Used activewear sets in Canada typically sell for C$28 to C$105 (about $20 to $74). Activewear is heavily supplied second hand, so brand and fabric integrity are what separate a sale from a listing that sits.
What activewear sets are worth in Canada

Selling an activewear set in Canada
Interac e-Transfer is the norm and is instant and traceable, which suits a private sale well. It is what most buyers will suggest before anything else.
Canada’s resale market is concentrated in a handful of metro areas separated by very long distances, which makes it unusually collection-led — most buyers are looking for something they can pick up the same week.
Shipping cost is the single commonest reason a Canadian listing stalls. Decide collection versus courier before you price it, and say which you are offering.
Winter clothing and sports equipment move from October, and the spring thaw brings the strongest few weeks for furniture, bikes and garden items.
Working out what yours is worth
- Stretch the fabric against the light to check opacity
- Inspect the inner thigh area for pilling
Getting it ready
- Check the top and bottoms are genuinely matching, same brand line and same colour batch.
- Note both sizes separately and the brand’s style names if they have them.
Photograph
- Both pieces laid out together
- The fabric stretched over a hand, showing opacity
- Seams, waistband and any pill, mark or pull
Put in the description
- Sizes of both pieces, stated separately
- Fabric composition, and whether opaque when stretched
- Any pilling on the inner thigh, and seam condition
Brand, line and both sizes: “Gymshark Vital Seamless Set, Top S Leggings S, Sage”. Brand line names are searched exactly in activewear. State both sizes and confirm it is a genuine matching set.
Light and cheap to post. Wash both pieces before sending and say so — on used activewear that single sentence resolves the buyer’s main hesitation, and it costs you nothing but a wash cycle.
It costs nothing to list
There is no listing fee, no selling fee and no commission, so the C$104 a buyer pays is the C$104 you keep. You and the buyer settle up and arrange the handover between yourselves; WishThrift does not hold the money or ship the item.

Common questions
Where can I sell an activewear set in Canada?
List it free on WishThrift and deal with the buyer direct. There is no selling fee, so the whole amount stays with you. Interac e-Transfer is the norm and is instant and traceable, which suits a private sale well. It is what most buyers will suggest before anything else.
What sizes are the pieces?
Give both. Buyers frequently need different sizes top and bottom.
Does used activewear sell?
Recognised brands sell well; unbranded sets sell for very little. Fabric condition matters more than in most clothing.
Should sets be sold together?
Yes. Matching sets sell noticeably better than separates in this category.
