I know absolutely nothing about going to the gym or working out and I need some help choosing some actual good quality sports wear.

The clothes I currently have don’t seem suitable at all for exercise in that theyre not particularly flexible, breathable or lightweight.

I’m mainly looking to lose weight and improve cardio fitness as I haven’t done proper exercise in a very long time.

My priorities are durability, longevity and breathability. I’m not bothered about fashion brands unless they can do all three of the above and I don’t mind spending a little more money to get something thats good quality.

I’m in the UK but if you can point me towards the good stuff, even if it’s not available in the UK, it’ll help me pick similar stuff!

Thanks very much for any help in advance!

Cheers!

    Not ashamed to say that I use a lot of gym clothing from Myprotein (UK). Nothing to write home about, but generally decent enough.

    Problem is that they’ve refreshed some of their ranges for worse over time.

    Their older power shorts were great. I’m currently wearing a pair of their training joggers. Their velocity joggers were cracking but they’ve updated them very recently to have annoyingly angled and shallower zip pockets.

    the aforementioned power shorts have since been phased out, along with their form hoodies (possibly one if my most favourite zip up tops ever).

    Typically pick something up as needed whenever I’m placing an order for whey isolate.
