    TKMaxx normally have a wide variety of gym gear in stock at a discounted price... might be worth a shot?

    TK maxx is brilliant for that sort of thing, also give penneys a try, I got some great bits in there which are actually really durable

    Hi all

    Hoping to resurrect this thread. Does anyone have suggestions of where to buy to buy cheap gym clothes? Have gotten some of the adidas and nike stuff in the sports shops and it is great quality, but its mad expensive and when its put through a washing machines once or twice a week it doesn't last any longer! Have gotten a few bits from sports direct which is very reasonable, but dont find that the quality is as good. Any other suggestions would be great! In particular looking for decent tight fitting tshirts (with sleeves) that are not really short. Thanks

    TK Maxx can be great for gym gear. I've got lots of stuff there and haven't had problems with the quality. They have all the usual labels.

    Dunnes have some gym gear in stock at the moment

    The Penneys stuff isn't worth it in my opinion. It looks the part, but the fabric is just cheap synthetic with no anti-moisture or wicking properties- it will stink after a few wears. The Dunnes stuff is made of technical fabric though- got a lovely fluorescent yellow long-sleeved running top there last week.

    Have to agree, got a pair of Pennys legging 2 weeks ago, and although they look ok, on closer examination they are made with a really cheap fabric, and when you bend over in any way they are see-through!! Might try out some of the Dunnes stuff, looks good. Also got a USA Pro leggings and sports bra in Sports World & find the quality really good, and not as expensive as the main sports brands . The Karrimor stuff isnt too bad either

    sportsdirect are brilliant, I love my stuff from there
    Am going to have a look in that "direct sports" shop on henry st also


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 166 ✭✭miss-p


    I've a few of the penneys sports tshirts, and find them grand. I got USA pro leggings from sports world and while the leggings are ok for gym stuff like spinning, I've found they slip down when I'm out jogging. Which is a right pain!

    The pure simple range in JD Sports is very good, stands out a bit and a great price.

    I've a few bits and pieces from H&M and they're lasting well.

    It was ages ago, but I was really disappointed in Direct Sports. Having been in Sports World in the UK (like sportsdirect.com but bricks and mortar) I thought it would be similar. I guess that's what they're going for with the name and colour scheme. But I couldn't find anything I was looking for. It was mainly stuff for people who want to wear trackies/sports clothing out rather than actual fitness gear.

    I do love sportsdirect.com though, I think they're brilliant, and the karrimor stuff is both cheap and IMO good quality. For an actual shopping trip I'd use JD sports though. They're the cheapest place I've found that do those amazing Nike sports bras, and the staff must be on commission because they're so friendly and helpful.

    Me too, was disappointed
    Wasn't impressed with champion sports either and ended up ordering from sportsdirect again instead
    There is a top I want in CS though so I will go back...
