Fabletics is everywhere—from Instagram ads to fitness studios.
But is it really worth your money and closet space?
As someone who buys and tests activewear for both personal workouts and brand research for FuKi Gymwear, here’s my first-hand, structured review.
Yes—for many shoppers.
Fabletics is worth it if you want affordable, fashion-forward activewear and don’t mind a monthly membership model.
It’s less ideal if you prefer one-time purchases or premium technical gear for extreme workouts.
| Aspect | Details |
|---|---|
| Founded | 2013 by actress Kate Hudson |
| Category Focus | Leggings, sports bras, tops, menswear |
| Global Reach | Online + 90+ retail stores worldwide |
The brand’s mission is to give designer-style activewear at mid-level prices, with constant new drops.
From my personal testing:
For HIIT or long-distance running, some athletes might prefer ultra-technical fabrics like those from Lululemon or Nike.
Fabletics’ pricing is built around a VIP subscription:
| Plan | Price | Perks |
|---|---|---|
| VIP Member | $59.95/month credit | Up to 50% off retail |
| Guest | Retail price | No monthly commitment |
Tip:
If you buy activewear monthly, the VIP plan saves money.
If you shop rarely, you may pay more or forget to “skip” a month.
It’s this mix of fashion and practicality that makes Fabletics a social media favorite.
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| Affordable VIP pricing | Requires skipping monthly charge |
| Trendy, Instagram-ready designs | Not the most technical fabrics |
| Wide size range & body inclusivity | Returns may take longer than local stores |
| Frequent new collections | Can feel overwhelming for minimalists |
Great choice if you:
