Sometimes just getting dressed for a workout is the hardest part.
Promising review: "I love this jacket! So much that I just ordered two more colors. It's stretchy fabric that really hugs your curves!" —monique P.
Get it from Forever 21 for $11.90 (originally $17; available in sizes XS-L and in light purple, light pink, and purple).
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 5’1", 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 it from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in XS-XXL and in 17 colors and varieties).
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 $23.04+ (available in 34C-50J and in nine colors).
Promising review: "I'm obsessed! I already sent out a PSA to my friends recommending these. I have been looking for new workout shorts for months now! I have tried many popular brands, and they are either too tight on my thighs to fit on my waist or way too short. These are perfect! They're so flattering, which makes wearing shorts more comfortable. I just bought another pair!" —Mary
Get them from Dick's Sporting Goods for $23.99+ (available in sizes XS-XL and in five colors).
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 $13.99+ (available in sizes XS–XXL, inseams 27"–37", and five 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 $7.95+ (available in sizes XS-4XL and in 15 colors).
Get them from Lululemon for $88 (available in sizes 0-14 and in 11 colors and patterns).
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 $19.95 (available in sizes XS-2X and in 11 colors).
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 5’4", 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 $15.99+ (available in sizes S-XL and in 30 colors and styles).
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

The bra is machine-washable and 95% cotton/5% spandex.
Promising review: "These are the best sport bras EVER! They actually give you enough support and don't give me uni-boob! Plus, they're so much easier to get on as opposed to regular sports bras that are basically a workout to put on over your head and unroll to fit. I can’t wait to buy more soon!" —Stacey D Belt

Get them from TJ Maxx for $14.99 (available in sizes S-L).
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
Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in sizes S-XL and in 12 colors).
Promising review: "These sports bras are amazing. They are great quality, wash well, and fit comfortably. You get 5 sports bras for the price of one, which is great for my wallet. The colors are beautiful and just as bright as advertised. They have a removable pad that are easy to take out and put in. I wear a 40DD, and the XL fits comfortably and supports me perfectly. The material helps keep you feeling dry when you sweat, which is what I am always looking for. All in all, an excellent buy!" —Tokens of Faith

Promising review: "I own two of these awesome shirts. I wear them for long and short runs, running errands, and just hanging out. They are super soft, comfy, and not skin tight. For reference I am 5'7, 155 pounds, 34D, and I bought Medium. Plus, they're a good length for my long torso!!" —Marathonmom
Get it from Athleta for $59 (available in sizes XS-XL and in 11 colors).
Promising review: "These leggings are perfect. They’re not see-through at all, very stretchy without being straight spandex, and true to color. The seams are in comfortable places and the waistband is great. I buy a lot of leggings and this is now my go-to source." —Devon Borokoff

Promising review: "These are GREAT! They're made of a super-soft material and are perfect for working out. They are by no means 'compression' material but are great for keeping you cool while exercising. I'm usually XS, but the small fits well. They're not skintight but do cling nicely to my figure. I'm in love!" —Leah
Get them from Amazon for $20.45 (available in sizes XS-XL and in seven colors and styles).
Promising review: "I teach fitness classes multiple times per week. This is my go-to top! I have it in six colors. I love the cut on the arm opening up to the neck. It really flatters the shoulder muscles. Also, the arm opening is low enough to show off a cute sports bra while also being loose enough to maintain appropriateness while 'working.' They wash and dry really well too. It fits true to size." —Ticket81
Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in XS-XL and in 18 colors and varieties).
Promising review: "This little workout bra is not only super cute on, but it actually supports a lot better than it's advertised to do. I didn't think I'd be able to wear this for a workout and bought it more for around the house. But once I got it, it became obvious I could wear it to the gym. I have run in this (and I'm a 34C), done burpees, box jumps, etc., and everything stays put with no pain. I've had a ton of compliments and two other people have ordered since. I tried one just to see how it fit and then immediately ordered two more. It's replacing my Victoria's Secret workout bras that I can no longer find." —Jasmine

Plus, they're great for long flights as well as for people with chronic lymphedema.
Promising review: "I love these socks. They have helped so much with fatigue in my legs during my runs and HIIT workouts. They aren’t too tight to where they leave indentions in my feet. Plus, the toe seam isn’t one that irritates you. Just make sure you are putting them on the right feet. The bottoms say L or R. They go right below my knee but can be pulled slightly over the knee, if needed." —Kess_reviews
Get them from Amazon for $9.97+ (available in sizes S/M and L/XL and in seven colors).
Promising review: "This is a great workout shirts! I usually wear a small and ordered a small, and they fit great! I wore it for weight lifting one night and cardio one morning, and it worked really well and is very comfy. I will be buying in more colors." —Nikkie A

Promising review: "Let me tell you, I have been rocking these for over a year, and they still look brand new. I wear them out on errands, to the gym, when I am traveling, and pretty much everywhere else you would want to wear these. They keep my stomach under control, but I still feel flexible and am able to move. Plus, I am a little obsessed with the ombre design. I bought them in two other colors. They're worth it!" —VivalaDittrich
Get them from Amazon for $18.75+ (available in sizes XS-XXXL and in 40 colors).
