It's that thread again! Workout clothes

[sy2502]

I know we periodically go through this, so bear with me.

Now that so many brick and mortar sporting goods stores are closing, I am finding myself shopping for my workout clothes online. I used to shop at sportswearusa.com but their website is down, not sure if they went out of business. So any suggestions for different places to shop?

[LunaLifts]

Dicks Sporting Goods? They have a good selection.

I normally shop at activewearusa.com but the site is down. I also shop a lot on Ebay and get some great items there.

Same. Especially with shoes.

Good call! I just ordered 3 workout tops from them. I intended to buy 1 but I couldn't decide between 3 different ones so I bought them all

Thanks a million for the suggestion!

I get a lot of stuff from 6pm.com. They usually have some pretty good deals and good filtering tools. Only downside is no customer reviews on the site.

Not gonna lie, I always get mine from Target, Sporting shops (Dicks, Big 5, Sports Authority though I believe they went outta business?), or randomly on clearance racks at dept stores haha.

Never have found a brand I liked enough to be brand loyal to...

Gasp and Better bodies are my go to's. They have a pretty cool womens line too. I've bought a lot off there for myself and my gf. She has loved what I've picked up for her. It's a little more on the expensive side so I'm sure that can turn a lot of people off.

i second target. i like the champion stuff and it's reasonably priced. the target by me actually just got a whole new display for the C9 line. i'm excited to check it out. however i don't find the sports bras very supportive so i gotta look somewhere else for those.

I have been getting a lot of my pants from Athleta in the past

aside from that I have been doing a lot of online shopping from these smaller 'independent' shops

lately for fun tops, BeastWorx.co and some fleoshorts shorts, also recently purchased some pants from k-deer

[thehobbes]

EastBay online. They sell all the Nike/Under Armour stuff but have their own brand which makes some really nice stuff IMO and holds up great. I've bought a lot of their compression pants and tanks. Decent sales frequently as well so when I do want to pick up some UA items I can at least knock the price down a bit. I went HAM on that site Cyber Monday holy crap.

[nitefeatherz]

I like Amazon Prime...as long as you know how much it should cost and sizing you can get good deals on there.

Ive been buying from Popflex lately. I love their stuff, colorful and unique plus comfy!! I have found they are true to the sizing chart as well.

Check out the link!!

Oh nice, some really cute stuff! Love their shorts!

On a separate note, am I the only one who ended up with some really goofy shaped tops that are super hard to take off? Especially when sweaty? I don't know I have 2 tops that I seriously have to dislocate my shoulders to take off. Sometimes I have to call my husband and ask him to grab hold of them and pull, which he absolutely HATES because they are wet with sweat and stinky as phuk, the kind of thing you wouldn't want to touch to save your life.

Why are workout clothes so important?

Not that it really matters to anyone here, but I respect women and men that wear comfortable clothing to workout in. Not clothing that reveals everything. Isn't that the point? You go to the gym to train for yourself and show off your body outside of the gym.

I wear an oversized T-Shirt with the sleeves cut off and an old hoodie over that. BBall shorts, an old hat, and my gym shoes

I am not sure what you mean by "so important". I work out 5-6 times a week so I need to have enough workout clothes for the week. Therefore I need to buy them. Somewhere. And I am asking people where they buy theirs.

Sorry if it offends you, but if it does, maybe you are in the wrong thread.

Lol, I'm not offended just don't understand why so much time is invested in shopping for training clothes.

I have been training Mon-Fri since 2000. I'm pretty sure that I still have some of those clothes that I use. Do you need a different set everyday? Maybe I'm missing something?

Yes, I don't wear disgusting dirty sweaty clothes. I like to be clean, go figure...

Unless you plan on doing laundry everyday...Ain't nobody got time for dat!

Not just time, but why should I run the washer and dryer for 4 pieces of clothing? Electricity costs money. I don't do laundry unless I have enough for a full load.

[PLANETGETLOW]

Damn, that's just crazy. People go to the gym and don't sweat or get funky.

Go figure

Maybe they should try work harder.

i have been working out for most of my life and felt the same way about workout clothes. However over the last 2 years i started buying actual workout wear. It is much more comfortable to workout in those clothes than sweats, shorts or t-shirts. Especially if you sweat. The difference between a sweaty cotton t-shirt and sweaty, moisture wick shirt, is a huge difference to me. I go to the gym super early - I am the only one there most of the time - so i am not trying to impress anyone.

[cerra71]

i go to sales racks mostly. Or I order from Yoga Outlet. They have reviewers and their sizes are true, and their sales are pretty good. I avoid Dicks, even their sales are too pricey for my cheap @ss

[blonde4gains]

I've ordered some stuff from sportsdirect.com
Recently I have been looking for 'unique' workout clothes, you can check out bombshellsportswear.com or aimn.com (they can be a bit pricey at times though)

Actually the prices seem quite reasonable for brands like Nike and Adidas.

Oh i meant for the other two sites

You should also check out gym shark - they have some nice stuff as well

[ladyandthetraps]

I'm not sure where you live, but I have a few outlets near me. I like to get most of my workout clothes from the nike, under armour, and reebok outlets. You can find some great deals there!

Under Armour
