So, I don’t know about you but I missed the ‘everyone dresses to impress at the gym nowadays’ memo. I was the typical leggings, old baggy shirt and a pair of unsuitable trainers girl you would see battling my will power on the treadmill. I am still many of those things, however thanks to some online and high street stores, I now have an updated gym wardrobe. My face may still look a mess and my hair will never be neat and tidy, but at least my leggings now match my top.

As long as you’re working out and happy that’s all that really matters, but if you want to upgrade your gym attire here is a look into what’s out there.
