Fabletics is an innovative, high-quality athletic wear & accessories line co-founded by Kate Hudson that looks great & fits your budget.
















Fabletics enjoys a generally positive reputation for its high-quality activewear, particularly among plus-size customers, with many expressing satisfaction with the product's fit and style. However, significant concerns arise regarding customer service, particularly related to the return process and subscription management, which many find frustrating and convoluted. Issues such as delayed refunds, poor inventory management, and inadequate support from customer service representatives contribute to a negative shopping experience for some. Overall, while the product quality garners praise, the customer service approach and operational challenges indicate areas needing improvement for enhanced customer satisfaction.

I went to skip the month of December and every time I tried clicking the page wouldn't load. I tried on a different browser and it looked like it had worked, but then the page glitches and logged me out... it was a red flag, but i ignored it because i thought it had gone through. Well, here we are a week later and my account was charged. The robotic system was BEYOND annoying to deal with, as it kept asking for more information and repeating the same questions multiple times. Finally all of a sudden it said your refund has been processed and will take 7 business days! How annoying! So I want to cancel my membership now because this whole service is silly. I've been on hold on the phone for over hours (not kidding) and twice I've had the robot voice come on and say "there are 17 people in que ahead of you". It hasn't changed at all since I started the phone call! I'm beyond frustrated and will be advising ALL my friends and family to stay far away from this brand.
I got the VIP Membership only to buy some gifts. The VIP Membership requires you to 'skip' a charge every month if you do not want to partake of their services. If you miss the 'skip,' they do you the favor of charging you and adding that balance to your Fabletics credits. They are counting on you to not skip and then eventually spend those credits so that you feel as if you are not losing out. That is like how theme parks used to make patrons buy Theme Park Dollars that could only be spent in those parks. It is an absolute scam. This is no different than the company that used to run those Girls Gone Wild videos. They were sued for basically the same thing. In Fabletics' case, at least they gave half of my money back, but I am still stuck with having to buy products that my giftees only considered 'average' at best.

When my package arrived the order was incorrect, and I didn't receive the majority of my items that I order. Customer service was horrible, and the representative hung up on my call while I was speaking to them. Then when I called again I ask to speak to the manager, and they passed me to a supervisor which they were no help. Very up happy with their customer service!

I stopped receiving the email notifications that my "collection" was ready and got tired of being charged because I didnt "skip" that month, so I set alerts in my calendar to skip. Skipped a month and STILL GOT CHARGED! Called to cancel and got my last charge refunded. The product is great, I just wish you could order without the damn subscription fee, even if it goes towards the product I dont like being FORCED to buy something I dont need!

As a first time buyer of Fabletics products I was extremely excited to get the clothing I selected for such a great deal. I absolutely LOVED the leggings even more than I expected. This excitement ended quickly in disappointment when I found out that my credit card was charged again for $49.99 a week after spending about $100.00. I thought that canceling my membership would cancel my charge, well boy was I wrong. I now have to pay even more money to get just 1 article of clothing which includes this so called credit I payed for to rejoin for any type of so called deal. I FEEL TRAPPED. I did my research before becoming a "VIP member" so I was aware of the strategy they had of charging monthly, but there was no email/notification or even a heads up notifying me that my card would be charged as it was stated they would... this is very sneaky and comes across as a bit of a scam. If the product is so great and the company cares so much for their very important (VIP) members then I am not so sure why Fabletics is being so sneaky.

I returned about 5 things in a huge order of 11 items. I had a separate return order of 3 other items. A month and a half has passed and i have yet to have any money credited to my account. I contacted customer service and all they could tell me about my return was that after a month and a half, it was still being shipped to their warehouse, pending inspection and they did not have a time estimate for me. I should have $230 credited to my account, yet my balance is $0. I feel extremely robbed and i would cancel but i want my money back first.

Thieves and liars, and I have been a VIP member for years. But suddenly you can't even use your own money (£44 if you don't skip, each month) for the sales. I can live with being slow, but not being able to spend my own money how I choose? Who do these people think they are!

I am a medium typically, I've ordered other medium clothes from this company, however the two items I ordered are very loose, I went to read the return instructions and saw it cost $6 for a restocking fee for each item. Now I will have to pay $18 back. I bought the item in good faith it would fit, but I feel like the restocking fee is the penalty I incur for ordering online.

Love the product but the amount of emails sent is insane. You really need to look at that. It takes credibility way from your business and makes me less likely to buy again.

I have had for 2 months now have my debit card charged twice. I reached out and they said they only show one charge. I now have sought a lawyer for his advice.

I did a lot of research before I placed my order because the reviews made me SO nervous! So I placed my first order and I had to sign up in order to be part of the Black Friday deal. I immediately called customer service and asked to be removed from the subscription, which they did offer me a coupon if I didn't cancel but I told them I was sure I wanted to cancel and they canceled for me without any hassle. I ended up getting 4 pairs of leggings for $50 which is a great deal as long as they are decent quality. The package arrived in about 3 days which was super fast. The pants I received seem really high quality which I was really surprised about. They fit well, though they are kinda tight around the tummy they make my butt look good also! Overall I'm pleased with the experience, just make sure you understand the subscription that you're automatically signed up for. You can cancel anytime for no fee, just call customer service.

When you make a purchase using a gift card, it does not show or verify that you have used the gift card and on the final screen shows your credit card information as if you will still be paying with a credit card. If you go back to check that your gift card is in fact being used, it will say that it has already been redeemed and then if you continue with the purchase it will charge your credit card. This happened to me. I cannot get the amount back on the gift card which I never made a purchase with and although my purchase was cancelled and my credit card refunded. I can no longer skip the month, because I have already made a purchase that I will not receive because the order was cancelled. I feel like I have been robbed. I hate this company. HATE. They are liars, cheats, and thieves.

Daughters LOVE the leggings! They say they're the best ever! No more replacing every year due to not liking anymore I hope!
I'm loving this purchase. Great material and super comfortable at a great price! Some of my favorite leggings. I love to lounge in these but I'm quick to step out in them too.

I called to express concern about the product quality of a pair of sweatpants that I purchased only 6 months ago. I spoke to both a customer service agents AND a manager and both were incredibly rude, extremely unhelpful, and so disrespectful. I had never been treated that way in my entire life. After a 15 minute argument and me threatening to cancel my membership, she gave me 20% off one article of clothing which was not even worth it for the total disrespect I was treated with, even though I am an extremely loyal customer.

Answer: I did read the fine print, as stated, which you find out when you are about to place your order. Those few who LOVE Fab would have you believe, that we are dolts and can't figure out this "club" has you by the short hairs once you order 1 outfit... the hook is set. So if you wanna hassle with the $49.95 charge that you may or not remember to decline each month, see the charges on your card, only to find you have "store credit" instead of the charges removed... then by all means, place your order. As far as the 16% "like" rate at the top, THAT in itself should let you know, steer clear. It took me MANY attempts just to stop their emails from coming to me... finally!
Answer: Hi Heidi I really would cancel as soon as possible because if you don't you will be charged whether you buy anything or not. Do it now because if not before 5th, you will be charged. You have to do this every month it's really not worth the hassle, I would buy from the high street at least you know where you stand. Also, I am assuming Myka works for the company! There are very few positive comments about this company I would steer well clear.
Answer: I rang my bank and told them to stop any future payments leaving my account. When I finally got through to fabletics, I had the worst most arrogant a***hole in customer services so I wouldn't bother wasting your breath
Answer: When I cancelled, I made sure that I used up every dime of credit because I was pretty sure that this shady company would take the credit I was owed. Someone should start a class action suit against them. They just do whatever they want...
Answer: The best thing to do is to use your credit and buy something in the amount you were charged and then call to cancel your membership. You can try to get them to reverse the charges but chances are you won't get it back. Don't cancel until you use the money you already paid though!
Answer: All the good reviews on this site most likely come from employees, you could ask them.
Answer: Unfortunately this company is corrupt. You'll have to call relentlessly until they answer. I cancelled over the phone successfully. Leave a post with your negative experience getting a hold of someone to cancel.
Answer: I bombarded them on twitter and Facebook. They got back to me quick!
Answer: No you are not. Cancel it asap and then you won't get charged the monthly subscription charge. Best to call them and cancel it over the phone, and then send an email stating that you called and that they promised to cancel the account just as back up.
Answer: I think you should be okay! Canceling it is easy but I really doubt they'll send you a bill! I used it for a while and had no problems until this one but they were so beyond rude :( unless they have your billing information they can't just charge you!
