What's Your Favorite Brand of Workout Gear?

What's Your Favorite Brand of Workout Gear?

by 28

We all play favorites sometimes, and when it comes to workout gear, we all have a brand we love. I'm not just talking about sneakers here, but wicking tops and flattering running tights, gym bags and base layers. When it comes to getting dressed for your workout, what clothes are you excited to wear?

Lululemon hands down! Honestly, I have tried many other brands but nothing fits and feels as cofortable to MY body like lulu does. I also love that it encourages REAL sizes. I may be a size 2 in gap etc...but at lulu I'm a 6...The way sizes should really be. I am an everyday runner and my stuff takes a beating every single day, and I have had it for years and it holds up well. As for the q' about Lulu, it is honestly available for all sorts of activities. They specialize in their Yoga/Pilates and Running gear but it can be applied towards anything. :)

Wow I've never even heard of lululemon but I just went to their site. That stuff is hot! Expensive though. I like athleta too, very nice quality, cute and is fits tall ladies like me perfectly!
For shoes, it's Nike all the way. I Love NikeID for personal style. For flattering athletic gear, it's Doce Vida Fitness. I Love their instantly slimming fabric.

If lululemon wasn't so expensive, I'd buy more of it. Most of my stuff is Nike because the inseam tends to be longer than other brands. My shoes are all Nike because of my insoles for running, they work the best for me.

Adidas, they made my only REALLY waterproof jacket and their running shoes are perfect for me. They, in my opinion, also have the cutest designs.

I voted for Nike, because of the list I wear their stuff the most . . . But I love North Face and Prana as well.

Depends what I'm doing, but I'll go with lululemon and Nike.

I'm all about Mizuno shoes for my crazy over-pronation; Adidas for shorts, t-shirts, and socks; Nike for long pants and jackets. I tend to get my workout clothes at Marshalls (yay for saving $), so that's how things have panned out, brand- and fit-wise. I don't get the Lululemon obsession, but I haven't actually tried on any of their stuff. Is it mostly for yoga-ish activity or can it really take a beating with other activities? For how expensive it is, it had better hold up well.
I love under armour and I wear their stuff ALL THE TIME. Also a write in for mizuno shoes & I would totally try out some lulu stuff if weren't so freaking expensive :(

My go-to brand is Champion. I also have some athleta and like them as well. I would like to try some lululemon.

I really like Lululemon, but since it is so expensive only one pair of yoga pants. Otherwise its Lucy and Nike.

The North Face outfits me while I ski!
I love lululemon, but only have a few things as its so expensive. Nike is a good buy though, especially since my friend works at corporate and can get me 50% off. But if I was rich... I'd be lululemon all the way!

Wish Hard Tail was in the line up.

Love the technology behind Nike products. Cold, hot, wind, rain...don't have an excuse not to work out because they make the best stuff for every condition. Also love the Vomero running shoes, great cushioning.

Lululemon owns my gym bag! Perfect college-wear too.

Well lululemon is awesome, but they really need to rethink their pricing....they are excluding a HUGE amount of buyers due to their unrealistic buyers. If they lowered their prices to be a *bit* more affordable, probably 3 times more people would buy their stuff and not just admire it, and therefore overall they would make MORE profit. I dont know why more companies dont implement this strategy. It makes sense overall! Anyhoo, since lululemon is out of my league, I go Adidas, Nike or Puma.

Yeap - Mizuno for me - have >10 pairs of their running shoes already. And just recently change to their clothes also. Cutting was good and nice - there is a close out special of Mizuno top for 19.95 only. http://www.holabirdsports.com/m/Running/Running-Apparel_Women/Mizuno/p1/052239.htm
write-in vote for mizuno! their sneakers especially, but I love their apparel also.
Most of the brands you have listed are really not flattering for women (with the exception of lululemon). But, if it's shoes - it's gotta be Nike (there is no other as far as I'm concerned). If it's clothes - my favorite is lucy (gorgeous design and beautiful fit).
