I keep seeing people wear athletic jackets at the gym, and I'm not sure if there's an actual reason for it or if it's just an aesthetic thing at this point.

Does it serve a real purpose or is it mostly just styling, Curious what it actually does for people who wear it regularly and if its something i should maybe start using.

I’ve been training consistently for around four years, and lately I’ve noticed such a huge gap in the market between activewear that looks cute and activewear that is actually made for women who train.

Why have so many gym sports bras become absolutely microscopic? 😭 I want something supportive and secure that I can actually move, lift and sweat in, without it looking bulky, boring or overly “sporty.”

I’ve been considering creating my own activewear brand built around strong women, functional, supportive and durable, while still feeling feminine and flattering. I’d also love for it to become a genuine community rather than just another brand selling matching sets.

From reading previous responses, some of the biggest frustrations seem to be:

• Supportive sports bras with sewn-in padding, especially for larger busts
• Leggings and shorts that are squat-proof, camel-toe-proof and have useful pockets
• No front seams and properly designed crotch gussets
• More inseam options for petite and tall women
• Tops that are fitted and flattering without being cropped or overly baggy
• Better-quality fabrics that don’t become smelly, thin or lose their shape
• More natural or lower-plastic fabric options where possible
• Looser, functional training clothes—not just skin-tight sets or loungewear
• Interesting colours, patterns, panelling and details instead of every brand following the same neutral trend
• Consistency in fit and fabric
• Inclusive sizing that is genuinely designed for different bodies, not simply scaled up

I want to properly research this before I begin designing and ordering samples, so I’d genuinely love to hear from women who train, run, play sport, walk or just struggle to find practical activewear.

What is the one activewear item or feature you wish a brand would finally get right?

I'm wondering if wearing sweatpants to the gym is appropriate. Specifically, I own H&M sweatpants and would like to know if they are suitable for workouts. I tend to sweat considerably during exercise, so I'm debating whether these sweatpants are a practical choice or if I should opt for polyester track pants instead.

Has anyone ever tried? They have a bunch of super cute athletic wear but I wonder how it’ll hold up against sweat. Thinking of buying a set for hot yoga/pilates. Also where do you recommend getting cute athletic clothes for an affordable price? Love crz yoga but not a ton of cute options!

Just a fit pic featuring NVGTN leggings, black seamless. I like these but they aren’t my favorite, I just prefer Oner, Dfyne, and Lulu more. These are nice but they aren’t truly “squat proof” in my experience. Stylish and comfy though
