Tips on choosing good gym wear
Look for quality fabric
Your gym wear needs to be breathable, moisture-wicking, and flexible. Look for fabrics like nylon, polyester, or elastane blends that offer durability and stretch while keeping you dry.
Prioritise comfort
Opt for clothing that allows for ease of movement. Seamless designs or flat seams prevent chafing, and the right fit ensures you won’t be adjusting your clothes mid-workout.
Support is key
A good sports bra is non-negotiable. Choose a bra that provides adequate support for your level of activity, whether it’s low-impact yoga or high-intensity HIIT sessions.
Functionality over style
While style is important, functionality should be your top priority. Think about what types of movements your workouts involve and choose clothes that accommodate them – from compression tights for running to looser fits for strength training.
Invest in pieces you’ll love
Having a few high-quality, versatile pieces can be more cost-effective than constantly replacing cheaper items. Choose staple items you’ll wear again and again.
