As the Delta variant of COVID-19 surges, hitting the gym has been made difficult. While lockdowns left many gyms closed across the country, many have found it to be safer to work out in the comfort and safety of their own homes.

However, switching to a home workout routine isn’t easy if you’re used to going to a class for your HIIT or yoga workout, but choosing the right workout clothes can still make it less difficult to adapt. Your clothing can help you perform at your very best, whether it be in terms of durability for the sheer number of squats you perform, or breathability to keep you cool during intense HIIT workouts.

Wearing the right workout clothing helps keep you cool, comfortable, and prevents chafing during exercises. And with that being said, here is a carefully curated list of all the brands where you can find good quality, affordable gym wear; locally.

Tuhura Athletics

When it comes to designing the most stylish gym wear, Tuhura gets the nod from us. From fun animal prints, full monochromatic studio-to-street styles, fierce neon sets and must-have metallic windbreakers; they have it all. Tuhura’s leggings, tanks, sports bras and other activewear staples are all made of high-performance, innovative fabrics for that perfect move-with-you fit.

Nomad Apparel

If you’re looking for the trendiest activewear, Nomad Apparel is the place to go. From funky colours to statement prints and cuts, this athletic wear brand has got it all. They also know how to get that material right as they use super-breathable fabric to make their workout apparel. They also have tracksuits to wind breakers and reflective trousers. Their collection updates each season and we always have our eye out for their new collections.

Spartan Fitness

Designed by an athlete and trainer himself, Spartan sure knows how to do activewear right. We love their price point, the range of sizes, and the accessibility of the brand and durability of the collection. It is also noteworthy to mention that the performance of the fabric and thoughtful design features like light compression and phone pockets will make your workouts far more comfortable, especially if you’re just starting out.

Haraka

Many brands are now offering activewear lines and workout clothes to fit multi-faceted luxury lifestyles and Hakara is one of them. While the brand is not very experimental with designs, they are sure experimental with colours. Their latest neon collection will make you stand out in any crowd. The brand’s designers craft breathable, machine washable fabrics into comfortable and timeless garments to last for a long period of time. Each item is made with high-tech fabric that resists odour, wicks away sweat, and stretches for a perfect fit.

Iron Gear

This brand offers everything from quality shorts and t-shirts to shoes and socks and sports hijabs that are both fashionable and functional. The brand also offers a lot of high-quality gym gear for the home. The high-performance fabrics used in each garment are breathable, cooling, and exceptionally comfortable for daily wear or training. Sustainability is vital to the brand. When it comes to its running gear, we love that nearly all the tops are moisture-wicking and lightweight to keep you running through your miles.

Gym Armour

With many celebrities championing the brand on the regular, you have probably already come across this brand on your social media feeds. Their collection features bold hues and prints, high-quality and high-performance fabrics, elegant silhouettes, and undeniably fashionable designs that will stand out no matter where you train.
