If your workout clothing drawer could use a refresh, you’re not alone. Out of all the things we love to shop for, basics like workout clothes aren’t at the top of our minds. Sometimes, the hardest part about going to the gym is getting dressed, especially if you’re trying to adopt a 5 a.m. routine. That said, having a strong collection of cute workout sets can make achieving your goal of hitting the gym that much easier. My biggest motivator? New clothes—and even more so if they arrive with two-day shipping thanks to Amazon Prime.

Nothing will get you up and out to that early-morning workout class like a fresh activewear set that you can’t wait to show off. Speaking of classes, we know this can be an expensive hobby. From workout sneakers to gym memberships, it all adds up, which makes Amazon’s affordable selection even more appealing. (And did we mention that Amazon Prime Day is coming up? So there are even better deals to be had.) Is that an extra pep in the step of your new workout shoes I’m sensing, or is it just your joy over fast Prime shipping?

Ahead, find our ultimate guide to the best Amazon activewear finds $40 and under. Frankly, even if you hate physical activity, athleisure is for everyone—no exercise required. These pieces are also great for lounging, working from home, or styling with the best 2024 fashion trends. So, what are you waiting for? Scroll on to start updating your workout ’fits.

We’re big fans of the one-piece here at ELLE. It’s stylish, sexy, functional, and EASY. Plus, it eliminates the problem of your tee or tank top flopping into your face or riding up with every downward-facing dog.

Sizes: S-L

Material: 90% Nylon, 10% Spandex

Customer review: “I love the ribbed look. Definitely surprised to find such a great, quality jumpsuit on Amazon. It’s true to size. I’ve ordered multiple colors. I love it so much.”

If you’re tired of wearing the same old black sports bra to the gym, mix things up with a one-shoulder set that comes in over 20 colors, just in case you want to coordinate your sneakers to your outfit.

Sizes: XXS-3X

Material: 75% Nylon, 25% Spandex

Customer review: “Not only do I get SO many compliments when I wear this but it is very supportive (I do lots of HIIT work-outs). Have had this product for about a year now and it has held up super nicely with no loss of elasticity in the fabric. What I love about this most is you could dress up this top to create a nice outfit. It's a very versatile piece and I currently have this in three colors and the same great quality with all of them.”

Sometimes you just need a sports bra that doubles as your top! Plus, the square neckline is very on-trend.

Sizes: 2XS-XL

MaterialL: 81% Polyamide, 19% Lycra

Customer review: “The fit was great and it didn’t give my 32DD bust even a hint of uniboob problems. Only thing that some people might dislike is even though it has removable cups if you have a tendency to nip out hard it will show through the cups a little.”

Who said activewear had to be boring? Check out these printed biker shorts that come in a ton fun prints and feature flattering seams above the booty.

Sizes: 2XS-3XL

Material: 75% Nylon, 25% Spandex

Customer review: “When I say these are my favorite work out shorts. They do not have a front seam so you don’t have to worry about it being uncomfortable while you’re moving around, and the waist seam is tight but not uncomfortable so they never slip down. They are not the slightest bit see though...not to mention how flattering they are, i have them in 6 colors.”

Take the guesswork out of getting dressed for the gym entirely by wearing a matching set, especially if you’re aiming to be at a class early in the morning.

Sizes: XS-XL

Material: Elastic

Customer review: “I have this in three colors now. The fabric is great, stretchy, and perfect for working out. I don't wear a sports bra underneath either, as there is plenty of support. I highly recommend!”

Designed to offer medium support for A to C cup, this versatile workout tank with a built-in bra and elegant twist detailing at the back will transform your athleisure game.

Sizes: XS-XL

Material: 75% Polyester, 25% Spandex

Customer review: “The coverage is great, and I can wear it to sleep without my girls falling out of it, to my Turbo Kick class, and to play volleyball and feel fully supported. It is also surprisingly stretchy, enough that I can pull it up or down to nurse my baby.”

This seamless bra and shorts set comes in eight sophisticated shades with a ribbed detail that gives way to just enough elasticity so it remains ridiculously comfortable while keeping you supported.

Sizes: S-L

Material: 90% Nylon, 10% Elastane

Customer review: “It fits perfectly. It looked like I was photoshopped in real life. The top has padding in it so it will shape you and push you up, and the bottoms are very secure and will suck you in.”

Maybe you’ve spotted these on TikTok, or maybe you haven’t, but we’re here to tell you: Get these shorts (they come in 10 different colors!). The flowy exterior is layered with fitted shorts underneath for a feminine skort effect, which we obviously love.

Sizes: S-2XL

Material: 87% Spandex, 13% Nylon

Customer review: “Legit the softest shorts I own. They run a little small so size up! If you have a bigger butt they might ride up on you but they are so comfy.”

With over 5,000 5-star reviews, it’s safe to say these biker shorts are beloved.

Sizes: XS-2XL

Material: 75% Polyester, 25% Spandex

Customer review: “These are my absolute favorite biker shorts I own. It’s hard for me to find biker shorts that will actually stay up because I have a flat back! All of my other shorts I constantly have to pull up all day long. These stay exactly where you put them and never move. I love! Already ordered a second pair and need to get a couple more now that summer is here.”

Many of the 33 color options here come with a three-piece set: bike shorts, a short-sleeve crop top, and a spaghetti strap sports bra. Reviewers mention the material is thick and compressive in the best possible ways.

Sizes: S-L

Material: 90% Nylon, 10% Spandex

Customer review: “An absolute must-get. This set is unbelievably comfortable, stretchy, and hugs your body in the best places.”

Elevate your leggings look with this high-neck top that features a built-in sports bra. Done in 10 sophisticated colors and super-soft polyamide, this second-skin active top is great for a workout just as much as it is for going out.

Sizes: XS-XXL

Material: 80% Nylon, 20% Spandex

Customer review: “I give this 5 stars because it is so comfortable. I like the high neckline and that it looks nice with tank tops.”

In the market for a top that is just as stylish in or out of the gym? This longline sports bra offering a flattering scoop neck and over a dozen color options may just be your answer. Also, some reviewers even note it’s just as soft as Lululemon’s popular Align alternative.

Sizes: XS-2XL

Material: 80% Polyamide, 20% Spandex

Customer review: “The fabric is so soft, stretchy, and opaque yet sleek enough where it won’t pill. The fabric hugs me in and doesn’t gape at my waist. There is a lot of structure to the top which aids in providing medium support and functionality to the top even without adjustable straps.”

Consider this high-waisted running short your newest summer essential. Not only is it lightweight with a mesh liner built in, but it’s also quick-drying, meaning you won’t feel sticky even after a long run. Best of all, it has zippered pockets.

Sizes: XS-2XL

Material: 90% Polyester, 10% Spandex

Customer review: “These shorts are perfect for running! They stayed in place the whole time.”

You won’t even need a sports bra since this tank does double duty with a built-in push-up to give you an extra oomph.

Sizes: XS-L

Material: Polyester, Spandex

Customer review: “The quality of this is just so perfect. I bought the white, and it is not sheer at all. It's a stretchy but totally not see through material. It hits my waist in just the right spot; it can either be an undershirt or a regular shirt. And the straps are just wide enough to be able to wear a regular bra with it.”

Few things compare to that trusty go-to sports bra that can handle anything, no matter what last-minute workout class you have on your schedule. This one has over 20,000 (!) 5-star reviews; customers rave about how comfortable it is and how it can be worn as a top.

Sizes: S-XL

Material: 80% Polyamide, 20% Spandex

Customer review: “I could easily own every color they make, wear one every day and replace my actual bras. They are that comfortable!”

For a durable pair of ankle leggings that are sure to flatter you from every angle, we think we’ve found a winner. This nylon-spandex style has a seamless, no-dig waistband and is ideal for those who prefer lighter compression out of their leggings. Not to mention these also feature deep pockets so you can go hands-free (the way to be).

Sizes: XS-2XL

Material: 80% Nylon, 20% Spandex

Customer review: “This pair in particular was far better for me personally than its ‘buttery soft’ counterparts. I’ve had six kids, so I have mama fluff and prefer athletic pants with more waist support. These stay tight and in place all day and help flatten my tummy.”

Make a statement in every yoga class with this playful crisscross strappy sports bra, which is available in 16 different colors and is perfect for mixing up your workout drawer.

Sizes: XS-XL

Material: 71% Polyamide, 29% Spandex; Lining: 64% Polyamide, 36% Spandex

Customer review: “This is my favorite sports bra right now! Perfect amount of support for being a 34DD. Great material and super flattering.”

Tank tops are a cornerstone of any good workout wardrobe and often some of the most forgotten staples. Throw a set of these in your gym bag, and never worry about what to wear post-shower again.

Sizes: S-XL

Material: 70% Nylon, 25% Polyester, 5% Spandex

Customer review: “These tanks have made my top 3! Not only are they incredibly comfortable and flattering, but their versatility knows no bounds. Whether I'm hitting the gym or heading out for the day, they're my go-to choice. The ribbed material is just everything on this, making them so flattering on any body. Plus, their neutral colors make them perfect for layering and styling in countless ways. They truly are amazing tank tops that seamlessly complement any look! I have them in so many different colors, definitely a must have basic.”

This versatile longline bra looks just like your favorite everyday thin strap tank. It offers light support that over 42,000 reviewers swear by for yoga, spinning, barre class, and more.

Sizes: S-2XL

Material: 87% Nylon, 13% Spandex

Customer review: “Good support but not flattening. It’s super flattering and a perfect length for anything high-waisted.”

We came for the cropped ankle length, but we stayed for the customer photos of full-size wine bottles that fit comfortably in the pockets. The reviews on these leggings are beyond entertaining—seriously, go check them out.

Sizes: XS-3XL

Material: 88% Polyamide, 12% Spandex

Customer review: “HOLY CRAP!! I bought these after seeing my friend wearing a similar pair... But little did I know the heaven that would grace my butt when I put these on... As you can see in the picture that’s a full-size bottle of rosé in my pocket, and trust me when I tell you I could run from the police in these things and trust that my precious pink (I’m referring to the rosé...) is just as safe and secure as my kids once were in their baby carriers. Thick, COMFY, supportive material.”
