I first discovered Fitness Tee Co through a Facebook ad in 2021. The funny fitness sayings immediately caught my attention, and what began with a couple of tank tops eventually turned into more than 50 shirts purchased between 2021 and 2023. I genuinely loved the company, the designs, and the shirts, even though I thought they were a little expensive.
My experience with the products and customer service was positive during those years. However, I stopped ordering after a going-out-of-business sale left me feeling misled by the company’s marketing. This updated Fitness Tee Co review reflects both sides of my experience: why I was such a loyal customer, what changed my opinion, and the more affordable alternative I recently found.
It is important to note that my Fitness Tee Co purchases were made from 2021 through the end of 2023. I have not placed a recent order, so I cannot speak to the company’s current ordering or fulfillment experience.
How I Found Fitness Tee Co
Fitness Tee Co stood out because its shirts combined fitness, strength, and humor. The sayings made workout clothes fun, from motivational to sarcastic, or simply fun. When you are trying to build a consistent fitness routine, wearing something that makes you smile can provide a small motivational lift.
Some of the Fitness Tee Co sayings I purchased included:
- Squats Are a Pain in the Butt
- Strong Is the New Skinny
- Goal Weight Strong AF
- No Sweat, No Beauty, No Squats, No Booty
- LEGenDArY
- Train to Eat, Sleep, Repeat
- Rise & Grind
These were only a few of the designs I own. Fitness Tee Co regularly updates its selection and offers seasonal and holiday designs in addition to its everyday fitness sayings.
Fitness Tee Co Tank Top Styles
My first purchases were traditional racerback-style tank tops. I later switched to the rocker tanks because many of the newer sayings I wanted were only available in that style. After wearing them, I found that I preferred the higher neckline and the way the rocker style covered less of the shoulder.
The rocker tanks were comfortable enough for both exercise and casual wear. I could wear them while working out at home and then continue wearing them throughout the day.
Fitness Tee Co Sizing and Quality
In my experience, the rocker tanks ran true to size. I ordered the same size I normally would wear in tops, and they fit as expected.
The shirts also held up well through repeated wearing and washing. The printed designs faded somewhat over time, as many printed shirts do, but I didn’t have problems with the shirts falling apart or losing their shape. Considering how frequently I wore many of them, I was satisfied with their overall quality.
My Experience With Fitness Tee Co Customer Service
One experience in particular helped make me such a loyal customer. Fitness Tee Co was running a buy-one-get-one-half-off promotion, and I placed an order from my phone. I accidentally selected an extra-small shirt and did not notice the mistake until I received the shipping notification.
The error was mine, and I contacted customer service even though the order had already progressed. Fitness Tee Co sent me the correct size and told me I could donate the extra-small shirt instead of returning it. That response impressed me and reinforced the positive opinion I had of the company at the time.
Why I Stopped Ordering From Fitness Tee Co
Sometime in 2023, I received an email announcing that Fitness Tee Co was going out of business. The company held a large sale, and I placed another order believing it might be my last opportunity to purchase its shirts.
Later, I received another email explaining that the sale had generated enough business for the company to remain open. I cannot say what the company intended, but the sequence of messages left me feeling misled. I had made a purchase partly because I believed the company was closing and that the shirts would no longer be available.
That experience changed the way I felt about supporting the business. I did not stop ordering because of poor shirt quality, sizing problems, an unfulfilled order, or a negative customer-service interaction. My personal purchasing experiences from 2021 through 2023 had been positive. I simply no longer felt comfortable with the marketing approach, and my final order was placed near the end of 2023.
A More Affordable Fitness Tee Co Alternative
In 2026, I discovered ClubFitwear, another company offering a large collection of fitness shirts with frequently updated sayings and seasonal designs. Recently, I preferred many of its sayings to the current Fitness Tee Co selection, although both companies offer plenty of choices.
I ordered one ClubFitwear rocker tank for $16.95. When it arrived, I immediately recognized that it was the exact same supplier shirt as my Fitness Tee Co rocker tanks. The manufacturer’s label was identical, as were the shirt, material, and rocker-style cut. The primary difference was the printed design and the company selling it.
For comparison, Fitness Tee Co rocker tanks were listed at $27.99 when I checked. Prices and promotions can change, but the difference made ClubFitwear an appealing alternative when the underlying rocker tank was the same.
ClubFitwear Customer Service Experience
The first ClubFitwear shirt I received had a minor printing defect that looked as though part of the design had been double printed. I contacted the company and found the replacement process very easy. Once ClubFitwear saw the problem, it sent a replacement within an acceptable timeframe and did not require me to return the defective shirt.
Although this experience involved only one order, the company handled the issue exactly as I would have hoped. It gave me confidence ordering from ClubFitwear again, especially since I can purchase the same rocker-style supplier shirt at a lower price.
Would I Still Recommend Fitness Tee Co?
I would not tell someone to avoid Fitness Tee Co based on my personal experience. I purchased more than 50 shirts over several years, found the sizing true to size, thought the shirts held up well, and received excellent assistance when I made an ordering mistake.
At the same time, the going-out-of-business messaging changed how I felt about the company and led me to stop purchasing from it. Readers who love a particular Fitness Tee Co design may still decide it is right for them. For anyone looking for similar fitness shirts and designs, ClubFitwear is a more affordable alternative, and the rocker tank I purchased was the exact same supplier shirt sold by Fitness Tee Co.
