Stay Active for Less | Find Affordable Workout Clothes and Gear

Ready to move, stretch, swing, or sweat? You don’t have to spend big to feel good. Whether you’re gearing up for your next workout class or finally dusting off those golf clubs, Goodwill Industries of Monocacy Valley can have everything you need to stay active, without breaking your budget.

Why Workout Clothes Matter (And Why You Shouldn’t Overpay)

The right gear can seriously boost your motivation. There’s something about slipping into a comfortable pair of leggings, a breathable tee, or golf shoes that fit just right — it makes moving feel good.

But here’s the thing: quality workout clothes don’t need to cost a fortune. In fact, secondhand gear can offer the same benefits at a fraction of the price, especially when you shop at your local Goodwill store.

At Goodwill, you can find gems like:

• Men’s and women’s activewear
• Plus-size workout clothes
• Maternity workout clothing
• Vintage 80s workout gear (hello, retro aerobics!)
• Shirts, shorts, jackets, sneakers — all in one spot

Pro Tip: Check back often. Our inventory changes daily based on community donations, and that means every visit could uncover a new find.

Where Fitness Meets Affordability

Fitness doesn’t look the same for everyone, and neither should your gear. Whether you’re into yoga or trail running, golf or group classes, there is likely something for every lifestyle on Goodwill’s racks. Here’s what you might find during your next treasure hunt:

1. Men’s and Women’s Workout Clothes

Think high-performance brands, all gently used and ready to support your next sweat session. From dri-fit shirts to moisture-wicking shorts, you’ll find items that help you perform your best — and look great doing it.

2. Plus-Size and Inclusive Options

Every body can be a workout body. Goodwill makes it easier to find sizes that work for you. Our racks typically boast plus-size fitness clothes, including stretch leggings, oversized hoodies, and breathable tops that move with you, all without the hefty price tag.

3. Maternity Workout Clothes

Staying active during pregnancy? Maternity leggings, supportive sports bras, and roomy tank tops show up frequently in our stores — all priced so you can save for the little one on the way.

4. 80s Workout Clothes & Retro Finds

Want to channel your inner Jane Fonda? Be on the lookout for the unique neon spandex find waiting for you to bring it home. The retro fitness aesthetic is often alive and well on our racks, from vintage looks to old-school pieces. Perfect for theme parties, fun runs, or just showing off your unique style.

Shopping Tips: How to Build a Budget-Friendly Fitness Wardrobe

Not sure where to start? Here’s a step-by-step guide to curating your workout wardrobe at Goodwill:

Step 1: Make a List

What are you missing? Maybe you need a warm-up jacket, new running shorts, or a comfy tank. Keep a list on your phone so you can scan quickly during your visit.

Step 2: Shop for Function, Not Just Fashion

Look for breathable fabrics, stretch-friendly materials, and moisture-wicking tags. Many top brands use these performance features, and you’ll spot them at Goodwill for less.

Step 3: Wash & Go

Once you’ve scored your haul, toss everything in the wash and it’s ready to go. A new fitness routine is only one laundry cycle away.

Used Sports Equipment That Won’t Empty Your Wallet

You don’t need to buy brand new to get started in a sport. Used sports equipment at Goodwill can be a game-changer — literally.

Here’s what you might find:

• Used Golf Clubs – Great for beginners or weekend warriors. Build your set over time with individual clubs or pick up a full set if you’re lucky.
• Exercise Mats & Foam Rollers – Ideal for yoga, stretching, and post-workout recovery.
• Dumbbells & Weights – From hand weights to dumbbells, these pieces help you build your home gym affordably.
• Golf Apparel – Polos, golf pants, visors, and even golf shoes can show up — perfect for teeing off in style.
• Tennis, Baseball, & Other Gear – Racquets, gloves, cleats — you never know what you’ll uncover.

Why Thrifted Gear = A Feel-Good Win

Shopping at Goodwill isn’t just good for your wallet. It’s good for the community and the planet, too.

Here’s how:

• You’re keeping clothes and gear out of landfills.
• You’re giving great items a second life.

Every time you buy a thrifted workout shirt or gently used yoga mat, you’re helping someone in your community gain valuable skills and access opportunities.
