Top 3 Affordable Women's Activewear Brands
TOP 3 AFFORDABLE WOMEN'S ACTIVEWEAR BRANDS
The top 3 activewear brands I can’t live without!
Back in 2010, I was voted Best Dressed in my high school. Fast forward to now, and while I still love putting outfits together, you'll mostly find me in cute, comfy, affordable activewear. I hit the gym 5-6 times a week, lifting heavy and sweating it out. Trust me—when you love your outfit, you’re way more pumped to get that workout done.
Sure, I’m a Lululemon girl at heart. But let’s be real—those prices aren’t in everyone’s budget. That’s why I’m breaking down my top 3 affordable activewear brands. We're talking about the best in price, fit, squat-proof quality, and overall style—without breaking the bank. Let’s go!
1. GymDeity
I found GymDeity on Amazon over a year ago and wow—the deals are unreal! Most pieces are under $20, and their mystery boxes are unbeatable. I’m obsessed with their NKD Free Leggings, which are honestly taking over my Lululemon stash.
My must-haves include:
- Free NKD Leggings ($20, size M)
- NKD Running Shorts 4” ($15, size M)
- Naked Feeling Legging 25” ($24, size S)
- 12 Pieces - Mystery box with your size top + bottom
The fit? Pretty true to size, but if you’ve got a muscular build, you might want to size up. Every pair I own is squat-proof—yes, even the lighter colors. The light ones might show sweat a bit, but they never go see-through. GymDeity constantly updates their stock, so don’t sleep on new releases!
2. Yogalicious
Yogalicious is a gem on Amazon, always priced under $30. Their shorts are super soft—like melt-into-your-skin soft! But heads up, they run big. I always size down with this brand.
My favorite? The High Waist Ultra-Soft 7/8 Leggings ($25). They’ve got a buttery feel (not slick like CRZ Yoga), and they’re perfect for strength or cardio days. Totally squat-proof. Darker shades are also sweat-proof, but lighter colors may show sweat. Not a deal-breaker for me—but just something to note!
Bonus: These leggings have deep pockets, which means I can carry my phone, keys, or AirPods without a problem. And yes, Amazon Prime shipping for the win!
3. Paragon Fitwear
Okay, let me be real with you—Paragon Fitwear might be better than Lululemon. Their Everyday Leggings are insanely soft. Like, the softest leggings I’ve ever worn. The waistband is tapered and snatches your waist like magic. These leggings sculpt your body while feeling like a second skin.
I wear a size small and they fit like a dream. At 5'6", the 7/8 length hits perfectly, and the waistband sits just above the belly button. Totally squat-proof, zero see-through, and minimal sweat showing even during intense workouts.
The more I wear them, the more they conform to my body—which I LOVE. Price? Just $38—and you can usually find a discount code on Instagram. Pro tip: Pre-orders take 4–6 weeks, but regular orders arrive in about a week!
Final Thoughts
Hope this roundup helps all my gym girls out there! Staying stylish doesn’t have to mean spending a fortune. These three brands give you that cute, confident, ready-to-crush-it vibe—without the luxury price tag.
Stay tuned, because I’m always testing out new fits and brands. If you’ve got a favorite budget-friendly brand, let me know. Until then—stay fierce, stay fit, and keep showing up!
