What To Wear For Every Type Of Workout

Whilst it seems that everyone has been joining running clubs and running marathons lately, it's not for everyone (and we don’t blame you).   

Maybe you’re more of a pilates kind of girl, love an F45 on a Saturday morning or enjoy a weekly spin class. Whichever kind of exercise you do, having the right workout gear to wear is essential.   

For a more intense workout like F45, you’ll need something that’s high support and sweat-wicking, whilst for a yoga class, something comfortable and flexible will be best. To make things easy, we’ve put together the ultimate guide of what to wear for every type of workout.  

Including flattering and sculpting pieces from our fits activewear range, get ready to feel confident and look incredible for your next class.   

Pilates  

Has your bestie asked you to join her at her next pilates session? Pilates requires a lot of movement, so you’ll want to go for something tight fitting but with stretch fabric. This type of workout might be low impact but don’t underestimate how hard it’ll actually be, so you’ll need a breathable fabric too. Go for a cute matching set with our blue soft touch gym leggings and medium support sports bra in buttery soft touch fabric.

Yoga  

Yoga also involves a lot of movement so you want to find the perfect in-between of a workout top that’s not too loose and not too tight to restrict your movement. A second-skin top like our sweat resistant ribbed short sleeve top will give you the ideal amount of flexibility and coverage. Pair it with black flared yoga leggings with a high waist for extra support.

F45  

For anyone that goes for F45 as their exercise of choice, that’s dedication. For this type of intense training, durable, sweat-wicking and breathable materials are key, since you’ll definitely be sweating a lot. Opt for black cycling shorts and a matching supportive sports bra to keep you cool.

Spin  

Spin is another high intensity workout that requires a breathable workout outfit, that’s why cycling gym shorts are our go-to. Whilst your quads will be burning, our grey soft touch cross over waist cycling shorts will keep you comfortable and cool. Complete the set with our soft touch halter neck sports bra and don’t forget that workout towel...it’ll be needed.

Weight training  

Is weight training more your thing? Whilst this is considered medium impact activity, it’s wise to wear fitted but flexible leggings you can move freely in, so your form isn’t restricted.  Our rib high waisted gym leggings are sweat resistant and stretchy and will be perfect for your workout. Pair them with a staple medium support black sports bra and you’re ready to go hit some personal bests!

Steps 

Getting in your exercise doesn’t have to be an intense class or gym session. It can simply just be done by going for a walk to get in some steps. It’s still important to wear something you feel comfortable in, depending how long your walk is. Our sculpt and control high waisted leggings are the ultimate pairing to our soft touch short sleeve top.
