Fitness Friday: Finding Deals on Workout Clothes

By Fitnspicy @fitnspicy

My love of workout clothes is well established, from capris and shorts to black workout pants to tops and jackets. I have quite the collection. But I NEVER pay full price for it.

TJ Maxx and Marshall’s

Yes you have to dig but you can find some really amazing deals! I often find Nike, Reebok, Adidas, Northface, every now and then Lucy and so many other brands.

Nordstrom Rack

Another place you have to dig but I find amazing deals here. I often buy gym shoes, find Lucy items at 50-60% off and it’s a great place for sports bras.

Gap

I LOVE the GapFit gFast Legging and Capri. I think I have 2 leggings and at least 3 of the capris. The last, are not see through at all and so comfortable. And Scott has a thing for me in yoga pants (I think most guys love to see a girl in tight black pants)

Your Yoga Studio or Gym

A lot of places have a small retail section and they often have sales to clear out seasonal merchandise. I just scored a great deal on a Lululemon tank at my yoga studio because it was a summery blue color!

Lucy’s and Lululemon’s Websites

They both have sale sections although Lucy tends to have better sales. Sign up for their emails and watch for 30-50% off already reduced sale prices. I often buy tops during those sales.

Savers/Goodwill/Consignment Stores

I don’t shop at those places all that often but I have found barely worn Lululemon, Athleta & Lucy for under $10 a piece. It’s pretty exciting to make that find! Just make sure you inspect for any stains, tears or too much wear and give it a good washing.

Here are a few of my favorites/recent finds:

Lululemom Energy Tank in Blue Moon for only $28. Even $28 is more than I usually spend but it was 50% off plus I had another 20% offer. Makes this a much better deal!

Gap gFast Leggins. They often have these for 40%. Best time to get them! Or if you have an outlet in your area they have them for $25 sometimes. As much as I would love about 10 pairs of Wunder Under’s that just not realistic!

Marika Long Sleeve Tops. These are great for putting over a tank on my way to the gym or yoga. In the winter I like to have a layer between my tank and jacket, especially since I leave the gym all sweaty! I found this one at TJ Maxx for $20.

New Balance Ultimate Jacket. Yet another layer for me (hey, I live in MN and it’s really cold here!) and something I will wear on the plane to Greece in a few weeks. This is just a basic jackets and dries super quickly. Another Marshall’s find for $19.99

I am well stocked for a few months  

My workouts this past week were dialed back a bit, I was under Dr’s orders to take it easier (but I didn’t have to stop working out).

Sunday: 4+ hours of golf with Scott. This was a 14,000+ step day. We had a cart but still did a ton of walking, me a little more since I am a horrible golfer and don’t hit the ball very far.

Monday: Off

Tuesday: Yoga Sculpt (I made moves lower impact)

Wednesday: Cardio and BBB Bootcamp (slow cardio and very light weights)

Thursday: Yoga Sculpt (a much lower impact day)

Friday: Off

Saturday: A slow flow yoga class is sounding very good.

Any secret places you shop for fitness apparel or recent great deals?
