I have a HECK of a time finding fun/comfortable/attractive workout wear for women. I'm not a 3X but i'm not a size 2 either. Anyone have any suggestions for either local retail or online establishments? How can this be such a hard thing?? Sheesh...

I've found some great stuff at TJ Maxx, Costco, and sporting goods stores.

Athleta is online and also has a few locations in Northern VA.

What type of clothing were you looking for--running? training? Tennis?

What size are you? Not size 2, and not size 3x is a HUGE range.

I got a bunch of stuff at Nordstrom Rack in Fairfax when it first opened, but they've changed their inventory quite a bit and I don't know if they still carry much fitness apparel. More recently, I've gotten some tanks and compression shorts at Old Navy.

I've never shopped at Lucy in Fairfax Corner (too pricey for my taste) but they might fit the bill for you. They're online, too.

I get all of my workout wear from Costco or Target since it's on the cheaper end! Pretty much any mall in the area has multiple sporting goods/athletic wear stores.

Why not go with something that is comfortable and practical for working out?
I don't see how workout clothing can be "fun" and I haven't seen any of it that is outright attractive.
There are numerous places to find things to work out in that are a reasonable cost, practical, comfortable and quality.

Sports bras, yoga clothing, womens sportswear, athletic apparel - Title Nine

Have never actually purchased anything from them but a former neighbor did. Looks like they have nice stuff.

Too busy exercising. Or watching TV while in the garment in question.
