I went on a bit of a workout set shopping spree recently and I have zero regrets. I did a bunch of work to find cute workout sets for women over 50 so you don’t have to!
Matching workout sets have become one of my favorite ways to approach getting dressed for a workout — when your top and bottom already coordinate you feel put together from the moment you put them on. And feeling good in your gear genuinely makes you more likely to show up and work hard.
I bought seven sets, tried every single one on, and photographed each one so you can see exactly what they look like in real life — not just on a model. Here is my honest take on each one.
Table of Contents
Set 1 — CRZ YOGA Dark Tie Dye Set
CRZ YOGA Naked Feeling Strappy Padded Sports Bra and Secretsculpt Butterlift Biker Shorts 5″
This set stopped me in my tracks when I saw it online and it is even better in person. The dark tie dye pattern is sophisticated and moody — nothing basic about it. The sports bra has a beautiful criss cross strappy back that looks as good as it performs and the fabric is incredibly soft against your skin. The Secretsculpt Butterlift shorts have no front seam which means zero bunching or irritation right where you need it most, deep pockets, and a booty scrunch detail that is very on trend right now. The fabric matches perfectly top to bottom which is not always a given with mix and match pieces.
Best for: Peloton rides, yoga, gym workouts, women who want sophisticated style

Set 2 — Hot Pink Running Set
RUNNING GIRL Padded Strappy Sports Bra and THE GYM PEOPLE High Waisted Running Shorts
I love this set. The hot pink is bold, bright, and completely on brand for anyone who believes life is too short for boring workout clothes. The RUNNING GIRL bra has very supportive and comfortable straps that stay in place during movement and the criss-cross back adds a fun style detail. The Gym People shorts have a nice wide waistband that sits securely without digging in and zipper pockets for your essentials. Quick dry fabric makes these perfect for summer running. This is a set you will actually run in — and look great doing it.
Best for: Running, outdoor workouts, Peloton rides, women who love bold color

Set 3 — Cobalt Blue Power Set
RUNNING GIRL High Impact Racerback Sports Bra and CRZ YOGA Naked Feeling Biker Shorts 6″
This cobalt blue is stunning — rich, saturated, and impossible to miss on the road or in the gym. The RUNNING GIRL high impact bra is genuinely impressive in the support department and has one detail I love more than almost anything — the pads are sewn directly into the bra. No more finding pad inserts at the bottom of your washing machine after every laundry cycle. The CRZ YOGA 6 inch biker shorts are super soft with a great length that hits at a really flattering point. A powerful set for powerful workouts.
Best for: High impact workouts, running, women who need serious support

Set 4 — Black Leopard Shine Set
THE GYM PEOPLE Double Spaghetti Strap Sports Bra and High Waist Yoga Shorts
This is the set that brings the sass. The black leopard print with a gorgeous shiny finish is unlike anything else in this collection — the shine adds a nice sassy touch to the look that makes it feel special rather than just functional. I love the double spaghetti straps on the bra — they are supportive, comfortable, and look really cool. The high waist shorts have deep pockets and enough structure to wear for running. A fun set that you can definitely work out hard in while looking like you put in real effort getting dressed.
Best for: Running, gym workouts, Peloton rides, women who want personality in their gear

Set 5 — Blue Green Gym Set
IMEKIS Women’s 2 Piece Workout Set
This slate blue two piece is elegant and understated — a sophisticated color that feels different from the bolder sets in this collection. The bra has a really cool looking strappy back that is more supportive than I expected from a lighter support bra. I want to be honest here — this set is not designed for running and does not have pockets, but for a lifting session or a gym workout it is a beautiful and comfortable option. Sometimes you want gear that looks polished without being loud and this set delivers exactly that.
Best for: Gym workouts, weightlifting, yoga, women who prefer understated elegance

Set 6 — Berry Three Piece Set
Salspor 3 Piece Workout Set — Sports Bra, Biker Shorts, and Leggings
Here is the value story of this collection — three matching pieces for a price that makes stocking up your workout wardrobe completely reasonable. The deep berry color is rich and bold and the soft material feels great against your skin. The built in bra surprised me with its support level — more than I expected for a crop top style. Having both shorts and leggings means you can wear this set year round — biker shorts for warmer months, leggings when the temperature drops. And this set is versatile enough to double as a lounge set paired with a cute off the shoulder sweatshirt. Three pieces, one great price, endless options.
Best for: Gym workouts, year round versatility, women who want great value and a rich color

Set 7 — My Favorite — Tropical Floral Set
CRZ YOGA Butterbreeze Criss Cross Back Sports Bra and ODODOS Tummy Control Biker Shorts 2.0
I saved my favorite for last and it is not even close.
The ODODOS shorts have the most beautiful tropical floral print — vibrant flowers and lush green leaves on a dark background — and the fabric has a slick smooth feel that I love. Pockets on both legs make them incredibly practical. The CRZ YOGA Butterbreeze bra in solid sage green is the perfect unexpected complement to the bold print of the shorts — the color combination is stunning and completely original. The criss cross back is gorgeous, the straps are adjustable for a perfect fit, and the padding is just right.
I also love wearing something distinctive at races — especially larger ones — so my family can spot me easily in the crowd. This set is perfect for exactly that. Nobody is going to miss you in this outfit and honestly that is the whole point.
Best for: Any workout where you want to feel absolutely amazing, outdoor workouts, gym sessions, Peloton rides

The Bottom Line
Seven sets and every single one has earned its place in my rotation. Whether you want bold and bright, sophisticated and subtle, or pattern forward and fun there is something in this collection for every active woman.
My honest advice — invest in at least one set that makes you genuinely excited to put it on. That feeling of looking forward to getting dressed for your workout is worth more than any single piece of gear.
