Shop this Team SG-curated roundup of 32 men’s workout clothes under $100

Hooboy! We’re in the thick of January now, which tends to be both a miserable time of year generally and a make-or-break moment for those resolutions we all made a few weeks ago.

How are yours going, by the way? I’m doing alright so far, using my walking pad most days after work to burn some extra steps, and bringing a healthy, homemade lunch to the office daily. I feel a bit smug, to be honest!

However, I am always quickly brought down to earth by my (wonderful, loving) annoying boyfriend, one of those enviably motivated people who happily goes to the gym six days a week, and while I can’t prove it, may have actually invented the concept of meal prep.

His sizable workout wear wardrobe has inspired me to upgrade my own fitness gear; after all, what’s the point in upgrading your lifestyle if you can’t have a fun little shopping montage moment to accompany one’s glow-up?

It may surprise you that I believe workout wear goes firmly in the “save” category of spending. It all gets washed and worn with such ferocity that I cannot imagine worrying over the care of expensive, sweat-wicking tee.

Like you would ever find me line-drying a sports bra? Please.

Whether you worship at the altar of sweat, or if you’re just starting your fitness journey (like me!), you don’t need to splurge on expensive clothes for the gym, your weekly Barry’s Bootcamp classes, or at-home Peloton rides. 

There are tons of good-looking and high-performing activewear options out there at an affordable price point.

I’m talking: gym clothes that you can wash and wear with abandon—allowing you to focus on your fitness goals, not your budget. (Unless you’re also focusing on your budget in 2025, in which case, go off, high-achieving king!)
