Looking for pattern for workout wear

I just received a shipment from Rockywoods fabric (NAYY) of wickaway pique in 3 luscious colors (mint, dusty ble, dusty lilac ) plus a smooth black lycra blend for pants/shorts and a pink lycra blend. I intend to make tank tops and shorts for working out in. These outfits cost a bundle in the stores ($40 pr. piece). What I haven't found is a good pattern. I have seen Kwik-Sew's yoga pants and leotards but I am not too crazy about the skin-tight look. Any ideas out there? I am thinking about using a regular tank-top pattern and modifying it with some color blocking but they don't usually have any shaping in them (like darts). Any help is appreciated!

Thanks Juno, I looked at their patterns. They have some nice gymnastics leotards for the girls. Unfortunately all their workout wear is skin tight and I just don't have the bod for skin tight. I will keep looking.
