I’m Updating My Workout Wardrobe—These 9 Brands Are on My List

When I go shopping, one of the categories I tend to skip over is workout clothes. For a long time, that was because I didn’t really like working out. In college, I’d go through phases where I tried to get into a routine, but it never really lasted.

I even used to buy matching sets to try to motivate myself. (They never did.) Over the past few years, though, my relationship with exercise has shifted. I actually look forward to going to the gym or taking a class now. Still, even as it became a habit, I hesitated to invest in activewear because it felt a little frivolous given my former track record. Lately, I’ve realized I’m definitely past those days, and I’m actually excited to invest in exercise clothes I’ll wear on a weekly basis.
