Working out feels wonderful for the body and mind, but when your workout clothes don’t make you feel great — it can bring your motivation and energy down.
We’ve searched high and low for the best places to shop plus size workout clothes that can endure high-impact workouts while still feeling comfortable. Long gone are the days of oversized sweats and tees; we want compression fabric and buttery soft fabric that makes us feel good during a jog or through post-workout errands.

1. Superfit Hero: Best Range of Sizes

Out of all the plus-sized activewear we reviewed, Superfit Hero has the best extended sizes options. You can find performance tops, compression leggings, and high-impact sports bras in sizes Large to 7X.
The top favorite of the site, the Superhold Pocket Leggings, have almost 200 5-star reviews. Reviewers rave that the compression fabric stays in place while still allowing for full range of motion. One reviewer even posted, “noticed way less pain in my lower back after exercising in these. they really help support the belly weight.”
Free US shipping starts on orders over $100, and returns and exchanges are always free for U.S. customers as long as the item is in new, unworn, and unwashed condition.

2. Fabletics: Best for Fun Patterns and Styles

Does Fabletics offer plus sizes? Yes!
Fabletics offers sizes up to 4XL with options for standard, tall and short lengths. The popular leggings come in a wide range of colors and patterns. We love Fabletics styles for their leggings with the deep pockets so our phones stay in place as we jog, as well as the hidden pockets to stash our cash safely. Some fabric is even made with anti-odor technology so you don’t have to worry about a stench if you’re doing group workouts.
You can either pay for Fabletics items at the retail price (about $70-95 for most items) or sign up for a membership to get an outfit every month for the $49.95 outfit credit that comes with your membership along with bigger discounts on activewear. Orders over $49.95 ship free, and you have free returns and exchanges for purchases within 45 days. Here’s our full Fabletics review.

3. Old Navy: Best Full-Figured Active Wear on a Budget

If you love Athleta but don’t love their prices, Old Navy offers affordable, stylish pieces for high-impact exercises as well as lounging and errand running in sizes XS to 4X — all at the same price and on the same page. Not only does Old Navy make online shopping simple, but you can almost always expect your favorite pieces to be 30-50% off.
We love that Old Navy has a line of workout gear for every type of vibe you are going for. Want leggings or tops with that buttery fabric? Shop the Powersoft line for Lululemon dupes for under $30. Need compression fabric for the bounciest of workouts? The Powerpress line is for you.
Old Navy Reward Members receive free shipping on orders of $50 or more, or you can select for free in-store pick up on select items. Shopping online and in-store at Old Navy offers two different experiences. When you shop online, you can easily snag the styles and sizes you want without much effort. However, shopping in-store might allow you to find items that are out of stock online or at an additional in-store discount.

4. Torrid: High-Impact Sports Bras That Are Actually Cute

When you are full-figured on the top, compression fabric sports bras are a must to reduce pain and chafing. However, finding a high-impact sports bra in extended sizes that don’t look like something made by a blind seamstress can be tricky. Torrid takes the cake for trendy sports bra styles that actually do what they say they will do.
With sizes in F, G, and H available in cup styles and 6X for non-cup styles, you can feel confident that everything stays in place while you do your favorite workouts. A favorite is the sweat-wicking fabric in the Active Wicking Sports Bra with Mesh Back. One reviewer wrote, “This sports bra actually holds me in and doesn’t give me the uni-boob look. It’s great for when I’m lifting.”
Torrid has a wide range of workout gear, all of which goes on sale regularly and periodically, purchases earn Torrid Cash which can be redeemed for a discount in future purchases. Shipping costs start at $6 or save money by opting to pick up your purchase from a local store for free.

5. Nike: Best Plus Size Outerwear Workout Gear

Leggings are wonderful for running in the spring and indoor gym sessions, but what about working out in the cold? Nike’s outerwear workout essentials go up to size 3X (24W-26W). You can find jackets perfect for warming up, like the Therma-Fit ½ Zip, or embrace the chilliest of hikes with the Sportwear Therma-Fit Repel insulated jacket.
Nike members receive free shipping and returns. Don’t forget to check out Nike’s Sale section for regularly discounted items up to 40% off.

Honorable Mentions for Plus Size Workout Brands

We wanted you to have as many resources as possible while shopping for your ideal workout gear. Plus, it is always fun to have options as far as patterns and styles go. These workout brands are also worth considering:

  1. Day Won: Trendy styles and patterns up to 5X, but we noticed a lot of sizes and styles were sold out. Join the email list to get discounts and in-stock notices of your faves.
  2. LIVI by Lane Bryant: You will find some workout gems in this line up to size 40. Many items had mixed reviews, which is why it didn’t make it into our top five list.
  3. Universal Standard: Solid unisex foundational workout pieces up to size 4X, but options are limited and many items are waitlisted.
  4. ASOS: Great mix of styles for men and women up to size 26W for women’s styles and 4X for men’s styles.
  5. Girlfriend Collective: Expect comfortable leggings, bike shorts and even sport skorts and dresses in extended sizes up to 6X.

I am a lifestyle and personal finance writer based in SoCal and have been a freelance writer since way before working remotely was the new norm. Being a wife and a mom to three young awesome kids, I have made it a regular habit to check out Slickdeals (even before joining the SD content team) to help fill up my pantry and gift closet for 50-70% off retail prices. As a family of five, we go through snacks, gifts, and toilet paper at an alarming rate, so I love a good deal and am also not afraid to dig through a thrift store to score incredible finds. When not writing about amazing deals to help people save and cool things on sale, I am taking care of my three girls, homeschooling, or stuck with my nose in a book. Sometimes, at the same time.
