Active Wear Favorites
I love active wear and over the years I’ve got some favorite brands that I continuously buy from. I haven’t bought much lately since I have enough active wear right now and I am not going to the gym as much as I have in the past. Also, I am trying to make more conscious purchasing decisions.
I love being comfortable and choose leggings or shorts, a loose fitted tank top and a supportive sports bra as my workout outfit of choice. Most of my active wear consists of two brands.

Under Armour
I love Under Armour active wear. Everything I have purchased from the brand has held up and has been high quality. It does come with a decent size price tag, but the secret is buying from the outlet. Purchasing from the outlet or sale section of the Under Armour online store, can save up to 50% on select styles. It may be last season’s or unpopular styles, but when you’re on a budget, it is very functional active wear. My favorite pieces from Under Armour are the shoes, sports bras and hoodies
If you are lucky enough to live near an outlet mall, you may have an Under Armour outlet store. This is especially convenient if you don’t like shopping online. This way you can see and feel the clothing as you make your purchasing decisions.
Another tip, if you have never heard of Rakuten (formerly knowns as Ebates) it is an online browser extension that allows you to earn cash back when you shop on several brands. Often, brands like Under Armour Rukanen offers up to 10% back on purchases. I’ve found that if I spend $100 (minimum order for free shipping) on all outlet purchases, I get more pieces for than I would for full price items as well as $10 cash back.
Fabletics
Fabletics is an active wear brand created by Kate Hudson. Every month new styles are available with limited quantities. When you sign up to be a VIP member, you get 50% off all styles. The only catch is if you don’t skip each month or make a purchase, you get charged $49.95 and a credit is applied to your Fabletics account. I set a reminder every month to skip.
My favorite pieces from the brand are definitely the Powerhold High Waisted Leggings. They are so comfortable and super high quality. I have so many leggings and tank tops. I have a couple sports bras, but they’re not my favorite. I much prefer the Under Armour sports bras much more.
The best value are the outfits created each month. Sometimes, one pair of leggings is the same cost as a two piece outfit with leggins and a tank top. Right now when you sign up, you get two pairs of leggings for $24 with sizes from XXS to 3X.
Choosing quality active wear, I want my pieces to last. I am picky. So, when I find something I like, I want one in every color! But I am trying to make more conscious purchasing decisions, in general, and only buying anything when I need it. So since I already have so much active wear, I am not buying anything new for a while. But these two brands are most definitely my go to brands when I am in need of more active wear. What are your favorite active wear brands?
If you are here and reading this, that means you have an interest in your health and fitness. That is so good, I am so excited for you! Taking care of your body is literally the best thing you can do for yourself in the present as well as long term. I read this quote, not sure who said it.
“Do something today that your future self will thank you for”
I just find that so inspiring. Hard work will pay off in the future, but you also have to live in the moment and I feel like taking care of yourself is doing both. You are doing good for yourself now as well as for your future self.
