What you wear in the gym is becoming more of a concern for many then what they're actually in the gym to do, workout!! As gyms become more and more commercialised a workout can often mean a catch up with friends along with some time spent working out, so how you look is taking more of a president. With this in mind, companies are targeting this market by styling their products more on look than functionality to how they help you in the gym. This some how means that the normal outfit, which would have costed you £40 now seems to cost £80 in the new season, with just a change to the styling and colours used. Here are a few of my tips to get round the ever growing cost!!!
Don’t always go with the leading market street names!!
I am a big advocate of Nike, always have been and always will be however more and more they are pricing their customers out of the market and the average person just can’t afford it, this is when you need to look online. One of the most recent companies to take the clothing market by storm is Gymshark. Originating from a duo in there back room whilst studying at Birmingham University it has become the must buy clothing and endorsed by the top athletes around the world, Steve Cook being one with the biggest profile. The quality is that easily of Nike, some of the best styling on the market, affordable to anyone and durability making it last for years to come. I started wearing Gymshark just over 3 months ago and I now just don't want to get out of the stuff, so I’m speaking from experience. So look to the online names and not just those you see on the high street.
Go reversible!!!
This is some what of a new idea by many companies are now bringing out ranges which are reversible. Now you may say well why is this useful to me, well if you buy a reversible top you're getting two outfits in one. Meaning you'll have an extensive wardrobe, making your friends all jealous, all on a budget with just a few more washing tablets needed to get those few extra washes in. Nike are one of the best for this for men, along with Pink for the ladies.
Style you're own!!
With the gym becoming more of an icon for fashion then don't be afraid to style your own. Grab some gym t-shirts and shorts from a cheap retail shop, some spray paint and get styling. Yes it won’t absorb your sweat as well, but who cares your in the gym for that very reason. Another benefit to this idea is no one will ever have the same top as you, plus who knows people may want to start buying your stuff.
So there you have it, three simple ideas you can use in order to look stylish in the gym and stay on budget.
