A Gym Junkies Activewear Review

If you're a fan of new activewear, including those curve-enhancing leggings, you're in good company. Australians are dedicating a substantial $1400 annually to fitness clothing, and this trend is showing no signs of slowing down. However, the quest for activewear isn't just about the latest fashion—it's about finding pieces that are both durable and stylish. To help us navigate this fashionable fitness journey, Kimmi the owner of TFP is going to share all the "go to" secrets.

When it comes to choosing activewear, she highlights several crucial factors. Breathability is key, especially considering how the material reacts when you break a sweat. No one wants to deal with unflattering sweat marks, right? Depending on the workout intensity, she suggests opting for lighter materials with darker tones. For women, the cut of the top is significant—whether it's a singlet or crop—along with the sturdiness of the straps, especially for cardio exercises like running or dancing. Lastly, the rise of the workout pants matters. Coach Kimmi leans towards high-waisted options for a secure fit during activities like squatting or dynamic movements.

Curious about the activewear brands TFP favors? Currently, we are loving lululemon, Nike, Aim'n, Adidas Performance, and Tahira. We have a soft spot for matching sets, emphasizing the importance of coordinating crops with tights or bike pants, and even throwing in a matching sweat top or tee for a complete training ensemble.

For those who prioritize sustainability in their activewear choices, Coach Kimmi points to lululemon and Adidas Performance. These brands utilize a technique known as 'recycled polyester performance fabrication,' ensuring both comfort and environmental consciousness. Another favorite of TFP is Tahira, lauding their attention to detail, unique prints, and vibrant colors—all while incorporating recycled polyester into their pieces.

Shifting gears to footwear, TFP highlights Nike's exciting trainer releases, praising their color combinations and statement looks. Adidas also earns a nod for their versatile monochromatic shoes that effortlessly complement both fitness and fashion ensembles. If you're on the hunt for performance running shoes, Coach Kimmi recommends Asics, citing their appealing colorways. And for a lifestyle shoe, New Balance classics take the spotlight, as they seamlessly pair with suits for a chic and comfortable look—an iconic combination that we love.

Yours in health, TFP
