I saw an ad for their nearly too good to be true memorial day sale. "VIP--FIRST OUTFIT $15-ENDS AT MIDNIGHT!" Of course I took advantage, $15 for an entire outfit plus free shipping? Sign me up! Due to the outrageous sale, my options were limited; everything was selling out. I managed to find a cute outfit that suited me. Their sizing is confusing, but since I normally get a large everywhere I go, I decided on that. It fits well, and like I said, it's cute. But this quality doesn't meet anywhere close to the price, especially the full-price non-vip one. The top is a basic white muscle tee with a knot accent at the bottom to add aesthetic. The tag claimed it was $34.99 retail. Are you kidding me? I can find better quality at Walmart. It's flimsy, it wrinkles easily, and it's see-through. Next up was the bra. What drew me to it was the back, it had a nice strap design. I'm rather busty (36DD), but it still fit. Still cheap cami top quality, retail price was $29.99. My biggest issue is it gives me no support. I always begin my gym routine on the treadmill and this entirely impedes me from doing so without my bust flopping over the place and also causing a lot of pain. Lastly is the leggings. Retail price: $79.99. This was a blown-out "are you absolutely f**king kidding me!?" They're the best quality of all of them, but I can purchase this same material at Walmart, and in fact I own a pair very similar purchased from there. It's appalling to know that if you did not have a VIP membership, this entire outfit would cost nearly $150.

Anyways, I decided I needed to cancel the membership since obviously I will never hand over my money to them again. It was fairly easy, but the customer service rep kept insisting I stay and offered 500 reward points that are actually non-redeemable, but after I showed my anger through my words, he quit the chatter and got it canceled.

It's technically not a scam if you read the print, but they do sign you right up for the VIP and if you don't get your bank statements or forget entirely, you're out $50 each month for nothing. I'd suggest getting a highly sale-priced outfit and canceling.

This service greatly reminds me of the whole Kylie Lip Kit craze going on. It's expensive because you're paying for the name, not the quality. I know of far better brands that give me useful, long-lasting workout gear for a reasonable price. I can typically purchase a full quality outfit for $30-$50, but my fabletics outfit probably isn't worth the $20 I got on sale. Just plain stay away from them unless there's a huge sale and want something cute. It's cute, but get out while you can.
