1. Fleet Feet Sports Baltimore
Address: 1852 Reisterstown Rd Ste 104, Pikesville, MD 21208
Phone: (410) 484-6565
This independent running-specialty store is a standout if you’re into serious training (running, walking, performance). According to local coverage, it was named a top-four finalist for “Running Store of the Year” among more than 800 stores nationwide.
Why it’s a great option:
- They carry technical apparel and shoes—running tech fabrics, sport bras, compression gear—beyond just casual workout clothes.
- The staff are trained to fit gear based on running/walking gait and style, so if you also want the “right fit” and function for your workouts, this is useful.
- Because it’s local & specialty, you may find better service and fewer “generic” items.
Tip: If your workouts involve running or high-movement activities (not just gym/resistance training), start here. Bring in what you already wear (shoes, apparel) and ask them to help match you with upgrade pieces.
2. Target – Pikesville
Address: 1737 Reisterstown Rd, Pikesville, MD 21208-2907
Phone: (410) 486-4141
While Target isn’t a dedicated performance-athletic-wear store, its activewear section makes it a convenient stop for everyday workout attire—especially if you want something affordable.
Why it’s worth including:
- Easy access and likely plenty of parking.
- Good for staple workout items: leggings, performance-blend shirts, hoodies, etc., especially for gym use, casual workouts, or layering.
- Lower price point—great if you don’t need super high-tech fabrics and just want something to sweat in.
Tip: Because Target has broad inventory, you might find good value—but if you want advanced fabrics (moisture-wick, compression, high durability), you may want to supplement with a specialty store.
3. Athletes Foot – Pikesville
Address: Town Center Pl (Exact Unit: Town Center Pl, Pikesville, MD 21208)
Phone: (410) 654-3864
This store is primarily known for athletic footwear, but also offers apparel and accessories geared toward fitness and sports.
Why it’s a smart backup:
- If you’re already heading there for shoes or accessories, it’s efficient to check workout clothes too.
- They carry brands aligned with activewear and often have complementary apparel pieces (shirts, shorts) that match workout shoe brands.
- Good for men and women looking to coordinate shoe + outfit in one stop.
Tip: If you’re dedicating your shopping time, use Athletes Foot as a secondary stop after a specialist or big-box store. It’s particularly useful if your focus is on footwear but you want matching apparel.
