Thanks for contacting us. We've received your submission.

We don’t know if it’s psychology or what, but putting on a matching workout set or kicking with some new running shoes just makes us want to workout.

And, we don’t know about you, but we’re not looking to splurge on a pair of $100 leggings all the time. Budget-friendly shopping is where it’s at, and Amazon surely has the goods.

Enter our roundup of the best Amazon workout clothes under $30 — specially made for those on a budget and jam-packed with tanks, shorts and more to give your exercise clothes drawer a fresh restock.

Some picks are retailer best-sellers while others are ones we personally love (or, have our eyes on). Whether you’re hitting the gym or using your at-home rowing machine or treadmill, our picks are comfortable and the *prime* way (ha!) to have both you and your wallet feeling great.

Smooth-to-the-touch and worth your hard-earned coin, the ODODOS ODCLOUD High-Waist Buttery Soft Lounge Shorts are the two-pack we want to stretch, run and do the downward dog pose in. Their high-waisted design is oh-so-flattering and they feel almost weightless.

Not to mention, you’ll want to pick up the many different color varieties available on Amazon.

We can’t say enough good things about THE GYM PEOPLE’s Longline Wire-Free Sports Bra Tank — the No. 1 Amazon best-seller that we own and sport in numerous colors. With nearly 34,000 reviews singing its praises, it offers support and more coverage than the traditional sports bra.

Meant not just for exercising (but also to live in all day, every day), the Colorfulkoala Buttery Soft High-Waisted Full-Length Leggings have our full attention — pun totally intended. The bottoms boast more than 48,000 gleaming reviews for their four-way stretch fabric that’s lightweight, moisture-wicking and comfortable.

Even better, they’re less than $20 and come in a wealth of colors to switch up your workout look.

Perfect for running and on-the-go movement, the Hanes Wireless Racerback Sports Bra is an affordable pick-me-up at just $15. Namely, the well-rated garment (with more than 9,000 rave reviews, to be exact) features a moisture-wicking, compression-surrounding design to make you feel your best for any activity.

Meet one of the best women’s socks we rounded up: the adidas Superlite No-Show Socks. This six-pack is one of the best value-based offerings the retailer has to offer. The best part? They’ll be completely hidden for whatever sneaker you choose to stride in.

Protect yourself from the sun’s beaming rays and layer up your workout gear with the BALEAF UPF 50+ Sun Protection Cooling Jacket. With thumb-hole detailing (the very best) and a breathable design, you’ll want to add this to your workout apparel collection ASAP.

You can never have too many workout tank tops, and the Dragon Fit Sleeveless Running Tank is one of the best we located on Amazon, thanks to its loose-fitting and ultra-breathable construction. Its color offerings are all glamorous and we love its easy-to-slip-on feel as well.

If your gym likes to crank up the AC (we hear you, and we get you), then the G4Free UPF 50+ Long-Sleeve Workout Top will be a practical piece you won’t want to exercise without. Its high-low design is specially made with breathability in mind, and it pairs extremely well with your favorite leggings.

Whether you’re hitting the track or running some errands, don’t leave the house without the Gaiam Breathable Ball Cap. For just $15, it’s recommended by more than 2,000 shoppers, has a laser-cut ventilation design and allows you to stay cool while keeping the sun out. What’s not to love?

Yes, biker shorts are still widely loved, and we recommend adding the BALEAF High-Waist Biker Shorts to your cart for a budget-friendly pick. With a whopping near-87,000 reviews, this best-selling pair comes in every color and shade under the sun while offering a breathable, moisture-wicking design.

For your cross-country sprints and on-track strides, pick up the Under Armour Fly By 2.0 Running Shorts for less than $20. They’re worn-in by nearly 26,000 workout enthusiasts who appreciate the style’s lightweight fabric and mesh-paneled design.

The TARSE Capri Yoga Pants are bottoms that should nama-stay in your Amazon cart (before purchasing them, of course) because of their pajama-like feel and comfortable charm. This best-selling style is adored by more than 6,000 self-proclaimed yogis for their stretchy elastic waistband, vast catalog of color options and pocket-included design.

The Lulucheri Workout T-Shirt is one of the most lightweight workout tops on Amazon, thanks to its slightly rounded and cropped hem. Made perfect to layer with your favorite sports bra, you’ll want to pick this baby up for less than $25 each in all of its aesthetically pleasing colors.

Who can say no to pink leggings (and other colors you want to add to your stash?) The Amazon Essentials Active Sculpt High-Rise Capri Legging has an incredibly flattering appeal, slightly cropped hem and high-waisted design — all things we look for in our finest pair of leggings.

We’re all about matching sets, and the JOYSPELS 2-Piece Workout Set is the real deal (as far as working out goes). Mot only that, but it doubles as dreamy loungewear for you to rock around the house. Multiple color options are also available for this less-than-$25 grab.

For just $10, how could you say no to the Amazon Essentials Slim-Fit Tank Top. Breathable and airy, it’s a top choice among nearly 5,500 shoppers who love its widespread color options and crew neckline.

Need some new shorts? Amazon Essentials has you covered (from the waist down, anyway) with its Tech Stretch Training Short. For just $15, you’ll be impressed by its roomy fit, moisture-wicking fabric and side-panel pockets for a budget-friendly addition to your wardrobe.

Joggers are some of the most versatile clothing pieces — wear them to the gym, to grab a bite to eat for breakfast or to walk your dog. One of our favorite pairs is the FIRSTGYM Training Joggers, a style that looks designer-fledging but is just shy of $30 for that feel-good steal.

The Nike Dry Tee is less than $30, has a signature look to it and will complement any workout outfit to a T (we didn’t expect to use another pun, but here we are). With nearly 8,000 praising reviews, its cotton and sweat-wicking design is essentially second to none.

One thing’s for sure: you can never have too many pairs of socks. For this reason, we recommend the Saucony Mesh Ventilating Comfort Fit Performance No-Show Socks — a bundle of six for just $15. Yes, it’s an essential you need.

As a No. 1 Amazon best-seller, the Amazon Essentials Performance Tech Loose-Fit Shorts is perfect for the exercise aficionado who wants to stock up on a budget. Tap into the pair nearly 63,000 shoppers can’t stop raving about. Better yet, choose the two colors you’d like before checkout with the brand’s generous choice of shade combinations.

If you’re planning to up the ante on your strength training, we recommend the Anthem Athletics Dominance 7″ Inseam Training Shorts. Its snug yet breathable design helps ensure you’ll give it your all when lifting, running and stretching. Plus, its stretchy spandex blend is one to consider, especially given that it’s moisture-wicking.

Sun-protecting and lightweight, the NAVISKIN UPF 50+ Quick-Dry Shirt is a breathable option that’ll help you stay cool and feeling your best. We can’t believe it’s just $20, either, and nearly 9,500 people love its moisture-wicking fabric and versatile fit.

The Surenow 2-in-1 Stealth Running Shorts are great if you’re looking for a spot to stash your phone while you run, and we love how they fit like a glove. For less than $15, enjoy its giving fabric, adjustable drawstring make and multifunctional design that’s great for playing basketball, traveling outdoors and more.

We couldn’t resist adding the classic Under Armour Tech Tank 2.0 to our list of feel-good Amazon workout clothes. Why? It’s perfect if you love the breathability ‘muscle tees’ offer, comes in a wealth of colors for a much-needed wardrobe refresh and simultaneously wicks sweat and dries quite fast.

What’s great about the CRZ YOGA Pima Cotton Quick Dry Athletic Tee is its affordable price point, unique and slightly pastel colorways and traditional sporty feel. Its fabric is also one of the best we pulled from Amazon’s directory, both skin-sensitive and ultra-soft.

When working out, you need to ensure you’re wearing the right underwear that’s just as supportive as it is ‘nearly invisible.’ To offer practicality and a good fit, the TELALEO Spandex Compression Shorts are a five-pack worth the snag (one for every day of the week!) — all because of their four-way stretch fabric and quick-dry design.

For joggers that have a breathable edge to them, the Rapoo Sweatpants deserve a home in your Amazon cart. For one, who doesn’t love an option with pockets? And two: they look great with just about anything.

To layer it up on cooler days, the Hanes EcoSmart Fleece Zip-Up Hoodie will be your right-hand style that’s just as comfortable as it is affordable. From a trusted brand we love, this less-than-$20 purchase is great to double up on.

The MISSION Cooling Performance Hat has an impressive near-12,000 reviews for its proprietary cooling comfort technology that helps ensure you’re not overheating when outdoors. Just as good, it helps you remain cool for up to two hours before finding shade.
