Gymshark Activewear Review

Shawna Ruth

The fitness wear industry is ever growing and ,competitive few brands have remained supreme. To name a few, Lululemon, Nike and Fabletics are among the contenders. These reliable businesses are considered a safe haven to find the right workout gear that tailors to your needs compared to less reliable brands. Whether that is hitting the treadmill or rushing to the nearest weight rack their leggings, shorts and tops will have you supported. 

 

Made popular by the app Tikok, Gymshark is a company valued at over one billion dollars that provides workout clothing to both men and women. Their mission statement states ,“We exist to create the tools that help people unlock their full, incredible potential and put their ideas into action. Be all that you imagined you could be. Be a visionary.” As a customer, this is not only motivating but empowering, but how do they measure up to competitors products? 

 

As a frequent gym attendee, I live by the standard that by liking what you are wearing you feel a lot more confident and secure. For many, this means wearing different colors, patterns, or matching sets to the gym. Looking at the Gymshark store online there are many options to choose from and there is something for everyone. Some popular items are their Vital Seamless Leggings along with the Flex Sports Long Sleeve. It was almost impossible not to try them out. After purchasing both these items it came to a total of $75.00 before shipping.  When comparing Gymshark to Lululemon you would be getting the same quality clothes for half the price, as both the shirt and leggings would come to a total of $186.00. 

 

Shipping was extremely fast and came within three days from the point of purchase. I was almost blown away from the quality of the leggings, which were very similar to the Lululemon Align leggings. The sizing was spot on as it is hard to find the perfect fit for athletic wear. There was only one way to truly test this product I decided to head to the gym. These squat proof, sweatproof, and comfortable products are well worth the money and shipping fees. As a whole I would recommend this product to anyone looking to expand their fitness wardrobe but also style in the gym.
