Affordable workout gear

Wondering if anyone has advice on where to buy affordable workout clothes that will last? Student budget makes it difficult to stretch to the brands, but I've had the see-through gym leggings issue too many times!

Kohl's or Target is where I get mine.

 

I have never bought the brand names. Why spend a lot of money to to sweat in something? Smiley Very HappySmiley LOL

The most reasonably priced workout gear in our area is at the closeout stores, such a Marshalls, TJ-Maxx, or Sierra Trading Post.

Hi there!  I buy mostly in costco (yoga pants and capris are really good)  and Walmart. My running shoes are from running room store. I prefer Asics GT. Only for shoes I get the branded one. I tried few other and ended up with some injury. So for shoes, no matter what, I do not change the brand/model. But usually I watch out for sale. I don't know where you are from. But if you are in Canada, you can try in these stores.  

 

Thanks

Does amazon count?  I have bought some workout clothes from there. Have also bought several running/walking shoes from amazon as well.

Depends on what's affordable for you. 🙂

 

I am using these Seamless tights and I feel they paid for themselves 🙂

Also, I recommend Amazon. Mostly due to their review system as you may find out a lot about the product before you buy. I got kettlebells, dumbells, stationary bike and some other minor equipment ( I don't keep lots of that as I prefer gym but it's good to have a backup 😉 ). I didn't spend lots of money and none of my equipment is known brands. That's the last thing I care. The product matters, not the brand.

I buy all of my gym kit when a sale is on. Theres usually a good online sale somewhere! Have you ever tried buying anything second hand? Have a look on Depop, people usually sell good things on there that have only ever been worn once

I'd shy away from used workout gear.  I wouldn't wish my nasty stuff on anyone.

 

But seriously, I tend to hit Wal-Mart and Target for workout gear.  It's cheap, it gets beat to hell and back, so it needs replaced all the time.
