5 Activewear Brands in Bangkok to Work Out in at Home and the Gym

Before you roll your eyes at the idea of activewear in the belief that you're just going to sweat anyway, so what you wear while working out doesn't really matter — hear us out. Gym clothes aren’t just about style.

When made with the right materials, activewear can help protect you from injuries, overheating, and strain, as well as keep your body secure while exercising, especially if you're a woman. Gym wear fabric is also usually lightweight and has sweat-wicking properties, so you can push yourself during your training in comfort.

Of course, stylish activewear in your favourite prints and colours can go a long way in boosting your confidence to train. If you look good, then you feel good. Just know that you don't have to choose between functionality and style. You deserve both. Here are five activewear brands in Bangkok to help you there.

Girlsnation

There's nothing wrong with basic. In fact, your basic, timeless pieces are what will see you through the frivolous seasons and trends of fashion.

Flexi Lexi Fitness  

Flexi Lexi Fitness is a Bangkok-based yoga and activewear brand that utilises recycled plastic fabric in its pieces. Micky Kometsopa founded it in 2014 during her pregnancy, which was a frustrating time as she couldn't find any sports bras that were comfortable, fun, and fit her perfectly. That's when she decided to tap a supplier and create a bralette called the Lexi. This was just the first among many inventions, as she created more styles and colours for activewear. Today, Flexi Lexi offers bodysuits, playsuits, bralettes, sports bras, skorts, leg warmers, pants, biker shorts, leggings, tops and outerwear, and swimwear. She also has a Mini Flexi Lexi collection suitable for kids. Go here to shop Flexi Lexi Fitness.
