Affordable Amazon Activewear Review Cover

Hello, hello!

So I have a feeling that this is going to be the first in a series covering affordable Amazon activewear… because I have no self-control when it comes to activewear and I’m a broke college student so affordability is a top priority. 

I tweeted about this post idea a while ago, and y’all were all about it.

The criteria for these pieces were…

  1. They must be items that I will actually wear.
  2. The max I will spend on one piece is $20. 
  3. Pieces should be worn multiple times, not just a one-time-wear kind of thing.

Tanks

I am in love with these. Absolutely in love.

You get three tanks for $21.00. That comes out to $7 a shirt… umm hello… that’s practically unbeatable!

I picked these up in an extra small.

Affordable Amazon Activewear 8 1
Affordable Amazon Activewear 9 1

Pros:

  • Length – these cover your butt, and for me, that’s a huge bonus
  • Long arm holes – personally I love the muscle tank style, and these do just that. I also like that the arm holes on these go down far enough so you can see my tattoo…
  • Colors – this could be a pro and a con depending on what colors you like. I love neutrals and a pop of coral/orange. These match that color scheme perfectly

Cons:

  • Material – may not last for years to come

Value: 10/10

If you’re looking for some workout shirts that are stylish, comfortable, long enough, and won’t break the bank, these are them. They’re a great addition to your collection and you wont feel horrible if you somehow ruin one of them ๐Ÿ™‚

Shorts

These shorts come in so many colors. I picked up black, red, and grey. They have a 3″ inseam. That may be short for some, but it’s perfect for me.

Just like the tanks, I’m in love with these shorts as well.

Pros:

  • Length – These aren’t too long and they aren’t too short. They are ‘booty shorts’ as some people might call them. For me, that’s what I like because there’s no excess fabric restricting my movement. 
  • Material – Fabric seems sturdy and like it will last for a while. At $11ish a pair, that’s a huge plus. 

Cons:

  • The cameltoe… yeah it’s real with these. It could be because I ordered a size small and they’re definitely tight on me. If you want to avoid this, I might go up a size. 
  • They show sweat. This isn’t a big deal to me, but if you care about whether or not your pants show sweat, these do.

Value: 9/10

These shorts are perfect for those hot summer days in the gym. They cover just enough, and I love them for my leg days and cardio days. I love them so much and will 100% be purchasing more colors in the future… I might just go up a size to avoid the cameltoe. 

What do you think of these kinds of activewear reviews!? I loved making this one for y’all because I got to splurge on some activewear LOL… Have you ever purchased activewear from Amazon?? I’m possibly thinking about including leggings in my next Amazon activewear review… thoughts??

Taking some time outside of CrossFit to drill down and focus on my weightlifting technique. Snatches and cleans have always been a little intimidating and Iโ€™ve been scared to push myself on them for fear of injury. Looking forward to seeing how my lifts progress over the next few months!

Oh, and mental health is doing fantastically, too!

I was 9 months in to my fitness journey, tracked macros like it was my job, and religiously went to the gym 5-6 days a week. Seeing this pop up in my โ€œMemoriesโ€ was just what I needed today because being stuck at home because of my susceptibility to lung problems and #covid_19 has left me highly unmotivated to workout...
