lucy Activewear

I will admit that about a year ago, I was very confused by the phenomenon of spending more than $ 20 on a workout top. I always said to myself, «I could get something similar for half the price at Target.» However, I started teaching exercise classes, everyone else owned expensive workout wear, and I fell under the spell. I’m glad I did, as I love my new name brand workout wear, and I can definitely feel the difference, especially in the pants.
A word of advice, if you’re going to be spending lots of money for a single top or a single pair of pants: try them on, and try them on at several stores. Each store uses a slightly different body type for their clothes. For instance, I think lululemon’s pants fit me very well, but their tops don’t work for me. On the other hand, lucy’s tops fit me like a glove.
Another word of advice: lucy always has a sale section but if you wait a little bit, they’ll have a «30% off everything already on sale» sale! I haven’t really been tracking, but my guess is that this happens about once every six weeks.
Recently, I spent over an hour in this lucy store, and I probably tried on most of the store. I was helped by a lovely young woman named Kerry, and she was oh-​so-​helpful. When I walked into the store, she noticed right away that I was wearing a lucy jacket, and then proceeded to walk me through all of their different sports bras, pants, and top options. Once I found a pair of pants that I liked, she probably brought me every single color and pattern that they had in stock. I checked out some sports bras, and I was also pleased that she directed me to their «super sale» section.
This store is lovely and has wonderful employees. Tell them all of your requests in workout attire and they’ll help you find something that works for you! Also, that lucy jacket that I own? It’s the hatha jacket and I get a compliment almost every time I wear it, and I’ve owned it for almost a year :-)

Very nice and helpful staff. They go out of their way to also show you the on sale items. They give you space to browse but are there when you need them. Love their workout clothes! Already have an awesome tank from them now and have a few other great pieces.

I came here recently, just to check out some workout tops and I’m glad I did! All tops (even the ones on sale) were 25% off!
The ladies working there were all very nice and helpful — they didn’t hover over me like a vulture, but were still around to answer any questions I may have.
I ended up getting 3 tops for just under $ 60 — score!
Too bad there isn’t a Lucy in Hawaii… yet!

I’ve been in this store many times and scoffed at the prices of the tank tops and tee shirts. Honestly, who needs to spend $ 20-​$ 60 on a tank top you’re going to get sweaty in?
However, the pants and hoodies they have are amazing. They make pants in lengths for the short and tall people and they offer a good variety. I am in love with their «Core» pants, which are a moisture wicking workout pant, and their «Walkabout» pants, which are a light casual pant. The pants fit well enough that you can look put together enough to stop somewhere before/​after the gym and still feel comfortable workout out at the gym.
The hoodies are all made of a soft, breathable cotton that is warm enough but not too warm for a sunny day. Perfect for Oregon weather in the spring.
The prices aren’t too bad. About $ 20 more than most other retail places, and it’s all local, made in the USA stuff. The customer service is a little over the top. I prefer to be left alone while shopping while these sales people prefer to hover around me begging to get me sizes and find me matching items. However, they are probably just catering to the type of people who spend $ 20-​$ 60 on a single cotton tank top so I hold no grudges.

This location is stuck in the Washington Square Mall. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly. Their products are pricey. I picked up a pair of pants and was really glad to see the label state: Made in the USA. I’ll pay for that, thank you. There was only one pushy salesperson, but overall it was still a pleasant experience.
