Perhaps surprisingly, I’ve come to rely on Target’s C9 line as my workout wear of choice. It’s super-reasonably priced, offers a great weight and coverage (unlike those transparent numbers of the 2013 Lululemon debacle) and hold up well to countless washing. Target refreshes the line multiple times throughout the year providing a steady supply of new prints and colors. Old Navy also makes cute, inexpensive active wear pieces.
Currently the C9 line is running at 25% off prices below with code SAVE25.

Lastly, for shoes! Since my first professional fitting, I’ve always run in the Saucony Guide Series and have been happy with them. When starting P90X3, I purchased Nike Training Shoes and found them suitable. In both pairs I went up a full size to find the best fit.
