This place is huge and will set you up with everything from ski gear to jog bras to clothes for looking cute on the elliptical. Plus the prices can't be beat. Also check out their Presidio, Walnut Creek and Sunnyvale locations.

lululemon athletica

This is just a no-brainer. Lululemon has the cutest yoga, Pilates, running, chilling apparel out there. It's expensive but lasts forever.

City Target

Some rejoiced, some mourned when a Target opened in the city proper last year. But one thing you just can't be sad about is the cheap and stylish Champion workout wear available at Target. The jog bras are perfect for yoga, and the colors are fun.

A bit less expensive than Lululemon but also stylish, Athleta will set you up with tank tops (with bra inserts) in fun prints, cute tennis outfits, and swimsuits that will stay put while you paddle.

Considered by many to be the best running shoes store in the city, On the Run will analyze your gate to make sure you get exactly the right shoe. It doesn't hurt that they have all the latest styles too.

For the surfer chicks among us, Mollusk will suit you up with wetsuits, booties, gloves--everything you need to not freeze your butt off in the Pacific. Plus cute board shorts, post-surf sweats and art shows.

If you spend every weekend from November to April in Tahoe, you already know this is your place for gear that performs as great as it looks. Whether you go for old school down or Triclimate hi-tech materials, The North Face will keep you warm, dry, and stylish on the slopes.
