Calling Plus Size Ladies who want gym clothes.

Not an advert...I am a long term poster but I liked this companies attitude, so I thought Mumsnetters might like them too.

State of Mind specialise in bigger sizes gym and swim clothes and we are talking up to size 28 and the sizes are cut generously too !

I bought two items from their sale pages and when they arrived, they were on the big side.

State of Mind happily swapped them for smaller sizes and even sent out the new sizes before I returned the originals ones. Which was very nice of them.

Plus they have an 'exchange' programme. If I lose (or gain) weight in the next six months I can swap my gym clothes for a new size at no cost ! How cool is that.

I rang to check the details. The owner was telling me that she wanted to encourage women of all sizes to exercise. She set up the exchange program to reduce the cost of replacing gym clothes as we lose weight.

That applies to all full price and sale price clothes but not clearance items.

I really like this company and hoping this post to help other big women like me find suitable swim and gym wear :)

So AIBU to tell you about this great English company who do reasonable priced plus size gym clothes with exchange scheme ?

Thank you! Been struggling to find some longer tops to cover my gut and it looks like they have quite a few.

Yes, my long sleeved gym top is a good length too.

Thank you very useful.

No problem :)

Ps. Mumsnet Towers I am surprised you deleted my web link. It is clear I am a genuine poster on this site for over a decade and I have never had an web address deleted in any of my posts !

As a fat lady who exercises it is so tricky to find big clothes. As most plus size ranges go up to 18 :( I just thought some people would find it useful :)

Thanks for this! Have been looking for some decent clothes. I hate that mainstream bands think XL for women is a size 16!

I like the running tights and long sleeved gym top. I also got a pair of shorts with a net later to try too.
