Plus-Size Workout Clothes?

eirwyn

I'd love to have some good workout clothes, like Under Armour or Lululemon, but they don't offer anything above an XL. I've seen a few things that are 2X, but that's still too small for me.

Does anyone know where I might find some good workout clothes in a 3X? I'm tired of wearing sweatpants and heavy cotton yoga pants.

I just wore (and still wear) a good sports bra (a few are built into tops), a regular tank top (most are from old navy), and random cropped yoga pants with drawstrigs that I find at Kohls.  Nothing fancy required.

Have you looked at Walmart or Target?  Some of my favorite sports bras were $15 from Target, and while they only go to XXL, I found they ran a bit large (I wear a full size down from my normal workout clothes elsewhere).

Walmart seems to have some reasonable 3x options:

Ditto to Target.  The brand sold there actually uses almost exactly the same material and composition as the UA stuff.

I've been getting a lot of my workout clothing from Old Navy, I'm not sure if it goes up to 2X and beyond but they DO have a plus size section so I imagine it's likely. I would usually have categorized myself as a 2X (when I started working out) but their XL compression pants fit me (now i'm squeezing into a L even!)

I recommend checking them out - it's also pretty affordable (wait till one of their sales to get 20% or 30% off your order!)

Thanks, everyone. I'll check Target and ON today. Our ON doesn't stock plus sizes, but I don't mind ordering online.

I started out in mens shorts and tshirts on clearance at Meijer.

FI mom and sister are in that size range and they just bought a bunch of workout stuff from penningtons....not sure if that is a canada only store or not but they do a lot of shopping there.

I don't do expensive clothes to sweat in.  I buy the bag of mens undershirts (Hanes, Fruit of the Loom) in a big size so it's loose and comfy and covers my gut.  My sports bras are from Target, they come in a bunch of bright neons and are super comfy (I think they are Champion).  I also shop the wall in Target of assorted yoga pants/capris.  The ones with panels make your legs look nice and stay up - drawstrings don't cut it for my kickboxing so I need stretchy.

I replace the shirts every two months or so because they stink.  They're only $8 so it doesn't matter.
