Workout Gear: Where to Buy, Without Breaking Bank

I’m a runner and, as such, I like to have nice, practical (yet cute!), and comfortable clothes to strut my stuff in at the gym or on the track. The whole, baggy T-shirt and sweats just doesn’t cut it anymore; a lady likes to keep it together, even covered in sweat.

So, where do I go to get my favorite sneaks and workout clothes? Read below where this runner gets her kicks – and looks.

Marshalls. I swear by this place. They have everything from sneaks to sports bras to running pants and Under Armour for those chilly workout days. And it is all way cheaper than you would find at a regular store.

Dick’s. Get your mind out of the gutter, ladies. I am talking about Dick’s Sporting Goods store. A close second to Sports Authority (which, despite its top notch designs for workout attire, packs on a heavy price tag), you can find the best name brands for lower prices than other chain athletic stores.

Old Navy. Wife beater tanks in a billion colors, yoga pants and athletic shorts…all for under $15. You really can’t beat that.

Ebay. I know, sounds risky, but you can find Nike, Reebok, Adidas, New Balance and many more brands on this site. All you need to know is your size. Don’t know off the top of your hand? Run to a store, try on the gear, then come home and purchase what you want online for less than you’d pay anywhere else.

Ross Dress for Less. Similar to Daffy’s, Ross Dress for Less is a discount store that offers name brands at extremely (I’m talking $5 tops ladies) low prices. Google and find if there’s a store near you; they have stores in 27 states.

Campmor.com. If you like to camp, hike, climb or do anything outdoors, this website geared toward rural workout interests in perfect for a person on a budget. You can view the complete catalog, equipped with clothing, eco-friendly workout products, socks, shoes and other gear. Check it out!

Kohl’s: This store is often overlooked, but it is a gold mine of good deals. They have all the best brands in workout gear and they are always on sale. Oh, and while you’re there, you should check our their Vera Wang line. (What? You don’t get sidetracked sometimes?)

Steve and Barry’s. You can find more than just SJP’s Bitten line here. This store is known for their discount styles without cutting the quality. Definitely a great place to stock up.

Outlets. Nike, Reebok, Puma and Adidas all have outlet stores that offer the name retail priced clothes, discounted. So, find an outlet near you, pack up some girlfriends and head out for a day of shopping!

There you go girls. Now you have no excuse not to hit the gym.

Go get those clothes and get your workout on!
