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 ordered items from here on my credit card never giving them permission to charge my card monhtly which they did! This is Fraud! In addition the quality of the clothing is horrible. I wore the workout pants one time and then washed them and they color completly faded. Stay away from this company go to KHOLS instead. Better quality... Better Prices!
I have purchased three items of clothing 15 months ago on my credit card. Did not have any idea I had signed up to a VIP membership now over £600 out of pocket. I will keep fighting for my money back. Never ever use this company they are FRAUDSTERS!
HORRIBLE customer service. I have yet to receive my refund and its been over a week! This is my second disappointment with them, they sent me the wrong items 2x. I am never shopping from this company again. They have cute clothes but I do not think its worth the head ache of worrying about a refund or getting the right order.
I bought a couple of items to go on holidays this year - throughout the purchase process I was not made aware that I was signing up to a subscription service, otherwise I would have left the site - simple as that. I have since discovered that two amounts of £44 have been taken form my bank account, without my consent for September and October. I do not need £44 worth of fitness clothing and I suspect not a lot of people do. I called the company to ensure the money was returned to be only to be told very rudely that they would not return it. So in response I will ensure that every female and mum's forum is warned that purchasers are not merely buying clothes as per any other clothing website they are being forced into a subscription service that they have not knowingly consented to. Off to cancel with bank. Absolutely disgusted with Fabletics, this is not how to build up a loyal customer audience, your clothes should speak for themselves!
I ordered an outfit from here and I loved it for great and very comfortable. I did not read very carefully so when I got the monthly almost $50 charge I was livid. When I called hey explained it to me and were very understanding. Refunded me my money and all all I have to do is skip the month if I don't want to be charged or simply cancel my membership
Woah they take £44 from your account each month! This is NOT made clear when you sign up to be a member. My hard earned cash just gone, ciao ciao! Kate Hudson should be ashamed and embarrassed that these are her company policies!
Let me preface this with the fact that I have never written a review for any company, ever. However, anyone considering giving this company their credit card information should know that this company has stolen hundreds of dollars from me.
I have cancelled my account with Fabletics on two different occasions, and have been charged $49.95 every single month since then.
DO NOT SIGN UP FOR VIP MEMBERSHIP.
They have outright STOLEN my hard earned money.
Kate Hudson should be embarrassed to own this company.
This is the second time I have had Fabletics take money from my account after I opted out/skipped a month.
I don't know how many customers they do this to, but I am not their personal bank.
They cannot just go into an individuals account, take money out and then claim ignorance for the error.
The system is very unethical and I am disappointed that Kate Hudson hasn't corrected the situation.
Cannot believe Fabletics are allowed to use their current so-called 'loyalty' system. Here's how it works:
1. You sign up to be a VIP
2. They charge YOUR BANK $49.95 every month
3. They tell you that you have $49.95 STORE CREDIT (which is in fact your money, not their generous gift)
4. Unless you intentionally SKIP the credit within 5 days, BAM, your $49.95 is gone.
Without my knowledge, I was charges over $100 AUD for being a 'VIP' over two months. I was being told I had $49.95 STORE CREDIT on my account (I though, Oh how nice of them), where in fact they were taking $49.95 each month OUT OF MY bank account and forced to spend it with Fabletics. The skip system is too complex and OF COURSE most people will forget to bypass the $50 charge each month. Disgusting marketing ploy. I work in marketing, this is disgusting and embarrassing for Fabletics.
FRAUD! This was very sneaky and wasn't clear when you signed up. They took over £130 of my money. Please do not sign up for Fabletics VIP. I have been fighting to get my money back for 4 days. Even had to call an American number from the UK which cost me a bomb. I will be writing a letter to get the whole of my money back. How dare they take money when I haven't aurthoised it or received any emails or letters to say they so. Disgusting company!
You're automatically charged ~$50 every month unless you log onto their website and elect to 'skip' the charge within 5-day period each month. You can't stop the recurring attempts to charge without calling their phone number, where they force you to sit and listen to minutes of sales spiels (I actually didn't make it until the end of the spiel it was so bad). They rebuff attempts to cancel accounts via email.
Customer service is intentionally unhelpful and obtuse - they're trying to create so much friction to disengaging with the company that you just give up. It is a terrible, terrible way to do business and it's really biting them. Here's a tip: if your product sucks so much that you have to slime and manipulate your way into keeping customers, you should probably just give up.
I strongly encourage anyone dealing with an unauthorized charge from this company to dispute it with their card issuer and place a stop-debit on the merchant.
I will NEVER do business with this company again. I signed up for a VIP membership months ago and have purchased a few items using the discount. I'll admit that the clothing is high quality and I have had no issues with the products. But the company is sketchy on its best day with business practices. At 50 bucks a month, I eventually decided keeping the membership was not in my budget any longer. The most annoying part of this company has to be that you must call and speak to a representative to have your membership cancelled. It's nearly impossible to get someone on the phone, and when you do they refuse to cancel your account until they have tried several different ways to keep your business. After ten minutes of declining basically every discount and free item in the book and pleading with the woman on the other line to just cancel my account and let me get off the phone, I thought I had finally succeeded. WRONG. I was charged the very next month the full amount! This meant I had to call the company again and go through the same process of having someone "look into it", cancel my account (for real this time), and promise a refund to my account within "5-7 business days". Extremely frustrated and will avoid this company in the future.
What kind of company deceptively signs you up for some ridiculous "V. I. P." service, which I am sure no one making a complaint on this website, thought they were committing to. I never would have agreed to this type of arrangement and did not notice until recently that I had been being charged for last 7 mos. $49.95/mo. After I made what I thought and intended to be a one time purchase. I complained to my Amex card and they initially reversed the charges. I then cancelled this service by calling Fabletics, which they insisted I had requested, even though I had no awareness of it and never purchased another item from this company. Immediately they sent Amex "proof" that I had signed up for this crap so now they are recharging the $350 back to my card. I have filed a complaint with CA BBB and I hope all of us can reach a resolution and be refunded the money that was basically stolen from us.
Since posting this review here and one on yelp I was able to get help from Fabletics customer service and they refunded the money to me!
Beware, they are scammers, will charge you monthly subscription and if you want to cancel you canot get a refund despite Fabletic breaching the law. Never use this ebsite, the CEO of the comany has been a known scammer having multiple lawsuts against him
Ms Hudson should be ashamed of herself! Taking money illegally from customers, who like me didn't even realise that when you buy an outfit for £ 28 it then gives them a free reign. To take money from your account £44 a month to be precise! Now can't pay my utility bill due to this suddenly going out of my account without my permission.! DO NOT BUY FROM THIS SITE ITS AN ABSOLUTE SCAM!
What if you can not afford to be and, VIP?!
Does that mean if you are( not rich) have to join the VIP Club for 50.00 and, get a new out fit every month.
I can not afford to be a VIP but though,
I just though anybody could just pick one out for 25.00 outfits without having to join some High Society Club.
Just telling you honestly how I fee!.
Thanks,
Sandra
Placed an order on 26th of august 2016. It took me nearly an hour to make a selection as some of the itmes were out of my sizes. Payment went out of my account received a confirmation of the order.
28th of September a month later still nothing from fabletics! Called "customer services" were told oh sorry your order didnt go through and basically since you have asked we will refund you and if you like go back to the website and put another order through. Thats just not good enough! A whole month? If I didn't call them then nobody would have bothered to let me know of the issues. Manager was absolutely useless and sarcastic! Absolutely disgusted!
I placed an order and it was all on sale, but when I got it they charged me full price, and did not get everything I ordered, and when I contacted customer service they use said sorry they don't control the pricing ugh...
Kate Hudson is a millionaire and scamming middle class people! I saw a commercial with a offer and went with it. Until my credit card keep getting charges. So I tried doong the online chat, what a joke! Got charged $100.00 for memebership ohh what $99.00. Still paid for top and bottom, which don't fit and return policy is crazy! They make you fill out a crazy size chart (NOPE WASTE OF MONEY)! GLAD KATE HUDSON HAS A LITTLE MORE MONEY! DON'T BUY THIS PRODUCT!

After finding out I had never been cancelled from their VIP program, Fabletics responded to my complaint overnight and credited me all funds. I was also credited for the clothing I never received. Positive customer service action!
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!
