Outfits That Get You Excited for the Gym
Goodbye, boring activewear. These outfits will help you stick to your fitness goals.
While some may argue that the gym isn’t a fashion show, we humbly disagree. Activewear that is designed for performance, reflects your personal style, and makes you feel comfortable can help you feel motivated to workout. And some days, that little extra push is exactly what you need to get moving. So if you’re looking for ways to stay consistent with your fitness goals, check out these three looks that are as chic as they are functional. They’re so good, they’ll make the hurdle of getting off the couch a whole lot easier.
Workout warrior
As a color, black represents strength, seriousness, and power. Which is everything we want to channel into our workouts. And when it comes down to it, you can never really go wrong with all black—at the gym or otherwise. It’s known to be a universally flattering shade on everyone, plus it’s great for concealing sweat. If you’re concerned your outfit will potentially read too one-note, leggings and sports bras detailed with bold patterns and tanks printed with motivational messages are great for livening things up.
Strength in colors
Is there really anything better than a statement-making, monochrome outfit? We don’t think so. This look is perfect if you’ve already got your workout essentials down and want to incorporate more style into your wardrobe. If making a bold impression is more your speed, the formula is easy: pick your favorite color and go with varying shades within the same spectrum. An added bonus? Because everything can be mixed and matched, you’ll have less excuses to skip that yoga class.
In good form
Balance and coordination are key for exercises like strength training and weight lifting. And the same goes for your activewear, too. Look for printed leggings made with breathable, moisture-wicking materials to keep you comfortable. Then, coordinate with pieces that draw from the colors within the pattern to bring everything together. Layer a good-fitting sports bra under a performance tank and throw a matching sweatshirt overtop if you decide to take your workout outdoors.
