Hijacking this thread, if you anyone wants to support local business for used/new sports equipment, elevate sports on STW

Dicks sporting goods at the mall has some non-Seattle apparel.

I buy my leggings from Fabletics, they are super functional and comfortable. I normally purchase any athletic shirts from Nike or Adidas, but a good substitute may be Fabletics as well.

I use Amazon all the time for this an have had good luck.

I've heard Amazon is good for this

Senita!

I don't know of they ship/work/exist outside of Europe, but I love Decathlon. From basic to professional stuff, and everything is actually very good price-quality wise.

Play it again sports.

For yoga mats in particular, try 5 below.

Sierra in Rookwood is more outdoors based but may have what you’re looking for

Sierra

Don't sleep in Koch's downtown. Most of their business seems to be jerseys of pro teams, but they also have real sporting goods that are actually in stock. A few years ago, through a series of odd circumstances, I needed, in short order, a discus, wrestling headgear, and women's soccer goalie gloves. Dick's had none of them, Koch's had all of them.

For clothes, GAP sale racks can have fantastic deals. Shoes are more difficult, but always walk through the department at Marshals and Dicks Sporting Goods. Ideally, pick up a pair or two before you need them.

All my workout clothing has come from Costco. Every so often I look through all the stuff in the middle of the store and find what fits. It's usually 2nd tier brands, but never once have I thought my inability to perform better is being caused by the logo on my shirt.

Thrift store for clothes. I’m a competitive runner and I never skimp on shoes. It can lead to injury. However I do check the sale section at my local running shop to see if they have the type I like on sale.

Old Navy is having a sale right now on chest pocket tank tops, $5 each.

Don’t cheap out shoes, athletic wear can be bought cheaply.

Try Old Navy! They have petite sizes and often have great sales. Looks like activewear leggings are $25-40 right now, but they're having a 30% off everything sale.

Athleta, Outdoor Voices (but I only buy on sale)

Lululemon (but I would only get it if thrifting 🫣)

Target also has some basics for activewear if you just want to try out some new silhouettes/styles at a lower price point before investing in something you really love

Lululemon is my fave but definitely expensive. Zella is nice and a little bit less pricey, they have it at Nordstrom Rack for a pretty good price sometimes. Also seconding what the other commenter said about CRZ Yoga, their stuff is nice for the price!

I’m such a Target fan. They continually improve their styles and fabrics. The All In Motion and Joy Lab lines are great. However, their stuff is mostly synthetic.

I like lululemon but that’s expensive. I would say $30-50 for sports bras and $60-80+ for leggings. They are good quality though.

Check out crz yoga on Amazon. I really like their biker shorts and leggings and are much more affordable. I think I got a sports bra, biker shorts and leggings for $75 total

Kohls, Nordstrom, Walmart, Target.

I feel like everyone always forgets Big 5

Not sure exactly of your budget but if you’ve got lots of disposable money there’s a Lululemon store at Fig Garden

Nike outlet in Tulare. Honestly an outlet mall with a Nike should be in Fresno.

Dicks Sporting Goods

J sports is best not chisti sports

ONE is a best option and also there is a shop named Brantick near freed gate… they have good quality stuffs

ONE

Imtiaz pe check kro acha mil jae ga

If u wanna buy local quality go for Chishti sports but if u want good stuff check out ONE and if u want some premium than checkout adidas and Nike online

Costco. Their Kirkland and Danskin leggings are really nice. Comes with pockets. Cheap as hell. Grab a random tshirt, generally the men's ones or the ones in a 3 pack.

Target when things are on sale or switching season (clearance). Nicer prints and designs than Costco.

When I splurge, I hit the sales racks at Athleta. Quality is very high, and prices (even pre-sale) are generally lower then lululemon. They frequently have great sales though.

For more affordable, Amazon has a ton of stuff. Not local obviously, and you need to be careful, some of the cheaper stuff is really, well, cheap, and fits strange, but if you stick with the Amazon Basics brand, or others that get reviews, they can be pretty affordable. Plus free returns if you don't like it.

Target has some ok stuff. I'm male, and a trail runner, but last time I was there I thought their stuff was decent. They had running specific and workout options. Also , try sports basement.

Old Navy. I bought workout clothes from them 5yrs back that is still in good condition. Some of their stuff is cheap quality but you can find good quality reasonably priced material too

If you have an Academy Sports near you try their BCG brand. They have T shirts and collared polos, shorts and slacks with no logos. While not super ultra quality, I find it good value for the price.

so, lots of amazon clothes are hit/miss, but I recently ordered some long sleeve shirts from a chinesium brand called "coofandy" that actually fit me very well,
I am 6ft 185.
I ordered 2, and once I tried them on, I immediately ordered 4 more. They fit surprisingly well and work for athletic builds.

There is no branding on the shirt anywhere, and if you can get over the corny name on the tag, it would probably work for you.

They make some T-shirts too but I have only bought the long sleeve shirts.

They are cheap, around 10-15 per shirt, and feel very nice.

Also, old navy shirts are pretty well suited for athletic builds as well.

I buy XL cotten tshirts and they are fine.

I’ve always struggled with finding clothes that fit me well besides a few brands like Under Armour and maybe some Oakley stuff. The only other place I can find is Lululemon but I really can’t afford to spend that much on athletic-fit clothes.

For context I’m 5’11”, about 200, and built like a hockey/lacrosse player. I just don’t want to wear Nike, Adidas, or other sports company clothing constantly and normal T shirts like ones you get at Walmart or Target are the most basic “one size fits all types” shirts out there.

Any suggestions?
