Thrifted this light pink sports bra, and I want to see if I can find out what brand it is so I can buy more. Only identifying info on it is this silver arrow logo with 0683 next to it. Feels like cotton blend material.
Im looking for suggestions on gym shorts with stretch, plenty of room up front, non lined, breathable material and waist tie?
What do you guys use to hold phones?
I'll try to keep this brief - What do you guys use to hold your phones?
I took up running more then 5 years ago, initially to lose weight but stuck with it ever since. I was and still am quite athletic 28(M) came from a competitive swimming background.
Been trying to find a good solution to hold my phone (Pixel 10 Pro) - I swear phones just keep getting bigger 😑. I usually just like to be streamlined and keep my keys, gel, and phone (for safety) I run 5-10km on a track so I keep my water bottle nearby.
I have tried
Running belts, vests, arm strap holders, etc. they either fall down overtime and I have to re-adjust, bulky, or just don't hold bigger phones.
I currently running with leggings that have pockets I do need to adjust them but they are ok not ideal imo. My girlfriend recommended me try a sports bra with pockets in the back, which I have not tried yet. (From what I could see having the phone in the back center seems the most stable - just basic physics)
I don't really care about it being a "gendered" clothing as I value performance first, I came from comp swimming so I am used to performanced based gear.
Any thoughts?
Will lululemon fix a pair of leggings with a hole in them? I would also be willing to have them hemmed into shorts as well since the hole is lower on the leggings.
Hi everyone,
I’m Ruth, the founder of Formwynn, a small activewear brand I’m building.
Something funny happened recently.A UK coach I was speaking with sent me this message:
“I am cracking up, I am trying to figure out how to pronounce Formwynn, can you tell me how? 🤣🫶🏻😆😬”
And honestly, it made me realise that after spending so much time with the name, I might be too close to it to know what it feels like to someone seeing it for the first time. So I’m curious:
Seeing this name:
FORMWYNN
Before searching, Googling, or asking AI:
There’s no right or wrong answer — I’m genuinely curious about your first reaction.Sometimes an outside perspective is exactly what a founder needs, so I’d really appreciate your thoughts xx
When I’m doing cardio (like an incline treadmill for example) I find I really prefer when I have loose sweatpants but unfortunately most of the them are cotton which isn’t as sweat friendly. I prefer loose fit pants when working out and curious if anyone has tread for loose fitting workout pants or shorts for high intensity cardio workout days?
I was sceptical about getting the zip sports bras in general due to them possibly popping open randomly however these Walmart sports bras really made me comfortable. Not only do they zip but they also have a latch component inside so even if the zipper fails it won’t let everything fall out! Plus i highly doubt the zipper fails would fail as it’s quite high quality. I’ve had it for about a year now and regularly use it and it still feels as good as new! So if you’re looking for some cute and affordable gym clothes Walmart isn’t a bad option. (I’m a D32 cup for reference) 🙌💕 also love my dfyne leggings but I absolutely recommend the yeoreo or similar brands on Amazon over spending the money when the quality just isn’t there…
I’ve been cleaning my closet out and I found so many sets. I only wear them for working out because I work in a corporate setting so no use for them. But I have 50 so far, I haven’t even gone through my dressers. I don’t even know why I have so many I usually buy them when I get a good deal.
Im working on an idea built around a simple philosophy: move to heal, exploring the gaps in the female activewear industry. I personally find that when I’m wearing something I feel comfortable and confident in, it’s easier for me to show up to my fitness commitments. Rather than creating a brand that focuses only on performance and appearance, Im interested in the connections between what we wear, how we feel and our motivation to move. For me, movement is a tool for healing- not just physically, but mentally too. I want to explore whether activewear can play a part in that — helping women feel comfortable, confident and motivated to move in whatever way feels good to them. Most importantly, I want to understand what women feel is currently missing from the activewear industry and what they genuinely want from the clothes they move in.
If you have a few minutes, I’d really appreciate your perspective through my short survey:https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeGPjZA6sJb9bC2JhmOE_1HmBwNJkZfjFFDPmzGG8IopSwtKg/viewform?usp=publish-editor
Thank you for your help 🤍
I’ve been hearing a lot of girls at the studio basically insisting on switching to exclusively natural fibers for activewear. I have a cotton set from mate the label; and it’s nice when I’m in hot yoga but I can’t image it holding up otherwise.
In general, I don’t demonize plastics but I haven’t done enough research on the topic. I was wondering if anyone here can give any insight about if synthetics in activewear are genuinely harmful and if you’ve tried natural fiber activewear.
Hi there, I just wanted to see what anybody’s experience with vs pink leggings has been. Ive been looking for some cute leggings to work out in and I love how they look but I dont want to spend on something that wont fit or work.
Hi everyone,
I'm Ruth, the founder of FORMWYNN, a small activewear brand brand I’ve been building over the past year.
I wanted to come here because many of the decisions we’re making are based on a simple question:
What do women actually need from activewear when they really move?
Not just how it looks in photos, but how it feels during training. Our current focus is women’s activewear, because we’re trying to solve some very specific challenges women experience during movement. That said, I’m also interested in hearing from anyone who cares about fit, comfort and good design.
I’d love to hear your experiences:
1. What type of training or movement do you mainly do?
(HYROX / CrossFit / Pilates / Yoga / Running / Strength training / Other)
2. During that activity, what is the one clothing problem that annoys you most?
Examples:
3. Is there a piece of activewear you own that you think is genuinely well designed? What makes it work SO well?
For us, the best activewear should almost disappear when you wear it — so you can focus on the movement, not your clothes.
I’m building Formwynn from the ground up, and honest feedback from people who actually move is much more valuable than guessing.
Would genuinely love to hear your thoughts.xx
Looking for high support sports bras for bigger busts, I’m a 34DDD. I run, and I currently have a Lululemon run bra which is truly amazing, but I saw that it has lead in it?? So I’m looking for any other great bras out there.
I’m doing early research for a possible tennis-apparel idea. I am not selling anything—just trying to learn from people who actually play.
I personally miss some of the more memorable, polished tennis fashion from the 2000s—like the tailored, feminine looks Maria Sharapova wore—but I know performance matters just as much.
For people who play tennis regularly:
I’m curious to hear what both men and women think about men’s gym wear, particularly from bodybuilding and fitness brands like GASP, Better Bodies and Gorilla Wear rather than general sports brands.
Question for the guys:
For those of you who train 5–7 days a week, put serious effort into nutrition and spend years building your physique with everything that goes into it — wouldn’t you want gym clothes that actually enhance and show off some of that hard work?
A lot of men’s gym clothing seems to do the exact opposite. T-shirts, hoodies, sweaters and jackets are often extremely oversized and long, sometimes practically reaching mid-thigh like mini dresses. It’s almost as if men don’t train glutes or aren’t supposed to care about showing their proportions.
I’m not suggesting men should be walking around in crop tops showing their belly buttons or wearing scrunch leggings. 😅 There’s a huge middle ground.
Why not have fitted, physique enhancing T-shirts that emphasize the shoulders, chest and arms but finish roughly at the waistband/pants line, rather than hanging well below it and covering your entire glutes and upper thighs?
The same applies to pants. If you’ve spent years developing your quads, hamstrings and glutes, why shouldn’t men’s gym pants be designed to complement that? They could fit closer around the glutes and thighs to emphasize developed legs without being skin-tight, then taper toward the calves. Instead, a lot of men’s bodybuilding pants are so loose that they completely hide the lower-body physique.
Meanwhile, women’s fitness clothing seems to have gone almost completely in the opposite direction. Sometimes it feels harder to find a women’s fitness top that isn’t cropped, fitted or specifically designed to complement the physique.
Question for the women:
What would you think about men wearing more physique focused gym clothing — shorter fitted T-shirts and hoodies that emphasize the shoulders, waist and glutes, combined with athletic pants designed to complement developed quads and glutes? Would you find that more attractive/flattering, or do you prefer the oversized style that's currently common?
And for the guys:
If bodybuilding brands offered clothing like this, would you actually buy and wear it?
I don’t even do yoga, but I love wearing form fitting stretchy clothes when I work out and hike, so if they aren’t “yoga” shorts that also fine.
I’d love some fun patterns, NO FRONT SEAM, and good quality that will last and hold up. If it has a small pocket for a chapstick etc, I’d also love that.
