Size Inclusive Activewear?

11 replies

Hi

After having my third kid last year, I am struggling to shake off the weight. I have tried to look for gym wear that caters for us curvier women - many don't go up to my size and others are less than flattering and look seedy/cheap and tacky.

Does anyone have any recommendations?

I have come across the likes of LA Nation, TALA, Bo & Tee, Be Aybl but don't want to pay for gymwear only to realise that it isn't great and especially squat proof as I dont want to show off my hooha to the gym. I am self conscious enough as it is!!

Any help would be appreciated.

What size are you talking and where are you?

M&S do a decent range of active wear GoMove and given its M&S they do big sizes too. And not too wildly priced that you'll be peaved when you shrink and they are too big.

I’ve just bought some decent work out tops and leggings from Next and M&S. Large sizes and they have tall options yay

I love MyProtein gym wear. They do a good range of sizes and their leggings are amazing. I've tried loads of brands and MyProtein are my faves.

They do sales all the time so you can get some good deals. I'm sure they also do a 50% discount for blue light card holders.

What size, M&S, Sainsbury's and Asda make decent active ranges

Just to add. The curve leggings from MyProtein aren't great unless you're 7 foot tall, but the others are amazing.

Nike goes up to size 24-26.

Sorry, Size is 18 but looking to downsize as I progress through my fitness routine. Have bought a few things previously but it doesnt look great on me.

Usual issues - they are photographed on skinny minnys and look great but when you get them they sit horribly on you.

Fabletics do a huge range of sizes and modelled on different sizes too ☺️

It’s a subscription model though so make sure you skip each month if you don’t need the credits or cancel as soon as poss!

MyProtein have a variety of different models.

Also try Vinted. If you're planning to downside throughout your journey it'll save you spending a fortune for clothes that'll be too loose as you lose weight.

Sainsburys do a good range of sizes, decent fabric that doesn't cling to much or go transparent and they last well
