Gym Wear Favourites

Having recently started back in the gym as well as training for my half marathon, I go through gym clothes like nobody's business. They seem to be the only thing I wear at the moment so I needed to purchase some good quality gym wear. I have two separate types as I prefer different types of legging for the gym and for running.

For running I prefer a legging that has a higher waist with a thicker band at the top to ensure they don't fall down but also a thicker material with longer length in the legs. In the gym I prefer a thinner material with a slightly lower waist band so thy are more flexible for movements like squats - so basically the complete opposite of my running leggings!

At the moment I am absolutely loving Tesco's F&F for clothing in general - they have really upped their game - but particularly their active wear line.  I have had many pairs of leggings from them in the past and I have worn them out with running in them so much. My favourite pair at the moment are the mesh panel marl leggings in grey, I love the combination of black, white and grey. They are so comfortable and the mesh detailing on the back portion of the legs is so on trend..  and only £14!

A few weeks ago I was lucky enough to be approached by Progress Gym wear, which is a brand from Manchester that sell high quality gym wear, to become an ambassador for them. As I was looking for some new gym items I thought I would take the plunge and purchase a sports bra and some leggings. Looking through the website you can see that they are a relatively small brand with a small selection of items for women. This initially made me think they wouldn't be the best but I have to say I am pleasantly surprised at the quality of both items.

The material is so soft and comfortable that I honestly feel as though I don't have anything on! They fit perfectly for me, I ordered a large as I am a size 14, and they are so flattering which makes me feel so much more confident in the gym. Another bonus with the leggings is that they have two large but discreet pockets on the sides that you can put your phone in  - I have to say I absolutely love this because I usually have to tuck my phone into my bra straps. I would definitely recommend these and they are cheaper than other gym wear brands. The leggings are £24.99 and the sports bra is £19.99 and if you use my code ELEANOR10 you get 10% off!
