I don’t know about you guys, but at this point, my wardrobe is almost 50 per cent activewear. I’m a Pilates instructor as my side hustle, so I basically live in the stuff. This means I’m always on the hunt for the best activewear brands to shop here in Australia.
I’ve slowly been building out my workout wardrobe, trying out brands big (think Lululemon and Nike) and small (think Active Truth and Pinky & Kamal) to find the ‘fits that work for me. And because we don’t gatekeep around these parts, I’ve decided to create a running list of the best activewear brands to shop in Australia, so you can find your favourite ‘fits too.
You’re welcome!
