As an activewear supplier at FuKi Gymwear, I often hear customers and startup brand owners ask:
“Is Fabletics really worth it for the price and membership commitment?”
The short answer: Fabletics can be worth it if you shop activewear regularly and use the membership benefits wisely.
Below, I’ll share a full guide based on real experiences and industry knowledge to help you decide confidently.
Founded in 2013 by Kate Hudson, Fabletics is known for:
If you like stylish workout sets that move from gym to street, Fabletics gives many options at mid-range prices.
Fabletics uses a membership subscription model.
Here’s the monthly cycle:
| Step | Action | Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Pay $59.95/month | Amount becomes a store credit |
| 2 | Shop or skip by the 5th | Avoids auto-charge if you don’t need new clothes |
| 3 | Credits never expire | Use them for future purchases |
| 4 | Enjoy up to 50% off | Big savings if you shop monthly |
👉 You can also shop as a guest at regular prices if you prefer no subscription.
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| Stylish, durable fabrics | Must remember to skip each month |
| Great value for frequent shoppers | Unused credits tie up money |
| Frequent new collections | Returns/exchanges can take time |
| Size inclusivity (XXS–4X) | Best value only if you buy regularly |
From my sourcing experience, quality rivals Lululemon and Athleta, but at a lower cost when VIP benefits are used well.
| Brand | Typical Legging Price | Fabric/Performance | Ideal Shopper |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fabletics VIP | $24–$50 | Moisture-wicking, squat-proof | Frequent buyers |
| Lululemon | $88–$128 | Premium technical fabrics | Performance-focused |
| Athleta | $60–$100 | Sustainable, all-day comfort | Eco-conscious |
