25 Fitness Wear Options for Plus-Size Women

Are you looking for plus size fitness wear? When I first started exercising on a regular basis, I was almost 100 pounds overweight. It’s tough enough gathering the courage to work out at all but add to that the pain of trying to find workout clothes that fit. You may want to throw in the towel altogether. Thankfully the fitness industry now offers more cute and comfortable plus-size activewear options. Here are 25 fitness wear options for plus-size women.

If you are plus-size and work out, first of all, I want to say, YOU ROCK, MY FRIEND! I know it’s hard. Getting up the courage to step outside for a walk or run or to go through the gym doors, is really tough.

Please don’t quit. You are doing this amazing thing for yourself, and the people who are there are silently applauding you. I know I am. I am only inspired and impressed by you.

Important Tips for Purchasing Plus-Size Workout Clothing

Invest in quality. Yes, I know it’s expensive, but it’s well worth it to find clothing that fits. Clothes you feel good in will seriously make the difference between if you actually go to the gym or not. Besides the clothing on this list, I recommend workout clothing from Kohls and Lane Bryant as high-quality clothes you will want to keep working out in.
Buy athletic fabrics. “I’m not an athlete” you might say. That’s fine, but do you sweat? You need moisture-wicking material, not cotton t-shirts.
Do not use dryer sheets with athletic wear. Over time a film builds up and they lose their moisture-wicking properties. I wash on delicate and line-dry all my workout clothes.
Don’t be afraid of form-fitting items. (I know, scary!) But this is what’s really cool about form-fitting workout clothes — they hold it all in. I cannot have my fat jiggling all around when I work out. Form-fitting pants and shirts help. I also have loose skin from my 100 pound weight loss and form-fitting pants especially help hold it in so there is less chaffing. If need be, get some form-fitting capris and wear shorts over them.
Try Body Glide to prevent chaffing and Gold Bond Medicated Powder if a rash develops.
Shorts riding up? Try capri-length work-out pants. Not too hot, but no riding-up issues.
Shoes. You need good ones, especially if you are heavier. Check out this post with tips for how to find the right workout shoes for you.
