A little bird may have told you it was our birthday. That’s right, we’ve been fuelling your ambitions for 14 years now, and we’re in the mood to celebrate!
For the occasion, our designers have put together a list of 14 gym kit essentials — so if you don’t already have them, it might be worth making a note for your own birthday wish list, or as present ideas for somebody else.
Check out these top picks…
1. Tropical Leggings and Crop Top
The crop top provides medium support with built-in cups and a racer-back detail, and the leggings are squat-proof with printed sculpting panels for shape enhancement. They’re also completely reversible so you can switch up your look whenever you want — whether you’re feeling the summery print one day, or a subtler look the next.
Take a step towards summer in these gorgeous jungle-print training pieces, both crafted with sweat-wicking, 4-way stretch fabric so that they can keep up with any workout.
2. Ignite Sports Bra and Shorts
Feel confident throughout every session in the bold colour-block panels of the Ignite collection. The shorts are just what every summer gym kit’s been waiting for — they’re dual layered for maximum coverage, so you’ll be set whether you’re squatting or skipping, and have a concealed zip pocket on the hip for safely storing tech.
The bra comes with an elasticated underband, removable cups, and a stylish mesh back panel — which doesn’t just look amazing, but helps airflow too. Featuring sections of deep navy, fierce blue, coral, and bright white, you’ll be turning heads in this vibrant piece.
3. Breeze T-Shirt
Crafted with burnout effect fabric, it has a semi-transparent look and is designed with a flattering dropped hem and scooped neckline.
You’ll have the freedom for any movement — whether it’s a yoga pose, kettlebell swing, or triceps dip.
4. Seamless Leggings
Created with super-soft yarns to create the comfiest, silkiest, second-skin fit, they’ll move just as you do throughout every activity, contouring your form with sculpted knit panels.
Plus, they’re sweat-wicking, breathable, and — perhaps most importantly — they’re totally squat-proof so you’ll be covered from warm up to cool down.
5. Shape Seamless Crop Top
Another must-have for summer training, this second-skin crop top is constructed with unique knit technology to give contrasting panels for flattering shape enhancement. Finished with raglan sleeves to allow maximum range of motion, you’ll be able to combat any workout in this sweat-wicking, soft-touch material.
Available in black for a sleek look, or softer shades of light coral and blue marl for a more seasonal outfit — you may as well get all three to be on the safe side.
6. Shadow Sports Bra and Leggings
The leggings have a high-rise waistband for a flattering fit, and the sports bra has a racer-front design with built-in cups and a longline length so that you’ll be supported from burpees to sprints.
What more could you want?
7. Boost Jacket
The Boost Jacket is made from a lightweight, water-resistant fabric and has an adjustable hood, making it the perfect layer to shield you from the elements — whether you’re training outdoors or just wearing to and from the gym.
Featuring secure zip pockets and a built-in headphone outlet, it’s totally tech compatible, so you never have to be without your motivational playlist.
It’s also finished with reflective prints, meaning it’s safe for outdoor runs in the early morning or late at night.
8. Performance Short-Sleeve Top
Crafted from lightweight stretch material to give you maximum range of movement and breathable comfort — it’s ideal whether you’re hitting the weights or tackling some cardio.
Finished with a ribbed crew neckline and raglan sleeves, it’s available in a huge range of marl dye colours, so you can switch up your style from session to session.
9. Sculpt Seamless Long-Sleeve T-Shirt
Seamless is all about definition. Our Sculpt T-Shirt is constructed with unique knit technology, with engineered sculpt lines to give a second-skin fit and ultimate shape enhancement.
Created with breathable, sweat-wicking fabric and thumbholes for comfort, you’ll be set to tackle anything your regime throws at you.
10. Dry-Tech Infinity Tank
It’s sweat wicking with flatlock style seams, a curved hem, and it’s treated with an antibacterial finish, meaning it’ll stay fresher for longer between sessions.
11. Power Shorts
Another piece that should be a key feature in your summer kit — these training shorts are double-layered and designed with 4-way stretch fabric to give a tight, comfortable fit — and the coverage to be confident whether you’re rope-jumping or deadlifting.
They’re finished with styled seam lines, an elasticated waistband, and invisible zip pockets to keep all your tech safe. We’ve covered all bases.
12. Tru-Fit Pullover Hoodie
Our Tru-Fit Pullover Hoodie is designed with a new-and-improved tailored fit, and internal fleece so that you’re always snug, whether at home or the gym.
We think it’s the ideal comfortable layer to throw on wherever you are.
13. Hand Towel
Back to basics. This is a training essential that you shouldn’t be without — you’re safe to sweat in style with our soft-touch cotton hand towel. Finished with embossed branding and available in black or white, it’s a gym kit classic.
14. Barrel Bag
So obviously you need something to carry all of this amazing kit in! And we couldn’t think of anything more suitable than our spacious barrel bag — featuring a large main interior for all your training essentials, a Velcro side pocket, dual carry handles, and an adjustable shoulder strap. Head to the gym in style.
