I Thought $12 Leggings Were a Scam — Then I Tried Fabletics VIP
As someone who lives in leggings (and aims to hit the gym at least three times a week), I’ve checked out my fair share of activewear brands. So when I kept seeing those “80% off your entire first order as a new VIP” Fabletics ads in my feed, I was intrigued — but a bit skeptical.
Can you really get any 2 pairs of leggings for only $24 when you sign up as a new “VIP”? What’s the catch?
A few of my friends raved about the quality and deals, so I finally caved and signed up for the VIP Membership. And honestly? I should have done it way sooner.
Here’s everything I wish I’d known about the Fabletics VIP Membership — before signing up:
1. The Fabric Feels So Luxe
Fabletics has the best fabrics I’ve ever worn — I’m not kidding.
I started with the PureLuxe High-Waisted TLC Legging and instantly got what the hype was about. They’re buttery-soft, but also hug in all the right places without being restrictive. Their innovative hidden booty-scrunch tech and flattering no-dig waistband create a snatched silhouette and subtle booty pop. I’m obsessed!
Another must-have is their Seamless Scrunch High-Waisted Legging. The seamless design smoothes everything out, and the scrunch detail? Let’s just say the glutes get a little extra love.
I was honestly shocked by how durable and breathable the fabrics are — especially for the price. And they’ve held up in the wash. No fading, no pilling, no weird stretching.
2. The Deals Are Almost Too Good (But They’re Real)
Let me just say this: 80% off your entire first order when you sign up as a VIP is not a scam. I paid less for an entire outfit than I used to pay for just one pair of leggings.
Right now, when you sign up as a new VIP you can get:
- 80% off everything
- 2 for $24 leggings or shorts (yup — that’s just $12 each!)
- $19 dresses, jumpsuits, and rompers
- Plus new VIP deals every month on everything from bras to outerwear.
I picked up the PureLuxe High-Waisted TLC Shorts (4″) and the Anywhere Motion365+ High-Waisted 6” Shorts in my first order, and I haven’t stopped wearing them since. They’re perfect for warm-weather workouts!
3. Their Sports Bras Are Super Cute and Supportive
I don’t know about you, but when it comes to sports bras, I’m picky. I want something that holds me in without flattening everything out — and that’s tough to find.
The Oasis Twist Medium Impact Sports Bra is my current favorite for spin and weight training. It’s flattering, functional, and stays in place. Plus, it comes in gorgeous limited edition patterns and colors like Citrine Pop, Leo Floral, or Heated Red.
For low-impact days, the PureLuxe Longline Low Impact Bra and the Plunge Low Impact Bra are so soft and comfy, I wear them outside of workouts, too. Pair one with matching shorts or leggings, and you’ve got an effortless matching set for $30-ish with the new VIP offers.
4. Style For Every Kind of Day
Fabletics isn’t just for the gym — that was a huge surprise for me.
The Sun Chaser Short (4.5″) is lightweight, breezy, and looks just as good on a hiking trail as it does grabbing lunch after. And when you mix and match with their tops and bras, it’s easy to build a wardrobe that works for any day of the week. And Fabletics also offers dresses, skirts, vests, jackets, and terrific accessories.
Whether I want to feel comfy at yoga or sporty chic while running errands, Fabletics has a piece (or three) that fits the vibe.
5. The Membership Pays For Itself — Instantly
I was hesitant about the $59.95/month VIP membership fee, which kicks in after your first purchase as a new VIP.… until I realized how much I was saving.
That monthly fee goes straight into your account as a credit — which means you can skip a month anytime. As a VIP member, I get 20-50% off retail prices whenever I want, plus first dibs on exclusive drops! I’m scoring multiple pieces for what I used to pay for one pair of name-brand leggings.
Canceling or skipping is super easy, and there’s no commitment. It’s one of the few subscriptions I will keep.
With deals like 2 for $24 on bottoms, $19 dresses, jumpsuits & rompers, and 80% off sitewide for new VIP signups — it’s a no-brainer.
To Recap…
If you love feeling confident, comfortable, and cute — whether you’re working out, lounging, or running errands — the Fabletics VIP Membership is 100% worth it.
Each month you get access to tons of styles so trying out new fits doesn’t cost a fortune. I’ve seriously never looked (or felt) better at the gym — and I’m saving so much money doing it.
So yeah… I’m officially obsessed.
