Get Fit AND Save Money with These Affordable Activewear Lines
Calling all fashionable fitness fanatics!
Say that 5 times fast… Are you looking to get fit and save money? Loads of retailers are jumping on board to bring bright colors, fun patterns, and stylish designs to new affordable activewear lines that look great inside AND outside of the gym. In fact, this new activewear anytime trend is known as athleisure. 🏋️♀️
Here are 6 of my FAVORITE affordable, functional, and downright adorable activewear lines.
1. Old Navy
Yup, the same Old Navy where you get $1 flip-flops and cheap trendy clothes just happens to be home to one of the greatest activewear lines I’ve experienced. Following the hottest patterns and styles for the season, they’ve flawlessly onlinebined top-performing fabrics with SUPER cute styles!
Favorite Pieces:
High-Rise onlinepression Legging $30 | Crossback Keyhole Tank $15 | Medium Support Sports Bra $20

Hip Tip: Old Navy is great for picking up popular trends for WAY cheap, like these High-Rise Moto onlinepression Leggings that look very similar to this crazy popular (and crazy expensive) pair of moto-style leggings from Alo!
2. Target
I’m really sorry if this just made your Target run a little more expensive, but the quality and pricing of Target’s lines are the perfect onlinebination. You can expect to find lots of adorable styles by JoyLab and C9 by Champion – both offering on-trend and budget-friendly workout gear. AND always keep your eyes peeled for clearance finds!
Favorite Pieces:
JoyLab High-Rise Scalloped Leggings $40 | JoyLab Cozy Layering Sweater $25 | C9 Medium Support Seamless Sports Bra $20

3. Forever 21
In a sea of crop tops and tiny-fitting everything, you CAN find some awesome workout options at Forever 21! They follow a lot of trends and styles from uber-popular fitness brands *cough* Lululemon *cough*, giving you the ability to score similar designer pieces at a fraction of the cost.
Their return policy isn’t the greatest (you can only return in exchange for store credit) so DEFINITELY try before you buy. Also, in my experience, the website can be easier to navigate than the store, so try on several items in-store to get a feel for your optimal size, then order online if you don’t feel like onlinebing through clothing racks.
Favorite Pieces:
Active High Tech Leggings $23 | Active Racerback Tank $13 | High Impact Sports Bra $13

Hip Tip: If you do feel like splurging on Lululemon, Collin LOVES the Align Pant: “They’re like butter, they ride high, and make me feel oh so onlinefy!”
4. Gap
Sister-store to Old Navy (which is at the top of this list), Gap offers a bit of a step up as far as style goes, ranging from tech-focused running pieces to super cute yoga and ballet styles. There is a bump in the pricing, but you can often find promo codes and sales ranging from 20% – 50% off. Basically, you should never feel you need to pay full price for their chic activewear!
Favorite Pieces:
Running Shorts $23 | Breathe Open-Back Tank $24 | Breathe Low-Impact Sports Bra $25

5. TJ Maxx / Marshall’s
If you love shopping for clothing, home decor, specialty foods, and endless knick-knacks all in one place, you’ll find yourself at a TJ Maxx or Marshall’s. In my area, while both seem to offer a similar selection as far as fitness apparel goes, I tend to find more options at Marshall’s. Prefer shopping from home? TJMaxx.online is where it’s at!
I LOVE TJMaxx workout clothing! They sell various brands like adidas, Nike, Reebok, etc. for SO CHEAP! And they always have new, stylish stuff!

6. Walmart
If it’s one place that has literally everything, it’s Walmart! We’ve been loving on them lately with our Walmart Wednesday series, and we adore the Danskin suede leggings. Through a helpful reader tip, we’ve now discovered the Danskin Dri-More leggings are just as amazing! I mean, check out those incredible reviews! Don’t forget to scour the clearance section too – you’re bound to find great markdowns on their already low-priced activewear!
