Somehow, we always think that a higher price = higher quality; this applies to clothes like activewear too. You’re going to be squatting, stretching and contorting your body in a multitude of positions, and the last thing you’d want is for a split in your leggings.
However, quality doesn’t always have to come with a hefty price tag. From local brands to Shopee stores and chain retailers, here are affordable activewear stores you can check out that won’t hurt your bank accounts.

You might have heard of Moving Peach if you’re an avid Shopee user who’s into a fitspo lifestyle. Starting from $11.04 for sports bras and $16.85 for yoga tights, the online store has over 400 products ranging in style and function for you to choose from.
If rocking just a sports bra and tights is too revealing for you, Moving Peach also has t-shirts and long-sleeve tops for extra coverage.

We’re no strangers to Decathlon. Known for stocking a wide range of sporting goods at affordable prices, it has since become the go-to megastore for all fitness equipment. But don’t sleep on its range of apparel though. For as low as $7, you’ll be able to get yourself a high-impact running sports bra, which usually retails for much higher.
They’ve also got dri-fit running shorts that come fitted with a hidden pocket for your phone.

Decathlon’s range of tights and shorts also shouts affordability with pieces starting from $7.90. They’re also pretty size inclusive with bras running from 2XS to XL and bottoms up to 3XL or UK20-22.

A homegrown activewear brand for women, Urbanized Co. keeps its prices low with all pieces going for under $35. If you find yourself having to fight your way out of your sports bra after a workout, you’d be happy to know that they have bras in both racerback and clasp designs.
Though the brand doesn’t boast an extensive collection, it’s very affordable with sports bras around $25 and tights from $29-$34. The brand also has its own lifestyle collection consisting of tank tops, sweatshirts and shorts for you to lounge in on days you’re not hitting the gym or fitness classes.

Gym junkies might be familiar with MYPROTEIN for their health supplements and protein powder. But they also have a decent collection of sportswear suited for all budgets. Starting from $26.99, choose sports bras from different support levels and outfits for different activities like yoga, running, and callisthenics.

Their tights offerings aren’t too pricey too, and $23.99 can get you a decent pair of moisture-wicking leggings. Plus, the website usually offers lower than retail prices and you’ll be able to score an additional 50% off your purchases with the promo code <SG50>.

Cheak was previously called butter, and it is a slightly pricier option on this list. They have longline sports bras that double up as casual tops you can wear to go about your day straight from the gym.
With sports bras ranging from $50 to $59 and tights from $79 to $85, they’re a little more upscale, but their reviews vouch for comfortability and apt smooth-like-butter quality. Plus, keep an eye out for frequent sales where you can get up to 50% off apparel.

The Pedler is an Instagram store that sources high-quality pieces straight from manufacturers. Pre-orders are usually open and you’ll be able to check out the available products directly on their Instagram page.
Their pieces are known for their Lululemon-like quality – but for just a tiny fraction of the price. Both tights and bras go for about $30 each and sizes range from S to XL or US 4 to 10. Though the pieces featured are mostly yoga tights and sports bras, keep an eye out for their tops and runner shorts that make an appearance every now and then.

Uniqlo might be the first place we think of when it comes to comfy basics but they have pretty decent sports apparel too. Though they don’t boast a wide range of designs and products, their leggings ($14.90-$29.90) are made from their renowned AIRism material – perfect for keeping cool in Singapore’s humid weather. Some tights also feature UV protection so you’ll be protected while enjoying outdoor activities like hiking.

Their sports bras come in 2 designs: the Wireless Racerback ($19.90-$29.90) and Wireless Bra Active Cross Back ($19.90). The former is a long line bra that doubles up as a top on its own that you can even wear daily.

Priding themselves with lightweight and breathable pieces made from Cloud fabric, Anya Active is a homegrown brand that strives to only provide top quality pieces. Their Cloud collection aims to be as comfy as wearing second skin while being fast-drying. It also isn’t crazy compressive, still providing wearers with ample support during workouts.

Their range of leggings ($65) and bras ($48) scream functionality, with a couple of designs featuring side pockets for you to keep your phone or locker keys in while working out. They also have a clearance section for older designs where sports bras go for as low as $29.90.

If you can’t bear spending $100+ on a single pair of name brand tights, Air Active on Shopee is another good dupe. You’ll be able to get comfy tights in a multitude of colours like Bean Pink, Rhino Grey, and Desert Sun for just a fraction of the price.
Their sports bras are affordable too, with prices starting from $13.82. They’ve both padded yoga tops and sports bras fitted with clasps for you to choose from. In addition to their activewear, the store also sells equipment like yoga tension straps and stretch boards to aid you in your workout.

Cotton On is definitely a familiar brand, with its Body range that has everything from lingerie and loungewear to activewear. Their tights (from $25) come in 3 different lengths – capris, 7/8, and full. For those who are more petite, go for the 7/8 length that will fit perfectly as a full length tight.

Though their sports bras ($24.99-$49.99) mostly come in solid colours, they have a few fun printed designs here and there. Keep an eye out for their 2 for $40 deals while shopping – you’ll even be able to mix and match among promotional items and customise your own workout set.

If you’re a Shopee regular, you need to add Sports Angel to your list. You can also find trendy flared yoga pants similar to the highly-raved Lululemon Nulu Pants at only $20.51. Besides that, they’ve also got padded sports bras from $10.97 and tennis skirts at $18.47.
Another affordable option on Shopee, ThinkTure Yoga Sports features mostly yoga apparel but also has sports bras of different support levels. If you’re one who loves coordinating your gym outfits, you’re in luck thanks to their matching yoga sets going from just $12.83.

Their sports bras range from $9.98-$21.77, while their tights are going from $9.62-$22.81. They’ve also got some long and short sleeve tops you can wear to the gym, for yoga or even running.
And unlike many retailers on Shopee that don’t provide an extensive size chart, ThinkTure Yoga Sports lists their sizes out according to measurements, body weight, and even cup size for sports bras. You’ll no longer have to reach for the measuring tape or desperately convert your sizes on Google.

Staying fit and getting comfortable quality sportswear doesn’t necessarily mean spending a bomb on a single piece. With these wallet-friendly activewear stores, you might just be able to snag yourself several workout pieces for the price of one pair of tights from an upscale fitness brand. Talk about mad deals.
