Buying workout clothes

by workoutmommy on August 18, 2010

I love online shopping.  Not only is it convenient, but it saves my sanity.

I absolutely cannot shop, much less try on clothes, with my 3 boys.   So whatever I need to pay in shipping, is well worth the amount of stress that I avoid!

Here are my favorite places to get workout clothes/equipment online:

  1. Thriv Natural Performance: offers the best performance tops and pants that I have ever found!  Their products are made of  a blend of Organic Cotton and Bamboo with the innovative fabric finish.   The fabric is super soft and does NOT smell.   As my husband points out,  he can wear his shirt for a few days and it still smells fine. (not like he does this or anything!)Thriv also has fantastic customer service.  If there is ANY issue with your product they make sure you are satisfied.   They offer free return shipping, which is very rare.    You cannot go wrong with the products from Thriv!
  2. Title 9 Sports: Their catalog has always made me drool, although their prices run high.  I have found many cute things there, including a black dress that I recently wore to a wedding.  (so comfy!)  I also swear by their sports bras, the Frog Bra and the Boulder Holder are worth every penny.   One negative of Title 9 is they do not tell you the brand name of the item you are buying, so you cannot price compare. Other than that, they are awesome!
  3. Zappos: this is my go-to spot for shoes.  The prices are competitive and I love the free shipping both ways.

Those are my favorite places for online shopping, what are some of yours?

Amazon gets my vote for it’s large selection of products and the reputation it has built over the years

I’m in Canada, so it can be tricky (and pricey!) to get shipping here. For workout gear, I have ordered from triathletesports.com and runningroom.com (it’s Canadian). Other favourites include Victoria’s Secret and Sephora, both of which ship here.

I totally agree about shopping with kids. Nearly impossible, and I always seem to lose my cool :(

I hear ya on trying on clothes with little boys. Impossible! I’m also a huge fan on online shopping. I’ve never bought workout clothes online though. Probably because I rarely buy workout clothes at all.

I live in Orlando and there are tons of outlets to shop at, which is where I score my discounted workout clothing. We have New Balance, Under Armour, Nike, Reebok, Converse, Adidas, etc. It’s WONDERFUL! Also, our Victoria Secrets outlet carries a great line of workout gear and sports bras. :)

I brought back Nike t-shirts and Reebok, Converse shoes last time I was in Florida to visit Prime Outlets, Premium Outlets, Florida Mall and Mall at Millenia – would have bought Nike running tights but they didn’t have the right size.

I love Title 9, and REI. I also get some things from the Nike outlet store.

Lucy has my fave workout tops and my fave running skirt is from Target. Shoes are from Nike – nothing else works for me! :)
I have to do all my shopping online, because our small town in Colorado doesn’t have any of those stores. So thankful for free returns! :)

Online shopping is totally my weakness. LOVE it. Although I prefer DSW for my shoes (I’m cheap). For clothes I like a variety of smaller companies because I like my workout clothes to look really… unique:)

I’ve only bought cycling shorts online because they’re all unflattering and I saw no reason to try them on. But my go to places are Ross and TJMaxx. Big name brands for a discounted price. Of course, you have to pick through a lot. But for me, it’s all about price.

I love shopping online as well. I can always compare prices and find the best deals on the products I want to buy. Someone almost always has “it” on sale.
I like the cute workout clothing at http://www.impactfitnesswear.com They have a lot of their summer line on sale right now.

I have to check out these places, but I usually buy work out clothes at Target and Walmart. If I’m lucky I may find some clothes at Old Navy. I’m a pretty thrifty person when it comes to clothes, only because I know they don’t last forever.
