Our Fave Summer Workout Clothes

While you can technically work out in anything, dressing for your sweat sessions can definitely help you get into the zone. Just ask anyone who's ever traded up their ratty old pair of sweatpants for a sleek and sexy pair of compression tights: what you wear can affect how you feel. This statement isn't just based on anecdotal evidence either; studies show that clothing can increase confidence, and when you're trying to channel beast mode to get really into a workout, this confidence is key.

Our Fave Summer Workout Clothes

It's probably no surprise that we love us some workout style. From Sean's superpower leggings, to Lisa's seemingly endless supply of sexy, stylish and high-performance sports bras, all of our trainers know a thing or two about fun and functional workout fashion.

And that’s what all workout wear should be: fun and functional  — especially in the summer when it’s hot as hell and you’re working up a sweat al fresco. Your clothing not only needs to look good and make you feel amazing about yourself, but it also needs to perform as well as you do. It needs to bend when you bend, stretch when you stretch: it needs to breathe like you breathe  — and if you’re in the middle of a hardcore HIIT session, it needs to breathe even better.

Gear that helps you work as hard as you can is gear that gets you closer to your goals. This is why we view our athletic attire as an investment in our health, rather than a frivolous expense.

So what’s our favorite gear?

In this video, our trainer, Dani (@dani.doucette.xo) dishes about her fave workout apparel. Spoiler! One of her most beloved pieces adds a pop of colour and some serious muscle building, fat blasting resistance to her training. We're talking about the ultimate workout accessory: the weighted vest! Like all great accessories, it's timeless and it can go with any outfit.
