Gym fitness clothing brand

There is no universal optimal solution, just choose according to your fitness stage, core needs, and budget range - the current mainstream choices can basically be classified into three categories: cost-effective public models, advanced models with professional functions, and trendy social models. Each has its own advantages and disadvantages, so there is no need to blindly follow the trend.

I was doing squats in the strength area last Wednesday, and the two trainers next to me were wearing very representative outfits: One was wearing a 99 yuan quick-drying suit just released by Decathlon. After two sets of deadlifts, the sweat on his back was directly directed to the surface of the fabric, which was completely non-sticky to the touch. The other was wearing lululemon's License to Train shorts, when you squat down until your thighs are parallel to the ground, the trouser legs don't move up at all, and you don't even need to adjust them. The price difference between the brands they chose is 10 times faster, but they both suit their needs.

Let’s first talk about the popular models that are least likely to be pitted. In addition to Decathlon, a veteran brand that has been running for many years, the basic lines of domestic keep and Gudong are also good. You can get one for one or two hundred yuan. The moisture absorption and perspiration rate of quick-drying fabrics is 3-4 times that of ordinary cotton T-shirts, which is suitable for daily basic training. It is completely sufficient. The only shortcoming is that the cut is relatively common. People with pear-shaped bodies and particularly large muscles may get stuck in the crotch and strangle their arms when wearing it. It is especially suitable for novices who have just applied for the card and are not sure whether they can persist. Even if they are idle after practicing twice, they will not feel bad if they throw it away.

If you are a veteran who goes to the gym more than 4 times a week, you will most likely choose a brand with professional functional lines, such as Under Armour’s Johnson series, domestic Particle Mania, and niche weightlifting brand SBD. The spandex content of these models is generally more than 25%, with full elasticity on all sides and flat seams. ock flat seams, no matter how you move, they won’t scratch your skin. I used to buy gym pants from a certain Internet celebrity at a cheap price. When I was doing deadlifts, my waist would curl up again and again. I had to stop and lift my pants halfway, which made me want to get into the pile of barbell plates. I changed to the Particle Fanatic model and wore them for almost a year, and I haven’t had this problem again. This kind of item costs about 300-800 yuan a piece, which is not expensive, but it can really improve the training experience.

As for the most discussed trendy models such as lululemon, MAIA ACTIVE and Alo Yoga, they are also the most controversial. It is undeniable that the tailoring is really thoughtful. The fake hip width of the pear-shaped figure and the trained hip line can be modified just right. Many styles can be worn directly with a jacket and go out on the street. Many girls go to drink coffee or go shopping in the supermarket after practicing yoga without changing clothes, which is full of emotional value. But it’s true that the premium is high. For example, lululemon’s Align yoga pants are officially priced at 850, while the niche functional style of the same nylon + spandex fabric only costs more than 200. Some people think, “Only when I dress well will I be motivated to go to the gym. Spend more money to buy it.” What’s more, it’s the desire to train, it’s so worth it.” Others think, “When practicing, focus on the movements. Who has time to watch what others are wearing? Spending three times more money is purely an IQ tax.” There is nothing wrong with both views. The essence is that the needs are different. There is no need to argue about right or wrong.

I have been in the gym for almost 5 years. I have seen novices who just bought a limited-edition fitness suit worth 10,000 yuan and ran away after practicing three times. I have also seen my elder brother who won the provincial bodybuilding competition championship. He wears a 29-yuan pure cotton vest that has been washed white every day. When he stands on the squat rack and can squat 200 kilograms steadily, no one will look at him because he is cheap.

To be honest, fitness clothes are just an auxiliary tool after all. If you can really keep practicing, you can get in good shape even if you wear an old man's shirt. If you don't want to move at all, wearing a limited edition is useless. When choosing a brand, don't be led away by marketing rhetoric. Feel the fabric to see if it feels stuffy. When trying it on, squat twice and jump twice. It won't catch your crotch, abrade your skin, or affect your movements. That's enough.
