Activewear deals

How activewear pricing works

Activewear brands sell in two main ways. Some sell like any clothing store: you pay the listed price, with sales and codes from time to time. Others sell through a membership, where members get lower prices or monthly credits and non-members pay more. Athleta and Fabletics are the two brands in this hub, so check how each one sells before comparing prices.

The deals grid above shows only offers each brand has published through its affiliate program, with the end date it set. A code that looks big can depend on joining a membership, so read the terms before you check out.

Understanding membership offers

Membership models can offer good prices, but they come with rules that matter as much as the discount.

• How it bills. Check whether you're charged every month unless you skip, and how to skip.
• What a credit buys. If membership gives you credits, check what they can be spent on and whether they expire.
• How to cancel. Find the cancel steps before you join, not after.
• Non-member price. Compare the member price you'd get with the non-member price, and with sales at other brands.

Fit, fabric and what to buy

Activewear sizing and fabrics vary between brands and even between product lines. Before you stock up on a code, buy a single piece and wear it for the activity you bought it for. Leggings that work for yoga may not work for running, and a fabric you love in the shop may pill or turn see-through with use.

Pay for the features you need: pockets for running, sweat-wicking fabric for hard workouts, support for high-impact activity. Basics like tees and shorts are where you can save most, since they matter less for performance.

Returns on activewear

Because activewear is worn close to the body, many stores won't accept returns on items that have been worn, washed or had tags removed, and sale items may be final sale. Try new pieces on at home with the tags on, and check the return window before you buy on a deep discount.
