Curating a full workout wardrobe doesn’t mean you have to rack up hundreds of dollars. In fact, you can find an array of cheap workout clothes including leggings, T-shirts, sports bras, joggers, and even exercise dresses at sites such as Amazon, Target, Aerie, and Nordstrom. And if you’re a fan of shopping name brands like Nike, Lululemon, and Adidas—but your wallet doesn’t exactly share that love—you’re in luck, because these retailers often stock up their sale section every season.
Let’s face it, doing laundry in between consistent workouts can be a drag, and having a solid rotation of clothing to wear will make your life so much easier. And affordable basics work just as well—sometimes, even better than some of the brands you might be seeing all over social media. Being equipped with squat-proof activewear is enough to give you a confidence boost at the gym or during a HIIT class.
To help you, we’ve discovered the best places to shop for cheap workout clothes to match your budget. These activewear pieces are actually dependable, so you can stock up on all the moisture-wicking, comfortable, compression-fit workout gear for your next gym session (or for your WFH athleisure).
