The Good

• Affordable with discounts: “If you sign up for a new Fabletics membership, you get a really good discount. You can cancel immediately after you’re done shopping.” (14 upvotes)
• Fun designs, decent quality for price: “I have some Fabletics, LL, and CRZ… While I think the patterns of Fab leggings are fun, the quality isn’t quite as good as LL — but you’re also not paying LL prices.” (18 upvotes)
• PowerHold leggings loyalists: “I LOVE Fabletics. Their powerhold leggings are my absolute FAVORITE! Love them more than my Lulu leggings.” (28 upvotes)
• Men’s line gets praise: “+1 Recommendation for Fabletics stuff here. For the price (when on sale and using the offers they send out) I haven’t found anything else for men that comes close in terms of quality.” (27 upvotes)

The Not So Good

• Inconsistent quality: “I’m gonna dissent — I hate Fabletics. Everything I’ve gotten there the quality has been garbage (my bras are literally unraveling after a few wears).” (14 upvotes)
• Fit runs inconsistent across products “I have a slim athletic build and the smallest size leggings are still a little too big… I don’t think they’re true to size.” (18 upvotes)
• Subscription frustrations: “The subscription thing is irritating… they give you about a 5 day window to cancel each month or it bills you £55 for clothes you didn’t ask for.” (27 upvotes)
• Durability concerns: “Their stuff doesn’t hold up particularly well (got a hole in a shirt, both pairs of my shorts have faded).” (49 upvotes)

Comparison to Alternatives

• Lululemon: Better quality but much higher price.
• Old Navy (Powersoft): Frequently called the best budget dupe — “I usually pay $17–20 a pair.” (80 upvotes)
• Target (All In Motion): Reliable basics at a fraction of the price. (23 upvotes)
• CRZ Yoga (Amazon): Popular for durability and close Align dupes. (25 upvotes)
• Athleta: Mid-range alternative; pricier than Fabletics but more consistent quality. (44 upvotes)

The Verdict

Reddit’s verdict on Fabletics is mixed. The brand is appealing for deep discounts and stylish patterns, but users widely criticize the subscription model and note uneven product quality. Many recommend only buying with promotional pricing — otherwise, alternatives like Old Navy, Target, CRZ Yoga, or Prana offer better long-term value.

In short: Fabletics is fine as a deal play, but not reliable as a full-price go-to brand.
