Promising review: "These are comfortable, breathable, and fantastic workout short! They're durable quality and have a nice comfort waistband." —Amazon Customer
Get them from Amazon for $13.58 (available in sizes XS-2X and in 23 colors).
Promising review: "This is my favorite All in Motion top! The print is great, and I love the side-tie. The material is great for low impact/low sweat workouts like barre. The fit and material are also great!" —brookeashley
Get it from Target for $16 (available in sizes XS-XXL (in three prints) and sizes 1X-4X).
Promising review: "These are the best leggings! And they are 100% worth the price. They stay in place and can be used to work out or can easily be dressed up. Another thing for all of my fur moms out there, they don’t attract hair!! I’ve washed and dried them many times, and they’ve held up great. They also smooth out my booty and legs better than any leggings I’ve ever had. They’re so good, trust me!" —Morgan Mathis
Get it from Amazon for $39 (available in sizes XS-3X and in 17 styles).
Reviewers do say it runs small, so size up.
Get it from REI for $28.59 (originally $28.59; available in sizes XS-XL and in four colors).
Promising review: "I rely on reviews to decide on everything I buy so I thought I’d help a sister out! I just got these in the mail and tried them on and I’m so impressed! I’ve been eyeing these shirts for a while and finally decided to buy them, and I’m so glad I did. Based on the reviews, I was a little unsure about sizing, but I went with my normal small. In my opinion, they're very true to size (I'm 5-foot-1, 122 lbs). The material is soft and not constricting. They are a tad long, but I have a pretty short torso. I’d size up for a looser fit and down if you’re looking for a tight fit. Overall I’m happy, and I think $20 for three shirts is a steal!" —Shelby Jordan
Get a three-pack from Amazon for $19.99 (available in XS-XXL and in eight styles).
Promising review: "I have been searching for a sports bra that works. This one does what it says. I am a 36D and I work out with a personal trainer. I do HIIT workouts, strength training, and running. With this bra there is very little bounce. It also is very breathable. It fits snug but I like that. It runs true to size. It even feels like it supports my back and shoulders. I am definitely buying more of these. I highly recommend this bra especially for women who are larger. Seriously the best support I have ever had in a sports bra." —Jennifer Pelton
Get it from Amazon for $28.75 (available in 34C-50J and in seven styles).
You can customize the inseam length to make sure they fit you just right!
Promising review: "I tried these out with low expectations, but they really surprised me. There is almost no difference between these pants and other name-brand ones, other than they are half the price. I bought my normal size and they fit perfectly. I didn't measure the inseam, but I wear 35-36 inseam and they are perfect. I love them!" —Jean
Get them from Amazon for $31.99 (available in sizes XS–XXL, inseams 27 inches –37 inches, and four colors).
Promising review: "This is a great workout top. It's very comfortable, especially during hard sweaty workouts. It does run a bit roomy, but it is all good." —Susan Jarvie
Get it from Amazon for $25 (available in sizes XS-3X and in four colors).
Promising review: "I just received these leggings in the mail today, and I’m very impressed! I wore them running, and they are very durable/comfortable, and the material is good quality. They even have pockets for your phone!! I definitely would buy more. :)" —LYDDDD98
Get it from Aerie for $38.46 (originally $54.95; available in sizes XXS-XXL, XS-XL Short, XS-XL Long and in four colors).
Promising review: "I love these shirts! I've been looking for a good workout shirt that doesn't cling around the middle. Not only did this one fit the bill, it's about 2 inches longer than the Champion shirts that I bought for more money. They are incredibly comfortable to work out in but also just look like a regular non-athletic shirt. I don't have any problem wearing them out of the gym and feeling like I have normal street clothes on. And this is much more comfortable than normal street clothes!! I highly recommend!" —Mom-of-Two
Get it from Amazon for $12.95 (available in sizes XS-4XL and in 15 colors).
Promising review: "I love these leggings. They're flattering and comfy and the pocket is a huge plus! They're great for working out, lounging around the house, or even running errands in. I'll definitely be getting more!" —LOLOT521
Get it from Torrid for $41.65 (originally $59.50; available in sizes M-6X).
Reviewers say the shirt runs small and suggest ordering a size up.
Promising review: "We just got back from a vacation in Utah where we hiked nonstop for a week. I have never worn a long-sleeved shirt to hike in when it is warm, but this one was fantastic. Even though I packed other shirts, I kept washing this shirt in the sink, hanging it up to let it air-dry, and wearing it the next day. Unfortunately, all my pictures look like I only have one outfit, so I intend to order a couple more in different colors. It's much better than having to use sunscreen all day long." —callie2
Get it from Amazon for $21.95 (available in sizes XS-2X and in 11 colors).
Promising review: "I run half marathons and have DDD boobs and a small frame. I was getting crazy burn marks from other sports bras with underwire. This is amazing. For me, it fits around the ribs (I got the 32E) and the bra band stays in place, doesn't move, really holds my breasts down, and fits comfortably. Everyone that sees it thinks it's such a cute design and the back is cute too. I have one in pink and black. I just bought the one in blue tonight. You also can't beat this price. Highly recommend this sports bra! They're all I wear to workout (I do HIIT, yoga, boot camp type activities, and train/run half-marathons)." —jacquelyn Keeley
Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in sizes 32A–40E and in seven colors).
Promising review: "I love these! I am definitely not a crop top type of girl, but I decided to try these out for the gym since I like something that doesn’t move too much when I run or lift. With high waisted leggings, these barely show any skin and are extremely breathable and comfortable." —Desi Brown
Get a four-pack from Amazon for $25.99 (available in sizes S-L and in five styles).
Promising review: "These are my new favorite workout pants! They are so comfortable, look and feel great and, have two side pockets. Those side pockets fit my iPhone comfortably and there is plenty room left. It’s so practical. I’m 5-foot-4, 170 lbs, and usually wear between M-L. I like how the large fits better. I think they run a little big and the fabric is also kind of stretchy. I could probably go with one smaller size and still be fine. I like it how it is, but it is something to consider. I'm definitely going to order more!" —Jessica Anne
Get them from Amazon for $18.99 (available in sizes S-XL and in 36 styles).
Promising review: "Coming from someone who hates working out in long sleeves, this top is life-changing. It's not clingy or too hot. It's breathable so I'm not hot during my run. I love it!" —Carina
Get it from Old Navy for $12+ (originally $26.99; available in sizes XS-XXL and in four colors).
Promising review: "I love my shorts so much that I purchased a second and third pair. They are great for my summer walking group. This particular short has pockets for cell phone, keys, or money. I also wear them for spin/circuit-training classes. All the styles I bought have the tummy-control panel and fit high on the waist...PERFECT!!! I totally recommend trying these. I looked in stores all over my area, and couldn't find what I wanted, but I found them on Amazon." —jme

Promising review: "This shirt is soft and light which is perfect for working out. I ordered a medium which is my usual size and it fit perfectly. I like that it's modest in the front and open in the back to show off the sports bra design." —Nate Larkin

Promising review: "I love this top! It has a killer structure to give the perfect fun boxy cut. The cotton is thick (not see-through at all!) and super soft! Such a cute easy thing to throw on! I got two colors and I already want more!" —D
Get it from Athleta for $23.99 (originally $49; available in sizes XXS-XL and in four colors).
Promising review: "Ok, I legit never write reviews, but this almost made me cry. I am an avid Lululemon-only type gal. I swore I could not find anything better, but I really need to say that these left me SHOOK. They are nearly identical to the Aligns and perhaps even better! If you are skeptical, just get them. You can literally get three pairs for the price of one Align, and they are such good quality! I just can't, I'm buying everything from this company. I bought a size L since I'm a 10 in lulu, and it's the perfect fit. You could even size down for more compression." —John and Lucie
Get it from Amazon for $29.99 (available in sizes XS-XL and in 17 styles).
