Address: 1661 Rockville Pike, Rockville, MD 20852. Phone: (240) 436-0854. Athleta+2Athleta+2
Why it’s a strong pick:
- Athleta specializes in activewear designed for women (and girls via “Athleta Girl”) with high-quality fabrics, thoughtful features (like moisture-wick, stretch, good fit) tailored for workouts, yoga, training and everyday movement. Athleta
- The Rockville location lists hours, making it convenient: open Mon–Sat 10 a.m.–7 p.m., Sun 11 a.m.–6 p.m. Athleta
- The store is described as offering “activewear & athletic clothes … built to move with you for all the ways you move.” Athleta
Tip for shoppers: If you’re investing in workout gear you’ll use regularly and want something beyond basic gym wear—leggings with technical stretch, tops that transition from studio to everyday—this is a great place. Because it’s fairly focused on women’s performance wear, if you need men’s or very budget-oriented options you may also want to consider other stores listed below.
2. DICK’S Sporting Goods – Rockville
4.0•Sporting goods store
Address: 1675 Rockville Pike, Rockville, MD 20852. Store Opening Hours+2DICK’S Sporting Goods+2
Why it’s a good choice:
- This large sporting goods chain carries broad workout apparel for men, women and youth, covering many styles: from basic gym tees/tanks to technical layers, training pants, hoodies, etc. The website describes the “Workout & Athletic Clothing” category specifically. DICK’S Sporting Goods
- Because it covers all genders and many sizes (including big & tall) and supportive of multiple sports/training types, it’s a solid one-stop shop.
Tip for shoppers: If you want more variety (brands, sizes, budget options) or you’re shopping for a family or multiple people, this store gives breadth. If you want ultra-specialized women’s performance gear (as in Athleta) you might compare both stores.
3. PUSH Activewear
Clothing store
Address: 416 Hungerford Dr, Unit 435, Rockville, MD 20850.
Why it’s worth visiting:
- This boutique smaller store is focused on athletic apparel (as indicated by its name and product offerings) — for example, one product is described as an “Essential Performance Tee” for workouts, featuring polyester/spandex blend, mesh panels, etc. PUSH ACTIVEWEAR
- If you prefer a more niche, boutique shopping experience where you might find less-common brands or more focused selection, this store could offer that.
Tip for shoppers: Because it’s smaller, inventory may be more limited compared to big chains; it may focus on specific styles or gender. If you’re looking for unique pieces, or prefer boutique feel, give PUSH Activewear a try in addition to the larger stores.
Final Thoughts
- If your priority is high-quality women’s performance activewear (leggings, training tops, yoga-friendly gear): start with Athleta.
- If you need broad selection (men/women, kids/family), many brands, workout basics and training gear: go to DICK’S Sporting Goods.
- If you want a boutique, more focused activewear store where you might find something unique or specific: check out PUSH Activewear.
