics; I don't.

I do buy more technical jackets or wind/rain pants for the shoulder seasons from specialty sources, because I need some special features in those.

I'm not stylish. Not even close.

Anything I wear has to be comfortable..
Most of my gym/workout clothes comes from Lululemon and the Equinox shop ..

@Thighsandpizza Ps … men’s wear .. check out Vuori work out clothes… sooooooo super soft. I was walking through my gyms shop and I was obsessed with how soft their clothes were. Most of the cool stuff was mens. They are also online.

@yirara - re: brands, I’m cool with a brand logo if it’s quality. It’s like Porsche.. if I like it, I guess I’m buying the brand. I wouldn’t buy something just for the logo cache.

Call me cheap. Over the decades I've accumulated dozens of t-shirts for random reasons, as gifts, as prizes for completing a 5k run, for a design which at one point caught my eye. My job asks me to only wear collared shirts, which for me is almost entirely polos, so my t's are only worn on weekends usually. Thus about half of my t's got redesignated as workout shirts, which is just fine for lifting and treadmill use. Pair them with Walmart shorts and I'm good to go.

Champion/Hanes website has some nice stuff at very reasonable prices and it lasts and lasts. I use their loose joggers to wear home from aquafit. (Because it’s an utter PITA to put on dry clothes when you’re even slightly damp. I’m going to invent a giant ceiling mounted crochet hook to pull off wet sports bras and bathing suit tops, too, and some kind of bear-like scratching post to pull them down and on when changing from sweaty gym gear to bathing suits. Locker rooms are the single worst part of my day. I swear changing damp clothes hurts my shoulders 100x worse than any curl or fly.)

Viv Collection (via Amazon or direct through their own website) has “looser” fitting close fitting leggings that last forever, can be machine dried, beaten, abused, and still come out looking great and unfazed. I started using their leggings as jammies when I moved to different workout leggings and bet I’ve worn them 100x or more. No exaggeration- they look like new.

98 degrees or RBX, available on Amazon and often waaaay cheaper at TJMAxx and sister stores, also great quality.

My absolute favorite is Yoga Democracy. If you’re on their mailing list they send substantial discounts, plus frequent buyer discount. Stretchy, don’t pull down, made from recycled bottles, bright colors which don’t fade, and dry quickly (and I’m usually drenched following a hot class or two). They also never accumulate smell or odor like other workout gear. I machine wash them and hang dry- would not put them in a dryer. Very form fitting, but flattering. The high waistband is comfy and holds that extra skin in like a champ without feeling like Spanx, even if you stand on your head, lol. I think they go up to 3X, too.

I couldn’t work out in a T, or anything else cotton. It would stick to me and just be gross and clammy. I wore a nice cotton tank to the gym last week and smacked myself upside the head afterwards. Ugh. Never again.

Lulu- sucks since they discontinued their Cool Racer tanks. And they seem to think every woman is clamoring for revealing midriff tanks. Ummmm, no. I simply want to work out comfortably, not be some Instagram poster girl. Their leggings are OK, a little suffocatingly hot in the fabric dept , but I still carry a grudge from the way I was treated at several LuLu stores in my obese days. There is a secret part of me that hopes every one of those young gals who treated me like that ultimately got fat, too. “We don’t” (sniff, haughty look) “carry anything in your size” (eye roll) is the LuLu attitude.

Not nice I know, but they could have used a good dose of “woke”, body positivity, and just plain kindness in their training.

Niyama Sol. Celebrity endorsed. Less than impressed with the quality. Even the busy prints are see through, waist bands got loose quickly, visible fade after first wash.
