Active summer: workout gear and sweat-proof gym ‘fits.
The heat is rising, and it’s not just the weather getting warmer – your workouts are probably warming up too. With summer in full swing, it doesn’t matter how high you crank the fan or how much you pace yourself – the sweat is here to stay.
So if you prefer to leave the gym glistening with sweat instead of dripping wet, this exercise gear round-up is for you. It’s filled with gym outfits plus all the gear you need to stay healthy, strong and snatched this summer.
Sweat-proof gym ‘fits for women.
First things first, let’s talk about what you need to wick away (most) of the sweat during sticky seasonal workouts. Our tip: check the reviews for lightweight and comfy pieces labelled ‘moisture-wicking’ or ‘breathable’ because sweat (and stink) likes to linger if it’s not shown the door.
Activewear sets are great, but if you’re a mix-and-match kinda girl, separates work too. A good tank that blends style and function is a must-have for runs, classes and your morning downward dog. We love LSKD’s Empower Corset Bra because it’s super cute and features moulded bra cups and contouring panels to tame your ta-tas. Hello, support.
Style it with your go-to airy shorts, or invest in a bunch of snug (but sweat-proof) bike shorts. Whether you’re into high-rise minis, knee-grazers or scrunched booty shorts, pockets and secret compartments are a must. They’ll keep you cool too.
Gym gear that hits different.
Level up your workout game with the right gym gear. From tech-savvy gadgets that track every move to ergonomic gear that supports your grind, they’ll help you train harder and smarter no matter what you’re into. More of that, please.
Whether you’re hitting the gym or sweating it out at home, smartwatches like the Apple Watch Series 9 can help you stay on track or smash your fitness goals. Like a personal trainer in your pocket (or on your wrist), these clever workout and running gadgets can help you track your steps, distance, heart rate, calories burned and loads more.
If adding resistance is your jam, add a set of wrist weights to your arsenal. We love Bala Bangles because they’re wildly versatile and add just the right amount of resistance to workouts, walks, yoga, boxing or any other movements. Choose your colour vibe and wear them on your wrists or ankles.
Workout winners everybody’s loving.
If you’re ready to turn up the heat on your training regime, these products are exactly what you need to fuel each training session with an extra dose of energy and burn. They’re designed to push you further, ensuring that every rep, set and stride brings you that satisfying burn – the kind that screams progress and achievement.
Love skipping? A Celsius Deluxe Weighted Skipping Rope will spice things up and challenge your whole body. This nifty rope will help you hit new training heights during cardio, aerobic and HIIT workouts, plus you’ll burn some serious calories too.
Prefer weights? Revamp your workout routine with a versatile Fit From Home weight set. This package includes 40KG of adjustable dumbbells, kettlebells and a barbell, so you can power up every session minus the gym memberships.
