If you’re a fitness fanatic who loves to test new accessories and apparel (variety is key!), a workout clothes subscription box is definitely worth giving a try. As with most subscriptions, a fitness box offers you the joy of opening up an assortment of new products that are delivered straight to your door, and which are often curated based on your style and fitness preferences. Beyond workout clothes, however, there are tons of activewear subscription services angled around fitness (whether you’re a yogi, a weight lifter, or an avid hiker) that also provide snacks, equipment, and wellness accessories to keep you motivated and healthy.

Signing up for a workout clothes subscription box makes it easy to have a rotation of stylish pieces (and workout accessories) to choose from at all times, and it’s also a great way to keep tabs on new fitness apparel from brands you know and love. Plus, each box comes with an opportunity to discover new items from activewear brands you may have never even heard of before. Keep reading for some of the best fitness subscription boxes to help you round out your workout routine.

1. FabFitFun

Good for: The wellness fanatic who wants a bit of everything.

Why it’s worth it: You can think of FabFitFun as more of a “wellness” subscription box than a purely fitness-focused option: It offers a seasonal assortment of full-size products from cult-favorite fitness, beauty, and lifestyle brands like R+Co, Amika, and Calpak that go beyond workouts, so you’re not just stuck with a bunch of small samples. Think bags, beauty products, accessories, and more.

Cost: Subscriptions start at $45 per season, including free shipping.

2. Ellie

Good for: Anyone looking to round out their collection of fitness apparel.

Why it’s worth it: If you’re someone who regularly works out, a robust collection of tees, bras, and leggings can help you keep moving in style. Ellie is an activewear subscription service that curates new workout looks each month. Just choose from a monthly selection of three-piece ensembles, and the brand will send picks your way. You can also add outfits and other members-only exclusive items to your order.  

Cost: Plans start at $40 per month.

3. Wantable

Good for: Those who want to try new apparel brands they’d never considered before.

Why it’s worth it: After taking a quick style quiz, a stylist from Wantable selects a range of looks based on your taste preferences that are uploaded to the brand’s Stream page. Wantable offers a collection of tops, sports bras, and other activewear pieces in sizes XS through 3X from brands like Beyond Yoga, Kensie, and others. After selecting from up to seven of your favorite items, you can try on pieces at home, and send back anything you don’t like. Subscribers are required to pay only for the pieces they keep, in addition to a $20 styling fee, which is applied to your purchase. Bonus: When you buy five or more pieces, you'll receive a 20% discount on your entire purchase.

Cost: Styling fee of $20, plus the cost of whatever items you choose to keep (activewear typically ranges from $30 to $70 per item).

4. Gainzbox

Gainzbox

Good for: The fitness aficionado who loves to snack throughout the day.

Why it’s worth it: Gainzbox is a subscription box that’s tailored to the everyday athlete.

Subscriptions are super flexible, and members can receive a free loyalty gift every three months.

Cost: $39 per month.

5. YogaClub

Good for: Present and future yoga enthusiasts.

Why it’s worth it: If you’re a yogi who appreciates a good head-to-toe ensemble, look into starting an activewear subscription with Yoga Club.

Yoga Club offers three different subscription options: The Mantra (which includes one pair of leggings), The Karma (which includes a two-piece outfit), or The Guru (which includes three pieces; usually a pair of leggings and two tops). YogaClub works with stylish clothing brands like Beyond Yoga, Splendid, Free People, and more, so you’ll likely find pieces you love.

Cost: $79 for a monthly subscription, or $89 every three months.

6. Dia & Co

The retailer offers an Active Box subscription for fitness and activewear in addition to a curated Style Box, just in case you’re looking for new everyday pieces to wear. After filling out a quiz, a Dia & Co. stylist pulls together an assortment for you to try at home for up to five days. You get to keep everything you want, and send back anything you don’t. Bonus: If you’re not sure whether you’re ready to commit to a monthly plan, Dia & Co. offers the option to request boxes on demand.

Cost: $20 service/styling fee per month, plus the cost of whatever you choose to keep (if you choose to keep everything, you get a 25% markdown).

Good for: People who live for modern workout gear.

Based on a flexible VIP membership model, you can pay a flat fee every month to get an outfit of your choosing, plus discounts on all purchases (with the option to skip a month whenever you want to).
