There’s nothing more motivating for a workout than slipping into gear that makes you feel as good as you look. A confidence-boosting sports bra, leggings that don’t roll down, or joggers that hit at just the right length (especially for petite women like Katie!) can actually make the gym feel less like a chore and more like a runway. That sweet serotonin boost can only be rivaled by one thing: finding those perfect fits on sale.
Starting today, Athleta is launching its highly anticipated Friends & Family Sale, offering up to 30 percent off sitewide. That means you can stock up on bestsellers, test out trending styles, or finally grab the pieces you’ve had sitting in your cart for weeks. And, yes, their most popular products are included.
First up: The Venice Joggers, which come with more than 9,000 five-star reviews singing their praises. Reviewers rave about the “no-dig waistband” and the buttery-soft feel that makes them the kind of pants you’ll never want to take off. They’re proof that loungewear can look polished.
In the market for more pants? TikTok can’t stop talking about the Brooklyn Pants, and for good reason: They’re crafted from a wrinkle-resistant stretch fabric that drapes like tailored trousers but feels like your comfiest leggings. They’re the ultimate plane pants, but seamlessly double as desk-to-dinner slacks.
This sale couldn’t come at a better time. As we transition into fall and the weather finally cools, it’s time for brisk hikes, outdoor jogs, long walks, and layering-friendly athleisure looks. It’s also the season when you start craving those versatile wardrobe staples that move seamlessly from errands to workouts to travel.
To give you a head start, we rounded up our five favorite picks from Athleta’s Friends & Family Sale. Just a heads-up: Colors and stock are already selling out quickly, and the sale officially wraps on Monday, September 29.
Athleta Venice Jogger

Like we mentioned, these pants have a serious cult following. As one reviewer put it, “The Venice High Rise Jogger has become a staple in my daily wear!! They can easily go from home, to coaching at the gym and can be dressed up! And I am very grateful for the petite sizing!!”
Athleta Brooklyn Ankle Pant
Athleta
We’re often guilty of overpacking, which makes these versatile pants a holiday must-have. Not only will they stay wrinkle-free after a long red-eye, but once you touch down you can dress them up with heels or down with sneakers without anyone batting an eye.
Athleta Pranayama Restore Wrap
Athleta
For a refined yet effortless layer, reach for this versatile cardigan. Whether slipped on over leggings en route to yoga or styled with denim for a day of errands, its supple drape makes it an essential piece for everyday wear.
Athleta Elation Legging
Athleta
Few things are more frustrating than ill-fitting leggings. This pair solves that problem with a flattering silhouette, breathable fabric, and a supportive three-layer waistband that stays comfortably in place without pinching or rolling.
Athleta Dash Jacket
Athleta
Consider this the perfect fall jacket. Lightweight yet warm, it’s crafted from breathable Limitless Luxe fabric that keeps you comfortable on chilly walks without overheating on unexpectedly warm autumn nights. A water-repellent finish also ensures you’re covered if the forecast suddenly turns rainy!
