If you've got Prime Day on your mind, you'll want to make room in your budget for Nordstrom's Anniversary Sale. Unlike Prime Day, this sale isn't just a couple of days — it spans an entire month. The 2024 Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is open to everyone from July 15 to August 4, with Nordy Club rewards program members and Nordstrom credit cardholders able to shop even earlier. (Here's a breakdown of the exact dates.)

If you're a Nordstrom credit cardholder, you can shop these deals now. But even if you don't have access yet, you don't really need to wait until July 15 to start shopping. Nordstrom already has a preview of the sale online, so you can scope out your picks, see the sale prices, and fill up your wish list with all your must-buy products. When July 15 rolls around, you'll be ready to click "check out."

While the beloved retailer's selection spans fashion, beauty, home, jewelry, and more, it's a particularly great opportunity to snag some new sneakers and activewear. Nordstrom is notorious for its expansive selection of workout clothing, offering trendy brands like Zella, Nike, Sweaty Betty, and Free People. Through Sunday, August 4, you can browse styles from the biggest names in workout fashion, all marked down at some of their lowest prices of the season.

Because shopping all this month's sales can be a tad overwhelming, we've rounded up some of the best deals on activewear that the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale has to offer, from internet-famous Zella leggings to Nike sneakers. Read on to shop our favorite Nordstrom Anniversary Sale deals on workout clothing and sneakers, so you can be ready to hit "add to cart."
