  What is your favorite gym attire (Men)

  Fabletics is so ew ngl. Looks decent at first but long-term durability is kinda meh. Gymshark’s stuff is solid quality tbh, good materials, lasts well, and looks nice. Just watch out for weird sizing and meh customer service, based on what I’ve seen. Flux shoes are comfy if you want zero-drop without going barefoot, but don’t expect them to make you faster or less tired, def not for everyone. When picking gym clothes, go for synthetic fabrics like polyester and spandex since they handle sweat and wear better. make sure the fit’s just right, not too tight or loose, so you can move freely. its also smart to get pieces you can wear for different workouts and just around town. and grabbing full-sleeve tees helps when it’s cold or you’re working out outside. here’s a list of budget-friendly gym wear. even if you need to replace them down the line, it won’t feel like you spent a ton of money.

  [Request] Best quality gym, running, and outdoor adventure shorts

  Don’t waste your money on expensive gym shorts. There are plenty of options under $40 that will meet all your needs. Get something geared towards cross training or HIIT stretch, maybe a side slit for better running range of motion, and zip pockets. I love my Gymshark Sport shorts, which have been going strong since 2018 through heavy abuse. I can’t exactly speak to the quality of the current Sports… They’ve been redesigned somewhere along the way and it looks like they’ve cut costs on finishes (now vinyl logos and lettering, guaranteed to slide off in hot wash / dry, whereas they used to have stitched logos; and smaller outside stretch panels), but they’ve also beefed up the waistband and added side slits, so the current design actually looks more functional than mine overall. The zip pockets are now must-haves for drives to the gym and city running. The zips and the stretchier fabric are worth the (modest) price premium versus Gymshark’s Arrival shorts, which I’ve also tried over the years and don’t really recommend. They’ve also held up well, but items slide out of the pockets as soon as I sit down and the fabric is noticeably cheaper.

  I’ve had some good experiences with a few of the brands you mentioned. Gymshark has always been a solid choice for me...good quality and decent pricing, especially when they have sales. The fit and comfort are on point for activewear
