Want hot new fitness gear dropped off at your door every few weeks? No problem. Fitness brands have taken on the Birchbox-inspired, subscription-based model of delivering monthly goods. What’s more, these fit deliveries are curated and tailored to match your personal style and workout needs. Sign up for one of our top picks below right now and you’ll lookamazing this summer—without having to spend hours shopping and wiggling in and out of spandex in a too-hot dressing room. Because you should never sweat the shopping—save that part for your workout.
1. SweatStyle
Founder Helena Cawley isn’t new to the exercise scene—she’s a co-owner of Uplift, a boutique, women’s-only studio in New York. After hearing the fashionable, fitness style wants of her clientele, she decided to start her personalized shopping biz. You’ll fill out a questionnaire about your workouts and personal style; the team at SweatStyle cull together packages of fitness gear from brands like HPE, ALALA, Koral and Nux. Every three months, you’ll receive a brand-new box—then have five days to decide what to keep and what to mail back in the prepaid packaging provided.
$20 per delivery (applied towards items you keep) plus price of items kept; mysweatstyle.com.
2. Wantable
Start the fitness questionnaire that asks about your workouts, sizes, color preferences and budget. The Wantable team’s style editors will then use that information to handpick five items just for you. You’ll have a few days to try on the gear, and you’re only billed for the items you keep. If you already have enough leggings, let’s say, there’s a place to note what types of apparel you want more or less of—you don’t have to receive full outfits each time. Expect to find really cool pieces from brands including Body Language Sportswear, Lole, Trina Turk and more in your monthly box.
$20 styling fee (applied to items you keep) plus price of items kept; wantable.com.
3. Lace Up Style
Use this site to browse the latest athleisure pieces from brands including Michi, Olympia and Pilot Athletic. Add what you like to your shopping cart, and when checking out, be sure to select “yes” under the “try it on” option. You’ll have two days to try everything on and see what you love most in the comfort of your own home. (Taking a selfie is recommend!) Pack up what you don’t want and send it back—tags on—for free. You’ll only have to cash out for items you keep.
Prices range depending on pieces; laceupstyle.com.
4. Fabletics
A-List celebrity Kate Hudson is the mastermind behind this activewear line. Instead of shopping for other brands, the apparel offered is all from Fabletics. Sign up for a VIP membership and on the first of every month you can expect a slew of looks and pieces selected just for you. Pick a top and bottom that you love and your credit card will automatically be charged the monthly rate, a lean $50 for a full outfit! You can also choose to skip the month if you’re not in need of new garb. Want something a la carte? It’s possible, but you’ll have to pay an extra fee.
$49.95 per month with VIP membership; fabletics.com.
