Fabletics
Fabletics is a VIP fitness and athleisure clothing subscription from the same family as Shoedazzle and JustFab that starts at $49.95 a month. Members can shop Fabletics activewear two ways: shop at the regular store, or sign up for the VIP program and get 40%-50% off the full price. Each month, members get access to an exclusive collection of performance sports bras, leggings, workout tops, jackets, sneakers, and more in women’s sizes XXS-3X at VIP prices. Shop a la carte, pick from coordinated new outfits curated just for you, or choose to skip the month — it’s all up to you. First-time monthly subscription members will start out by taking the Fabletics quiz, which will let the company know your size, personal style, and fitness needs. Then each month Fabletics will curate looks that match those preferences, with outfits starting at around $24 for new VIP members. Shop the looks at 40%-50% off, or skip the month. If you take no action, the $49.95 fee will be saved to your account as a store credit, which you can use on items later.

What We Love
- Fabletics offers tons of colors and styles, from pretty patterned looks to edgy styles with modern cut-outs & textures, there’s truly something for every style and every type of workout.
- Got curves? Fabletics leggings have been a hit with our curvier reviewers, & they offer low, medium, and high-impact bras for sizes XXS-3X. In short, they’re great for just about any body type.
- The flexibility! Only shop for workout clothes when you want, and skip the month if you’re not feeling it. And if you forget to take any action, not to worry – your styling fee is saved to your account for future use.
- These looks last! Fabletics’ performance-quality pieces hold up workout after workout, wash after wash.
What You Should Know
- The Fabletics VIP membership program can be confusing if you've never belonged to a similar membership program, so make sure you understand how it works and that it’s right for you before you sign up.
- Here's the deal: By the 5th of the month, VIP members must choose whether to shop and checkout or choose the “skip” option in their account to avoid any charge. If you take neither action, Fabletics will charge you $49.95, which saves as a “credit” on your account. One credit is worth one entire outfit, and you can redeem your credit for an outfit whenever you’d like.
- We recommend setting a calendar reminder to ensure you make your decision by the monthly deadline (and avoid unwanted charges)!
We Recommend Fabletics If
- Want to expand your workout wardrobe with high-quality, well-fitting pieces.
- Like the ease of a subscription, but want the assurance that you’re getting pieces you know you’ll enjoy.
- You’re budget-conscious—you want to determine what you spend each month, even if that’s $0.
- Enjoy variety and are looking for fitness apparel outside of the traditional black-leggings-and-sports-bra uniform.

Everything started off great. Their leggings and bras really are nice. My problem is with customer service and shipping. I never received my second order. Somehow, the items were returned without me ever receiving them. I contacted customer service and was told I could get store credit or cash back. My ordered items were unavailable. I opted for cash. After the next month none of the outfits appealed to me. I canceled my membership which can only be done via phone with a live representative. The wait time was long. Overall, even really nice leggings aren't worth all of the hassle.

The quality of Fabletics cannot be understated. I love that I can buy what I want or skip the month and there are always amazing deals for my birthday and holidays. Comfy and sexy. Late Hudson’s Fabletics items are my favorite workout wear!

I love Kate Hudson workout subscription plan, it really fit well into mine. She's always friendly and free with her clients, which makes working with her much fun
I am really impressed with Fabletics. All tyeir workout clothing matrial are of high quality, and Kate made sure my workout clothes are always of my size

I love Fabletics. Their mateials are of high quality. The leggings I bought was really good and fitting. Their customer service was always available whenever I needed their help. There was a time I needed help with my subscription service, I contacted their spokesperson, Kate Helson and she was able to iron out the problem.

I've been very disappointed with Fabletics. Everything I've purchased from them has fallen apart within a few months. Sadly, the seams give out shortly after I've submitted a glowing review of the product on their site. At this point I would prefer to spend more money for a higher quality product that lasts longer.

I loved Fabletics, until I needed to return something that was bought on sale. All I wanted to do was exchange for a different size and because I bought it on sale, they would not allow me to.
I ended by subscriptions right then and then. If you can't try it on before you buy it and you can't return/exchange items purchased on sale - They are not worth the risk.

Trying to cancel. Web site tells me to call an 800 number. That gives me a machine that it takes 15 minutes to get through before it routes me to a supposed human. I'm still on hold waiting for that human. I cannot believe how hard and time consuming they are making this!!!

I love fabletics, but I hate the price! The quality is better on some items than others. All of the capris that are black that I have bought, all get faded really quick! The price for the outfits are a bit much, especially for every month, so I skip months a lot. One month I ordered an outfit and they sent me a completely wrong outfit that I did not order, they sent me a return label to print out and return it, but then the outfit I did want was sold out. Luckily, the item was available for back order, so I used the store credit on that outfit to pay for the item that was on back order. However, my card ended up being charged for the backorder item, even though they assured me that it would be store credit applied to pay for the item, but I guess it got messed up. They did end up getting it straightened out eventually, but it took a lot of hours on the phone, because the call center people barely speak English, so I have to wait for a manager to help, and then explain what happened, and then they act as if it is not that much of a problem, even though it really is. Therefore, I would say that the outfits are cute, customer service isn't that great, but with any sub service, there are technical errors that can happen!

At first I really liked it, pretty good quality (better than Old Navy) but expensive and then I went on vacation and didn't skip the month and got overpriced things I didn't want and no matter what they tell you while signing up: they can c hangs the day you skip period ends, there is no way to "unbuy" those credits and you can't really get a bunch of sale items because they require you to use all the money and they're good at math like that (sale would leave you over or under) and those headbands are a waste and should be free since their just advertising. Knew what j was getting into but still felt scammed from the rude customer service.

FAQ
How does Fabletics work?
Fabletics memberships will run you $49.95 per month unless you choose to skip. Each month, Fabletics VIP members will have until the 5th to shop the site, choose the “skip” option in their account (in which case, you won’t be charged anything), or do nothing. If you do nothing, Fabletics will charge you $49.95, which will be saved to your account as a “credit.” Credits can be redeemed for one outfit each.
How much does Fabletics cost?
Up to you! If you choose the “skip” option in your account by the 5th of the month, you won’t be charged anything. You can also shop between the 1st and the 5th of the month, spending however much you’d like. (Outfits start at $49.95, but accessories like bags, headbands, and more are available for under $10!) If you take neither action by the 6th of the month, you’ll be charged $49.95, but that money simply saves to your account as a “credit.” Credits can be redeemed for one outfit each. Use your credits as soon as you’d like, or wait to use them on a future month’s purchase—whatever works for you!
How do you skip a month of Fabletics?
Skipping the month is easy, but time-sensitive. Just follow these steps: Between the 1st and 5th of each month, log in to your Fabletics account. Click the red “Skip the Month” button at the top of your My Outfits page. It should be front and center, right beneath the “Welcome Back” message. Once it’s clicked, it should be replaced with gray text saying, “You skipped this month.” Our tip: Since skipping the month is time-sensitive, we recommend setting a calendar reminder or marking the 5th in your planner to make sure you don’t miss the deadline!
Do you have a Fabletics promo code or coupon?
You can start your membership by getting two pairs of leggings for just $24 when you use this link! One of the perks of membership is Fabletics also holds occasional sales and promotions that are for existing members-only.
Is it easy to cancel Fabletics?
While getting in touch with Fabletics is pretty simple, we’ve heard from some former members that customer service isn’t always the most accommodating. Here’s what to look out for based on their experiences: Fabletics customer service might try to convince you to just skip future months rather than cancel completely. Be firm about what you’d like to do! You may not be refunded for the credits saved to your account. For that reason, we recommend redeeming them for outfits and then canceling.
Is Fabletics Actress Kate Hudson’s leggings brand?
Yes! Kate Hudson co-founded Fabletics in 2013.
Are Fabletics leggings worth it?
Fabletics is a favorite among our reviewers, partially because of the flexibility of the membership, but especially because of the quality of the clothing. The leggings in particular hold up well over time, workout after workout, and wash after wash. And the curvier folks on our team tend to like the fit—many Fabletics compression styles (like their high-waisted PowerHold styles in particular) do a great job of staying put (and not sliding down) without being restrictive. Check out our reviews to learn more!
From the Brand
JustFab Inc. Co-CEOs, Don Ressler and Adam Goldenberg, launched Fabletics with Kate Hudson after they saw a gap in the activewear marketplace: there were plenty of luxury brands, but none that offered stylish and high quality gear at an accessible price point. These three unstoppable innovators joined forces to create the Fabletics brand in 2013.
