Get to know Gymshark: stylish fitness gear for him and her

Whether you’re a regular gym-goer or an exercise novice, the UK-based brand has the answer to your workout wear worries

A good workout isn’t just about what you do in the gym. Having the right clothing is equally as important in ensuring you get the most out of your fitness regime.

But while there’s a myriad of T-shirts, tanks, leggings and other apparel on the market, finding workout wear that is breathable and comfortable yet flattering and cool can be tricky.

To help, fitness brand Gymshark has a range of clothing to really make you standout in the gym.

Set up in 2012, the UK-based online retailer has gone from a screen-printing operation working out of a garage to one the fastest-growing brands in fitness. Whether you’re an occasional gym-goer or a fitness aficionado, Gymshark has the solution for your workout wear.

Take its Onyx Imperial range for men – a collection of T-shirts, tanks, long-sleeve hooded tops and, new addition, baselayer leggings, all engineered with Gymshark’s signature seamless technology.

Flattering style

Designed to flatter and enhance specific muscle groups, the range features unique fabric shading and supportive stretch, while its “armour-like” second-skin fit follows the contours of the body, ensuring you can move effortlessly through the toughest of workouts without any irritations or distractions.

"I studied a lot of anatomical drawings and followed different muscle groups, working around with textures and shading," says Jack Lamont, Gymshark’s senior menswear designer. "I find it gives a real heroic feel.”

DRY technology ensures breathability and a cool workout, while the seamless fabrics enhance comfort and ease of movement – a key part of the range’s design.

“For the release of the new Onyx Imperial, we decided to add baselayer leggings to the collection,” adds Jack. “These feature the iconic second-skin feel and thoughtful, performance-enhancing design.”

You’ll find the same levels of comfort and coolness in Gymshark’s range for women. Headed up by its sought-after leggings, the Flex collection also includes sports bras, shorts and crop-tops, allowing for perfectly paired workout outfits.

Originally released in 2014, the now iconic Flex leggings come in an ever-changing seasonal colour palette, and offer perfectly placed contour shading woven into sumptuously soft fabric. With great sweat-wicking capabilities, they’ll help you to stay – and look – cool, whatever your choice of workout.
