Are you ready to upgrade your athletic apparel? Remember: just because you’re going to sweat in your workout fit doesn’t mean it has to be boring.
We’ve rounded up a few of our favorite local boutiques and clothing stores in Pittsburgh where you can replace your worn-out (and let’s face it, probably smelly) workout clothes with some new athletic apparel that will help you look your best for when you want to feel your best.
(P.S. – you can wear your new activewear to Made in PGH’s free workout event with SHAPE Training and GNC at Ross Park Mall on March 13th! Sign up today to join the fun.)

Just in time for spring, Dona Jo has a playful and comfy line of the most stylish tennis apparel and activewear to get you in the mood for some movement. Skirts, skorts, leggings, joggers, even dresses – whatever you’re most comfortable in, they’ve got ‘em! Everything they carry is handmade in Brazil and stitched with care to help you express yourself on the court, in the gym or even just at brunch.
Lane 51

Wexford-based boutique Lane 51 has a line of fun, comfy athletic apparel called Go-Active, and you’re going to want to go right to their website when you find out the best part: every single item is under $50. You can fill up your closet with leggings, joggers, sports bras, and pullovers without breaking the bank, and the quality is on par with some of those national brands that charge twice that for a single pair of leggings.
Moda Pittsburgh
