The Best Fitness Brands For Yoga, Running & When You’re on a Budget

Recently someone requested on Instagram for me to do a post about the best fitness brands and which ones are my favourite. At first I wasn’t going to do it, as I love so many brands and I knew I’d find it hard to make the blog post an acceptable length! But after having a long think about it, even though I do love so many amazing brands, I picked out the brands below, all for different reasons. Like I say though, this is in no way as far as my workout wardrobe goes – as Rob will testify to!

1. FOR YOGA – Sweaty Betty

Just a little note on the Dharmabums fit, they do come in different lengths and waist heights, but my preferred choice is full length and high waisted.

SHOP MY CHARLI COHEN EDIT:

SHOP MY LUCAS HUGH EDIT:

Nordic white pinstripe leggings

Like I said I love both of these brands and found it hard to pick one over the other. The Charli Cohen laser leggings in this photo are pretty much the comfiest leggings I’ve ever owned, AND they’re pretty sassy, but I love the Lucas Hugh prints – see more of them here.

 

6. FOR ACTIVE FASHION x SIMPLE ESSENTIALS – Every Second Counts

7. FOR A SMALL BUDGET – H&M

Right, it’s time for me to hit the gym, but now I don’t know which awesome outfit to wear!
