Affordable Fitness Gear Part 1
Outdoor Running, Indoor Running, Yoga, Spin Class, Cycling, Swimming, Weight lifting, Hiking, Skiing
Sneakers, jackets, socks, mat, gym bag, cleats, bike, goggles, ipod, cycling shoes, helmet, gloves, shorts, tanks,yoga pants, headbands, hats, sunglasses, base-layers, wool socks…
The list goes on and on.
Working out doesn’t always require dri-fit clothes or special gear. However, you just can’t ride a bike without owning a bike and a helmet.
Luckily, I was able to bypass the credit card debt by finding good deals on almost everything I’ve needed. All of my other gear for various fitness activities has been acquired over time. In fact the workout pants I teach class in were purchased 5 years ago. They were an investment, not a bargain when I initially purchased them. But, now that I’ve gotten so much wear out of them, they were in fact a bargain.

Thank you for submitting your questions for the next edition of Trainers Dish. If you have a question you’d like for us to answer, let me know.
I’m always looking for great sales on running apparel. Thanks for the tips!
I have scored great deals at Marshalls/TJ Maxx and Nordstrom Rack. Who cares if it is a discontinued color!
There’s one running store near us that occasionally has big sales so that’s when we bought most of our running gear – but we really just use the same few things over and over because it’s so expensive!
i was just comin over here to say hi when i saw your comment to me
serendipity!
anyway love the discount tips…always need workout clothes and hate paying full price and also hate dealing with the tj maxx chaos places…I know, Im hard to please
Averie, I totally can’t handle the tj maxx chaos places either, even though they supposedly have good deals.
