Most athletic wear is versatile for almost any physical activity. However, if you have a specific activity in mind, try to include clothing designed for that activity.

Working out can be a mental challenge for many people. A good way to want to go to the gym, is to have some set outfits you love that you can only wear to the gym. Finding an outfit that is comfortable, stylish and easy to move in is easier than you think. Although you don’t need to buy higher end brands, it is a great way to feel like you have to work out to use these articles of clothing.

Gymshark:

Although all their products are only sold online, Gymshark has a wide variety of men’s and women’s athletic wear. Known best for their matching sports bras and leggings, Gymshark’s clothes offer a variety when it comes to style and colours. For example: their “flawless knit tights” are a breathable fabric that includes contouring seams and a high wasted band. Another bonus is that in the description of their clothing they describe details of the model including height and size they are wearing to get a better idea of the product.

Lululemon:

Lululemon is a Canadian company whose clothing is used for both high and low energy activities. Mostly advertised for Yoga, Lululemon offers a variety in different types of athletic wear and gear. Mostly known for their women leggings, what is unique about the brand is that they do free alterations with the purchase of a product and if the product gets worn down, ripped, balls up or more they offer free replacement if under a year (with proof of purchase). They also offer mens clothing. Items can be ordered online or in store. It is important to note that these items can be very pricey, so be sure to actually love the product before purchase.

Nike:

Nike is an American brand that is very well known. Originally just a shoe company, they have expanded into the realm of athletic wear and everyday wear. Still best known for their shoes, Nike offers some of the best running shoes on the market. Something that is often overlooked when it comes workout outfits is the shoes. Shoes offer support and comfort that is needed for a good workout. Arguably, shoes are the best investment when it comes to workout gear. A good pair of shoes can improve your workout immensely. When investing in a pair of shoes it’s best to make sure to get a shoe that fits comfortably and is designed for the type of activities you plan to do. Stores like Sport Chek will offer proper shoe fittings for Nike shoes along with other brands.

Under Armour:

Under Armour is another American brand that is typically found at stores like Sport Chek. Although not recognized for specific items like the other brands on this list, Under Armour provides a wide variety when it comes to the clothing and clothes they offer. Under Armour has men, women, and children’s clothing available. Not only do they offer typical athletic wear, they also offer clothing for golf and many other low impact activities.
